State Department purges report of Muslim atrocities against Christians

(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. State Department removed the sections covering religious freedom from the Country Reports on Human Rights that it released on May 24, three months past the statutory deadline Congress set for the release of these reports.

The new human rights reports--purged of the sections that discuss the status of religious freedom in each of the countries covered--are also the human rights reports that include the period that covered the Arab Spring and its aftermath.

Thus, the reports do not provide in-depth coverage of what has happened to Christians and other religious minorities in predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East that saw the rise of revolutionary movements in 2011 in which Islamist forces played an instrumental role.

MAYHEM IN DEARBORN! - Terry Jones - April 7/2012 - VIDEO!

He said he would come and sure enough - he did. Terry Jones is the senior pastor of Dove World Outreach Center in Gainsville, Florida, the author of book Islam Is of the Devil, and a 2012 Independent presidential candidate.

When we heard he was heading north to protest in front of the largest mosque in America we thought it might be great to pack up our cameras and head on down to capture the event. So that's what we did.

When we arrived we were greeted by a strong police presence. Dozens of local and state police were on the scene along with police dogs. The local media was there already; having arrived moments before we did - around 1245 pm.

There was a group of people, from all races and genders, yelling obscenities into the air: "Racists - bigots - shut em down! Dearborn doesn't f**k around" was the chant. Making the charge that being against creeping sharia law in America is "racist" caused us to ponder what level of education the protesters had since being Islamic or Muslim has nothing to do with race because anyone can be a Muslim. That was one of my personal observations.

Dr Jones was scheduled to speak at 1300 in front of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Mi and yet the police had us blocked off several hundred feet from the property. Finally they began checking id's - media credentials and such. We showed them our official PPSIMMONS i.d. and were allowed in with the rest - local FOX News, etc.

In this video you will see some of the protests, you will hear Pastor Jones explain that Muslims are liars, that he doesn't hate Muslims, and that he is not a "racist" because Islam is not a race.

Following this, Pastor Jones went through his material, explaining with the help of his associate pastor why he is doing the event, how it affects the country as a whole, and why it is vital that freedom-loving Americans everywhere stand up for the constitution of the United States. Jones explained that the support of Islamic rituals (i.e. footbaths, special sport practice times for Muslims etc) in schools is actually in contravention of the "support no religion" clause in the constitution (1st amendment) which reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

In this video we see Jones explain why he and his associates openly carry a firearm everywhere they go. He said he has a bounty on his head worth over a million dollars and has documented more than 300 death threats including those related to being at this event.

Finally here is the entire footage we took of the event.

Florida Pastor to Confront Islamic Center in Dearborn, MI

Florida Pastor Terry Jones, according to a press release from his office, will appear in Dearborn Mi this Saturday April 7 to protest the apparent sharia law creeping into the culture of that area. The press release reads in part:

Islam is the greatest threat to our national security. The Muslim community refuses to integrate, instead they demand and push their religion, their rituals, upon us and upon our society.

Dearborn is a prime example of this along with many others around the nation. Below is a list of examples of how the Muslim community is trying to push their agenda upon us with the help of organizations such as CAIR and MSA, with the help of political correctness, with the help of people who are unwilling to actually take a stand. As Islam continues to push its agenda using threats, parts of America are beginning to give in. Changes are being made at the expense of taxpayers.

The special menus that are being provided at schools in Dearborn are costing taxpayers $228,000 every year. The special foot washing basins that are being installed in airports around America are costing as much as $100,00 each. This must be stopped. This cannot be tolerated. America how long will you allow yourself to be abused by the Muslim community? We, at Stand Up America Now, have in the past voiced our disagreement and disgust with these and many other issues. We shall continue.

On April 7, we will be in Dearborn, Michigan in front of the Islamic Center of America to take a stand for America.

1. During the month of August which is Ramadan (a month of fasting and prayer), Fordson High School holds football practices from midnight to 4am in order to satisfy the religious requirements of Islam.

2. 11 years ago Dearborn schools introduced a pilot program offering halal meats at a school building. Today, the program has grown— with more than half of Dearborn’s 32 schools offering halal options for Muslim students. In Dearborn Public Schools, some schools have Arab-American student populations of 90 percent or more.

Providing a halal menu in Dearborn does incur additional cost. Halal meats are 30 percent more expensive than typical meat. The district established a contract with a Dearborn grocer to provide halal meat, costing taxpayers $228,000.

Dearborn schools prepare five different menus each day.

1. normal menu

2. halal menu

3. halal without nuts

4. partial halal

5. peanut free

Dearborn's halal meals also means more money spent on staff to prepare, organize and store the meals.

3. Footbaths in State-Funded Colleges

University of Michigan in Dearborn installed two foot baths which cost taxpayers $100,000.

Minneapolis Community and Technical College has a policy that “strictly prohibits religious displays”, and have warned against any public display that may promote any particular religion. The college received threats saying the college will be bombed if we refuse to build this facility. The college used taxpayer funds to install facilities for Muslim ritual foot-washing.

George Washington University in Washington D.C., Boston University and University of Toledo in Ohio, Eastern Michigan University have installed foot baths.

4. Footbaths in Airports

The Indianapolis Airport and KCI Airport in Kansas City, Missouri.

The Kansas City International Airport added several foot-washing basins in restrooms to accommodate a growing number of Muslim taxicab drivers. There are approximately 250 taxicab drivers operating at KCI Airport in Missouri, one of the largest airports in the U.S. Approximately 70 percent of the drivers are of Middle Eastern heritage and practice Islam.

Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix provides prayer rugs and footbaths.

5. Muslims demand prayer breaks and other privileges of privately owned companies.

2008 ~ JBS Swift & Co. in Greeley, Colorado 100 Somali Muslim workers were fired after they did not report to work in protest of Swift's refusal to give them a prayer break during the holy month of Ramadan. The company was sued by the EEOC for religious discrimination.

2008 ~ approximately 250 Somalian Muslim workers at the Tyson, Inc. Shelbyville, Tennessee plant demanded that the Islamic holiday Eid al-Fitr be added as a paid holiday while Labor Day was removed as a paid holiday.

2008 ~ A Muslim teacher in suburban Chicago, who had been employed less than one year, requested three weeks of unpaid leave to go on a Hajj to Mecca, Saudi Arabia . Her request was denied because it did not meet the requirements of the union contract which gave uniform standards for leave that applied to all employees. The teacher then quit her job and filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The United States Department of Justice filed a complaint on behalf of the teacher which accused the school district of violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The school board was ordered to pay the teacher $75,000 to cover lost back pay, compensatory damages, and court costs.

Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, employers cannot deny a "reasonable" religious accommodation request as long as it does not pose an undue hardship, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

2011 ~ In Seattle, Washington, 35 Hertz-Rent-A-Car employees demanded to be paid for prayer breaks. Hertz had already allowed the prayer breaks with pay until the Muslim workers began taking advantage of the company's generosity and did not return to work in a timely fashion.

2011 ~ The Cargill meat packing plant in Fort Morgan, Colorado produces 4 million pounds of beef daily and accommodates the vast majority of daily prayer requests by the roughly 500 Muslim employees. Cargill created two large gender-segregated reflection rooms with prayer rugs for Muslims to fulfill their daily prayer routine while at work. The company even sought the advice of Somali leaders to be certian that the workers' needs were being met. Muslims pray five times a day at times that are determined by the sun's position. This is an extreme hardship for companies with many Muslim workers. Federal workplace-discrimination complaints filed by Muslims shot up in 2009 and 2010, to almost 800 each year according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

2011 ~ 22 Islamic workers and Dianne's Gourmet Desserts, a Le Center, Minnesota, subsidiary of H.J. Heinz Co.'s foodservice operations claim they were fired and forcibly removed from the premises for saying their Friday evening prayers. The company had established new break times and the Friday evening prayers did not concide with the Islamic prayer times. Le Center has two prayer rooms for employees where the workers were "to take prayer breaks as a special accommodation to the requirements of their faith.

Muslim scholars agree that obligatory prayers can be made up at a later time. If an employee is not able to take a break for prayer times, then the prayers can be made up at a later time.

The Muslim Student Association of America has created it's Political Action Task Force after several MSA chapters did not react adequately enough, according to the MSA, to U.S. and international policital situations. The MSA includes leaders such as Anwar al-Awlaki, the al Qaeda cleric linked to terror plots from Fort Hood to Times Square and others, Omar Hammami, a leader of the al-Shabaab terrorist group in Somalia, Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was national president of the MSA during the 1980s, was al Qaeda's top fundraiser in America and is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence, Ramy Zamzam before convicted in Pakistan for attempting to join the Taliban and kill American troops. The MSA is well-known as an "incubator" of Islamic radicalism and has deep roots in the Muslim Brotherhood whose goal is to establish Islamic Sharia worldwide.

According to the MSA's Political Action Task Force (PATF) section on the University of Michigan ~ Dearborn's web site, it declares to stage rallies, protests, and teach-ins to spearhead a united political movement.

Al Qaeda slams Iran for peddling 9/11 conspiracy theories

YAHOO NEWS

It's not often foreign leaders are chastised by al-Qaeda for going too far in their critique of the United States--but Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has somehow managed the trick. Ahmadinejad is already facing bruising attacks at home from conservative Iranian clerics and politicians on several fronts--and now al Qaeda representatives are assailing him for peddling conspiracy theories that deny the terrorist group's culpability for the Sept. 11 attacks.

According to the new issue of "Inspire" magazine--the English-language propaganda outlet put out by the group's Yemeni affiliate al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)--Ahmadinejad insulted the terrorist group by renewing past conspiratorial claims about the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon during his speech before the United Nations last week.

"The mysterious September 11 incident" merits an investigation into possible "hidden elements involved" seeking a pretext for America's invasion of the Middle East, Ahmadinejad suggested in his Sept. 22 address to the world body--prompting an immediate walk-out by the United States and several European delegations.

And it seems that this was all a bit much for al Qaeda.

"The Iranian government has professed on the tongue of its president Ahmadinejad that it does not believe that al Qaeda was behind 9/11 but rather, the U.S. government," an article in Inspire's latest issue argued, according to ABC News' Lee Ferrin. "So we may ask the question: why would Iran ascribe to such a ridiculous belief that stands in the face of all logic and evidence?"

For Iran, "al Qaeda was a competitor for the hearts and minds of the disenfranchised Muslims around the world," the rant continued. "Al Qaeda... succeeded in what Iran couldn't. Therefore it was necessary for the Iranians to discredit 9/11 and what better way to do so? Conspiracy theories."

Iran is committed only to carrying out "lip-service jihad" against the United States, it added.

(Whether the Inspire article author is aware that his rant echoes a skit by the satirical media outfit "the Onion" in 2008 is unclear.)

Ahmadinejad's 9/11 conspiracy theories were hardly anything new--nor was the American and European walkout that they provoked. Indeed, both have becoming staples of recent years' annual gathering of world leaders for the UN General Assembly opening session.

So too has Ahmadinejad's flurry of media interviews on his New York trips.

In such a meeting with journalists following his UN address, the Iranian leader was more restrained--if not more conciliatory--as he sought to draw equivalences between the West's economic troubles and those of Iran, the target of international sanctions over its nuclear program. Ahmadinejad also responded to questions about his own reported domestic political problems with Iran's hardline parliamentarians, suggesting that the divided political scene in Tehran is not all so different from the partisan rancor faced by the American president in Washington.

The Iranian leader went on to press other supposed analogies between Iran and the West. When several journalists in attendance asked him about the treatment of Iranian political prisoners, human rights abuses and political repression, Ahmadinejad countered that violence involving law enforcement kills 30 Americans every week, and spoke of the independence of Iran's judicial system. And when another reporter queried him about Iran's alleged military and financial support for Bashar al-Assad's crackdown in Syria, Ahmadinejad denied playing such a role, going on to argue that the successful Arab rebellions in Egypt and Tunisia overturned autocrats long allied with the United States. And so on.

Some of America's "jobless, hopeless youth see no alternative but to join the armed forces," Ahmadinejad said. "We are not happy" when American soldiers die in Afghanistan and Iraq. "Why do they need to die in Afghanistan? . . . Some wish to accuse others. Yet they are ignoring their own fundamental role."

Whether Ahmadinejad will get many further opportunities to portray such narratives on the world stage is not as assured as it once perhaps seemed. The UN gathering in New York this year was missing several autocrats who had become perennial fixtures--Libya's Moammar Gadhafi, Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, and Tunisia's Ben Ali among them. And Ahmadinejad, currently in his second presidential term, is also a lame duck, as Iran is due to hold presidential elections in 2013.
