 “Jihad Prevention Act” would deny U.S. visas to advocates
of ‘Sharia’ law, expel Islamists already here
WASHINGTON, DC – Amid disturbing revelations
that the verdicts of Islamic Sharia courts are now legally binding in civil cases in the United Kingdom, U.S. Representative
Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) moved quickly today to introduce legislation designed to protect the United States from a similar
fate.
According to recent news reports, a new network of Sharia courts in a half-dozen major cities in the U.K.
have been empowered under British law to adjudicate a wide variety of legal cases ranging from divorces and financial disputes
to those involving domestic violence.
“This is a case where truth is truly stranger than fiction,”
said Tancredo. “Today the British people are learning a hard lesson about the consequences of massive, unrestricted
immigration.”
Sharia law, favored by Muslim extremists around the world, often calls for brutal punishment
– such as the stoning of women who are accused of adultery or have children out of wedlock, cutting off the hands of
petty thieves and lashings for the casual consumption of alcohol. Under Sharia law, a woman is often required to provide numerous
witnesses to prove rape allegations against an assailant – a near impossible task.
“When you have an
immigration policy that allows for the importation of millions of radical Muslims, you are also importing their radical ideology
– an ideology that is fundamentally hostile to the foundations of western democracy – such as gender equality,
pluralism, and individual liberty,” said Tancredo. “The best way to safeguard America against the importation
of the destructive effects of this poisonous ideology is to prevent its purveyors from coming here in the first place.”
Tancredo’s bill, dubbed the “Jihad Prevention Act,” would bar the entry of foreign nationals who
advocate Sharia law. In addition, the legislation would make the advocacy of Sharia law by radical Muslims already in the
United States a deportable offense.
Tancredo pointed to the results of a recent poll conducted by the Centre for
Social Cohesion as evidence that the U.S. should act to prevent the situation in Great Britain from replicating itself here
in the United States. The poll found that some 40 percent of Muslim students in the United Kingdom support the introduction
of Sharia law there, and 33 percent support the imposition of an Islamic Sharia-based government worldwide.
“We
need to send a clear message that the only law we recognize here in America is the U.S. Constitution and the laws passed by
our democratically elected representatives,” concluded Tancredo. “If you aren’t comfortable with that concept,
you aren’t welcome in the United States.” Source: Border Fire ReportH/T: Shariah Finance Watch |

In the "stealth Jihad" war of ideas over the past
year, one American institution after another has signaled its willingness to surrender to the advocates of Islamic supremacism -- our homeland security, our military, and our law enforcement. Islamic supremacist groups have "guided" such American government organizations to create a
"terror lexicon" that excludes "Jihad," to promote "progress" over "liberty," to blackball those who would confront the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic supremacists, to "train" our law enforcement, and to openly promote engagement with Islamic supremacist organizations as part of counterterrorism tactics.
TERROR ATTACK IN YEMIN
SEPTEMBER 18, 2008
Not all Muslims are terrorists but "almost"
all terrorists are Muslims...to
ignore the incredible damage that has, and is being done to the world
and
to America by Islamic radicals is intellectually dishonest...we are
not at war with terrorists any more than we were
at war with
Blitzkrieg warfare during WWII..it was a tactic...Terrorism, in a like
manner, is a clear tactic of
Islamic expansionism...if we can't
acknowledge this obvious truth then we have no future...
Independents Unbound: Another Terrorist Attack On Our Embassy (Yemin)
Christian Theology Students Forced off Campus
by Mob of Islamic Hard-liners
JAKARTA, Indonesia —
Hundreds of Christian theology students have been living in tents since a mob of angry Muslim neighbors stormed their campus
last month wielding bamboo spears and hurling Molotov cocktails.
The incident comes amid
growing concern that Indonesia's tradition of religious tolerance is under threat from Islamic hard-liners.
In talks since the attack, the Arastamar Evangelical School of Theology has reluctantly agreed to shut its 20-year-old
campus in east Jakarta, accepting an offer this week to move to a small office building on the other side of the Indonesian
capital.
"Why should we be forced from our house while our attackers can walk freely?"
asked the Rev. Matheus Mangentang, chairman of the 1,400-student school.
The government of President
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, which relies on the support of Islamic parties in Parliament, is struggling to balance deep Islamic
traditions and a secular constitution. With elections coming next April, the government seems unwilling to defend religious minorities, lest it be portrayed as
anti-Islamic in what is the world's most populous Muslim-majority country.
The July 25 attack,
which injured 18 students, was the culmination of years of simmering tensions between the school and residents of the Kampung
Pulo neighborhood.
Senny
Manave, a spokesman for the Christian school, said complaints were received from neighbors about prayers and the singing of
hymns, which they considered disturbing evangelical activity.
Several neighbors refused to comment,
saying they feared that could further strain relations. A prominent banner, signed by scores of people, has been hung over
an entrance to the neighborhood.
"We the community of Kampung Pulo demand the campus be closed
and dissolved," it says.
The assault began around midnight, when students woke to the crash
of stones falling on their dormitory roof as a voice over a loudspeaker at a nearby mosque cried "Allah Akbar,"
or "God is great" in Arabic.
The unidentified speaker urged residents to rise up against
their "unwanted neighbors," said Sairin, the head of campus security, who goes by a single name.
The attack followed a claim that a student had broken into a resident's house, but police dismissed the charge.
Uneasy relations date to 2003, when neighbors began to protest the school's presence. Last year, residents set
fire to shelters for construction workers to try to stop the campus from expanding deeper into the neighborhood. Some also
questioned the legality of the school's permit.
Christian lawmaker Karol Daniel Kadang accused
property speculators of provoking last month's incident to clear the land for more profitable use, after the school refused
to sell out.
He also blamed the government for failing to build interfaith relations, which he
and others believe are beginning to fray.
"People are still tolerant, but there is a growing
suspicion among Muslims of others," said Prof. Franz Magnis-Suseno, a Jesuit priest who has lived in Indonesia for half
a century.
He added that the police have failed to prevent both attacks on minorities and the
forced closure of Christian churches and nontraditional mosques by mobs incited by radical Muslims.
"The
state has some responsibility for this growing intolerance, namely by not upholding the law," he said.
A mob stormed a church service last Sunday in another east Jakarta neighborhood, forcing dozens of Christian worshippers
to flee, said Jakarta Police Chief Col. Carlo Tewu. No arrests have been made.
Since being driven
from campus, nearly 600 female students have been sleeping under suspended tarps at a nearby scout camp, where they had to
dig trenches to keep water out during downpours. Classes are held with megaphones in the sweltering summer heat, under trees
or the tarps. A similar number of male students live in a guesthouse. The remainder have returned to their families.
Food, water and school supplies are donated by church groups and community charities.
"We
feel like refugees in our own country," said Dessy Nope, 19, a second-year student majoring in education. "How can
you study here? I only followed 20 percent of my last lesson. It's difficult to concentrate."
Christians have not been the only targets for Muslim hard-liners, who this year set fire to mosques of a Muslim sect,
Ahmadiyah, that they consider heretical.
In June, the government ordered members of the sect to
return to mainstream Islam, sparking concern among activists who fear the state is interfering in matters of faith and caving in to the
demands of radicals.
"We're living in a country where there are many religions, but the
government cannot prevent the actions of fundamentalist groups," said Manave, the school spokesman. "The government
cannot protect minorities."

IRAQIS TAKE CONTROL OF ONCE BLOODY ANBAR PROVINCE
Democrats should be jumping for joy. The most important
goal for an Iraqi province has been met. Self
reliance. Yet
there is silence from the media. There has been no response
from those anti-war mongers, who wanted
immediate pullout,
including democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama. These
people, who thrive on bad news,
these people who will make up
bad news if there is none to be had, are soon to be discovered as
the angry, anti-Republican's,
who would do anything
(including hurt America) to get elected. They root for gasoline prices
to go higher, they
root for more layoffs, they root for more people to
lose their homes, they root for poverty. After all, it is those
misfortunates
who will need what your democratic politician promises to do for them.

AUGUST 17
THE SURGE
HAS WORKED SO WELL IN IRAQ, THAT OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, A SURGE
HAS BEEN PLANNED FOR AFGHANISTAN. THAT TOO WILL
WORK. STANDING STILL, WHEN
TERRORISM WON'T GO AWAY, IS TAD AMOUNT TO GIVING OUR WORLD AWAY TO ISLAM.
WE MUST
DEFEAT ISLAMIST PLANS OF WORLD DOMINATION. IT BEGINS WITH ONE STEP.
THAT WAS IRAQ. THE SECOND STEP IS AFGHANISTAN. IF
YOU TRULY LOVE YOUR FREEDOM
AND COUNTRY, YOU MUST ALLOW ANY SURGE AGAINST ISLAMISTS TO CONTINUE AND
NOT BE SO NAIVE,
AS TO THINK THEIR PLANS DON'T EXIST. MANY MUSLIMS HAVE TRIED TO
WARN US. WE MUST LISTEN TO THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND ISLAM
AND WHAT THE OBLIGATION
IS TO ISLAM. WORLD DOMINATION IS THEIR GOAL. IF YOU EXAMINE HOW FAR THEY HAVE
COME, YOU
WOULD HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. IF YOU WON'T MAKE THE EFFORT, DON'T STOP
THOSE WHO WILL.
