O'S DANGEROUS PALS BARACK'S 'ORGANIZER' BUDS PUSHED FOR BAD MORTGAGES, By STANLEY KURTZ
Chutzpah: ACORN's drive to lower mortgage standards paved the way for the meltdown - yet last week, it was holding protests like this one in Florida, trying to get a cut of the financial-market-rescue bill.Posted: 3:53 am September 29, 2008
WHAT exactly does a "community organizer" do? Barack Obama's rise has left many Americans asking themselves that question. Here's a big part of the answer: Community organizers intimidate banks into making high-risk loans to customers with poor credit.
In the name of fairness to minorities, community organizers occupy private offices, chant inside bank lobbies, and confront executives at their homes - and thereby force financial institutions to direct hundreds of millions of dollars in mortgages to low-credit customers.
In other words, community organizers help to undermine the US economy by pushing the banking system into a sinkhole of bad loans. And Obama has spent years training and funding the organizers who do it.
THE seeds of today's financial meltdown lie in the Commu nity Reinvestment Act - a law passed in 1977 and made riskier by unwise amendments and regulatory rulings in later decades.
CRA was meant to encourage banks to make loans to high-risk borrowers, often minorities living in unstable neighborhoods. That has provided an opening to radical groups like ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) to abuse the law by forcing banks to make hundreds of millions of dollars in "subprime" loans to often uncreditworthy poor and minority customers.
Any bank that wants to expand or merge with another has to show it has complied with CRA - and approval can be held up by complaints filed by groups like ACORN.
In fact, intimidation tactics, public charges of racism and threats to use CRA to block business expansion have enabled ACORN to extract hundreds of millions of dollars in loans and contributions from America's financial institutions.
Banks already overexposed by these shaky loans were pushed still further in the wrong direction when government-sponsored Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac began buying up their bad loans and offering them for sale on world markets.
Fannie and Freddie acted in response to Clinton administration pressure to boost homeownership rates among minorities and the poor. However compassionate the motive, the result of this systematic disregard for normal credit standards has been financial disaster.
ONE key pioneer of ACORN's subprime-loan shakedown racket was Madeline Talbott - an activist with extensive ties to Barack Obama. She was also in on the ground floor of the disastrous turn in Fannie Mae's mortgage policies.
Long the director of Chicago ACORN, Talbott is a specialist in "direct action" - organizers' term for their militant tactics of intimidation and disruption. Perhaps her most famous stunt was leading a group of ACORN protesters breaking into a meeting of the Chicago City Council to push for a "living wage" law, shouting in defiance as she was arrested for mob action and disorderly conduct. But her real legacy may be her drive to push banks into making risky mortgage loans.

After the bailout, the Feds sold Superior's bad loans to EMC, a subsidiary of Bear Stearns. Now with this proposed bailout, the American taxpayer will be buying them again. Penny Pritzker was Chairman of Superior Bank FSB, while her Chicago-based family sat on 50% of the board. Under Penny Pritzker's direction, Superior underwent a nationwide campaign of subprime lending for single family loans, auto loans, mobile homes, multi-family, and commercial properties.

The Obama camp has been threatening television and radio stations to keep them from airing anti-Obama ads.
The latest target is the NRA and stations in Pennsylvania.
Earlier this week, the National Rifle Association's Political Victory Fund released a series of radio and television spots to educate gun owners and sportsmen about Barack Obama's longstanding anti-gun record. In response to the NRA-PVF ads, a clearly panicked Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) are doing everything they can to hide Obama's real record by mounting a coordinated assault on the First Amendment.
They have gone to desperate and outrageous lengths to try to silence your NRA by bullying media outlets with threats of lawsuits if they run NRA-PVF's ads.
The Obama camp is particularly angry with an NRA ad entitled "Hunter" which lays out Obama's record on gun control.
You can see the "Hunter" ad -- Go Here Now.
Other NRA ads include "Way of Life" and another focusing on Joe Biden's record, "Defend Freedom, Defeat Obama."
This week, Obama's campaign general counsel Bob Bauer wrote seeking to censor the ads at stations in Pennsylvania.
"Unlike federal candidates, independent political organizations do not have a 'right to command the use of broadcast facilities,'" Bauer writes. "Moreover, you have a duty 'to protect the public from false, misleading or deceptive advertising.'"
"This advertising is false, misleading, and deceptive," Bauer continued. "We request that you immediately cease airing this advertising."
The NRA says Obama's camp are sending out these "intimidating cease and desist letters" to cable operators and television stations, threatening their FCC licenses if they run the ads.
The NRA charged that "Obama and the DNC have been using strong-arm tactics reminiscent of Chicago machine politics to try and cover up the truth and silence NRA by forcing the stations to assist them in hiding Obama's radical anti-gun record."
And now, Obama and the DNC have opened a new front in their assault on your First Amendment rights by calling on their followers to contact these station managers to demand that the stations not run NRA-PVF's ads.
NRA stands behind the accuracy of these ads, and NRA attorneys have responded to the Obama campaign's despicable and abusive attempt to trample on the First Amendment by sending a thorough rebuttal to station managers. This rebuttal clearly and conclusively refutes the Obama campaign's fallacious claims that the ads are inaccurate.
The NRA has set up a web site detailing its position on Obama at www.gunbanobama.com.
A copy of the NRA's letter to station, written by its counsel Cleta Mitchell, follows below:
MEMORANDUM
CLIENT-MATTER NUMBER
999100-0130
TO: Station Managers
FROM: Cleta Mitchell, Esq.
Counsel to National Rifle Association
DATE: September 25, 2008
RE: Documentation for Advertising by National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund ("NRA-PVF")
This firm serves as counsel to the National Rifle Association (“NRA”) and the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund ("NRA-PVF"), which is the federal political action committee of the NRA and the sponsor of certain advertising purchased and soon-to-be purchased on your station. It has come to my clients’ attention that the Obama for President campaign is engaging in an effort to prevent or stop the airing of certain ads by NRA-PVF, falsely alleging that the ads are ‘inaccurate’. The Obama presidential campaign apparently relies on an article appearing in the Washington Post on September 23, 2008 to support its contention hat the NRA-PVF ads should not be aired.
The Washington Post is hardly an objective news source on any subject related to the issues to which the NRA is dedicated, having spent decades attacking not only the NRA but also fighting against the legislation and policies NRA supports to protect the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, as well as supporting every conceivable government proposal or policy any officeholder or candidate suggests to weaken and disrupt the guarantees of the Second Amendment. It is therefore no surprise that the Washington Post would now attack the NRA for advertisements which truthfully disclose the anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment record of Barack Obama, the candidate supported by the Washington Post.
Attached please find the point-by-point refutation of the Washington Post’s article about the NRA-PVF ads regarding Obama’s record on the Second Amendment, as well as an article disclosing the bias of the decidedly not neutral “FactChecker” on which the Washington Post article is ostensibly based.
The NRA devotes 100% of its time and resources to protecting the Second Amendment and fighting for government policies and legislation furtherance of the rights of the American people to keep and bear arms.
The legislative and policy record of candidates and officeholders such as Barack Obama are well known and documented by the NRA on an ongoing basis. NRA-PVF’s advertising during the 2008 election cycle is based on that extensive research and documentation, which is being furnished to you with this Memorandum.
Accordingly, we respectfully request that your station disregard the shamefully false assertions from the Obama campaign and its attorneys regarding the NRA-PVF ads and that the ads run in accordance with the purchase(s) made by NRA-PVF in the media buy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------- Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement
JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.
“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.
“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.
“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.
“Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society.”
Penny Pritzker, national finance chair of Barack Obama's presidential campaign, is the owner of the Hyatt, the hotel hosting the genocidal Hitler-wannabee, Ahmadinejad.
This is the latest in an assault on Israel and Jewish Americans. Obama and co. strong-armed and bullied the craven organizers of the Anti-Ahmadinejad rally to disinvite Pro-Israel supporter Sarah Palin.
Clearly Obama's chief fundraiser could refuse to host the Ahmadinejad at her hotel. Instead, she has rolled out the red carpet.
It was bad enough that Obama would not send someone to represent him at the anti-Ahmadinejad rally on Monday now this ..............
Here is the original invitation:
An invitation to an international dialogue between religious leaders and political figures:
"Has not one God created us?" The significance of religious contributions to peace It is an honor to invite you to participate with religious, cultural, and political leaders in a conversation about the role of religions in tackling global challenges and building peaceful societies at an Iftar – a dinner to break the Ramadan fast.
In the presence of His Excellency Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran] With contributions from His Excellency Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann, President of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
His Excellency the Rev. Kjell Bondevik, former Prime Minister of Norway and President of the Oslo Center for Peace and Human Rights and distinguished religious leaders.
UPDATE: Palin Warns Against 'Second Holocaust' by Ahmadinejad September 19, 2008 2:31 PM
ABC News' Imtiyaz Delawala Reports: Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin warned against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's pursuit of nuclear weapons for a "second holocaust," while blaming "Democrat partisans" for forcing rally organizers to withdraw her invitation to speak before an anti-Iran protest in New York next week.
UPDATE: The Baron has more more more: Yes, I agree; this is appalling. But it gets smellier and smellier the more you look into it. Here's the bare outline of the facts:
The Grand Hyatt in NYC is owned by the Hyatt Corporation, which is owned by H Group Holding.
The Hyatt Corporation is a private company owned by the Pritzker family. Penny Pritzker is one of four major heirs.
Penny Pritzker is Barack Obama's chair for his campaign finance committee, sometimes also referred to as treasurer for Obama's campaign finance committee.
So Obama's campaign finance committee's chairwoman is hosting Ahmadinejad on Thursday at the Hyatt.
The Pritzker family, Penny in particular, were pioneers in creating a new financial product in the late 1990s and early 2000.
It was called the subprime mortgage. - - - - - - - - - When their bank failed, they ended up owing the government half a billion dollars in unreimbursed FDIC insurance payments. Posted by Pamela Geller on Friday, September 19, 2008 at 03:05 PM in Antisemitism:Modern Argument to Age Old Hate, Muslim in the White House?, Nuclear Roulette: And the Band Plays On, WHITE HOUSE:
THE RACE TO NOVEMBER The event would have been bipartisan if any prominent Democrat had agreed to show up. But No! Self-serving Dem politics rules all. Egad!-- it might give Palin "Gravitas" in the foreign policy area to be seen with a prominent Democrat at such a rally. This should put in a clear spotlight how little the Dems care for Jewish concerns over a nuclear Iran and Jewish attempts to warn the American people.
Just as we Catholics were given the boot over the years over our concerns. It is becoming clear that the party of Barack Hussein Obama is going to go anti-Jewish as soon as Moslem voters outnumber Jewish voters -- just as the party went virtually anti-Catholic as soon as Catholics were outnumbered by those who hate everything genuinely Catholic in the party.

Thomas Jefferson once warned that:
“We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds...[we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers... And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for[ another]... till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery... And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.”
We have fallen short in our duty as citizens to keep the republic created for us two hundred and twenty years to go. Of course, many years and many players went into the transition from Constitutional Republic to Socialist Democracy. It was not a swift blow that destroyed our assembly of free states, but millions of pin pricks that became sword thrusts, all predicated upon a misunderstanding of our Constitution; from both ignorance and mal intention.
Our country was NOT to be a FEDERAL HIERARCHY with endless laws enforced by brutal hands growing out of a central capital, but an association of FREE STATES, bound by the principles and protections of liberty, where self determination could flourish and free minds could decide where and how best to achieve their destiny.
Our country was NOT to be a NATIONAL SECURITY STATE, entangled in foreign alliances, perpetually at war, forcing the will of our most wealthy on the peoples of the world. Instead we were to encourage trade, commerce, and the cordial relations they require with all nations, thus providing prosperity and safety to our citizens.
Our country was NOT to be a WELFARE STATE, oppressed financially and morally by entitlement, shackled by the politics associated with redistributing the wealth of the public, where Corporations and Lobbyists find advantage in courting our representatives and subverting the will of free peoples and markets. Instead we should be an open land, where individuals and companies who work hard and promote ingenuity succeed, and those who rely on risk or deception suffer the consequences of their choices.
Our country was NOT to be a POLICE STATE, where citizens are all suspects monitored by cameras, where dissent is met with a baton, or where speech petitioning the redress of grievances is met by a cage and a fine. The United States should be a model to the world, of a nation where all ideas are welcome, and the best among them, supported by reason and sense, rise to the top, while those based on ignorance or hatred fall into the gutter of silence.
EMPIRE was NOT in the design of these United States, and nor were its costs:
A populace propagandized to live in fear of the outside world, taxed in every labor to afford the machines of death with which to further subjugate humanity.
A populace falsely led to fear one and other, taxed in every purchase and exchange to afford bureaucracies, ever expanding in their cost and confusion, whose promises - juvenile in their utopian design - could never be realized.
A populace so inundated with a fascist worship of THE STATE, that the overwhelming majority lose the desire to inspect its motives, to examine its methods, or to call it to question for its crimes.
The two largest POLITICAL PARTIES are in lockstep closing the window of debate to what they decide are acceptable norms, and in preventing any competition in the marketplace of political discourse. Thus voting has lost almost all of its strength, and the mind of the American Citizenry has be reduced in its power to what amounts to the mere selection of color when choosing representation.
We must begin to talk passionately about these issues. We must begin to strike the root of tyranny as it grows in our land. We must speak truth to power using the words John Steinbeck wrote in The Grapes of Wrath, that the likes of Paine and Jefferson were not causes, but results.
We must demonstrate the RESULTS of our government’s lust for power and privelage. We must demonstrate the RESULTS of our government’s unethical collusions with industry. We must re-assert the intended American Order of INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS over the will of the state.
For, if out of laziness or fear, we do not rise to answer the call of the age, to take our place in modern history, then we will have nothing to say when the shadow of fascism rests on every corner of our land, except that we invited it.
Turkish Prime Minister: "Islamophobia" a "crime against humanity"
And he wants it outlawed, pronto, which will mean that those who dare to expose the Islamic roots of the global jihad and Islamic supremacism will pay hefty fines and spend long stretches in the slammer. Of course, it can't happen here. Can it?
"Enmity with Islam ‘crime against humanity,’" by Thomas Seibert for The National (UAE), September 17 (thanks to Jack):
ISTANBUL // In a sign of his simmering anger about what he sees as baseless accusations against Islam in the West, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s prime minister, has called on the international community to declare the enmity against Islam a “crime against humanity”.
Addressing Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, his Spanish counterpart, and about 2,500 other guests in Istanbul at a celebratory iftar meal on Monday, Mr Erdogan said: “No culture, no civilisation should belittle the other, despise the other or see the other as an enemy.” [...]
In the Alliance of Civilisations, Mr Erdogan has emerged as a leading representative of the Islamic countries, said Semih Idiz, a foreign policy columnist with the daily Milliyet. As a politician with roots in political Islam and leader of a party that has many pious Muslims among its voters, Mr Erdogan is very sensitive to what he sees as western prejudices towards Muslims, Mr Idiz said.
“Islamic countries are watching closely what he does,” Mr Idiz said about Mr Erdogan’s role in the Alliance of Civilisations. “He is a sort of spokesman, representing the Islamic world in the platform.”
But at the same time Mr Erdogan had to take into account that he himself had to take “brave steps”, Mr Idiz said. After the murders of the Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink and of three Christians in the central Anatolian town of Malatya last year, the Erdogan government was criticised for not being outspoken enough in its condemnation of the killings.
In his speech at the iftar on Monday, Mr Erdogan stressed the need for a dialogue without prejudices.
“The principle mission of the Alliance of Civilisations is an effort to understand each other correctly,” he said. The fear of Islam that has spread in the West, a development he called a “paranoia”, makes it harder to reach that aim, he said.
“The fear called Islamophobia is a pathological state of mind, as the name says,” Mr Erdogan said in his speech, according to reports in Turkish newspapers and television stations. “We expect members of other civilisations to declare Islamophobia a crime against humanity, especially while we say that anti-Semitism is a crime against humanity.”
Mr Erdogan has criticised the West for harbouring “Islamophobia” before, saying that Muslims felt “under siege”. But this time, the prime minister went further, accusing the West of trying to define values of a global civilisation all by itself.
“We think that civilisation is global, and that civilisation cannot be interpreted like an ideology that belongs to the West,” he said. After a first international forum held in Madrid in January this year, the Alliance of Civilisations will hold its second forum in Istanbul in April. Mr Idiz said the platform had become a vehicle to defuse tensions between the West and the Islamic world.
“We saw that after the cartoon crisis,” he said, referring to the anger in the Islamic world after the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed by a Danish newspaper in 2005. At a meeting in Doha in Feb 2006, members of the alliance discussed ways to calm the waters after the crisis....
Islamophobia Original article at: http://www.faithfreedom.org/oped/sina40622.htm
The following message was emailed to me by Mr. Iftikhar Ahmad the director of London School of Islamics. My response is in continuation.

Islamophobia and Arabophobia has been part of western culture since the Crusades, with Saddam and Osama only the latest in a long line of Arab bogeymen. The real reason for the current spate of Islamophobia is the fact that Islam has been the fastest growing religion in the world and as such poses a threat to the West. This is happening inspite of widespread misconceptions and negative media portrayed of Islam.
Prejudice against Islam in the West developed due to historic rivalry of Christianity against Islam. The defeat of Christians by the Muslims in Crusades was a big shock for the Christian world. These deep wounds are still so fresh in the Christian world today that the parents, media, politicians and teachers feel it a duty to nurture the feelings of prejudice against Islam in the hearts and minds of their young generations. According to Runnymede Trust, Britain has become “an institutionally Islamophobic” society in which Muslims are demonised. Hostility towards Muslims is still a major problem and is not being taken seriously enough by race relations bodies. According to Dr. Richard Stone, there is now renewed talk of a clash of civilizations, a new global cold war, and mounting concern that the already fragile foothold gained by Muslim communities in Britain is threatened by ignorance and intolerance. According to John Gieve of the Home office, Islamic extremism might be a “symptom of disaffection”. The same disaffection previously surfaced during the riots that shook Oldham and Bradford in 2001.
Jews and Christian scholars, the so called Western Orientals have always tried to mispresent Islam in their writings. They have always tried to spread baseless lies against Islam in a very authentic and scholarly style, hiding their deep rooted hatred against Islam. They have called all efforts to restore pure Islam in Muslim countries as “fundamentalist movements” against modern-day material progress and economic development. Lacy O’Leary in the book “Islam at the cross road”: “history makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever repeated.” Even Gandhi refuted the false propaganda, otherwise, one could not find even a single Hindu or non-Muslim in the Indian sub-continent and on top of that Sikhism could not dare to emerge as a religion. India would be the largest Muslim country in the world. In the 20th century new images emerged, the fanatical terrorist, the stone-thrower and the suicide bomber. According to Lord Carey, there was a deep-rooted Islamophobia in Britain . There is a worrying ignorance of Muslim people and suspicion of their presence in the United Kingdom. It is assumed by many that Muslims wish to take over ‘our country and if we allow them to enter Britain in significant numbers they will in time make the country Islamic’.
Mr. Denis MacShane, the Minister for Europe urged British Muslims to adopt the “British norms” and not the way of the “terrorists”, in other words “Islamic way”. He provoked Muslims to choose between the “British way” and the way of terrorism.” Monica Ali’s, who was mis-educated and de-educated by the British education system, portrays Bangladeshi Muslims in Brick Lane as backward, uneducated and unsophisticated. This is the main reason why her book was selected for Guardian First Book Award. The content of the book is a despicable insult to Bengali Muslims at home and abroad. The book can be compared to Salman Rushdie’s Stanic Verses. The combined forces of racial discrimination and Islamophobia have been awesome in the marginalisation and alienation of the Muslim community. Muslims made to feel like an enemy within by Islamophobic attitudes. Hardening prejudice against Islam is creating a dis-affected underclass of young Muslims “time-bombs” likely to explode into violence, according to a recent report. Life for Britain 1.6 million Muslims has never been easy. For decades they have struggled in the face of discrimination in all walks of life. West is not based on Judio-Christian civilisation. This term should be abandoned to be replaced by Judio-Christian-Islamic civilisation. The new language should be used in all venues starting with media, academic statements by politicians, church leaders and Imams of Masajid. These are the words that define how we are related to each other’s.
Through out the modern history, Muslims have contributed for the Renaissance of Western culture and society. Islamic values are not only compatible with the western values they are almost identical. Islamic ideas helped shape the European West that produced the values cherished by the constitution’s framers. Western culture is infact based on Muslim culture. The aim of education is to give the highest possible standard in order to advance spiritually, emotionally, technologically and economically. The early Muslim knew this and they were instrumental in giving the west much of the scientific knowledge that has once helped it to thrive.
Bernard Shah once said that the future religion of the West would be Islam and only Islam. Islamophobia is guiding Westerners towards that end. They study with open mind the Holy Quran and Islamic literature and poetry. Islam is a force fighting Imperialism. Read the greatest book of revolution: The Holy Quran. Meet the greatest revolutionary of all times: Muhammad (peace be upon him). In America a great number of universities, colleges and schools are offering Islamic Studies courses. There is a possibility that in the near future half of native population would revert to Islam. In fact Islamophobia is a blessing in disguise.
I am afraid you are completely out of touch with reality. First of all Islam is not the world’s fastest growing religion. Yes Muslims do procreate faster but this is the nature of all poor and uneducated people. Secondly there are more Muslims leaving Islam than any other religion losing their followers. Please wake up and smell the coffee.
Now the real reason for Islamophobia is because many Muslims are active terrorists. They kill people. Aren’t you watching the news?
Then we have people like you who brazenly deny the real cause of Islamophobia and accuse the terrorized people of paranoia and misunderstanding, hence adding more insults to the injury and give more reasons for people to fear Islam and consider it the religion of a people incapable of rational thought.
Islam does not pose any threat for being, as you put it, “the fastest growing religion”. It is not the fastest growing religion! And even if it were no one would give a damn, just as no one gives a damn about the growth of Falun Gong, which by having over 100 million fresh converts in just 10 years is actually the world’s fastest growing religion. The fear of Islam does not come from its alleged and bogus fast rate of growth but from your terrorist brethren, your holy book of terror and your barefaced denials.
You accuse Westerners of being prejudiced against Islam and being rancorous over the defeat of the crusaders. It is this absurd and mindless thinking that is frightening. What prejudice are you talking about when Muslims can run for political office in “Christian” countries and they enjoy all the benefits that other citizens have? Compare that to the plight of Christians and other minorities in Islamic countries. What rights do they have? ...None!
You talk about the loss of crusaders? Sir, the “Christians” have won! They won a long time ago. The very fact that you have left your poor and Islam-devastated country and have come to their doors to seek a better life is proof enough that they have won. What have the Muslims won? Are they technologically more advanced? Are they better educated? Are they more democratic? Is the index of crime lower in Islamic countries? Are they happier? What can you show forth as the proof that you have won? “Historic rivalry of Christianity against Islam”?... Methinks your mind has been left behind in the Middle Ages. Sir, people are afraid of Islam because your fellow coreligionists are killing them, not because of what happened centuries ago. Most of them do not even know what happened in crusades. Some of them are so deluded that even have issued apologies for the crusades. You are talking nonsense. … “Crusades” eh?... “Historic rivalry of Christianity against Islam”? You are so depressingly funny!
Mr. Iftikhar Ahmad, for your information, people in the West do not care anymore about Christianity, crusades and what happened 900 or even 400 years ago. Unlike Muslims who are stuck in the past, they are living in the 21st century and they have their own concerns. It is not just the Europeans who are becoming "Islamophobic". The Koreans, the Japanese and nations that had nothing to do with crusades are also starting to fear Islam and the Muslims. There are many who were born into Islam and now are afraid of Islam. We are all afraid of Islam because Islam is a religion of terror. This is not phobia. The fear is very real and justifiable. Muhammad promised to “instill terror in the hearts of the unbelievers”. (Quran 8:12) Your prophet has succeeded. Now the world fears Islam. Your unwillingness to accept responsibility and the fact that you blame the victims of paranoia makes Islam look even more hideous. Your refusal to see the truth is a living testament that Islam is an insanity that, if not contained, will blow up the world.
You accuse Jewish and Christian scholars of misrepresenting Islam. I am neither Jewish nor Christian. Yet I declare that they are not misrepresenting Islam. I read the Quran, the Hadith and enough of the history of Islam to know Islam is not a religion but a dangerous cult, created by a controlling and sadistic cult leader.
You claim: “forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated.” And you call those who say such thing liars. Tell me which version of history you read? Is Tabari good enough? How did Islam came to Iran , Egypt , Spain or India ? Millions died defending their countries against marauding Muslims – 80 million were massacred in India alone. Those wretched souls were your own ancestors. This was the biggest holocaust. Now you are siding with the murderers of your ancestors and say it is just a “fantastically absurd myth”? Are you trying to rewrite history? Where do you think these “pure” Islamists got their inspiration to bomb, behead and murder innocent people? Isn’t it all in the examples set by Muhammad and his explicit instructions in the Quran?
Ironically, you are calling upon non-Muslims not to be prejudiced against Muslims but at the same time you threaten that the “Hardening prejudice against Islam is creating a dis-affected underclass of young Muslim ‘time-bombs’ likely to explode into violence”. With that kind of statement do you really expect people to believe Islam is a religion of peace? So basically what you say is that people must agree that Islam is a religion of peace otherwise there will be violence! What is deplorable in all this is that you think your readers are stupid.
You expressed your concern for Muslims losing their foothold in Britain and accuse your hosts of ignorance and intolerance. Don't you think that those disaffected and violent young Muslims that according to you are time bombs ready to explode have anything to do with it? How about rounding up those "dis-affected underclass of young Muslims" and sending them back home before they explode into violence?
You are demanding westerners use the phrase “Judeo-Christian-Islamic” when they refer to their civilization. Shouldn’t you first go back to your own country of birth and demand that the Jews and Christians be recognized as humans before making such an outlandish demand? You have come to the West and despise everything the western civilization stands for. All you dream of is to destroy it and establish your Islamic intolerant way of life. And now you have the temerity to demand that Islam be recognized as a contributor to this civilization? What has been the contribution of Islam to western civilization?
You claim that “Islamic values are not only compatible with the western values they are almost identical.” Do the Westerners practice polygamy, wife-beating, stoning, hand-chopping, flogging, beheading, clitoridectomy or honor-killing? What is it that you find identical between western civilization and Islamic barbarity? Is democracy an Islamic value adopted by the Westerners? Is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights an Islamic concept?
You say “Western culture is in fact based on Muslim culture”. Sir, Islam does not have a culture. What you mistake as Islamic culture is the culture of the civilized countries that Islam subdued. That culture is destroyed now. Is there any reference to Algebra, Chemistry, Astronomy, architecture, Medicine or philosophy in the Quran? Does Islam encourage poetry, sculpture, painting, dance or music? These are the foundations of any culture and Islam has nothing to do with them. Many of the exponents of these sciences and arts in Islamic countries were apostates. Terrorism however, is very Islamic. The Quran is full of verses that advocate murder, decapitation, genocide and terror. So you can say "Islamic terrorism" but you can't say "Islamic culture".
Finally you said one thing that I wholeheartedly agree with and that is “read the Quran”. I did, and I left Islam after that. I urge everyone to read that book, as you said, with an open mind. No one can write a book more damaging to Islam than the Quran. All we need to discredit Islam is to quote the Quran and the Hadith.
In the interests of humanity, I urge both Muslims and non-Muslims to read the Quran so that they can discover for themselves the stupidity of this book and feel its violence. Then I ask everyone not to remain indifferent. Muslims; please leave Islam. If you don’t like what you see, if you are not a terrorist yourself and do not support it, then leave Islam. Islam is a cult of terror. Muhammad was not a prophet. He was a terrorist and a psychopath no better than Hitler. You owe this mad man nothing. Just leave Islam and don't be a fool. Don't let the ghost of a psychopath control you with his fables or threaten you with hell and God's punishment. God will not punish you for using your brain. God does not prize fools either. That man lied. If you are truly a good person, you have no reason to call yourself a Muslim. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Just as a member of the Nazi party can’t say he is not a racist, you can’t be innocent while you support a cult of terror such as Islam. If you are not a racist, why join the Nazi party? If you are not a terrorist why call yourself a Muslim?
If you are a non-Muslim I urge you also to read the Quran. It won’t take you long to see the violence and hate that emanates from that book. Once you come to see that Islam is not a religion but a dangerous lie, then stop being polite about it lest you hurt the Muslims' sensitivities. Be truthful! Call a spade a spade. Do not sacrifice the truth at the altars of political correctness. Muslims need to be jolted to reality. Let them feel the heat. They have been too comfortable for too long. They must end this complacency. They must be forced to go back to their “holy” book and rethink about their belief. Once they come to know the real “pure” Islam, most of them will leave this cult. Then it would be easy to see who is a terrorist. This will also weaken the terrorists. Where do you think the terrorists get their unlimited supply of new recruits? The terrorists are these very average Muslims who heed to the call of Muhammad and rise to fight the disbelievers. Q.8:65,
Islam is not a religion based on logics or reason. It is based on lies and on hypes. When the hype is busted, Islam will disappear, like puncturing a balloon with a needle.
The exodus has already begun. Everyday more and more Muslims are learning the bitter truth about Islam and are leaving it. When this number reaches a critical mass, the whole edifice of Islam will crumble under its own weight. It will happen at once and it will happen in our own lifetime. Where did communism go? What happened to Nazism? Islam will go the same way. Do not be daunted by the big number of Muslims. Most of them are our future allies in this battle of good vs. evil. Islam is like a giant edifice built on shallow foundations of lies. No matter how big it may be, it will come down at once. We are not taking it apart brick by brick, like the reformists want to do. That would take another thousand years if at all possible. We are dynamiting its foundation. We are showing Muhammad was a psychopath, a liar and a narcissist. Once that is established, there would be nothing left of Islam.
You can help by being truthful. Do not be an appeaser and do not lie so as to not hurt your Muslim friends' feelings. Damn with their feelings; let us save the world, their lives, your life and everybody else's.
And you Mr. Iftikhar Ahmad; If you call this Islamophobia, you aint seen nothing yet!
According to Islamic "scholar", "Judge" and "holy man" Paul McCartney and Mickey Mouse must be killed! YES FOLKS, you are reading that correctly! Oh! and don't forget the depraved TV Moguls either. Who will be next? YOU?
Earlier this year New York passed legislation protecting authors from what has become known as “libel terrorism,” lawsuits claiming defamation filed in foreign jurisdictions and intended to intimidate authors and publishers. Since then, legislation modeled after New York’s bill, entitled the Free Speech Protection Act, was introduced with bi-partisan support in both the U.S. House and Senate.
We received word on Friday that Senators Specter and Schumer have filed the Free Speech Protection Act, with minor changes, as an amendment for consideration to be included in the Senate Defense Authorization bill (S. 3001).
The decision to allow amendments like this to be voted on for inclusion in the bill is made by the "managers" of the bill (Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin and for the GOP John Warner in Senator John McCain's absence). Senator Levin has to agree to allow a vote on our amendment. Levin, Warner and other Senate leaders are negotiating over which amendments (if any) will be allowed for consideration, and so far, only amendments directly related to the defense bill have been considered and voted on.
It is therefore URGENT that Senators Levin, Warner, and other members of the Senate Armed Services Committee hear from the grassroots right away. We need you to contact these members and urge them to include the Free Speech Protection Act as an amendment to the Senate Defense Authorization bill, S.3001. Tell them protecting American authors who write about terrorism is crucial to our national security and the war on terrorism. Following is a link to a listing of the members of this committee.
* Please email, fax or phone Senators Levin and Warner and respectfully ask them to include this vital legislation as an amendment.
* If any of these Senators is YOUR Senator, it is especially important for you to make contact with them as soon as possible, preferably by phone.
Getting this legislation passed will help ensure that American authors who have the courage to write about terrorism will not be subject to intimidation lawsuits filed in foreign jurisdictions. Protecting our precious free speech rights is a crucial front in the war on terrorism.
Cheikh Mohamed ben Abderrahmane Al-Maghraoui recently published a religious decree on an internet site calling for girls as young as nine years of age to become wives. A lawyer as well as human rights activists have joined the ever swelling number of critics to denounce this call to legalise paedophilia.
A muslim leader has called for a fatwa that has unleashed a wave of criticisms. Cheikh Mohamed ben Abderrahmane Al-Maghraoui recently published a religious decree on an internet site calling for girls as young as nine years of age to become wives. A lawyer as well as human rights activists have joined the ever swelling number of critics to denounce this call to legalise paedophilia.
Cheikh Mohamed ben Abderrahmane Al-Maghraoui has driven Moroccan human rights activists into a frenzy. According to a story published by Al Jarida Al Oula [a Moroccan journal] September 1st, the religious leader called for a fatwa on an Islamic site maghrawi.net calling for the marriage of 9 year old girls. “We have been told and we have seen that 9 year old girls are capable of wifely duties just like 20 year old women”, Cheikh Mohamed ben Abderrahmane Al-Maghraoui told maghrawi.net. And to give more strength to his comments he implicated the Prophet as having married a 9 year old child.
Risk of a boom in under-age marriages If a scandal is what he is has been aiming at, he has undoubtedly achieved his goal. Human rights activists are venting their spleen. They reject a backward religious act that soils the international convention for the rights of children which was ratified by Morocco, as well as the new family code which puts the minimum marriageable age at 18 years, whatever the sex. The Code is, however, wrought with inconsistencies on the question of premature marriage. “The legislator has authorised premature marriage under exceptional conditions and submitted it for authorisation from the judge without being precise about the minimum age nor contractual conditions. The result of this is the ongoing practice of premature marriage”. Said Fatiha Mesbahi a member of the Moroccan human rights association AMDH)
There is a widespread fear that this fatwa is designed to encourage premature marriage. In his comments, Mourad Bekkouri, a lawyer from rabat, says that due to “Morocco’s high number of illiterates, the effect of this action among the rural population remains unknown. Parents could marry off their small children should they think that the fatwa is officially binding, although it has not been approved by the Superior Council of ulemas”. Faced with such uncertainties, Mourad Bekkouri filed a law suit against this fatwa in Rabat on September 4. She is still waiting for the court’s decision.
This fatwa is a crime against humanity According to the vociferous lawyer, this fight is to preserve the child’s innocence. “I think that this fatwa is an infringement on the rights of the child and a call for rape and paedophilia”. Several newspapers and associations have seconded the Bekkouri’s views and even taken it a step further. “At this stage, it cannot be termed as a promotion of paedophilia, it is paedophilia, period ! A nine year old girl is not mature enough to have sexual relations nor receive sperm for fertilisation purposes. It is simply killing a girl before she becomes a woman ! This fatwa is a crime against humanity. Whoever started it needs to face justice” said Mohammed Graigaa, executive director of the Moroccan Planned Parenthood Association.
While reading Al Jarida Al Oula’s article, Saïda Drissi Amrani president of the Democratic Association of (...)
Sheikh Maghraoui reiterates his claims are based on Prophet Mohammad’s sayings RABAT. A Moroccan theologian repeated his claims Sunday that Muslim girls could marry as early as nine years old, arguing it was sanctioned by the Prophet Mohammed. "The marriage of nine-year-old girls is not forbidden because according to the Hadith (the Prophet Mohammed's sayings), Mohammed married Aisha when she was only seven-years-old and he consummated his union when she was nine," wrote Sheikh Mohamed Ben Abderrahman Al-Maghraoui on his website (Maghrawi.net).
"I am a confirmed theologian and I have not made this up. It is the prophet who said it before me," said the Marrakesh-based founder of a religious association. "Those who criticise me, like the press or Moroccan television as well as the lawyer who filed the complaint (against me), are part of a secular attack against the Islamic nation and its theologians," he added.
Earlier this month, Rabat-based lawyer Mourad Bekkouri filed a complaint against Sheikh Maghraoui and his fatwa, which he said damages children's human rights, and the family and criminal code by increasing the risk of rape (...)
Though we would like to think differently, there really are evil people who spend all their time thinking and planning the destruction of American men, women and children. While Christians and Jews are primary targets, these very bad terrorists do not discriminate in their desire to kill and destroy anyone who does not believe as they do. For our enemy, this is a cultural war, this is a religious war, this is a necessary war. Radical, militant Muslims have declared war on America.
PROBLEM Americans do not believe - America is at War.
War has a tendency to make average people turn away, both from actual hostility and even from its mere concept. War, though often necessary, is not normal and certainly not welcome. Problems occur when one group of people is united in their desire for war and the other group of people is divided in their understanding or commitment to defend against war. Americans are divided, but radical, militant Muslims are united in their war on America.
SOLUTION Americans must accept the fact - America is at War.
The term commonly used to describe Americans who either ignorantly or overtly reject that we are really in a War, is the term, “asleep.” The solution for being “asleep” is to “wake-up.” Many Americans who truly understand and believe (as our enemy does) that America is at War, also have discovered an “alarm clock” that is extremely effective at waking up Americans to the war being waged against them by extremist Muslims. That “alarm clock” is, the award-winning documentary, Obsession, Radical Islam’s War Against the West.
ACTION Americans must get involved - WATCH OBSESSION
In an effort to “wake-up” America, the Watch Obsession Citizen Education Program is mobilizing Americans across the United States to Watch Obsession and to then actively work, each and every day until the election to have their “universe” of family and friends, Watch Obsession. Americans who truly want to understand the destructive program of radical Islam and its desire to replace the US Constitution with the Koran (sharia law) can Watch Obsession either by viewing one of the millions of copies that are being put into the hands of Americans, or - in the near future - they can Watch Obsession online, at no cost.
SIGN UP NOW - Be part of this National Citizen's Movement!
Stop the crying and hypocritical memorials to 9/11 and take action to stop the Islamization of America. Man-up you idiots. While you are crying the Muslims are dancing, laughing, celebrating, taking over the country, working to change our constitution to Shar'iah Law, attacking us in subways and colleges, collaborating with the media, teaching Islam to our children..........and all you can say is "We will never forget".
Here are some reminders of what your inaction, dhimmitude, capitulation, submission and PC has wrought!
Who Is He - David Freddoso says that he wrote the book in order to provide a detailed look at Obama's political past. Part I, Part II, Part III
Defense - Obama's plan to disarm America.
Defense - Weeks after coming under fire for his refusal to wear an American flag pin, Democratic presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama is again facing questions about his patriotism from some conservative blogs -- this time for apparently failing to put his hand over his heart during a rendition of the national anthem at an Iowa campaign event. (cursor down)
Experience - ean Hannity asks a roomful of Obama supporters to name one of his accomplishments.
Experience - Hannity had so much fun with the first one, he repeated the exercise another night and asked a different bunch of Obama supporters to describe an Obama accomplishment.
Experience - Chris Matthews, on MSNBC's Hardball, asks Texas Senator Kirk Watson to name a single Obama accomplishment. He mumbles and stumbles and tap dances, but can't name one -- not one. A real laugher!
Obama's Muslim Brotherhood-linked aide hasn't really quit
This is a couple of weeks old, but I don't recall anyone remarking upon it. Barack Obama's Muslim Outreach Coordinator, Mazen Asbahi, resigned under pressure in August after it was revealed that he was "a frequent speaker before several groups in the U.S. that scholars have associated with the Muslim Brotherhood."
The Muslim Brotherhood, of course, is engaged “in America [in] a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” — Mohamed Akram, “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America,” May 22, 1991
And now it turns out that Asbahi hasn't really quit at all.
"Muslim Outreach Proves A Tricky Issue For A Campaign Lauded As Multicultural," by Sean Higgins for Investor's Business Daily, August 25 (thanks to Diana West):
Key Aide Hasn't Really Quit
Last month, his coordinator for Muslim outreach, Mazen Asbahi, a Chicago lawyer, quit after reports that he belonged to the board of an Islamic investment fund that included a radical imam.
Asbahi has not stopped working on behalf of Obama, though. He appeared at the luncheon to say that despite his official exit he was still "110%" behind Obama and that he was participating in campaign conference calls on Muslim outreach.
Stepping down was a "strategic decision," he told the audience. Asbahi declined to answer IBD questions clarifying his current role. [...]
and then we have the *Trumpets Please" Dhimmi Dummy of the Day award, which goes to George Stephanopoulus
Oh Georgie,Georgie! In front of millions of people live and millions, upon millions more on the net. You had to remind him to go BACK to his lies about being Christian! I'm only sorry I missed you actually kissing Obama's buttocks, or maybe you bend over after the interview for a bit of fun, just before or after you paid the dhimmi tax. Oh poor Georgie! Oh poor Abomination - you both are BUSTED!!
And the biggest laugh of the day and so so indicitive of Muslim Taqqiya, Baraq Hussein Obama is angry that people accuse him of being a Muslim right after he says "My Muslim faith"!
WAKE UP AMERICA, WAKE UP OPHRA.......you supporting the Abominattion BECAUSE he is black is racist!
Obama Had Close Ties to Top Saudi Adviser at Early Age
Wednesday, September 3, 2008 5:58 PM
By: Kenneth R. Timmerman Article Font Size
New evidence has emerged that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was closely associated as early as age 25 to a key adviser to a Saudi billionaire who had mentored the founding members of the Black Panthers.
In a videotaped interview this year on New York’s all news cable channel NY1, a prominent African-American businessman and political figure made the curious disclosures about Obama. (See Video Clip Below)
Percy Sutton, the former borough president of Manhattan, off-handedly revealed the unusual circumstances about his first encounter with the young Obama.
“I was introduced to (Obama) by a friend who was raising money for him,” Sutton told NY1 city hall reporter Dominic Carter.
“The friend’s name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas,” Sutton said. “He is the principal adviser to one of the world’s richest men. He told me about Obama.”
[Editor's Note: Read the Newsmax Article “Who Is Khalid al-Mansour?” Go Here Now].
Sutton, the founder of Inner City Broadcasting, said al-Mansour contacted him to ask a favor: Would Sutton write a letter in support of Obama’s application to Harvard Law School?
“He wrote to me about him,” Sutton recalled. “And his introduction was there is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends up there because you used to go up there to speak. Would you please write a letter in support of him?”
Sutton said he acted on his friend al-Mansour’s advice.
“I wrote a letter of support of him to my friends at Harvard, saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I certainly hoped they would treat him kindly,” Sutton told NY1.
Sutton did not say why al-Mansour was helping Obama, how he discovered him, or from whom he was raising money on Obama’s behalf.
A Sutton aide told Newsmax that Sutton, 88, is ailing and is unlikely to do additional TV interviews in the near future. The aide could not provide additional comment for this story.
As it turned out, Obama did attend Harvard Law School after graduating from Columbia University in New York and doing a stint as a community organizer in Chicago.
The New York Times described how transformative his Harvard experience became for the young Obama: “He arrived there as an unknown, Afro-wearing community organizer who had spent years searching for his identity; by the time he left, he had his first national news media exposure, a book contract and a shot of confidence from running the most powerful legal journal in the country.”
The details of Obama’s academic performance are well known: At Harvard, Obama rose to academic distinction becoming the editor of the Harvard Law Review and graduating magna cum laude.
Less known are the reasons al-Mansour, an activist African-American Muslim, would be a key backer for a young man from Hawaii seeking to attend the most Ivy of the Ivy League law schools.
Khalid al-Mansour a.k.a. Don Warden
In an exclusive interview with Newsmax from his home in San Antonio, Texas, al-Mansour said he would not comment specifically on the statement by Percy Sutton because he was afraid anything he said would get “distorted.”
“I was determined I was never going to be in that situation,” he said. “Bloggers are saying this is the new Rev. Wright — in drag! — and he is a nationalist, racist, and worse than Rev. Wright. So any statement that I made would only further this activity which is not in the interest of Barack.”
But in the lengthy interview, al-Mansour confirmed that he frequently spoke on university campuses, including Columbia, where Percy Sutton suggested he met Obama in the late 1980s, and confirmed his close relationship with Prince Alwaleed.
“I am not surprised to learn about this,” said Niger Innis, spokesman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). “It is clear that Barack Obama’s ties to the left are familial, generational, and have lasted for several years.” Innis is scheduled to address the Republican Convention in St. Paul, Minn at 7:43 PM Eastern time on Thursday.
Although many Americans have never heard of Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (his full name), he is well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of Israel.
A graduate of Howard University with a law degree from the University of California, al-Mansour sits on numerous corporate boards, including the Saudi African Bank and Chicago-based LaGray Chemical Co. LaGray, which was formed to do business in Africa, counts former Nigerian President General Abdusalam Abubakar on its advisory board.
He also sits on the board of the non-profit African Leadership Academy, along with top McCain for President adviser Carly Fiorina, and organized a tribute to the President of Ghana at the Clinton White House in 1995, along with pop star Michael Jackson.
But his writings and books are packed with anti-American rhetoric reminiscent of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s disgraced former pastor.
In a 1995 book, “The Lost Books of Africa Rediscovered,” he alleged that the United States was plotting genocide against black Americans.
The first "genocide against the black man began 300 years ago," he told an audience in Harlem at a book-signing, while a second "genocide" was on the way “to remove 15 million Black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society.”
In the 1960s, when he founded the African American Association in the San Francisco Bay area, he was known as Donald Warden.
According to the Social Activism Project at the University of California at Berkley, Warden, a.k.a. Khalid al-Mansour, was the mentor of Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his cohort, Bobby Seale.
Newton later had a falling out with Warden, who was described in a 1994 book as “the most articulate spokesperson for black nationalism” at the time.
The falling out wasn’t purely political, according to author Hugh Pearson.
“Sometimes Newton and the other members of (Warden’s) security detail got into fights with young whites who didn’t like what Warden had to say about whites. Rather than ‘throw down’ along with the security detail, Warden refused to fight,” Pearson wrote in “Shadow of the Panther: Huey Newton and the Price of Black Power in America.”
U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee of California entered an official statement of appreciation of Warden and his Black Panther colleagues in the African-American Association in the Congressional Record on April 23, 2007.
“Among the founding members (of the Association) were community leaders such as Khalid Al-Mansour (known then as Don Warden); future Judges Henry Ramsey and Thelton Henderson; future Congressman and Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, and future Black Panthers Huey Newton and Bobby Seale,” the Democratic representative’s statement said.
Al-Mansour’s more recent videotaped speeches focus on Muslim themes, and abound with anti-Semitic theories and anti-Israel vitriol.
“Today, the Palestinians are being brutalized like savages,” he told an audience in South Africa. “If you protest you will go to jail, and you may be killed. And they say they are the only democratic country in the Middle East. ... They are lying on God.”
He accused the Jews of “stealing the land the same way the Christians stole the land from the Indians in America.”
The Saudi Connection
But al-Mansour’s sponsorship of Obama as a prospective Harvard law student is important for another reason beyond his Islamic and anti-American rhetoric and early Black Panther ties.
At the time Percy Sutton, a former lawyer for Malcolm X and a former business partner of al-Mansour, says he was raising money for Obama’s graduate school education, al-Mansour was representing top members of the Saudi Royal family seeking to do business and exert influence in the United States.
In 1989, for example — just one year after Obama entered Harvard Law School — The Los Angeles Times revealed that al-Mansour had been advising Saudi billionaires Abdul Aziz and Khalid al-Ibrahim in their secret effort to acquire a major stake in prime oceanfront property in Marina del Rey, Calif., through “an elaborate network of corporate shells in California, the Caribbean and Europe.”
At the same time, he was also advising Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in his U.S. investments, and sits on the board of his premier investment vehicle, Kingdom Holdings.
Prince Alwaleed, 53, is the nephew if King Abdallah of Saudi Arabia. Forbes magazine ranked him this year as the 19th richest person on the planet, with a fortune in excess of $23 billion. He owns large chunks of Citigroup and News Corp., the holding company that controls Fox News.
He is best known in the United States for his offer to donate $10 million to help rebuild downtown Manhattan after the 9/11 attacks. But after the prince made a public comment suggesting that U.S. policies had contributed to causing the attacks, Mayor Rudy Giuliani handed back his check.
"I entirely reject that statement," Giuliani said. "There is no moral equivalent for this (terrorist) act. There is no justification for it. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered 4,000 or 5,000 innocent people.”
Since then, Prince Alwaleed’s Kingdom Foundation has given millions of dollars to Muslim charities in the United States, including several whose leaders have been indicted on terrorism-related charges in federal courts.
He also has given tens of millions of dollars to Harvard and other major U.S. universities, to establish programs in Islamic studies.
The casual statement by Percy Sutton to NY1 is the first time anyone has hinted at a relationship between Obama and the Saudi royal family.
Although al-Mansour glosses over his ties to the Saudi mega-billionaire in some of his public talks, he has represented the Saudi’s interests in the United States, in Britain, and in Africa for more than a quarter century, according to public records.
He told Newsmax that he has personally introduced Prince Alwaleed to “51 of the 53 leaders of Africa,” traveling from country to country on the Saudi prince’s private jet.
He knows virtually every black leader in America, from the business community, to community activists, to the worlds of politics and entertainment.
When Michael Jackson was on the ropes in the mid-1990s following a series of lawsuits by the parents of children accusing him of sexual abuse, al-Mansour introduced him to Prince Alwaleed, whose Kingdom Entertainment signed a joint venture with Jackson in 1996.
“Jackson and Alwaleed became pals in 1994, when a mutual friend from Alwaleed's college days in California arranged a lunch meeting aboard the prince's yacht in Cannes,” Time magazine reported about the new partnership in 1997.
The mutual friend was al-Mansour.
“As a black American, I am exceedingly proud at the American people’s response to Barack Obama’s candidacy,” said CORE’s Niger Innis. “But to deny that he has long-standing ties to left-wing elements in our polity is to deny reality. If you want to be president of the United States, it is not racism if you ask these kind of questions, and he has to come up with an answer, hopefully the truth.”
Sutton gives no clues as to why al-Mansour would be raising money to help Obama go to law school. Obama has said during his campaign that he paid his way through Harvard with student loans.
For Jesse Lee Peterson, founder of the Los Angeles-based Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), these latest revelations about Obama’s ties to Saudi financiers were an important wake-up call.
“To me, this opened up more questions about Barack Obama and his relationship to the Muslim world,” Peterson told Newsmax.
“A lot of people are caught up with the emotional aspect of Barack Obama, the movie star aspect, the false promises that he’s going to take care of everyone and their Mama.”
But when the full story of Obama’s ties to radical preachers such as Wright and to black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan comes out, Peterson believes that Obama’s star power will fade.
“I think there’s more to this story and to Barack Obama than we realize,” Peterson said. “As all the truth comes out before the election, I don’t think he has a chance. I can’t see American’s taking that kind of risk.”
The Obama campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
Percy Sutton Reveals Association Between Khalid al-Mansour and Obama at Age 25
A message and photos (sorry ACT members, the photos didn't come through) from UAC founder Jesse Petrilla:
I'm here at day three of the RNC convention in Minneapolis! I know the UAC is a very diverse and non-partisan group of great Americans, and I'd like you to know that I'm not here as a leader in the UAC, but am here as myself serving as a California delegate. I'm having a great time, and am discussing the jihadist threats and other issues facing America with all the folks here. It's exciting to be here and I'd like to share some of my experiences with you. This email in no way serves as an endorsement of any candidates by the UAC, nor does it serve as any official representation of views from any presidential campaign.
Speaking with other delegates here, my overwhelming impression is that they truly believe our nation is facing a great threat from Islamic militancy on many fronts, with the primary threat not coming from direct acts of terrorism, but from a 5th column stealth jihad which includes our enemies chipping away at our ways of life over a long period of time through tactics which use our laws against us.
Outside this convention are several thousand unorganized protesters screaming for our surrender in the war against jihad, yet unlike us, their message is not united. Myself with several others involved in the jihad resistance went out to toy with the protesters, and speaking with them you could instantly tell they all are at odds with each other and are pushing their individual agendas, and are either grossly uninformed, or are outright filled with hatred. But I and many others would proudly stand up and give my life to defend their right to be there and express their points of view. After speaking with them for a while, we could no longer tolerate their intense hate, not to mention the smell of some of them, and went back inside the convention.
The media here is very tricky, they are constantly asking us questions which they word in order to undermine our positions. Al-Jazeera came up to me and asked me for an interview last night on the convention floor. I laughed out loud and denied their request, politely telling them how I was not their biggest fan.
This event is truly impressive, and it is so wonderful how a small town boy like me can take part in this historic moment of American history.
This experience highlights the stark contrast with our form of government, and of our way of choosing our leaders, compared to the many totalitarian Islamic countries in the world who brutally oppress their citizens under Sharia Law. My heart goes out to the millions upon millions of individuals who I look at as victims stuck as subjects of such countries, who will never know the beauty of such freedom.

an ideologically-based supremacist mindset that demands that societies accommodate them, rather than their assimilating into their host societies. This also reflects sharia law’s requirement that human laws must always be subordinate to Islamic law.
