Freedom of Speech: Silence is Not Golden

One demonstrable "toxic asset" of the country's governing altruist philosophy comes in two forms: censorship and the "fairness doctrine," or the suppression of free speech and its regulation. Of course, "regulated" speech cannot be free, either; regulation is simply an overture to censorship. Call it "Censorship Lite." While in the economic realm the federal government is actively and noisily nationalizing the economy, the move to de facto censorship has recently bolted ahead, as well, from a fast walk to a gallop on padded hooves to better steal up on us and lop off our heads. Distracted by the gutting of Wall Street and the ongoing vilification of all business CEOs, and not just those who were seduced by the chance to profit from subprime mortgages, few people are paying attention to the peril in which their right to speak against Congress and the administration has been put.
The cyclone of legislation and engineered destruction of freedom and capitalism being whipped up by President Barack Obama and the Democrat Congress (the Republicans, a.k.a. the GOP, or Grand Old Pathetics, as I am wont to call them, no longer can be said to count for opposition to anything) cannot help but be accompanied by an aggressive assault on the freedom of speech to suppress all spoken and written dissent and opposition, to silence those whose ideas the administration and Congress do not want to hear and do not want others to hear. This assault represents the logical amalgamation of Left and Right.
Historically, and by necessity, one of the first casualties of a collectivist "revolution," such as we are witnessing today, has been the free press by either its complete abolition or its takeover by the usurpers. The goal of such physical force serves a number of purposes: to silence those whose ideas are a threat to the totalitarians' ideological and economic hegemony; to impose conformity on the public, and thus create a population of passive, yeah-saying or silent slaves; to regulate the minds of the public by suffocating them with propaganda and with a fear of the consequences of open, public dissent.
In such circumstances, the guiltiest party is a "free" press which voluntarily parrots the government line, either from agreement with the government's ends or from ignorance. The American news media today can be charged with a combination of both offenses.
But Congress and the federal government are not the only parties stealing a march on the First Amendment of the Constitution. The Jerusalem Post of March 12th reported:
"The Islamic states circulated a new resolution at the current session of the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva on Wednesday that could criminalize defamation of Islam as a human rights violation and encourage the imposition of Sharia.
"According to the nonbinding governmental resolution, titled 'Combating Defamation of Religions,' anything deemed insulting to Islamic sensitivities would be banned as a 'serious affront to human dignity' and a blatant violation of religious freedom."
The Post reports that the only religion named in the resolution is Islam. Of course, given the moral relativism of the Obama administration (not to mention that of the Bush administration), such a "law" would be granted legitimacy if it ever came to having to take an official position on Islam. "Defaming" Islam by identifying its brutal, anti-mind nature, by cataloging the crimes committed in its name, by highlighting the Koran's invitation to murder, genocide and enslavement, and by reporting its pathological hatred of freedom and free minds and its barbarous conduct towards its own adherents, can be deemed "criminal." It is the brother of secular "hate speech." And the fact that hate speech laws exist in several states and are condoned by the judiciary does not bode well for anyone who wishes to tackle the issue of Jihad."Introduced by Pakistan on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), it passed by a 108-51 margin, with 25 abstentions....The resolution decries 'the negative projection of Islam in the media' and voices 'deep concern that Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism.'"
I cannot recall the last time any member of the news media "negatively projected" Islam. Nor can I recall the last time the news media reported any of Islam's "human rights" violations, either abroad or here in the U.S., such as the "honor" killings of teenage girls who stray from the deadening Muslim subculture. The news media's knee-jerk deference to all things Muslim is rooted in non-judgmental fear. The Western press has been intimidated and practices self-censorship. Pakistan is an alleged ally of the U.S. in the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan. The resolution was also supported by our other "allies," Egypt and Iraq. It is payback for all the billions of dollars in aid the U.S. has sent to those countries. A more visceral method of censorship occurred in Fairfax County, Virginia, when over 600 Muslims packed an auditorium for a hearing of the county planning commission on whether or not to allow a Saudi Wahhabist school (or a mind-killing, anti-Western madrassa) to expand on property already leased to it by the county. The commissioners extended every courtesy to the Muslim mob, and none to the few who questioned the wisdom of allowing an incubator of Jihad to grow in the "community," who were bullied, shouted down, and surrounded by hostile Muslims with the sanction of the commissioners. The Virginia of Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Mason and James Madison - the colony and state in the intellectual forefront of championing individual rights and limited government -- is not the Virginia that exists today. Its governor not only endorsed Obama and signed a bill banning smoking in bars and restaurants (in an exercise of eminent domain, or the partial seizure of property to benefit others), but went begging to Washington for a cut of the stimulus billions. Here in the U.S., the federal government and its enablers in Congress are working frantically to suppress or discourage any kind of speech they deem "offensive" or "unfair.""Senior FCC staff working with acting Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Copps held meetings last week with policy and legislative advisers to House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman to discuss ways the committee can create openings for the FCC to put in place a form of the 'Fairness Doctrine' without actually calling it such."
Waxman, one of the most power-lusting congressmen in politics, who also wants tobacco put under Food and Drug regulation, and who is practically a caricature of an Ayn Rand villain, "is also interested, say sources, in looking at how the Internet is being used for content and speech purposes.""One idea Waxman's committee staff is looking at is a congressionally mandated policy that would require all TV and radio stations to have in place 'advisory boards' that would act as watchdogs to ensure 'community needs and opinions' are given fair treatment. Reports from those advisory boards would be used for license renewals and summaries would be reviewed at least annually by FCC staff."
Those "advisory boards" would function as the Politburo did in Soviet Russia, to enforce compliance with federal criteria of what constituted "community needs" and to decide whose opinions were to be given "fair treatment." (Are you ready for an all-Muslim version of "Dancing with the Stars" or a La Raza-approved interpretation of the Alamo?) Forgotten by the likely victims of this looming legislation is the fact that the FCC is already a component of the welfare state, having the authority to ration out the airwaves to the highest bidders and those with political pull in the name of "public service." The Internet poses a particular threat to the statists, because it can now replace not only newspapers and the airwaves, but serves as an alternative to those media for information, opinion, and objective journalism. The Waxman-Pelosi-Reid-Obama coalition and its allies wish to regulate it and tax it. The Internet cannot be controlled and taxed except by either the FCC or another, newer government body. Google, Yahoo, Microsoft Outlook and other Internet "providers" or "common carriers" could be forced to have "advisory boards," as well. And given their cooperation with totalitarian regimes such as China's, not much opposition to regulation should be expected from them. For an excellent comment on the rise and possible fate of the Internet under Obama, see C. August's Titanic Deck Chairs site here. From rationing out the airwaves, a power it should not have, the government may be moving to rationing out newsprint."With many U.S. newspapers struggling to survive, a Democratic senator on Tuesday [March 24] introduced a bill to help them by allowing newspaper companies to restructure as nonprofits with a variety of tax breaks.
"Cardin's [Benjamin Cardin] Newspaper Revitalization Act would allow newspapers to operate as nonprofits for educational purposes under the U.S. tax code, giving them a similar status to public broadcasting systems [that is, to the various units of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting system, or PBS]."
There is an instance of beggar thy looting neighbor."Cardin's office said his bill was aimed at preserving local and community newspapers, not conglomerates which may also own radio and TV stations. His bill would also let a nonprofit buy newspapers owned by a conglomerate."
Except for government departments and agencies, big is always "bad." And here is the logical catch to winning a government-granted "nonprofit" status:"Under this arrangement, newspapers would still be free to report on all issues, including political campaigns. But they would be prohibited from making political endorsements. Advertising and subscription revenue would be tax-exempt, and contributions to support news coverage or operations could be tax deductible."
And there you have it. Newspapers bailed out through the ruse of being dubbed "nonprofit" organizations would be required to gag themselves, in exchange for tax-exemptions on their revenue. The power to not tax can be as destructive as the power to tax, if the bribe or inducement is tempting enough to those who do not think ahead or who do not care to think at all. Of course, that would leave TV, radio, and the Internet as sources of news and opinions Americans want to search for, read or hear, and not what politicians and the government would prefer them to read or hear. Theoretically, Americans would be compelled to listen to opposing viewpoints and opinions under a resuscitated "Fairness Doctrine," a mongrel concept that purports to advance "diversity" in politics and culture but which was declared unconstitutional by the FCC in 1987 and abandoned. In reality, Americans would not listen to or watch what the government and "public service" advocates wished them to audit. The failure of Air America, a left-liberal radio station created to counter popular conservative talk radio, testifies to the power of volition. Radio stations across the country did not wish to syndicate or carry Air America because their owners or managers knew that their audiences did not wish to listen to it. (Americans already get enough of left-liberal perspectives and talking points in their newspapers and from politicians.)"Senator Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., told radio host Bill Press yesterday when asked about whether it was time to bring back the so-called 'Fairness Doctrine': 'I think it's absolutely time to pass a standard. Now, whether it's called the Fairness Standard, whether it's called something else -- I absolutely think it's time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves...."
Which means: Any station that allows someone like Rush Limbaugh to publicly hope that Obama's policies fail, would be held "accountable" and presumably penalized, taken over, or driven out of business. Stabenow, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi and their cohorts are not working to see Rush Limbaugh debate someone like Bill Moyers (of PBS) on important issues; they know that Limbaugh, whatever his faults, would wipe the floor with Moyers and that countless Americans would cheer Limbaugh on with all the raucous gusto of a crowd watching a prize fight. The last thing the advocates of "fairness" and "balance" want is confrontation. They know they would lose. But the fundamental purpose of the "Fairness Doctrine," or whatever its new name might be, is not to establish "fair standards" or to enforce 'accountability" or to "serve" the public. Its goal is to destroy the very concept of free speech, to reduce it to a contest of "he said-she said," to give insupportable, arbitrary assertions the same weight as statements of fact -- in short, to sully the value of the freedom of speech, to nullify the role of ideas and to inculcate in one's mind a cloying indifference to whatever anyone says about anything. In June a ruling is expected from the Supreme Court on whether or not a documentary film, "Hillary: The Movie," produced by a conservative group, Citizens United, is political speech or a political ad. It was shown in eight theaters during the primaries in 2008 and intended to criticize Hillary Clinton, then regarded as the favorite to win the Democratic nomination. The Federal Election Commission subsequently prohibited it from being aired on television."Government lawyers argued that conservative group Citizens United's 90-minute documentary...is a political ad just like traditional one-minute or 30-second spots and therefore regulated by the McCain-Feingold law, the popular name for 2002 revisions to the nation's campaign finance laws [the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act].
"The FEC's conclusion that the movie was nothing more than an overt attempt to persuade voters not to side with Hillary Clinton was affirmed by a three-judge panel last summer which ruled the film had 'no other interpretation' other than as an advocacy message to voters that Clinton should not be elected."
Whether or not the Court rules for or against the film, its decision will likely be grounded on non-fundamental reasons. The Court will not challenge the validity of McCain-Feingold, only the utterly arbitrary rules by which it is enforced and whether or not they are practical or "fair." It will not venture to rule McCain-Feingold and every other statutory or legislative abridgement of the First Amendment unconstitutional. It will simply count beans and measure concretes and second-guess the intent of the film and of its producers. Helping the Court dodge the issue is Citizens United itself:"Citizens United appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that 'Hillary: The Movie' should not be considered a political ad. The group says there is nothing in the movie urging people to vote against Clinton. The group says the film is more of a documentary comparable to critical television news programs such as 'Frontline,' 'Nova,' and '60 Minutes.'"
No political principle I know of was ever defended by artful insinuation, which is what the group's argument before the Court amounts to. "It really isn't what you think it is, it's something else entirely, and shouldn't be called a political ad. It is an 'express advocacy' of nothing. Clinton just happens to be the subject." Cringing is not an efficacious method of persuasion. Far be it from Citizens United to insist that the government has an obligation to defend anyone's right to persuade voters about candidates and issues in any style or medium he wishes or thinks the most effective, at any time before, during, and after a campaign, paid for with as much funding as possible by whatever any individual or group is willing to provide it. Far be it from Citizens United to insist that the Court uphold the First Amendment. With friends like that, freedom of speech does not need enemies.

I am pretty much finished
I am pretty much finished going through the contents of this site and am very thankful to FFI for presenting the facts on muslims so clearly. The knowledge of the muslim must be brought to every attic and every corner of the world, the knowledge that the muslim was a world plague from the beginning, remained so for millennia, and will forever remain one.
Each muslim individually being a follower of the desert thug Mohammad, and Islam as a whole, undermines every people and every state that it infiltrates. It is in its very nature to feed as a parasite and be a culture-killing worm in the host people. It grows and grows like weeds in the state, the community and the family and infests the blood of humanity everywhere. The subversion of the US and Europe is underway, like with India it had happened already and is reaching another peak soon.
In brief, that is the pestilential nature of Islam, against which every people must want to defend if it does not want to be the victim of this bloody plague. I don`t know what is happening to the legendry cowboy Americans, they are found burying their collective head in sands while Moslems reproduce by their side "using" their females.
Still, one is surprised that even today one occasionally finds citizens who feel sorry about the muslim in general and Palestine in particular, and who in their pubs or family conversations speak about the "poor muslims." These attitudes prove that, despite constant education about the islamic world plague, there remains much to be done, particularly among the "intellectuals." Bravo FFI and Ali Sina for doing wonderful service to humanity, yet much is left to be done to bring awareness.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: THE
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IS AN INDISPENSABLE READ FOR AMERICANS AND EUROPEANS
(http://www.masada2000.org/Islam-Rules.html)
WARNING FROM A FORMER MUSLIM
I was born and raised as Muslim. My whole family is still Muslim. I know every genetic code of Muslim. I know Islamic brain. I live and breath with them. I am an insider. I left Islam when I understood that Islam is a sick and evil religion. The following are the Islamic message to the West.
To the infidels of the West:
The Constitution for the new Islamic Republics of EuroArabia and AmerIslamia is under construction.
We will fight the infidel to death.
- Meanwhile American laws will protect us.
- Democrats and Leftist will support us.
- N.G.O.s will legitimize us.
- C.A.I.R. will incubate us.
- The A.C.L.U. will empower us.
- Western Universities will educate us.
- Mosques will shelter us
- O.P.E.C. will finance us
- Hollywood will love us.
- Kofi Annan and most of the United Nations will cover our asses.
Our children will immigrate from Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Indonesia and even from India to the US and to the other Western countries. They will go to the West for education in full scholarship. America is paying and will continue to pay for our children’s educations and their upbringing in state funded Islamic schools.
We will use your welfare system. Our children will also send money home while they are preparing for Jihad.
We will take the advantage of American kindness, gullibility, and compassion. When time comes, we will stab them in the back. We will say one thing on the camera and teach another thing to our children at home. We will give subliminal messages to our children to uphold Islam at any cost. Our children in America will always care more about Islamic Country’s interest than US interest.
We will teach our children Islamic supremacy from the very childhood. We will teach them not to compromise with Infidel. Once we do that from the very early age our children won’t hesitate to be martyr. We will take over the Europe first and then US will be the next. We already have a solid ground in the UK, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, and now in the US.
Our children will marry Caucasian in Europe and in America. We will mixed with intricate fabric of the Western society but still will remember to Jihad when time comes. Who are we?
We are the “sleeper cells”.
We will raise our children to be loyal to Islam and Mohammad only. Everything else is secondary.
At the time of the real fight we will hold our own children as our armor. When American or Israeli troops shoot at us the world will be watching. Imagine,… Imagine the news in the world “Death of Muslim babies by infidels”.
We know CNN, ABC, CBS are broadcasting live. Al-Jazeera will pour gasoline on the fire. The news will spread like wildfire. “Americans killed 6 babies, 10 babies”. “Jews killed two women”,
Keep your Nukes in your curio cabinets. Keep your aircraft carrier or high-tech weaponry in the showcase. You can't use them against us because of your own higher moral standard. We will take the advantage of your higher moral standard and use it against you. We won’t hesitate to use our children as suicide bomber against you.
Visualize the news flash all over the world, …Moslem mother is sobbing, ….crying. ….Her babies are killed by Jews and Americans, the whole world is watching live. Hundreds of millions of Muslims all around the world are boiling. They will march through Europe. We will use our women to produce more babies who will in turn be used as armor/shield. Our babies are the gift from Allah for Jihad.
West manufactures their tanks in the factory. We will manufacture our military force by natural means, by producing more babies. That is the way it is cheaper.
You infidels at this site cannot defeat us. We are 1.2 billion. We will double again. Do you have enough bullets to kill us?
On the camera:
- We will always say, “Islam is the religion of Peace.”
- We will say, “Jihad is actually inner Jihad.”
- Moderate Muslim will say there is no link between Islam and Terrorism and the
West will believe it because the West is so gullible.
- Moderate Muslim all over the world will incubate Jihadist by their talk by defending Islam.
- Using Western Legal system we will assert our Sharia Laws, slowly but surely.
- We will increase in number. We will double again.
You will be impressed when you meet a moderate Muslim personally. As your next-door neighbor, coworker, student, teacher, engineer, professionals you may even like us. You will find us well mannered, polite, humble that will make you say, “wow, Muslims are good and peaceful people”, But, we will stab you in your back when you are sleeping as we did on 911.
There will be more 911 in Europe and in America. We will say, “We do not support terrorism but America got what it deserved.”
Muslims, CAIR, ISNA, MPAC and other international Islamic Organization will unite. We will partner with Leftist, ACLU, with Koffi Annan, and the UN, and if we have to then even with France. Fasten your seatbelt. The war of civilizations has just begun.
We will recite Quran and say Allah-Hu-Akbar before beheading infidels, as we have been doing it. We will video tape those and send it to all infidels to watch. They will surrender - ISLAM means surrender.
We will use your own values of kindness against you.
You are destined to loose.
Must be very depressing for you. Isn’t it?
Allah-Hu-Akbar
as we say just before beheading.
21st Century Islamic Warfare: Muslims Vs. the West
- Let's see the effectiveness of Islamic warfare -
THE RULE HAS CHANGED. There is new game in town.
Bill Clinton ordered 50 Tomahawks Cruise missiles costing $100,000,000 each to destroy $50 mud houses that belonged to Osama's family. What a stupidity? What a poor ROI (Return On Investment)! And then Bush went into Iraq!
In return Osama's attack on the US.
Cost: 19 martyrs and less than $500,000.
Cost to the West: over 3,000 dead.
At least $1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) dollars economical loss in one year. This includes the ripple effect.
Osama's ROI with respect to: life = 3,000/19 = 158 fold.
Dollar = $1 tr./500K = 2,000,000 fold
That is modern warfare. The West will loose.
Allah-Hu-Akbar
Islam will rule the world. There is nothing you can do. Even if the per capita GDP of the world drops to half of its present level as a consequence of Islamic laws in place all over the world but still Islam will rule the word.
From your point of view we bring to the world to the dark ages, so be it. But still Islam wins, West looses.
Are you sure you want to play this game?
Jihad, ..Jihad...Jeeehaaad...
You are destined to loose.
Allah-Hu-Akbar
Saudi Arabia's $100 billion investment over the last 3 decades on over 60 thousands Madrassas and school all over the Islamic world is finally paying off. While the West was busy inventing medicine, increasing life expectancy, elevating human suffering, decoding human gene to find cure for Cancer, heart disease etc, launching space shuttle, inventing internet, working on new laws/theory for human rights, developing better economical models for a more prosperous world, while ACLU was gaining control over common sense, while American ingenuity was benefiting the rest of the world, we Muslims were busy producing over 200 million out of 1.4 billion, Walking, Talking, Non-Thinking, West-Hating, Pre-Programmed, Suicidal, Parasitic, Terrorist Robots. You can't win. The Genie is out of the bottle.
We will use American’s kindness, fairness, compassion, freedom of speech and non-discriminatory policy against them. We will stab them in the back.
What are you going to do? You are doomed.
VERDICT: IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!

Kameena JAH is informing Christians that together with Islam they are pretty much the same party to destructive pestilence for the world. In short, they both share ideological roots to be bloodsuckers in arms.
But I don`t think Islam could be surpassed in anyway in being a world plague.
you are right
you are right Shamsher....nobody can beat the muzzle ems in bigotry

Constantine, Pontif of rome created christendom in 325 Ce at the Council of Nicea.
Islam followed Judaism, not the OT
Islam followed Christendom of Rome not Christianity of Jesus.
Muhammad copied from Greek mythology His horse named Buraq, a horse with a woman's head he road her. Barrack is Jewish name meaning "Lightning"stolen from Jews. Muhammad copied from Jews in Medina (Yathrib) and stole the words of the Talmud, a book written while Jews were captives in Persia (Iran). Jews said it was not from God. Kabala was created back then from Persian Zoroastarian. Madonna is in Kabala.
Shamsher those are the bloodsuckers not ChristiAns who mostly had died out by then.
Islam is a plaque like the black death! We have to reduce it to dust!
I WILL NEVER SUBMIT!
Hitler was a fool who tried
Hitler was a fool who tried his best to emulate the Mo-Ham but i think he miserably failed because he didn’t know that even n (natural no.) number of Hitlers put together could not outweigh Mo-Hams atrocities. At present there many fools like him.

This is a very interesting
This is a very interesting article. AJ....thank you very much for all that you said.
Guys, does anyone know of any Muslims who have stood up for any other religion when they are under attack? I mean, do you think they are concerned as to whether or not we become offended when we can't practice religion in the privacy of our own homes in Saudi (for those working over there). Yet they want to come here and expect us not to breathe a word of our opinion because it violates their religious rights.
I'm sure those of you in other non-Muslim countries are experiencing the same thing....Muslims and their apologists are everywhere....:(
Well, they are violating our freedom of speech and everything else that goes along with it....they think they deserve special treatment...hey, isn't that a trait of NPD....???
God help the U.S. if Sharia is allowed into the court system!
Dear Free spirt if you ever
Dear Free spirt
if you ever visit India, please visit all the old temples all over India.What you see in each and every corner of India the derelict destroyed temples.The two religions that have caused havoc in India are Islam( continues to day as well) and christianity.Thankfully the dead jews thoughts are dormant due to lack of funding specifically ear marked for crusade.Plus Indian chritians are waking up to the lie called bible. Its nothing against you personally.But it's important to realise that evil missionaries are equally cunning as the islamic counter parts
I am a former causer of man
I am a former causer of man made disasters and now involving myself in the project of overseas contingency plans.
If I were making a speech instead of writing it I might need a teleprompter to speak the title of this article. Does anyone understand what our government is doing? For those that cannot work it out or need help in deciphering President Obama’s code for the new word or words for a terrorist and the latte elitist language for “War on Terror,” you just got it in the title of the article.
Our most understanding president sends a love video to Iran; I just hope he sent it in the right format so they could actually see it. The Iranians must have seen it because there were comments from the mad mullahs that were not exactly encouraging.
As a person who in my youth was steeped in terrorism and hatred we would sneer at such talk from Israelis or Americans. The current NON-politics of fear will bring death and destruction, or “man made disasters.” If the truth is to be known is that our President will be the true cause of the man made disasters with the policies of appeasement that are beyond irresponsible.
As a former Jihadist (which is a word that according to our President is the “politics of fear), let me tell you what will defeat the terrorists. First we must identify the problem, which in itself is politically incorrect. The issue is not terrorism, which is the symptom but the real problem is the ideology of Islamic Fundamentalism. In the Middle East and even in America Islamic Fundamentalism is the prevalent and dominant within the Muslim world. This is what needs to be defeated or blunted heavily before we can stop the violence.
For those that do not understand the meaning of Islamic Fundamentalist as a former Muslim terrorist let me give you it exactly: “Religious conditioning taught to Muslim masses, by using illusions of misery, historic manipulation, and illusion of the virtues of a distant past by continual reflection on glory days long ago, in order to convert the masses into angry, pride filled, remorseless killers and seekers of salvation by death. The goal is to intimidate non-Muslims by fear and threats, in order to re-establish a utopian theocratic world order in which Islam and Muslims are dominant and all non-Muslims are subservient. This conditioning becomes the sole focus of both the spiritual leaders, and the followers in every aspect of their daily lives.”
I experienced the Friday prayers when the Imam would spew from the pulpit the hatred of Jews, Christians and Americans, the evidence of which is all over the Internet but not on our mainstream media. Today it is a hundreds times worse than when I was a terrorist in the 1970s and early 1980s. In America there is overwhelming evidence that the same hatred is being propagated at epidemic proportions in the United States within the mosques and no one in our government is willing to speak on it let alone do something about it.
Many in our media and even some of our most conservative voices wish to believe that the problem of terrorism is based on a minority of extremists but this I tell you as a former Muslim and a former terrorist is far from the truth. When I lived in the West Bank our whole society was steeped in this hatred from the school, the mosque, the media and even in our family, this is the way it is right across the Middle East which is hidden from us by the mainstream media.
If we are to defeat the evil of Islamic Fundamentalism and the scourge of “man made caused disasters” we need to first recognize the problem as I have identified if we are even to start to defeat it.
We need to educate ourselves, recognize the deceptions that we as a society are willing to accept for the sake of political correctness but in the long term will only create an even bigger disaster if we do not begin to deal with them today. The parallel comparison is our unwillingness to deal with the Nazis until it was too late. We have the potential for twenty, thirty or more Nazi states to emerge with the dominance if Islamic Fundamentalism. Churchill was regarded as a Naziphobe, he was one of the few who sounded the alarm bells. I am an Islamaphobe can I and a few others be right and the rest of the world wrong? History says yes.
The current policies and ideas from this new presidential administration will only bring more and bigger “man caused disasters” both to our shores and to our allies.

Poll Shows India is Israel’s
Poll Shows India is Israel’s Best Friend; Russians Like Us Too
by Gil Ronen
(IsraelNN.com) As part of its effort to “rebrand” Israel in the eyes of the world, the Foreign Ministry conducted a poll of 5,215 people from 13 countries described as “central” ones. The poll has found that the people of India are Israel’s best friends, at least among the larger powers: 58 percent of Indians surveyed said that they support Israel.
56 percent of U.S. citizens expressed support for Israel, as did 52 percent of Russians, 50 percent of Mexicans, 48 percent of Chinese and 39 percent of Italians.
Most of the survey was conducted before Operation ‘Cast Lead’ in Gaza was launched in late December.
Results of the poll show that 27 percent of the world’s citizens support Israel politically, while 24 percent think Israel is an “arrogant” country. An identical proportion – 24 percent – see Israel as a “creative” country and 17 percent see it as being a “friendly” one.
35 percent said that they see Israel as a racist country.
In a recent Gallup poll of Americans, Iran came in first as the country viewed most unfavorably – with 80 percent disapproval ratings. North Korea followed with 77 percent, Afghanistan with 75 percent and the Palestinian Authority tying Pakistan with a 73 percent unfavorable rating for each.
A 2007 Gallup poll of Americans found that 58 percent sympathized with Israel over the Palestinian Authority.
The price of silence and
The price of silence and silence out of fear is death. If you remain silent when the truth is obvious and moscums are killin every where, your days of beoing beheaded are not far off. Fredom of speech comes with a price tag.and that's life.
