<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 28px;">The book is about building a cohesive America where each one of us feels secure about our faith, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual and political orientation. Who does not want to live a tension free life at home, workplace, and in the public space? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The "American Muslim Agenda” serves a two-fold purpose. On the one hand, it separates the chaff from the grain for fellow Americans to see Muslims for who they are and not how the media projects them. On the other hand, it challenges Muslims to restore Islam to its original purpose; that is to create cohesive societies, in our case, a coherent America, where each one of the 323 Million Americans feels proud of his or her uniqueness. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The book presents many success stories to keep the reader bemused. I am pleased to submit three versions of the blurbs on the book talk. The format can be 10 minutes or 20 minutes presentation with room for Q&A. We want our esteemed guests to go home fully satisfied with all the questions they have had about Islam and Muslims. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Our conservative friends would grudgingly acknowledge the pathway laid out in the book, while the moderates will dance with joy. If your vision of America is in tune with the book, together as Americans, we can contribute towards the greatness of our nation.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Would this bring a change among Muslims towards others and others towards Muslims? Indeed, this book lays out a clear agenda to foster harmony among fellow Americans. It is akin to planting a seed and nurturing to give the beneficence to the next generation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Some of the reservations we have about Muslims is based on what we have heard from our parents, friends, teachers, pastors, and TV. It is time for us to learn first-hand about them and remove the misunderstandings and live freely. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">It is one of the bold books written about Muslims, and it highlights the sources of extremism and how to cure it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Unfortunately, some of the Muslim scholars from the past have reduced Islam to a religion of rituals and obedience. This book brings clarity to Muslims and fellow humans and separates the chaff from the wheat for you.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The overall theme of the book is to open people's hearts and minds towards each other. I believe that the ultimate ‘unexpressed’ purpose of humans is to live freely and be comfortable with one's culture, race, religion, ethnicity, sexuality, and individuality.</span></div>

<b style="font-size: 14pt;"><i>Why do you think that this book will appeal to readers?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">It will appeal to Muslims and Non-Muslims alike, as they have never seen the pristine, pluralistic Islam. Moreover, for the first time in Islamic history, the essence of Islam is explained. Also, for the first time, the book explains twelve values directly from the Quran that contributes towards building cohesive societies with no privileges to one over the other. It is human nature to get along with fellow beings, and this book will resonate with them and pave the path for them to see the light at the end of the tunnel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">1.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">3. Islam is not about imposing (Sharia) your ideas or governing others.

Never before in Islamic history, twelve values of Islam that contribute to creating secure, orderly and cohesive societies have been articulated. Verses from the Quran fully back each value.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">The book paves the way for Muslims to own their mistakes, remedy them, and correct how fellow Americans perceive Muslims. Mike argues that Islam is not about imposing your ideas or governing others. Instead, Islam is about living your life and letting others live theirs with freedom. It is a bold challenge to Muslims. He shows a narration from humanity's (Aalameen) perspective of the essence and purpose of Islam for the first time in history.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">Mike articulates, for the first time in Islamic history, twelve values of Islam that contribute to creating secure, orderly and cohesive societies. He concludes that the best way to combat Islamophobia (and other phobias) is through education, engagement, and dialogue. Mike lays out a clear agenda to foster harmony among fellow Americans. It is akin to planting a seed and nurturing to give the beneficence to the next generation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">Mike believes when Muslims become one with all and defend American values with their souls, they will become part of the American story, and everyone’s language will automatically shift from us vs. them to us, the one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. As American Muslims, we uphold, protect, defend and celebrate the values enshrined in our constitution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">A Muslim is someone who is a conflict mitigater and a goodwill nurturer, following the formula for peaceful societies practiced by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and guided by the Quran.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">As a community, American Muslims have not developed any concrete plans to extricate themselves out of the chaotic situations, hostility and incessant Islamophobic rhetoric we face. Each time a terrorist acts out, we start praying and wishing that the terrorist not be a Muslim. We are Americans, and we can do better than that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">There is only one America, and all of us are fully integrated parts of that nation. We need to learn to engage with those who are opposed to us, and reassure them that we are all in this together. Mike will share some success stories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 21.4667px;">Would the book American Muslim Agenda bring attitudinal change among Muslims? Yes, it will, it’s akin to planting seeds and nurturing it to give the beneficence to the next generation. I know most American Muslims will wholeheartedly subscribe to the refreshed understanding of Islam, we need to expand it to more Americans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 21.4667px;">Some of the reservations we have about Muslims and Islam are based on what we have heard from our parents, teachers, clergy, favorite media people and others. We need to find the truth on our own and find freedom from misunderstandings. It is a blessing to be free.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 17.71px;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 21.4667px;">Muslims have shied away from confronting difficult issues about their faith, and most of them don't even have a clue about the essence of Islam, it was never articulated before in the history of Islam. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 21.4667px;">A few medieval scholars have reduced Islam to rituals, five pillars, dhimmi, jizya, sharia, externalities, and enforcement of your rules on to others. That is not Islam, and most Muslims can recite verses that Islam is about free will. God uploaded free will into Adam’s DNA, and emphasized it in the Quran, the prophet practiced ‘freewill’ and established examples for it. Sadly, Muslims know the truth but were bullied into silence with fatwa bombs. All I have done is articulated what Muslims believe, but dared not say it. The book is the voice of the majority of ‘American’ Muslims.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 21.4667px;">This book is a product of twenty years of research and thousands of discussions in which Muslims, non-Muslims, and “Islamophobes” have participated in it, including debates on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Stuart Varney, Pamela Geller, Brigitte Gabrielle, Robert Spencer, Jamie Glazov, Raymond Ibrahim, Walid Shoebat, Wafa Sultan, and several others. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 21.4667px;">Islam is about living your life and letting others live theirs. Islam is about building cohesive societies where all of God's creation lives with dignity and freedom. In God’s universe, we are merely a speck, and no one is more privileged than the other. If you are a moderate individual of any faith, you will find the book in tune with you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 21.4667px;">It is time to go beyond the five pillars of Islam, and I hope the Imams and Muslim scholars who are free thinkers would appreciate the contents of the book. This book may indeed become a reference manual for teaching Islamic values that contribute to creating a better world for all humanity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 21.4667px;">The American Muslim Agenda offers guidance to Muslims to be one with all, and it voices what Muslims believe and live with and empowers them to live their lives and let others live with free will. The book opens the door to people of other faiths to shed their biases and join hands in creating a world of safety, security, and harmony for all humanity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

As an Indian American, it is embarrassing to see my country listed as the 4th worst country in the world for religious violence.</div>

Hinduism does not allow you to kill, maim, molest and rape others, the men and women who are doing this are doing it on their own or their politics is encouraging them to do it. At the end, they are staining the name of India and Hinduism both.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, Verdana; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 1.71429rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you are the wrongdoer, you need to be embarrassed and seek repentance, all of us need to seek it as it frees our souls. On the other hand, if you are not the guy who is harming fellow Indians, you need to condemn the traitors who are killing, maiming, harassing and raping fellow Indians in the name of Hindutva, which is not Hinduism.</div>

If you are an Indian-American, you ought to be ashamed of your silence for atrocities against fellow Indians who are different than you. You need to speak up. Should the majority of Americans treat you the same?</div>

The Hindu America Foundation can take up the issue and urge the Modi government to bring the rule of law and restore dharma for every Indian to live a normal life without fearing the other. Let every Indian have the freedom to believe whatever he/she wants to believe, eat, drink or wear whatever suits him or her and live his life to the fullest in the pursuit of his happiness.</div>

India historically touts itself as a secular state, one where all religions are recognized and can peacefully co-exist. Well, at least in theory, it is. Unfortunately, the reality is much different.</div>

Tensions between religious groups—especially Hindus and Muslims—has long divided India, but the rifts have intensified. “[In 2015,] Muslims in India at times experienced attacks by Hindus because of alleged cow slaughter, while Hindus were also sometimes the targets of hostilities by Muslims as well,” Katayoun Kishi, the study’s lead author, told Quartz. “In addition, there were multiple incidents of rioting and mob violence involving the two groups.”</div>

The national government may not have issued any official nationwide diktats about religion, but events leading up to and in 2015 have sparked controversy throughout India.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">My comments are followed by Nonie Darwish’s article. <br />
<br />The only consumers of her article are those who have to hate someone or the other and she capitalizes on it and directs their ire towards Muslims, and obviously, there is a population out there that rewards her. <br />
<br />I have been with her on Sean Hannity show and have written two rebuttals in the past and here is another one. <br />
<br />First of all, for every Muslim ass, there is a Jewish, Christian, Hindu and others ass. She quotes a Pakistani religious leader for making a ridiculous statement. Identical statements have been made by religious leaders of other faiths too. Rabbis, Pastors, and Pandits have made stupid statements like Peerzada. Do they speak for the majority of the people? Hell, no! You cannot shove bad guys in your face and tell that anyone associated with him – his family members, his co-religionists, the mayor of the town or the governor of the state to be like him. <br />
<br />Nonie has made several ridiculous statements, “</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Because his own tribe had rejected and ridiculed him, Mohammed needed the approval of the Jews, whom he called the people of the book.” In fact, several Jews walked out on her when she was speaking in a Synagogue in Los Angeles, they could not bear her fabrications. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">By <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/nonie_darwish">Nonie Darwish</a><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Recently, a Pakistani religious leader, Pirzada Muhammad Raza Saqib Mustafai, said: "When the Jews are wiped out ... the sun of peace [will] begin to rise on the entire world." The same preaching is routinely done not only by clerics, but by politicians -- in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and elsewhere. This is not just Ahmedinijad; it is at the heart of Islamic theology that world peace will be established only when all the Jews are wiped from the earth. But few people in Western media are alarmed by this kind of rhetoric or care to expose this dreadful dark side of Islam's obsession with Jew-hatred.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I do not believe that one has to be an authority on human behavior or group thinking to find out the obvious pathology in Islamic Jew-hatred. It is time for all of us to uncover and expose this atrocity against the Jewish people. We owe that to humanity and the truth.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No true Muslim can see that such hatred is unbecoming and unholy for a world religion to focus on and that the credibility of Islam is tarnished by such hatred. No Muslim is allowed to go far enough to self-analyze or ask why such hatred. Muslims defend Jew-hatred by claiming that Jews betrayed Muhammad and thus deserving of this kind of treatment. Even when I was a Muslim, I believed that the one-sided story against Jews by Islam was enough to justify all the killing, terror, lies, and propaganda by Islamic leaders against Jews. To the average Muslim, routinely cursing Jews in mosques feels normal and even holy!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After a lot of thinking, analysis, research, and writing, I discovered that Jew hatred in Islam is an essential foundation to the Islamic belief system that Muslims cannot seem to be able to rid themselves of. Jew-hatred masks an existential problem in Islam. Islam is terrified of the Jews, and the number-one enemy of Islam is the truth, which must be constantly covered at any cost. It does not matter how many Muslim men, women, and children die in the process of saving Islam's reputation. The number-one duty of Muslims is to protect the reputation of Islam and Mohammad. But why would a religion burden its followers like that? This is why:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When Mohammed embarked on his mission to spread Islam, his objective was to create a uniquely Arabian religion, one created by an Arab prophet, which reflected the Arabian values and culture. Yet to obtain legitimacy, he had to link it to the two previous Abrahamic religions, Judaism and Christianity. He expected the Jewish tribes who lived in Arabia to declare him their Messiah and thereby bring him more legitimacy with Arabs, especially with his own tribe in Mecca, the Quraish. Because his own tribe had rejected and ridiculed him, Mohammed needed the approval of the Jews, whom he called the people of the book. But the conversion of Jews to Islam was part of the scenario that Mohammed had to accomplish in order to prove to Meccans that they had made a mistake by rejecting him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That was one of the reasons Mohammed chose to migrate to Medina, a town that had predominantly been settled by Jewish tribes and a few impoverished Arabs who lived around the Jews. The Jews allowed Mohammed to move in. At the beginning, the Koran of Mecca was full of appeals to the Jews, who were then described as "guidance and light" (5:44) and a "righteous" people (6:153-154), who "excelled the nations" (45:16). But when the Jews rejected the appeasement and refused to convert to Islam, Mohammed simply and completely flipped. The Quran changed from love to threats and then pure hatred, cursing, and commandments to kill Jews. Rejection by the Jews became an intolerable obsession with Mohammed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not only did the Jews reject him, but their prosperity made Mohammed extremely envious. The Jewish Arabian tribes earned their living from legitimate and successful business, but Mohammed earned his living and wealth through warfare -- by attacking Arab tribes, some of whom were from his own tribe -- and trade caravans, seizing their wealth and property. That did not look good for a man who claimed to be a prophet of God. The mere existence of the Jews made Mohammed look bad, which led Mohammed to unspeakable slaughter, beheading of 600 to 900 Jewish men of one tribe, and taking their women and children as slaves. Mohammed had the first pick of the prettiest woman as his sex slave. All of this senseless slaughter of the Jews was elaborately documented in Islamic books on the life of Mohammed -- not as something to be ashamed of, but as justified behavior against evil people.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One does not have to be psychiatrist to see the obvious: that Mohammad was a tormented man after the massacre he orchestrated and forced his fighters to undertake to empower and to enrich himself and his religion. To reduce his torment, he needed everyone around him, as well as future generations, to participate in the genocide against the Jews, the only people whom he<b> </b>could not control. An enormous number of verses in the Koran encouraged Mohammed's fighters to fight, kill, and curse Muslim fighters who wanted to escape fighting and killing Jews. The Quran is full of promises of all kinds of pleasure in heaven to those who followed Mohammed's killing spree and curses and condemnation to those who chose to escape from fighting. Muslims were encouraged to feel no hesitation or guilt for the genocide because it was not they who did it, but rather "Allah's hand."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mohammed never got over his anger, humiliation, and rejection by "the people of the book" and went to his grave tormented and obsessed that some Jews were still alive. On his deathbed, Mohammed entrusted Muslims to kill Jews wherever they found them, which made this a "holy commandment" that no Muslim can reject. Muslims who wrote sharia understood how Mohammed was extremely sensitive to criticism, and that is why criticizing Mohammed became the highest crime in Islam that will never be forgiven even if the offender repents. Mohammed's message on his deathbed was not for his followers to strive for holiness, peace, goodness, and to treat their neighbors as themselves, but rather a commandment for Muslims to continue the killing and the genocide against the Jews. Killing thus became a holy act of obedience to Mohammed and Allah himself.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mohammed portrayed himself as a victim of Jews, and Muslims must avenge him until judgment day. With all Arab power, money, and influence around the world today, they still thrive at portraying themselves as victims. Sharia also codified into law the duty of every Muslim to defend Mohammed's honor and Islam with his own blood and allowed the violation of many commandments if it is for the benefit of defending Islam and Mohammed. Thus, Muslims are carrying a huge burden, a holy burden, to defend Mohammed with their blood, and in doing so they are allowed to kill, lie, cheat, slander, and mislead.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mohammed must have felt deep and extreme shame after what he had done to the Jews, and thus a very good reason had to be found to explain away his genocide. By commanding Muslims to continue the genocide for him, even after his death, Mohammad expanded the shame to cover all Muslims and Islam itself. All Muslims were commanded to follow Mohammed's example and chase the Jews wherever they went. One hundred years after Mohammed's death, Arabs occupied Jerusalem and built Al Aqsa mosque right on top of the Jewish Temple ruins, the holiest spot of the Jews. Muslims thought they had erased all memory of Jewish existence.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mohammed's genocide of the Jews of Arabia became an unholy dark mark of shame in Islamic history, and that shame, envy, and anger continue to get the best of Muslims today. In the eyes of Mohammed and Muslims, the mere existence of the Jewish people, let alone an entire Jewish state, delegitimizes Islam and makes Mohammed look more like a mass murderer than like a prophet. For Muslims to make peace with Jews and acknowledge that Jews are humans who deserve the same rights as everyone else would have a devastating effect on how Muslims view their religion, their history, and the actions of their prophet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Islam has a major existential problem. By no will of their own, the Jews found themselves in the middle of this Islamic dilemma. Islam must justify the genocide that Mohammad waged against the Jews. Mohammad and Muslims had two choices: either the Jews are evil sub-humans, apes, pigs, and enemies of Allah, a common description of Jews still heard regularly in Middle Eastern mosques today, or Mohammad was a genocidal warlord not fit to be a prophet of God -- a choice that would mean the end of Islam.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then and now, Mohammad and Muslims clearly chose the first worldview and decreed that any hint of the second must be severely punished. Jews must remain eternally evil enemies of Islam if Islam is to remain legitimate. There is no third solution to save the core of Islam from collapsing; either Mohammed was evil, or the Jews were evil. Any attempt to forgive, humanize, or live peacefully with Jews is considered treason against Islam. How can Muslims forgive the Jews and then go back to their mosques, only to read their prophet's words, telling them they must kill Jews wherever they find them? It does not add up, if someone wants to remain Muslim.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That is why the number-one enemy of Islam is, and must remain, the truth. If the truth exposes Islam's unjustified Jew-hatred, Muslims will be left with an empty shell of a religion, a religion whose prophet was a murderer, a thief, and a warlord. Without Jew-hatred, Islam would self-destruct.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1d2129; line-height: 18.4px;"><br />Every religion is about bringing peace to an individual and peace with what surrounds him or her. Religions are designed to create orderly societies. A small band of followers violate the very guidelines they are supposed to follow.<br /><br /><br />He forgot as many things about Hindus as he wrote about others. Let a Dalit marry a Brahman, let a Hindu marry a Muslim – all hell will break loose with the violence and extremism. One Dalit groom rode on the horse in a village and he was beaten up, a Dalit cannot be above ground level than others. This week (December 18, 2017) in Gujarat the dreadful treatment meted out to Dalits at Una and later at a Navratri dance festival where a Dalit was brutally murdered by a group of high caste boys for just watching the show.</span><br /><span style="color: #1d2129; line-height: 18.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1d2129; line-height: 18.4px;">Let a Dalit or a lower caste Hindu go to the regular temple and worship, not only will he get beaten but the temple will be washed 7 times.<br /><br />Dalit villages have been burnt, Dalit women have been raped and hung on trees, Dalits boys have been murdered because the did well in schools while their master's upper caste Hindus sons did not do well in exams.<br /><br />Muslim men have been lynched and harassed and killed. Atheist writers have been murdered in broad day light, Christian Nuns have been raped, and Ghar ki bahu (daughter in law) is dosed in kerosene and burnt alive for not bringing enough dowries. Girls at birth are killed, honor killings are rampant.... <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="color: #1d2129; line-height: 18.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Is Hinduism a violent religion? No, it is not, it does not teach any of the above violent acts mentioned above. Hinduism is about being truthful just as other faiths. Painting other religions badly is not Hinduism, it is Hindutva.<br /><br />A few Hindus commit that non-sense, just like a few Muslims, Christians and Jews do foul things. Hindutva is not Hinduism, Neocons are not Christianity, Islamism is not Muslims, Extremist of Zionism do not represent Jews, Buddhists in Burma do not represent Buddhism. We have to be smart and focus on bad guys and not on their religion or the nation. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

What should we do about it?<br />
<br />
My first response when I saw this was "forgive them lord, for they know not". So much hatred for Jews? Why? What is the root cause of it? what needs to be done to mitigate this hate for fellow beings? There is a way out, and I will have to read this and understand this to find a possible solution. I know for certain, hate will multiply the problem.<br />
<br />
These are our fellow humans, we have to figure out how to channel their hate and get them the freedom and peace of mind they deserve. No human has to live in hate.<br />
<br />
Help me God.<br />

The Georgia Peach Oyster Bar sits along a rural highway about 45 miles west of Atlanta. From the outside, it could pass for a single-story house if not for the neon beer signs. Inside, it looks like any other dusty saloon in the dregs of Dixie: a bar, pool tables under Bud Light lamps hanging from the ceiling, a TV mounted in the corner of the room. It’s what’s behind a single doorway leading to a backroom that makes the Georgia Peach unique.</div>

Dozens of white nationalists from various groups across the country gathered here on a Saturday night in April and spirits were high, giving the room the feel of a white supremacist theme park. In one corner, a tattoo station where shirtless men were getting inked up. In another, a guy sold T-shirts featuring swastikas and hooded Ku Klux Klansmen with the words “The Original Boys in the Hood.” Centered along a back wall was a stage with a podium, the backdrop comprised of a banner with the contact information for the National Socialist Movement (NSM), the predominant neo-Nazi group in the United States, as well as swastikas and other white nationalist imagery.</div>

A porch off the back of the building looks out over a multi-acre horse pasture, an idyllic country scene were it not for the 15-foot wooden cross and swastika that three neo-Nazis were wrapping in burlap and dousing in gasoline in preparation for the night’s festivities. Inside the bar, attendees milled about smoking cigarettes and sipping drinks in celebration of what they are calling an historic event.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
Later, after the sun had set on the Georgia Peach, approximately 75 white supremacists gathered in the horse pasture. Members of different factions of the Ku Klux Klan, in ceremonial robes and hoods, were joined by members of the NSM and several other white nationalist groups, as well as several unaffiliated individuals who are sympathetic to the white nationalist agenda. They had all flocked to Georgia that day to attend two racially fueled rallies in support of the “white pride” movement. Each person in the group was given a wooden torch before forming a circle around the cross and swastika.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
“For God! For race! For nation!” Will Quigg, the Grand Wizard of the California chapter of the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, shouted to the group of white nationalists. “Approach your symbol. Do not turn your back on the symbol.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
On Quigg’s command, the group set the two symbols ablaze. Cheers of “White Power” echoed across the field.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
It would be just another rally for racists were it not for the cross and the swastika burning side-by-side. For those unfamiliar with the white nationalist movement, both are racist emblems that seemingly go hand in hand. But for those in the movement, the union of these two symbols is the dawning of a new era of white supremacy.</div>

Neo-Nazi groups, Klan organizations and other breeds of white nationalists generally have similar beliefs: the superiority of the white race. They advocate for a white nation. Historically, some members of these groups have used violence to push their agendas. But these groups don’t get along—their differences often come down to issues as petty as what uniforms to wear—which has led to a lack of organization and little unity amongst factions. If you ask the organizers, the party at the Georgia Peach was the beginning of a new wave of the white nationalist movement. An era of cooperation, organization, and unity—a grand collaboration to push the movement forward.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
“This is making history,” NSM Commander Jeff Schoep told the group as the cross and swastika continued to burn. “We are putting together all the white organizations … There is no more time for division, whether it’s over religion, whether it’s over uniforms, whether it’s over symbols. If you’re still trying to create division and you’re trying to say you’re involved in this white power movement, there is something wrong with you.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
The previous night, Schoep presided over a meeting of the newly-formed Aryan Nationalist Alliance. Gathering at the Georgia Peach with the leaders of the other groups, Schoep and his brethren signed a document pledging support to this new umbrella organization of white supremacists. The alliance guarantees each group’s autonomy and pledges support to each organization. “Our race is our nation, and our skin is our uniform,” the agreement states. One NSM member said he hoped the organization would lead to a legal resource center for white people and even a college fund for white children.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
“This is something we haven’t seen in the United States in maybe forever, at least in decades,” Schoep told Vocativ. “So it was something that I felt needed to be done and needed to be said. So we came up with Aryan National Alliance and drafted a document and basically said this is something all the groups need to do: come together. We have about ten organizations on so far and should have a few more coming on.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
“We’ve had a major problem with [infighting] in the past,” he continued. “Groups would hate each other and sometimes it would even erupt in violence. And we put an end to it once and for all.”</div>

The official alliance of white supremacist organizations comes at a time when there is a surge in extremist organizations emerging across the country. White nationalists see a litany of significant problems that draw people to their ranks, including lax border security and President Barack Obama’s executive actions to give U.S. citizenship to millions of undocumented immigrants. Then there’s the federal government’s plan to allow Syrian refugees into the country, not to mention the removal of the Confederate battle flag from statehouses across the South after Dylann Roof, a self-made white supremacist inspired by white-pride rhetoric, allegedly killed nine people at a predominantly black church in South Carolina. Add to that the candidacy of Donald Trump, who has certainly helped fan the flames of white supremacy with his anti-immigrant rhetoric. The success of the Black Lives Matter movement threw additional fuel on the fire.</div>

“We have a black president, gay marriage is now legal in this country. There’s so many modernizing influences over the last 20 years or so,” said J. Michael Martinez, an expert on Klan history and author of “Carpetbaggers, Cavalry, and the Ku Klux Klan.” “So many Klansmen have those old South values and they’ve become increasingly marginalized. Their isolationist behavior has not been good for them for the last 20 years or so. I hate to say it, but it’s probably a good move for them to organize and do things differently than they have for the last few decades.”</div>

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights advocacy group that keeps tabs on extremist groups like the Klan and the NSM, there has been a 14 percent increase in extremist hate groups in the U.S. since last year. As Vocativ has <a href="http://www.vocativ.com/289045/hate-group-label-definition-southern-poverty-law-center/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">previously reported</a>, those numbers may be skewed. But the white nationalist movement believes that now is the time to make a big play, appealing to the masses that they believe are fed up with society’s ongoing drift from white, Euro-centric culture.</div>

“We have the potential to reach truly millions of people with our message of European culture of faith, family, and folk—and solidarity—that the Republicans could never reach,” white nationalist Matthew Heimbach, a rising star in the movement, told a crowd of about dozen or so members of a neo-Confederate group in March. “We have the potential to be able to work with so many of these millions of families to be able to then move them in our direction. Donald Trump is a gateway drug…we can then move them from civic nationalism and populism to nationalism for us—and these people are ready for our message.”</div>

When asked directly whether the white nationalist movement has an undertone of violence, the leaders will tell you no—it’s hard to recruit people from the mainstream when advocating for the death of a particular group. But when they’re standing around a burning cross, all bets are off.</div>

“Death to the ungodly!” “Death to the Jews!” “How many Jews can you fit in a Volkswagen? However many you can fit in the ashtray!”</div>

One-on-one, however, members of the groups sing a more moderate tune.</div>

“We’re a political movement, we’re not a hatred movement,” one NSM member said, explaining that white nationalists don’t seek out violence, but will defend themselves vigorously if violence finds them.</div>

Without any sort of organization, recruitment has been an ongoing struggle for the white nationalist movement. That, too, is changing, according to leaders within the movement.</div>

“We’re using social networking. We still use the old-school leaflets. We have NSM records,” said the NSM’s Schoep. “We’ve got the music. We’ve produced video games … There’s so many things that we do to outreach … We try to be all-encompassing.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
The NSM has an active Twitter account and also produces National Socialist podcasts used to recruit new members. Facebook, however, deletes all of the NSM’s accounts, the leaders said, so they’ve abandoned a Zuckerberg-approved recruitment strategy. Face-to-face meetings, said Schoep, is still the organization’s bread-and-butter.</div>

One of the unaffiliated white nationalists present at the Georgia Peach was a 36-year-old man who declined to give his name. He was wearing a Donald Trump campaign T-shirt that said “Lyin Ted,” referring to Trump’s nickname for Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Trump’s top opponent in the GOP primary for president. He said he drove to Georgia from South Carolina to attend a white nationalist rally at Stone Mountain, a site sacred to the KKK that is often referred to as the “Confederate Mt. Rushmore,” due to the relief of Confederate heroes Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Jefferson Davis carved in the side of the mountain.</div>

This man said he’d never been a part of any particular white nationalist group, but that he’d seen some of the literature online and decided to make the trek to Stone Mountain to show his support for movement. While he was there, he met other white nationalists who invited him to the after-party at the Georgia Peach, about an hour away from the Stone Mountain rally. He made the drive alone in his two-door Saturn, but was embraced by the robed Klansmen once he arrived. By the end of the night, despite having never participated in a white nationalist event before, he was standing in a circle with a torch in his hand, eagerly waiting to light the cross on fire.</div>

Not everyone is convinced that unifying individual groups of white nationalists will be successful, or is even in the best interest of the movement. According to Klan expert Martinez, the lack of a centralized organization traditionally has been “both the strength and the weakness—they were everywhere and they were nowhere. It was all so shadowy and behind the scenes.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
Mark Pitcavage is a senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, a civil rights advocacy group similar to the Southern Poverty Law Center. He scoffs at the white nationalists’ confidence in the success of their new alliance.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
“Bless their hearts,” he told Vocativ. “I’m sure they’re cross-half-burned sort of people. They’re probably also ignorant of how these things have gone in the past.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
According to Pitcavage, this is hardly the historic moment the white nationalists are making it out to be. “This is something that white supremacists try every now and then. There have been Klan umbrella groups and other generic umbrella groups. They last for a couple of years. It doesn’t really help them do anything that they weren’t already doing.” Regardless, he said, these types of groups are still very dangerous.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
The threat from groups like the Ku Klux Klan and the NSM isn’t from the organizations themselves, but from individual members inside the groups and those who are susceptible to white nationalist propaganda—people like Dylann Roof who buy into the rhetoric and take action into their own hands.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
“They’re not doing crime at the behest of the group,” said Pitcavage. “The dangerous ones are individuals doing an act. They’ve been radicalized by the group but then go off and do their own thing. The criminal activity comes from the movement, not the groups.”</div>

Perhaps even more dangerous than groups like the Klan and the NSM are other, milder groups that help push a watered down version of the white supremacist agenda into the mainstream. Take, for instance, Matthew Heimbach, the new face of white nationalism.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
“What’s different about Matthew Heimbach is this: you have the tattooed racists who wear their hate on their sleeves,” said Marilyn Mayo, another research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, who previously spoke to Vocativ. “Then you have the intellectual, business-suit racists like Jared Taylor [a Yale-educated white nationalist] who wouldn’t be caught dead with a white power tattoo. Heimbach is somewhere in between. He’s the youthful leader… He’s the bridge between hardcore racists and the intellectuals.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 400; line-height: 28px; margin: 26px 0px 25px;">
Each of the white nationalist leaders with whom Vocativ spoke agreed that Heimbach is someone they’d like to see join the Aryan Nationalist Alliance, but there are no plans to change their agenda to fall more inline with mainstream beliefs. Said NSM Commander Schoep, “Our founder, Commander [George Lincoln] Rockwell, he said, ‘you know, they’re gonna call us Nazis anyway. So by god, we’ll give them Nazis.’”</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are the sources of hatred, prejudice and bias. I believe in free speech to absoluteness, but the liberal media needs to counter this - to maintain a balance in the society. The question is how many listen to Rush and for what? I tune in once a while to listen to stupidity... how many people hear to believe? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Republicans often talk about the media's "liberal bias" when many of their claims aren't validated. Ever since Sarah Palin was thrust into the spotlight in 2008, cries of "lame stream media" have been heard echoing through the ear drums of registered voters. Whether it's NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC or any other "main stream" news outlet, the right-wing are often quick to attack, claiming bias against conservatives and the Republican agenda.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While one major news channel, <a href="http://tv.msnbc.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3e72a7; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">MSNBC</a>, promotes a more progressive message during their prime time line-up, they promote themselves as liberal, tagging themselves with the slogan "lean forward." Other news channels, such as CNN, have actually taken steps to the right of the political spectrum in an attempt to capitalize on <a class="inline_link" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/fox-news" style="color: #3e72a7;">Fox News</a>' ratings success.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Despite claims of <a class="inline_link" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/media-bias" style="color: #3e72a7;">media bias</a>, the number one rated news channel is Fox News, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_Channel_controversies" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3e72a7; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">loudest voice for conservatism</a> in the country. Even outside television, conservative media is often easily found. The overwhelming majority of talk radio is dominated by right-wing voices. Earlier this year, "Talkers" magazine<a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/03/limbaugh-hannity-lead-talkers-top-159206.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3e72a7; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">released their annual "Heavy Hundred" list</a> of the 100 most important radio show hosts in the country. Out of the top ten, only three would be described as "liberal" or "progressive," with the remaining being far right conservatives or libertarian. The rest of the list is similar to the top 10 as conservative talk shows heavily outnumber their liberal counter parts.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The internet is also a viable place to promote your political agenda. Conservative blogs and websites have popped up at a record number over the last few years and don't look to be slowing down any time soon.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While there are liberal talk shows and blogs, the conservative claim that the entire media has a bias favoring liberals is just false. The list below is simply a counter to that claim and, in no particular order, is a list of 50 of the worst places you could go to get your news and information.</span></div>

<br />
By Rabbi Bruce WarshalFlorida Jewish Journal<br />
11:54 a.m. EST, January 24, 2012<br />
The conservative Center for Security Policy recently issued a warning that Sharia law was being implemented in American courts. Its spokesperson said that Islamic religious demands are arriving mostly through rulings involving cases where foreigners are the principals and he commented that "Sharia enters U.S. courts through the practice of comity to foreign law."<br />
<br />
I shall discuss comity in a moment, but first let me share with you the reaction to this assertion regarding Sharia law. The wonder of the Internet is that it allows reader reaction. There were 237 postings the day that I received this email. Here are some examples: any judge within the United States who invokes the use of any foreign laws should be locked up for treason; wake the hell up America; not only is Sharia not the law of the United States of America, it is the law of the Devil and against the law of God; and my favorite, sent in capital letters — ELIMINATE ALL MUSLIMS THAT ARE FORCING ISLAMIC LAWS AND THEIR DEATH CULT RELIGION.<br />
<br />
This hysteria is fueled by conservative politicians. Newt Gingrichhas called for a federal law outlawing Sharia law, declaring, "Sharia law is a moral threat to the survival of freedom in the United States and in the world as we know it." Such a law has been proposed in the House of Representatives (H.R. 973). The Tennessee General Assembly recently passed a law that states that Sharia promotes "the destruction of the national existence of the United States." More than a dozen other states are considering a similar law.<br />
<br />
Now it's time to discuss the concept of comity to foreign law. The United States has no bilateral treaty, nor is it a signatory to any international convention that requires our courts to recognize or enforce foreign judgments or laws. However, an American court can enforce a foreign judgment if it feels that it is compatible with American standards of fairness and procedural legitimacy. An example: An Israeli couple living in America can enforce a divorce decree from a religious court in Israel based on Jewish law or aSaudi couple can enforce a divorce decree from a religious court in Saudi Arabia based on Sharia law — if, and this is a most important if, the court decides that either divorce decree is reasonable based on American legal standards.<br />
<br />
Another way that Sharia law legitimately can be implemented in American courts is through the use of arbitration. Arbitration is often used in business disputes to avoid expensive and time-consuming court litigation. Both parties agree to be bound by the arbitrator's decision and such decisions can be enforced by a court of law. Two Muslims can decide to use a court that applies Sharia business standards and its decision would be enforceable under the American legal system. There is nothing sinister here. It's their business dispute and it's their American right to decide it as they wish.<br />
<br />
I am compelled to share with you a piece written on the blog TPM (Talking Points Memo) by Josh Marshall: "In our investigation into the growth of Sharia Law in the USA we came across some surprising findings. Numerous American cities now have one or more Muslim religious courts in operation where believers go to adjudicate family law disputes, real estate transactions and various other matters according to Sharia law by binding arbitration. These religious court verdicts can then be enforced by civilian American courts. Various states have also passed laws to codify Muslim dietary laws, though a few of these laws have been struck down. And numerous national corporations now process foods to suit Muslim dietary standards. Finally, one jurisdiction in New York has been settled entirely by devout Muslims: no candidates run for office except those approved by the local imam; road signs in the town are all printed in both English and Arabic; and various local practices have been brought into line with Sharia.<br />
<br />
"Actually, there's one detail I didn't mention. The law here isn't Sharia; it's Halakhah, Jewish religious law. And all of the above are true if you change 'Muslim' to 'Jewish' and 'Arabic' to 'Hebrew.' (Actually, Yiddish written in the Hebrew script, to be specific.)"<br />
<br />
Marshall then comments: "All true. And yet I think it's a pretty good example of the fact that the kinds of things (with Muslims) that are supposed to make us run around with our hair on fire, are already happening and have been for decades with Jews and no one seems to care because, frankly, why should they?"<br />
<br />
The American Muslim community is predominantly middle class, eschews terrorism and votes Democratic. (Maybe that's the reason the Republican conservatives target it) A recent poll by the highly respected Pew Research Center shows that Muslims exhibit the highest level of integration among major American religious groups, expressing greater degrees of tolerance toward people of other faiths than do Protestants, Catholics or Jews. It also indicated that nearly 80 percent of American Muslims rate their communities a good place to live, despite the existence of anti-Islamic rhetoric. This highlights the absurdity of anti-Sharia law agitation.<br />
<br />
Not only do we do an injustice to American Muslims, but we do harm to America. The Yale historian Eliyahu Stern has written: "In the 20th century we thrived by promoting a Judaic-Christian ethic, respecting differences and accentuating commonalities among Jews, Catholics and Protestants. Today, we need an Abrahamic ethic that welcomes Islam into the religious tapestry of American life. Anti-Sharia legislation fosters a hostile environment that will stymie the growth of America's tolerant strand of Islam. The continuation of America's pluralistic religious tradition depends on the ability to distinguish between punishing groups that support terror and blaming terrorist activities on a faith that represents roughly a quarter of the world's population."<br />
<br />
In less academic and more visceral terms this sentiment was expressed by a local Muslim, as reported by theSun Sentinel, in response to Congressman Alan West's attack on Islam: "It's sleazy politics to whip up fear of Muslims. It's a dirty, sleazy tactic to attack a religion."<br />
<br />
Since I am writing in a Jewish newspaper, I cannot conclude without mentioning a recent study by the Center for American Progress which shows that seven foundations have spent more than $40 million in the last 10 years to spread misinformation about Muslim Americans. The Forward editorially commented, "And who leads those efforts? Far too many Jews." It goes on to name Pamela Geller, David Yerushalmi, Daniel Pipes and Steven Emerson, who even criticized President George W. Bush and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for being soft on Muslims.<br />
<br />
Neocon Jews, a small percentage of our community, bring disgrace upon our liberal Jewish traditions, and they do so under the misguided belief that by denigrating Islam they somehow support Israel. And yet these people are invited to speak in synagogues (primarily Orthodox) and at Jewish Federation functions and are accorded respect. They should be labeled what they actually are: Hate mongers. There is no place in Judaism for that.<br />

Most likely all the fascists have given these speeches to gain support to "dictate" other people. If you have speeches of Hitler, Mussolini and their likes, please share. I have no idea when this speech was given, but it has begun circulating from January 1, 2012</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">There is no doubt about the existence of hate mongers among Muslims, they are as many in numbers as this dude Geert Wilder's kind are. There is a big list of Geert Wilders in America alone, whose business is to frighten the gullible and cash on the fear, the list is on this site </span><a href="http://hatesermons.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">http://hatesermons.blogspot.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"> and we can add more names if you have. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">What is needed is to find solutions. If you read the following speech as a third party, you can find solutions to build cohesive societies by learning to know each other, having a dialogue and not threats and scheming. You cannot find solutions if your business is blaming. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Dear friends,<br />
Thank you very much for inviting me.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">The Europe you know is changing.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel .. I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live. San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France .. One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey ..</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators 'settlers'. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel . First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz; second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines , Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan , Lebanon , and Aceh in Indonesia .. Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">The war against Israel is not a war against Israel . It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel , Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel , they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"> In my country, the Netherlands , 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem ....</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"><br />

Illustration by Bri Hermanson</div></div></div></div></div><div class="fieldlayout node-field-content">The apparent <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2011/summer/jihad-against-islam">recent surge in popular anti-Muslim sentiment</a> in the United States has been driven by a surprisingly small and, for the most part, closely knit cadre of activists. Their influence extends far beyond their limited numbers, in part because of an amenable legion of right-wing media personalities — and lately, politicians like U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), who held <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2011/03/11/the-screaming-hypocrisy-of-peter-king/">controversial hearings into the radicalization of American Muslims</a> this March —who are eager to promote them as impartial experts or grassroots leaders. Yet a close look at their rhetoric reveals how doggedly this group works to provoke and guide populist anger over what is seen as the threat posed by the 0.6% of Americans who are Muslim — an agenda that goes beyond reasonable concern about terrorism into the realm of demonization.<br />
Of the 10 people profiled below, all but Bill French, Terry Jones and Debbie Schlussel regularly interact with others on the list. Most were selected for profiling primarily because of their association with activist organizations. People who only run websites or do commentary were omitted, with two exceptions: Schlussel, because she has influence as a frequent television talk-show guest, and John Joseph Jay, because he is on the board of Pamela Geller's Stop Islamization of America group. Three other activists, Steve Emerson, Daniel Pipes and Frank Gaffney, have interacted with many of the core group as well and also have offended many Muslims, but they are somewhat more moderate in their views of Muslims than those who are profiled below.<br />

Bill French</div><br />
<strong>BILL FRENCH<br />
ORGANIZATION</strong> Heads the for-profit Center for the Study of Political Islam in Nashville.<br />
<strong>CREDENTIALS </strong>Former Tennessee State University physics professor; author of <em>Sharia Law for Non-Muslims</em> (2010; under the pen name Bill Warner).<br />
<strong>SUMMARY</strong> French has no formal training or background in law, Islam or Shariah law — which in any case is not an established legal code, as the book title implies, but a fluid concept subject to a wide range of interpretations and applications. He garnered attention recently by leading the opposition to a proposed mosque in Murfreesboro, Tenn.<br />
<strong>IN HIS OWN WORDS</strong> "The two driving forces of our civilization are the Golden Rule and critical thought. … There is no Golden Rule in Islam. ... There is not really even a Ten Commandments."<br />
—Quoted in <em>The </em>[Blount County, Tenn.] <em>Daily Times</em>, March 4, 2011<br />
"This offends Allah. You offend Allah."<br />
— Quoted in <em>The Tennesseean</em>, Oct. 24, 2010, speaking to opponents of the Murfreesboro mosque while pointing to an American flag<br />

<strong>BRIGITTE GABRIEL </strong><br />
<strong>ORGANIZATIONS</strong> Founder and head of ACT! for America and American Council for Truth.<br />
<strong>CREDENTIALS</strong> Author of <em>Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America</em> (2006) and <em>They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It </em>(2008). Co-producer and co-host of weekly ACT! for America television show.<br />
<strong>SUMMARY</strong> Gabriel views Islam in absolute terms as a monolithic threat to the United States, Israel and the West. She is prone to sweeping generalizations and exaggerations as she describes a grand, sophisticated Muslim conspiracy bent on world domination. Of the people profiled here, she alone has focused on building a grassroots organization, claiming 155,000 members and 500 chapters around the country. Questions persist about the accuracy of her autobiographical account of being a victim of Muslim militancy in Lebanon.<br />
<strong>IN HER OWN WORDS</strong> "America has been infiltrated on all levels by radicals who wish to harm America. They have infiltrated us at the C.I.A., at the F.B.I., at the Pentagon, at the State Department."<br />
— Quoted in <em>The New York Times</em>, March 7, 2011<br />
"The difference, my friends, between Israel and the Arabic world is quite simply the difference between civilization and barbarism. It's the difference between good and evil and this is what we're witnessing in the Arab and Islamic world. I am angry. They have no soul! They are dead set on killing and destruction."<br />
— From a speech delivered to the Rev. John Hagee's Christians United for Israel Convention, July 2007<br />
"Tens of thousands of Islamic militants now reside in America, operating in sleeper cells, attending our colleges and universities, even infiltrating our government. They are here — today. Many have been here for years. Waiting. Preparing."<br />

P. David Gaubatz</div><br />
<strong>P. DAVID GAUBATZ</strong><br />
<strong>ORGANIZATION </strong>Society of Americans for National Existence (SANE).<br />
<strong>CREDENTIALS</strong> Co-author of <em>Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America</em> (2009). As director of operations for SANE's Mapping Shariah project (see David Yerushalmi, below), a privately operated effort to infiltrate American mosques in an attempt to expose radical elements, Gaubatz was paid $148,898, according to Sheila Musaji of The American Muslim website.<br />
<strong>SUMMARY</strong> A civilian agent who worked in the Middle East for the U.S. Air Forces Office of Special Investigations, Gaubatz made it a personal project — and the theme of his book — to prove the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is linked to international terrorism. In October 2009, four members of Congress led by Sue Myrick (R-N.C.) held an embarrassing press conference claiming the book revealed a Muslim plot to infiltrate government. Their hardest "evidence" was a document showing that CAIR had encouraged young Muslims to become Capitol interns — much like many other Washington, D.C., interest groups.<br />
<strong>IN HIS OWN WORDS</strong> "As an ideology [Islam] is a terminal disease that once spread is hard to destroy. Once the ideology (cancer) takes hold it is like trying to remove millions of cancerous cells in one's body. Not impossible to remove, but very, very unlikely."<br />
— Essay on the Northeast Intelligence Network website, June 10, 2008<br />
"[T]he political ideology of winning over the West and the world for an Islamic Caliphate is NOT specific to some extremist group of Muslims. This is mainstream Islam and Shari'a. … The goal remains the same: all of the non-Islamic world, and indeed all of the Islamic world, must submit to Shari'a. A Muslim who refuses to do so will be killed. … A non-Muslim, assuming he is not a pagan (typically a Christian or Jew) might be given the opportunity to live in a subservient status in an Islamic society and pay a special head tax to prove his submission. But this option is left to the Caliph or ruler at the time."<br />

Pamela Geller</div><br />
<strong>PAMELA GELLER </strong><br />
<strong>ORGANIZATIONS</strong> Executive director and co-founder (with Robert Spencer; see below) of Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) and the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), an umbrella group encompassing SIOA. Both are <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map#s=NY">listed as hate groups</a> by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Runs the Atlas Shrugs blog.<br />
<strong>CREDENTIALS</strong> Self-styled expert on Islam with no formal training in the field. Co-produced with Spencer the film "<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2011/02/15/pamela-gellers-new-film-the-next-wave-of-anti-muslim-propaganda/">The Ground Zero Mosque: Second Wave of the 9/11 Attacks</a>," which was first screened at the 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference. Co-author with Spencer of <em>The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America</em> (2010).<br />
<strong>SUMMARY</strong> Geller has seized the role of the anti-Muslim movement's <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/profiles/pamela-geller">most visible and influential figurehead</a>. Her strengths are panache and vivid rhetorical flourishes — not to mention stunts like posing for an anti-Muslim video in a bikini — but she also can be coarse in her broad-brush denunciations of Islam. Geller does not pretend to be learned in Islamic studies, leaving the argumentative heavy lifting to SIOA partner Spencer. She is prone to <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2011/05/05/muslim-basher-pamela-geller-pushes-another-obama-fairy-tale-proudly/">publicizing preposterous claims</a>, such as President Obama being the "love child" of Malcolm X, and once suggested that recent U.S. Supreme Court appointee Elena Kagen, who is Jewish, supports Nazi ideology. Geller has mingled with European racists and fascists, spoken favorably of South African racists and defended Serbian war criminal Slobodan Milosevic. She is a self-avowed Zionist who is sharply critical of Jewish liberals.<br />
<strong>IN HER OWN WORDS</strong> "Islam is not a race. This is an ideology. This is an extreme ideology, the most radical and extreme ideology on the face of the earth."<br />
— On Fox Business' "Follow the Money," March 10, 2011<br />
"No, no, they can't. … I don't think that many westernized Muslims know when they pray five times a day that they're cursing Christians and Jews five times a day. … I believe in the idea of a moderate Muslim. I do not believe in the idea of a moderate Islam. I think a moderate Muslim is a secular Muslim."<br />
— Quoted in <em>The New York Times</em>, responding to a question as to whether devout practicing Muslims can be political moderates, Oct. 8, 2010<br />
"In the war between the civilized man and the savage, you side with the civilized man. … If you don't lay down and die for Islamic supremacism, then you're a racist anti-Muslim Islamophobic bigot. That's what we're really talking about."<br />
— Quoted in <em>The New York Times</em>, Oct. 8, 2010<br />

David Horowitz</div><br />
<strong>DAVID HOROWITZ </strong><br />
<strong>ORGANIZATION</strong> Front Page Magazine (online), published by the David Horowitz Freedom Center.<br />
<strong>CREDENTIALS</strong> Organized "Islamofascism Awareness Week" which brought prominent anti-Muslim activists to college campuses in 2007. Author of several books including <em>Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left</em> (2004), which claims that American leftists support Islamic terrorists.<br />
<strong>SUMMARY</strong> Horowitz, who spent his young years as a Marxist, has in recent years become a furious far-right antagonist of liberals and leftists. He also provides some funding support for other anti-Muslim ventures, including, according to the blog SpencerWatch.com, paying Spencer $132,537 to run the JihadWatch website. Horowitz sees no philosophical gradations; if you're not in total agreement with his view of Islam, you're in favor of Muslim hegemony. He believes the Muslim Brotherhood and "Islamofascists" control most American Muslim organizations, especially Muslim student groups on college campuses.<br />
<strong>IN HIS OWN WORDS</strong> "I spent 25 years in the American Left, whose agendas are definitely to destroy this country. The American left wanted us to lose the Cold War with the Soviets and it wants us to lose the war on terror. So I don't make any apologies for that."<br />
— On the "Riz Khan" Show, Al Jazeera, Aug. 21, 2008<br />
"Some polls estimate that 10 percent of Muslims support Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. An al-Jazeera poll put the number at 50 percent. In other words, somewhere between 150 million and 750 million Muslims support a holy war against Christians, Jews, and other Muslims who don't happen to be true believers in the Quran according to <br />
bin Laden."<br />
— In the <em>Columbia Spectator</em>, Oct. 15, 2007<br />
"There are 150 Muslim Student Associations on American campuses. The Muslim Student Associations were created by Hamas and funded by Saudi Arabia. … [The associations] are Wahhabi Islamicists, and they basically support our enemies."<br />

<strong>JOHN JOSEPH JAY</strong><br />
<strong>ORGANIZATION</strong> summer patriot, winter soldier (a website; Jay doesn't use capital letters in his website's name or in his writings). Board member, SIOA. Listed as one of the founders of American Freedom Defense Initiative, SIOA's umbrella group (see also Pam Geller, above).<br />
<strong>CREDENTIALS</strong> Jay worked for 25 years as a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney in Washington, D.C. Geller's Atlas Shrugs blog describes him as a constitutional scholar. In addition to <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2010/08/10/prime-islam-basher-pam-geller-outdone-by-colleague/">his anti-Muslim commentary</a>, Jay blogs prolifically on the right to bear arms.<br />
<strong>SUMMARY </strong>Jay is remarkable for his unreconstructed hatred of all Muslims. He believes attacks by Muslim terrorists justify any violence directed at any Muslim, adding that, as he sees it, the Koran itself justifies such blind retaliation.<br />
<strong>IN HIS OWN WORDS</strong> "every person in islam, from man to woman to child may be our executioner. … there are no innocents in islam. … there is no innocence in islam. all of islam is at war with us, and … all of islam is/are combatant[s.] … islam has established without intellectual doubt that there are no innocent muslims, that the myth of the ‘moderate muslim' is precisely that, and that muslims are no more entitled to exemption or protection from retaliation that [sic] any of the other ‘non-innocent' combatants in the world. … there are no innocent muslims. islam is subject to killing on grounds of political expediency on the same basis as islam kills its victims, and islam cannot ethically and morally claim otherwise."<br />
— From his website, July 14, 2010<br />
"in short, dear muslims, g_d in his infinite wisdom saw in advance this struggle between men and religions to win his favor, and the only thing that is foreordained, is that the strong and the resolute shall win his favor, and so far, it has been amply demonstrated that he has chosen the jews as his people, and favored christianity with science, technology, culture and military power. to islam, he has given the hind and dry tit, and the sewers and the deserts of the world in which to inhabit, and in which to fester."<br />

<strong>ORGANIZATION</strong> Dove World Outreach Center of Gainesville, Fla. Listed by the SPLC as a <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map#s=FL">hate group</a>.<br />
<strong>CREDENTIALS</strong> Pastor of Dove World; instigator of "<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2010/07/22/coming-soon-international-burn-a-koran-day/">International Burn a Koran Day</a>," which was slated for Sept. 11, 2010, but canceled after worldwide protests and calls from senior officials of the Obama Administration. On March 20, however, Jones did burn a Koran, leading to <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2011/04/01/enraged-by-florida-pastor-afghan-crowds-kill-foreigners/">several days of rampages</a> in early April by religious rioters in Afghanistan, including the storming of a United Nations compound, that resulted in the deaths of at least 20 people. Jones showed no remorse over the deaths, which included at least seven foreigners. Author of <em>Islam is of the Devil </em>(2010). Jones has admitted never having read the Koran. He has no academic or theological degree; his "doctorate" is honorary.<br />
<strong>SUMMARY</strong> A true fanatical extremist who seems to be driven mostly by the need for self-promotion and publicity. Operates entirely outside of the core circle of anti-Muslim activists. Jones is also <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2010/winter/the-hard-liners">virulently anti-gay</a>.<br />
<strong>IN HIS OWN WORDS</strong> "Here's your opportunity, all you so-called peaceful Moslems [Jones' pronunciation]. … We are accusing the Koran of murder, rape, deception, being responsible for terrorist activities all around the world. … Present to us your defense attorney who is going to defend the Koran. Let us really see. We challenge you: do it. Let us not talk. Let us have some action and proof. … The Koran, if found guilty, can be burned … Or the Koran will be drowned. Or the Koran will be shredded into little bitty pieces … or the Koran will face a firing squad."<br />

<strong>DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL</strong><br />
<strong>ORGANIZATION</strong> Columnist; eponymous website.<br />
<strong>CREDENTIALS</strong> The granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, Schlussel is a Detroit-based attorney and MBA. Frequent guest on conservative talk shows.<br />
<strong>SUMMARY</strong> Uncompromising, viciously anti-Muslim commentator who dismisses ostensible allies if they are willing to believe in the concept of moderate Islam. She has even berated Hollywood for its failure to depict Muslims as sufficiently villainous. She has referred to Muslims as "animals." Her intense animosity toward Muslims appears rooted in strong pro-Israel sentiments.<br />
<strong>IN HER OWN WORDS</strong> "So sad, too bad, Lara. No one told her to go there. She knew the risks. And she should have known what Islam is all about. Now she knows. Or so we'd hope. … How fitting that Lara Logan was ‘liberated' by Muslims in Liberation Square while she was gushing over the other part of the ‘liberation.' Hope you're enjoying the revolution, Lara! Alhamdillullah (praise allah) [sic]."<br />
— From her website, following the gang sexual assault on CBS Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Lara Logan in Cairo, Feb. 15, 2011<br />
"[T]he fact is that the majority of Muslims support terrorism. The vast majority. Not just a few hijackers and a few suicide bombers. But the MAJORITY. This isn't me saying it. It's Muslims saying it. And not just in poll after poll of Muslims around the world including in America. Go to the streets of ‘moderate Muslim' Dearbornistan [Dearborn, Mich.] and see how many Muslims dare condemn Hezbollah and HAMAS. It's like playing "Where's Waldo?"<br />

Robert Spencer</div><br />
<strong>ROBERT SPENCER</strong><br />
<strong>ORGANIZATION</strong> Runs the Jihad Watch website, a project of the David Horowitz Freedom Center. Co-founder with Pamela Geller (see above) of Stop Islamization of America and the American Freedom Defense Initiative.<br />
<strong>CREDENTIALS</strong> Spencer has a master's degree in religious studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Co-produced with Geller the film "<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2011/02/15/pamela-gellers-new-film-the-next-wave-of-anti-muslim-propaganda/">The Ground Zero Mosque: Second Wave of the 9/11 Attacks</a>" (2011). Author of numerous books including <em>The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion</em> (2007) and <em>The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)</em> (2005).<br />
<strong>SUMMARY</strong> Spencer is entirely self-taught in the study of modern Islam and the Koran. Critics have accused him of doggedly taking the Koran literally — Spencer considers it innately extremist and violent — while ignoring its nonviolent passages and the vast interpretive tradition that has modified Koranic teachings over the centuries. Spencer believes that moderate Muslims exist, but to prove it, they'd have to fully denounce the portions of the Koran he finds objectionable. Spencer has been known to fraternize with European racists and neo-fascists, though he says such contacts were merely incidental. Benazir Bhutto, the late prime minister of Pakistan, accused Spencer of "falsely constructing a divide between Islam and West" in her 2008 book, <em>Reconciliation: Islam, Democracy, and the West</em>. Spencer, she wrote, presented a "skewed, one-sided, and inflammatory story that only helps to sow the seed of civilizational conflict."<br />
<strong>IN HIS OWN WORDS</strong> "Osama [bin Laden]'s use of these and other [Koranic] passages in his messages is consistent … with traditional understanding of the Quran. When modern-day Jews and Christians read their Bibles, they simply don't interpret the passages cited as exhorting them to violent actions against unbelievers. This is due to the influence of centuries of interpretative traditions that have moved them away from literalism regarding these passages. But in Islam, there is no comparable interpretative tradition."<br />
— From <em>The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)</em>, 2005<br />
"Where is moderate Islam? How can moderate Muslims refute the radical exegesis of the Qur'an and Sunnah? If an exposition of moderate Islam does not address or answer radical exegeses, is it really of any value to quash Islamic extremism? If the answer lies in a simple rejection of Qur'anic literalism, how can non-literalists make that rejection stick, and keep their children from being recruited by jihadists by means of literalism? Of course, as I have pointed out many times, traditional Islam itself is not moderate or peaceful. It is the only major world religion with a developed doctrine and tradition of warfare against unbelievers."<br />

David Yerushalmi</div><br />
<strong>DAVID YERUSHALMI</strong><br />
<strong>ORGANIZATION</strong> President of the Society of Americans for National Existence (SANE); principal of Stop the Madrassa.<br />
<strong>CREDENTIALS </strong>General counsel for the Center for Security Policy (see Frank J. Gaffney Jr., above); also, an attorney representing SIOA. Yerushalmi drafted a proposed law filed this year in the Tennessee legislature that would subject anyone who advocates or adheres to Shariah customs to up to 15 years in prison; he drafted a similar bill in Georgia in 2008.<br />
<strong>SUMMARY</strong> Yerushalmi <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2011/06/13/study-of-radicalization-in-mosques-reflects-anti-muslim-bias-of-co-autho/">equates Shariah with Islamic radicalism</a> so totally that he advocates criminalizing virtually any personal practice compliant with Shariah. In his view, only a Muslim who fully breaks with the customs of Shariah can be considered socially tolerable. He waxes bloodthirsty when describing his preferred response to the supposed global threat of Shariah law, speaking casually of killing and destroying. Ideally, he would outlaw Islam and deport Muslims and other "non-Western, non-Christian" people to protect the United States' "national character." An ultra-orthodox Jew, he is deeply hostile toward liberal Jews. He derides U.S.-style democracy because it allows more than just an elite, privileged few to vote.<br />
<strong>IN HIS OWN WORDS</strong> "On the so-called Global War on Terrorism, GWOT, we have been quite clear along with a few other resolute souls. This should be a WAR AGAINST ISLAM and all Muslim faithful. … At a practical level, this means that Shari'a and Islamic law are immediately outlawed. Any Muslim in America who adopts historical and traditional Shari'a will be subject to deportation. Mosques which adhere to Islamic law will be shut down permanently. No self-described or practicing Muslim, irrespective of his or her declarations to the contrary, will be allowed to immigrate to this country."<br />
— A 2007 commentary entitled "War Manifesto — The War Against Islam," as reported by The American Muslim<br />
"The more carefully reviewed evidence, however, suggests that because <em>jihadism is in fact traditional Islam</em> modernized to war against the ideological threat posed by the West against Islam proper, <em>there is no way to keep faithful Muslims out of the war</em>. If this is true, any Muslim who sticks his neck out of the mosque to yell some obscenity at the West should be considered an enemy combatant and killed or captured and held for the duration of the war. If you kill enough of them consistently enough, those disinclined to fight in the first place will find a way to reform their religion."<br />

<br />
It is hard to imagine that anyone has worked harder than the <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Carrollton</place></city> resident to demonstrate the peaceful and moderate side of Islam.<br />
<br />
And that effort includes personally visiting <city w:st="on">Dallas</city>' <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">First</placename> <placename w:st="on">Baptist</placename> <placetype w:st="on">Church</placetype></place> last Sunday just to put a friendly face on the "evil, evil religion" that the Rev. Robert Jeffress denounced a few weeks before.<br />
<br />
"It was wonderful," Ghouse said of the visit. "We were so warmly received."<br />
He hopes a quick chat with Jeffress will be the start of deeper discussion about Islam and the importance of respect between religions.<br />
<br />
"I want to have a dialogue with him, not to say he is wrong but to share another point of view," Ghouse said.<br />
<br />
The 57-year-old Muslim was born in <a href="http://topics.dallasnews.com/topic/India"><span style="color: black;">India</span></a> and has lived in the <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">United States</place></country-region> for 30 years. He owns a small property management firm. But most of his day is devoted to building bridges between people of different faiths.<br />
<br />
"It is my passion," he said in his distinctive raspy voice.<br />
<br />
He has been a guest a dozen times on <a href="http://topics.dallasnews.com/topic/Sean_Hannity"><span style="color: black;">Sean Hannity's</span></a> TV and radio talk shows. "I don't like the way Sean cuts me off, but I have to honor him for giving the American public a semblance of another point of view."<br />
<br />
Ghouse said he can understand fear and criticism of Islam because he went through a time of similar feelings. As a teen, he was troubled by passages of the Quran. He called himself an atheist for a while.<br />
<br />
But he said deeper study led him to realize the Quran had been purposely mistranslated down through history.<br />
<br />
In the Middle Ages, European leaders commissioned a hostile Quran translation to foster warfare against Muslim invaders.<br />
<br />
Later, Muslim leaders produced another translation to inflame Muslims against Christians and Jews.<br />
<br />
"It was all for politics," he said.<br />
Ghouse said he hopes to present Jeffress with a modern, faithful translation and challenge him to find evil verses.<br />
<br />
"If he can, I will convert. I will join his church," Ghouse said. "If he can't, I will call on him to retract his statements and become a peacemaker."<br />
<br />
Ghouse acknowledges that deep problems persist within Islam. "Three steps forward, two steps back," he said with a sigh.<br />
<br />
And he agrees that mainstream Muslims have not done enough to counter violent images of their faith.<br />
<br />
"That is very true," he said. "But part of it is that many Muslims have given up hope that we will ever be heard."<br />
<br />
He said repeated denunciations of terrorism seem to fall on deaf ears.<br />
<br />
And some efforts have backfired - like the proposed Islamic information center in <state w:st="on"><place w:st="on">New York</place></state>. He said it should be hailed for furthering the moderate Muslim cause.<br />
Instead, it has deepened hostility toward Muslims.<br />
<br />
I have been astounded by the amount of anti-Islam propaganda that circulates via e-mail. Tons of it has come my way in the last few weeks.<br />
<br />
One theme is that people like Mike Ghouse can't be trusted, that Islam encourages deception.<br />
<br />
But Ghouse says actions speak louder than words. And he points to elections in Muslim nations.<br />
<br />
More than half of Muslims live in countries with some degree of democracy. And time and time again, Islamist parties are overwhelmingly rejected in favor of secular, mainstream parties.<br />
<br />
"The religious parties don't get more than 3 percent of the vote," Ghouse said.<br />
Polls show deep mistrust of Muslims. "But the most important question in those surveys is: 'Do you know anything about Islam?' " Ghouse said. "Most people say no."<br />
What keeps him going is faith in Americans, he said.<br />
<br />

Don't waste your time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; font-size: 13pt;">The good news is that the drivers of such hate are just a few that we can actually list, they are less than 1000th of 1%, unless we speak up they will mess up their own and every one's lives. Let's resist the temptation to be hateful towards the hate mongers, but we should work on creating an iclusive society which is good for every one.<br />
<br />
If you see the critique or condemnation of individuals, it is not about you or your religion because of your common religious affiliation with the accused, but him and rarely her, the individual. If the shoe fits you, you do not need to read this site. <br />
<br />
We hope to do our share of urging the hate mongers, to find solutions through a dialogue and not hate to understand and not wage a campaign of hate. <br />
<br />
As a Pluralist, I challenge every religious leader to do the research, not their own, but other's religious books and declare that no holy book, or God's words preaches hate, malice or ill-will towards the other. Not one book. It’s a big challenge to the people of religion. God is about love and harmony for his/her or its creation and not preference or favors to one over the other. Not one can claim that God has signed a deal with them behind other's back. <br />
<br />
This site is for reflection and not incitement, if your aptitude is not solution but anger, this site is not for you, that is not our intent.</span><br />

<br />
Chief Military Rabbi Brigadier General Avi Ronzki had distributed pamphlets to Israeli troops implicitly sanctioning the killing of civilians. <br />
<br />
"When you show mercy to a cruel enemy you are being cruel to pure and honest soldiers. These are not games at the amusement park where sportsmanship teaches one to make concessions. This is a war on murderers," the pamphlets read. <br />
<br />
Human rights group Yesh Din has said that the pamphlet borders "on incitement and racism against the Palestinian people." <br />
<br />
The group urged Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Army Chief General Gabi Ashkenazi to dismiss Ronzki. <br />
<br />
The pamphlet also quotes statements made by Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, the extremist leader of the Jewish settlers in the West Bank - who opposes any compromise with Palestinians. <br />
<br />
"The Palestinians claim they deserve a state here, when in reality there was never a Palestinian or Arab state within the borders of our country," the pamphlet quoted Aviner as saying. <br />
<br />
According to the right group, the pamphlet contains "degrading and belittling messages that border on incitement and racism against the Palestinian people. These messages can be interpreted as a call to act outside of the confines of international laws of war." <br />
<br />
Thousands of people, including women and children were killed or wounded during Israel's Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip. <br />
<br />
The Israeli Army also used banned weapons, including white phosphorous and depleted uranium, to attack targets inside the populated area. <br />

PRESS RELEASE <br />
INVITATION<br />
<br />
Contact: MikeGhouse@aol.com<br />
<br />
You are invited, details below<br />
<br />
No American has to live in anxieties, discomfort or fear of the other. The purpose of this conference is to remove such myths in an open forum and restore the cohesiveness of our society and work towards building a safe and secure America. <br />
<br />
Since our independence in 1776, we have been tested time and again by various political, economic and religious forces to divide us, however, at the end we have come out strong as one nation. The Civil War, the Great Depression, the World War, Pearl Harbor, Women’s rights, Abortion, the Vietnam War, Civil Rights, Budget Deficits, Unemployment, 9/11, the Iraq and Afghanistan War have all been difficult, but we will make it through and sanity will prevail.<br />
<br />
The controversy over the Muslim Community Center in New York has unraveled the difficulties Catholics, Jews, Mormons, Wicca and others have endured. <br />
<br />
We have come a long way to embrace and accept the otherness of other. However, this year has given rise to yet another temptation; to blame Islam, calling it an evil, evil religion and calling its prophet a false prophet. No American has to live in fear of the other, nor live in anxieties or discomfort.<br />
<br />
Religion has been “abused” and “misused” to someone’s advantage, as Americans, are we going to let that happen? No, we can pull ourselves together and not fall for the temptations to divide ourselves. <br />
<br />
If we make an effort, goodness will come to our rescue. Mike Ghouse adds, “As members of diverse family of faiths, we seek to demystify the myths, malice and falsification of our respective faiths. It is time for all of us to gather and understand the Qur’aan, the holy book of Muslims, which has been the subject of attack by a few among us. Indeed, a conference is a positive response to negative sermons delivered from a few pulpits of America this year.” <br />
<br />
The Conference puts the Quraan in the hands of panelists made up of Pastors, Rabbis, Pundits, Shamans, Clergy, lay persons, elected officers and the public. The uniqueness of the event is highlighted by facing the “terrifying passages” of Quraan. For the first time in history, the actual verses from Quraan will be read directly and explained by panelists made up of Pastors, Rabbis, Pundits, Shamans, Clergy, lay persons and elected officials who have a deep interest in bringing Americans together on common grounds. The Muslim scholars either affirm their reading or share the additional information right from the very Quraan for further understanding.<br />
It is time now to replace the ill-will with goodwill; no American has to live in anxieties, discomfort or fear of the other. The purpose of this conference is to remove such myths in an open forum in the public and restore the cohesiveness of our society and work towards building a safe and secure America. <br />

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br />
<br />
Oct 10, 2010 - <city w:st="on">DALLAS</city>, <state w:st="on">TEXAS</state> - The Foundation for Pluralism and the World Muslim Congress have announced a conference on Quraan in <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Dallas</place></city> to be held between 3:00 PM and 6 PM on Sunday, December 5, 2010 at the Unity Church of Dallas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
Representing the organizations, Mike Ghouse adds, "As members of diverse family of faiths, we seek to demystify the myths and falsification of our respective faiths. It is time for all of us to gather and understand the Qur'aan, the holy book of Muslims, which has been the subject of attack by a few among us. Indeed, the conference is a positive response to negative sermons delivered from a few pulpits of <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">America</place></country-region> this year." <br />
<br />
The uniqueness of the event is highlighted by facing the "terrifying passages" of Quraan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the first time in history, the actual verses from Quraan will be read directly and explained by non-Muslim panelists made up of Pastors, Rabbis, Pundits, Shamans, Clergy, lay persons and elected officials who have a deep interest in bringing Americans together on common grounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Muslim scholars either affirm their reading or refer to the Quraan for further understanding. It would be indeed a first hand educational experience. <br />
<br />
It is time now to replace the ill-will with goodwill; no American has to live in anxieties, discomfort or fear of the other. The purpose of this conference is to remove such myths in an open forum in the public and restore the cohesiveness of our society and work towards building a safe and secure <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">America</place></country-region>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
Bring your children to experience the multi-cultural costumes in a designated room for them. <br />
<br />
Refreshments will be served after the event. <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">From times immemorial Religion has been “abused” and “misused” to someone gain, usually for controlling others. Are we going to let that happen? As Americans, we can pull ourselves together and not fall for the temptations to divide ourselves. No American has to live in fear of the other, nor live in anxieties or discomfort. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">All our faiths reinforce the creed of "One Nation under God, with liberty and justice for all.” Details at <a href="http://www.quraanconference.com/">http://www.quraanconference.com/</a> </span><br />

I hope people wake up and support those who work for peace, which is good for all at the end. Aggravating the conflicts, entrenching hate will take you far far away from peace, but will fill the pockets of hate sellers.<br /># # #<br /><br />From: Steven Shamrak <stevenshamrak.e@gmail.com><br />Date: September 21, 2010 12:44:28 AM CDT<br />To: Mike@foundationforpluralism.com<br />Subject: The Words of Mohammad Clear! * Making a Good Living of "Balance of Power" * Resolution 194 and Fake Refugee Problem<br /><br />The Words of Allah's Apostle Clear!<br /><br />by Gaye, a subscriber of this editorial.<br /><br />Those who say that Israel (Jews) should get out of Palestine because it is not Jewish land, you are nuts! It was the Muslims who took the land from the Jewish people in the first place and there were many other nations that also forced Jews to leave their land before them.<br /><br />The Qur'an shows very clearly the pride taken by Mohammad and his merry men at killing Jewish men and chasing the Jews from their land. They were pirates on land! It is very clear from the verses of the Qur'an:<br /><br />Qur'an 33:26 - "Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many captive. And He made you inherit their lands, their homes, and their wealth. He gave you a country you had not traversed before." - This land had not belonged to Muslims!<br /><br />Qur'an 59:2 - "It was Allah who drove the People of the Book (Jews) from their homes and into exile. They refused to believe and imagined that their strongholds would protect them against Allah..."<br /><br />Islam also has warned all infidels:<br /><br />Bukhari: V5B59N516 - "When Allah's Apostle fought or raided people we raised our voices saying, 'Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.'"<br /><br />Mohammad went on 23 RAIDS himself and ordered over 70 others to rid the world of evil. Hence, his modern followers are willing to fulfill their esteemed leader's commands. Now they have suicide bombers, rockets and are attempting to build a nuclear bomb. They feel that time is right to implement this prophecy:<br /><br /><br />Qur'an 8:59 - "The infidels should not think that they can escape. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah's enemy."<br /><br /><br />Notice the words: that infidels are "Allah's enemy". Allah also said that Muslims were to kill all their enemies. This of course means endless war against all non-Muslims.<br /><br />When people start saying that Jews should leave Israel, just ask them when they are going to leave America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or any other country where people have taken over. But Jews didn't! (We took some of our land back!)<br /><br />I do not think we can convince people, who do not believe in the Torah or the Bible, that G-d promised the land to the Jews. They do not have the knowledge of God and his promises, but it is a different matter when we are dealing with the idiots and hypocrites who claim that they are acting in the name of G-d, acknowledge that Jews are indeed the "People of the Book" but simultaneously have been brazen and fierce try to destroy them. Self-protection is the only reason for little Israel to fight the billions of Muslims!<br /><br />Where are the Screaming "Humanitarians"? Hamas used phosphorus, which is banned for use against civilians, in the mortars aimed at the 12,000 civilians of the Gaza-border region on Wednesday. (Many of the so-called Humanitarians are just ugly Jew-haters!)<br /><br />Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak<br /><br />The time has come to free Gaza completely from Muslim occupation and let the Jew-hating and terror-supporting population of Gaza leave Jewish land. The pretence of a people called Palestinians, an entity invented by Arabs in late 1960's to fight against the existence of the Jewish state, must be abandoned!<br /><br />Barbaric Islamic Justice:<br /><br />1) A Saudi Arabian court has ruled that a convicted man's spinal cord should be severed so he is paralysed. This is part of the kingdom's Islamic-law-oriented retribution for similar injuries he is said to have inflicted upon another man in a fight.<br /><br />2) A Saudi court has convicted four women and 11 men for mingling at a party and sentenced them to flogging and prison terms.<br /><br />Making a Good Living, Maintaining "Balance of Power"<br /><br />1) The Obama administration is planning to sell up to $60 billion worth of advanced aircraft to Saudi Arabia, the largest-ever foreign arms sale. The package would include 84 new Boeing F-15 fighter jets and upgrades of another 70. It would also include three types of helicopters: 72 Black Hawk helicopters, 70 Apaches, and 36 Little Birds. State department spokesman Philip J Crowley stresses that Washington's priority is stability in the Middle East.<br /><br />2) The US is slated to sell Israel massive military fuel stocks worth $2 bn.<br /><br />3) Israel is expected to purchase 20 of F-35 warplanes for a total cost of $2.7 billion. The deal will be the most expensive in the IDF's history. (By raising the level of 'balance', the US arm dealers yield bigger profits! Saudi citizens were the perpetrators of 9/11 attacks - who is the evil kingdom planning to attack next?)<br /><br />How Long Must We Wait? Iran has crossed the threshold for being able to arm ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads. This news sent the NATO Secretary running to Washington, but stirred no reaction from Israel - even though Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is preparing to visit Beirut to sign up Lebanese army for Tehran's forward front to defend its nuclear facilities and tie Israel's hands.<br /><br />Schizo Talks. On Wednesday the United States said Israeli and Palestinian leaders moved toward resolving their differences over settlements but the Palestinians kept up the threat to walk out of the new peace talks. (Wishful thinking and political pretence will never work. There is a need for the will of all parties concerned to achieve peace - the 'Palestinians' have shown none!)<br /><br />Destruction of Israel is the Aim. Gaza filmmakers Mohammed al-Amrity and Ayman Hijazi have released a film, "The Great Liberation", that portrays in detail the takeover of Israel by Arab Muslims and the destruction of vital Israeli and Jewish institutions. Arabs are depicted blowing up the Hurva synagogue in Jerusalem. Other scenes show Arabs destroying the Bank of Israel and blowing up the Supreme Court. (Incitement is forbidden by previous useless agreements between the PA and Israel. Nobody cares when agreements with Jews are violated!)<br /><br />PA in Line with Tradition of Islamic Intolerance. Members of a pacifist Muslim sect say the PA is persecuting them, especially in the past year, including confiscation of property and physical violence. Head of the Ahmadis in Israel, Muhammad Sharif, told the Makor Rishon newspaper, "We believe in a tolerant, friendly and rational Islam." The Ahmadi sect was founded in 1889 in India and now numbers in the tens of millions of followers, mostly living outside the Arab world.<br /><br />Hypocrisy in Action:<br /><br />150 Irish artists pledge to boycott Israel - 9/11 attacks were perpetrated by 19 Islamic terrorists, 15 of them from Saudi Arabia. Why has nobody called for a boycott of Saudi Arabia, a well-known sponsor of international terror?<br /><br />Legalised Occupation and Genocide are Celebrated. Mexico looked beyond its drug war to throw a 200th birthday bash celebrating its self-proclaimed proud history, whimsical culture and resilience embodied in the traditional independence cry: "Viva Mexico!" (Mexico was created on the land and blood of many native Indian tribes. Just imagine what the world 'opinion' would be now if Jews had accepted offers to create a Jewish state in Tasmania or Uganda? We can't even live in peace on our own land!)<br /><br />Freedom of Speech and Expression Under Threat. A cartoonist, Molly Norris, has disappeared from public view because she is on an Islamic cleric's hit list for declaring "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" last spring. She is changing her name and essentially wiping out her identity on the advice of the FBI.<br /><br />UN Resolution 194 and Fake Refugee Problem.<br /><br />Eli E. Hertz<br /><br />Arab leaders falsely point to UN Resolution 194 as proof that Arab refugees have a "Right to return".<br /><br />Resolution 194, adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 11, 1948, addressed a host of issues, but only one paragraph out of 15 dealt with refugees created by the conflict. Resolution 194 attempted to create the tools required to reach a truce in the region. It established a conciliation commission with representatives from the United States, France and Turkey to replace the UN mediator. The commission was charged with achieving "a final settlement of all questions between... governments and authorities concerned." The Resolution's "refugee clause" was not a standalone item, as the Arabs would have us think, nor does it pertain specifically to Palestinian Arab refugees.<br /><br />Of the 15 paragraphs, the first six sections addressed ways to achieve a truce. The next four paragraphs addressed the ways that Jerusalem and surrounding villages and towns should be demilitarised, and how an international zone or jurisdiction would be created in and around Jerusalem. The resolution also called on all parties to protect and allow free access to holy places, including religious buildings.<br /><br />One paragraph has drawn the most attention: Paragraph 11, which alone addressed the issue of refugees and compensation for those whose property was lost or damaged. Contrary to Arab claims, it did not guarantee a Right of Return and certainly did not guarantee an unconditional Right of Return - that is the right of Palestinian Arab refugees to return to Israel. Nor did it specifically mention Arab refugees, thereby indicating that the resolution was aimed at all refugees, both Jewish an d Arab . Instead, Resolution 194 recommended that refugees be allowed to return to their homeland if they met two important conditions:<br /><br />1. That they be willing to live in peace with their neighbours<br /><br />2. That the return takes place "at the earliest practicable date"<br /><br />The resolution also recommended that for those who did not wish to return, "Compensation should be paid for the property... and for loss of or damage to property" by the "governments or authorities responsible."<br /><br />Although Arab leaders point to Resolution 194 as proof that Arab refugees have a right to return or be compensated, it is important to note that the Arab States: Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Yemen voted against Resolution 194. Israel is not even mentioned in the resolution. The fact that plural wording also is used - "governments or authorities" - suggests that, contrary to Arab claims, the burden of compensation does not fall solely upon one side of the conflict. Because seven Arab armies invaded I srael, Israel was not responsible for creating the refugee problem. When hundreds of thousands Jews, under threat of death, attack and other forms of persecution were forced to flee Arab communities, the State of Israel absorbed the overwhelming majority of them into the then-fledgling nation.<br /><br />Please Support this independent publication!<br /><br />PayPal (incl Visa or MC)<br /><br />Visit our website for more information.
