U.S. ARMY LTC ALLEN WEST TO HEADLINE SATURDAY NIGHT AAH RALLY AGAINST CAIR

H/T to Gramfan for sending this in. Florida residents could print a few flyers and strategically pass them out. The rally should be supported.

I seem to remember something about the good LTC in the press a while ago, he is very aware of the threat we face and was publicly attacked in the MSM for being a good leader in Iraq.

He is also a congressional candidate (he might just change my low opinion of politicians).

RALLY WILL CRITICIZE BROWARD OFFICIALS FOR THEIR EMBRACE OF CAIR
(Coral Springs, FL) On Saturday, March 1st, Americans Against Hate (AAH), in coordination with the Terror Free America Coalition, will be holding a demonstration against the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the group’s usage of a government owned facility, the Broward County Convention Center, where CAIR will be holding its annual banquet/fundraiser.

CAIR was recently named an “unindicted co-conspirator” for a Dallas terrorism trial that dealt with the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas. As well, the group was labeled by the Justice Department a front for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

The featured speaker at CAIR’s event will be Siraj Wahhaj, an “unindicted co-conspirator” of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, an act that left six innocent people dead.

AAH Chairman and founder of CAIR Watch, Joe Kaufman, questioned, “How could the local government of Broward County allow a group with numerous ties to terrorists usage of a government owned facility, especially to do fundraising in?”

Broward County has a history of support for CAIR. In 2003, the Broward County School Board produced a video that starred the Executive Director of CAIR-Florida, Altaf Ali. And in 2005, the Broward County Commission allowed CAIR use of its Main Library in Fort Lauderdale to run a six part “Islamic Culture” program.

At the rally, AAH will be criticizing Broward government officials for their embrace of CAIR.

Headlining the rally against CAIR will be United States Army Ret. Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, a modern day American hero who, while serving in both Iraq and Afghanistan, saved fellow troops’ lives.

Also speaking will be the President of the Counter Terrorism Operations Center (CTOC), Sam Kharoba. Kharoba is a software developer that trains law enforcement and intelligence personnel on issues concerning terrorism.

Rally details:

When: Saturday, March 1, 2008, 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Where: Outside the Broward County Convention Center, at the corner of 17th St. and Eisenhower Blvd.
Directions: Take I-95 to 595; head east on 595 to US1 (Federal Hwy); head north on US1 about 3 lights to SE 17th St.; make a right and head east towards the beach; end at the corner of 17th St. and Eisenhower Blvd.

UK’s New Muslim Friendly Police department

This is wrong on so many levels but a few key ones are:

Increasing police presence on the street provides more safety than sitting in a PC controlled classroom.

The cost of training all these officers could have been spent on ammunition to help them secure critical facilities or fend off rioting “youths and Asians”.

The police would serve their fellow citizens much better by studying the actual UK laws and not those of a seventh century madman.

It is not the mission of the Police department to act as neighborhood ambassadors they have one purpose-enforce the law. Not muslim law-UK law.

By JAMES SLACK, 28 February, 2008, The Daily Mail
Police will be trained on the importance of sharia law and the Koran to Muslim communities, under new plans to fight extremism.

The lessons in Islamic faith and culture will become part of the formal training of constables working in towns and cities across the country.
-Naturally they will hire large numbers of muslims to train them.
Chief constables say that, by understanding the community they are policing, officers will build better relationships.
-Horse shit, the police are not diplomats nor should they be.

These could prove crucial in rooting out extremism and preventing a terrorist attack, according to the Association of Chief Police Officers.
-Time to replace the leadership of The Association of Chief Police Officers.

But critics have described the plan as “politically correct thinking”.
-Duh!

Philip Davies, Conservative MP for Shipley, said: “Police officers are not there to implement sharia law. They are there to implement British law.

“This idea is misguided. We will only get community cohesion when everybody signs up to being British and following British law.”

Shadow Home Secretary, David Davis, said: “Of course it is sensible for the police to have an understanding of the Koran and sharia law as long as we do not allow the situation to slip so that sharia law is regarded on an equal basis with British law. British law is and always must be pre-eminent.”
-Then why waste the training time and the money on this stupid effort?

Under the Acpo plans, police will not have to learn the “depth and complexity” of sharia law, but would be expected to understand Islamic culture – which includes sharia law and the Koran.
-This is code to explain they will not cover stoning, temporary marriages, sex with children etc, etc, etc.

It is part of a wide-ranging strategy to prevent extremist ideas gaining hold in primary schools, colleges, the internet and prisons.
-It is really feel good about islam propaganda, to relax the dhimmis. Shhh no threat, back to sleep

Code Pink Protesters in Berkeley Call In the Marines!!!

In an odd twist of fate, Code Pink had to call in the Marines while protesting the Marine’s Recruitment Center in Berkeley. The following is from an Email sent to Melanie Morgan by Eamon Kelley, the young Marine who is featured in a Move America Forward TV commercial:

“While we were at the protest in Berkeley from 12 to 4 PM a white volvo drove by and a man spat upon code pink. They chased him down the street and got into a verbal altercation.

The police were NO WHERE in sight.

That’s not the best part, ready for this? Medea Benjamin yelled and I quote “Marines!” she actually yelled for our help because this man had stepped out of his car. Lol. I even asked her if she was yelling Police and she told me “I said Marines” then put her arm around my friend Allen (the Marine vet) Ironic? Ok back to the emails!! ”

Suicide Bomber Robots?

But, when they reach Paradise, do they get their 72 toasters?

Killer robots terror warning
Exterminate, exterminate
By Nick Heath
Published: Thursday 28 February 2008 – Silicon.com

Forget the cuddly C3P0 and R2D2 – the robots of the future may well share the murderous instincts of the Daleks, according to a robotics expert.

Terrorist robots and autonomous military machines wielding automatic weapons could soon be a reality, claims Professor Noel Sharkey.

The expert at the University of Sheffield – who was formerly a judge on cult BBC TV show Robot Wars – warned the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) of the beginning of an international robot arms race.

With plummeting prices of robotic components he cautioned that the killer machines could replace the suicide bomber as the terrorist weapon of choice – saying a small GPS guided drone with autopilot can be made for around £250.

Prof Sharkey said in a statement: “The trouble is that we can’t really put the genie back in the bottle. Once the new weapons are out there, they will be fairly easy to copy. How long is it going to be before the terrorists get in on the act?”

The US proposes to spend an extra $4bn by 2010 on unmanned systems, with total spending expected to rise above $24bn. More than 4,000 robots are already deployed on the ground in Iraq and by October 2006 unmanned aircraft had flown 400,000 flight hours.

Robot weapons programmes are underway in Europe and other countries such as Canada, South Korea, South Africa, Singapore and Israel.

China, Russia and India are also embarking on the development of unmanned aerial combat vehicle – with China believed to be able to match the US robotic programme.

Prof Sharkey said there was an urgent need for the international community to assess the risks of these new weapons before their use became widespread.

Norway, Sweden Arrest 6 on Suspicion of Financing Terrorist Organizations

By VOA News
28 February 2008

Swedish and Norwegian police have arrested six people on suspicion of financing terrorist organizations, in coordinated raids in Stockholm and Oslo.

Swedish police detained three suspects in Stockholm. All three men are Swedish citizens.  Norwegian authorities arrested three men in Oslo but did not release any information about them.

Norwegian news media reports say the suspects are of Somali origin.

Norway’s police intelligence agency (PST) said the agency would seek permission to hold at least one of the suspects in custody.

Last month, the agency said violence by Islamic extremists would pose a significant challenge to Norway’s security in the coming years, partly due to the country’s participation in NATO-led peacekeeping operations in Afghanistan.

Norway has about 500 soldiers in Afghanistan.

Ehud Barak: “A large Ground Offensive in Gaza is Concrete and Actual”

Get ready for the inevitable whining of Palestinian sympathizers when Israel goes in to defend herself:

Ashkelon Under Rocket Attack
 
by Hillel Fendel

(IsraelNN.com) A total of 24 people are hospitalized, mostly for shock, following the firing of more than 30 rockets and mortar shells from Gaza on Israel on Thursday.  Among them are two with shrapnel injuries.

Among the rockets and mortar shells fired from Gaza on Israel on Thursday, eight long-range Grad rockets hit the coastal city of Ashkelon.  The city’s 100,000-plus rocket-besieged residents were told just last night (Wednesday) by Defense Minister Ehud Barak that there was no need to change the city’s deployment plans.

The Katyusha-like were fired in several waves in the mid-afternoon hours.  Two rockets slammed directly into residential homes, and shock victims were treated at the sites. One rocket landed at the northern entrance to town, and marks the longest-range hit to date.

At the same time, five Kassam rockets were being fired at Sderot and the western Negev.  A 70-year-old woman in Sderot suffered shrapnel wounds; she is listed in light condition in Barzilai Hospital. Two rockets scored a direct hit on a hothouse, and the Thai workers inside were just barely able to escape unharmed.

Later in the day, eight more Kassam rockets were fired into Israel; four of them landed north and east of Gaza, and four landed in Ashkelon.

Escalation in Barak’s Statements and Threats

Defense Minister Ehud Barak warns of an impending escalation. Following his recent comments that a “solution to the Kassams is closer than thought,” Barak said on Wednesday afternoon, “A large ground offensive in Gaza is concrete and actual.”

Speaking after a high-level security consultation in the shadow of the rocket attacks on Israel, Barak said, “The responsibility for the escalation lies with Hamas, and he will bear the consequences. We will reach those who are responsible and we will hit those who carry out the attacks.”

Muslim Loses Federal Gun Case on Appeal

The little terrorist should be thankful that he got off so easy, yet he continues to whine, claiming discrimination…  Well, cry me a river!  This song goes out to you, “Shaheed:”

 

Muslim loses federal gun case

Appeals court upholds ruling

By Lee Hammel TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF

MASS – The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the conviction of a Worcester man who claimed he was selectively prosecuted for gun law violations because he is an African-American Muslim.

The three-member appeals panel upheld the judgment of U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV, who sentenced Samuel J. Lewis Jan. 8, 2007, to 15 months in prison. The appeals decision came last Friday, one day after Mr. Lewis, 34, was released from custody.

In rejecting public defender Timothy G. Watkins’ contention that the U.S. attorney prosecuted Mr. Lewis “but not others who were similarly situated,” the Appeals Court defined for the first time in the 1st Circuit (four states plus Puerto Rico) the meaning of “similarly situated.” But it noted that other appellate courts “have upheld the government’s decision to prosecute more readily when the specter of terrorism is implicated.”

A federal district court jury in Worcester convicted Mr. Lewis on 15 counts of providing false information on a federal form while buying 16 weapons between August 2002 and September 2003. He was found not guilty on two charges of providing false information while buying guns for another person.
