Syria: Assad is Evil – FSA Rebels are Evil

Laura J. Alcorn the National Director of the America Conservative 2 Conservative (AC2C) social network has posted
three articles pertaining to the Radical Islamic/al Qaeda rebels that seem to control the Free Syrian Army.
I personally have been a proponent of deposing Bashar al-Assad because it throws a monkey wrench into the Iranian machinery for regional hegemony. When the Syrian rebellion began a couple of years ago during the so-called Arab Spring the FSA was a collection of anti-Assad factions that ranged from moderate Sunnis, Syrian Secularists and Radical Muslims. That was the time to throw the full weight of U.S. military support to depose al-Assad. The time in which Military and Intelligence resources could pick and choose which FSA faction or factions to dominate the political-military structure that was emerging that would be more an American ally than an American enemy.
American alliances in the Middle East are in the extreme gray scale of dependability. The ONLY solid ally in the Middle East is Israel. AND Obama’s pro-Arab courting at the cost of Israel’s ability to remain a sovereign nation has not endeared Jewish Israelis to the American government. I mean forcing Israel to give part of their Biblical Homeland including half of Jerusalem – the City of David – is an evil against the Jewish people and it would place Israel in the same precarious nature to exist as the 1967 invasion in which surrounding Arab nations attempted to destroy Israel. Those invading Arabs lost! Their price for loosing was Israel reclaiming traditional land not only according to the Bible, but land that Jordan and Egypt and Syria unilaterally and arbitrarily annexed for themselves and proclaimed it sovereign land. Jordan, Egypt and Syria did this even though the League of Nations/United Nations had a partition plan for what was left of the British Mandate for Palestine to create a sovereign Land for Jews and a sovereign land for Arabs out of that Mandate.
In the novitiate years of the United Nations that international body’s Two-State Solution meant more land for Arabs than Jews; thus whittling down the original British promises for a Jewish Homeland that began with the Balfour Declaration and Jewish technological military help aiding in bringing victory for Britain in WWI against the Germans, Austro-Hungarians and the Ottoman Turks (See Also Jewish-Arab mutual agreement for Jewish Homeland).
So here is the conundrum. Bashar al-Assad’s dethroning as dictator of Syria messes with Iran and reemerging enemy Russia. That is good! An al Qaeda-minded FSA ruling Syria cutting of the heads of Christians, Druze and Alawite-Shia Muslims is evil. Apparently President Barack Hussein Obama has already made up his mind. Old BHO is arming the Radical Muslims of the FSA that is already persecuting Syrian Christians horrifically and Obama has not even secured the FSA as the powerbroker government of Syria yet. Al-Assad is evil. The FSA under Radical Islam is evil. Make no mistake – Assad is murdering and butchering Sunni Muslims as we speak as much as FSA Radical Muslims are butchering Christians and probably Alawite-Shia Muslims.
If Obama grows a spine that is not yellow and he begins perhaps using Special Forces to enable the non-radical element of the FSA to gain control of the Syrian Rebellion then I say go full speed ahead. However and unfortunately, Obama seems to have a penchant to give Radical Muslims a pass in America and in the Middle East; ergo he will probably pull a Jimmy Carter and back the wrong despot. After a Radical Muslim FSA secures Syria with Obama’s help, look to the new al Qaeda Syrian government to begin ethnic cleansing of Sunni Moderates and Secularists, Christians, Druze and Alawite-Shia Muslims. AND then the new al Qaeda Syrian government will probably make some kind of deal with Russia and Iran and start WWIII by invading Israel. Then we will watch Obama’s Foreign Policy completely collapse creating a worse situation for American National Interests and National Security than Iran back in 1979.

Obama-Backed Free Syrian Army Jihadi’s Behead A Christian Man and Feed Him To the Dogs

Ecstatic at news of brother Obama’s decision to send more arms, equipment, money, and military trainers to help the al-Qeada(sic)-linked jihadists of the Free Syrian Army, they celebrated by beheading a Christian and feeding his corpse to the dogs.
Dog Eating Meat
UK DAILY MAIL Al-Qaeda-led Syrian rebels beheaded a Christian man and fed his body to dogs, according to a nun who says the West is ignoring atrocities committed by Islamic extremists. The nun said taxi driver Andrei Arbashe, 38, was kidnapped after his brother was heard complaining that fighters against the ruling regime behaved like bandits. She said his headless corpse was found by the side of the road, surrounded by hungry dogs. He had recently married and was soon to be a father.
Sister Agnes-Mariam de la Croix said: ‘His only crime was his brother criticised the rebels, accused them of acting like bandits, which is what they are.’
Sister Agnes-Miriam, mother superior of the Monastery of St James the Mutilated, has condemned Britain and the west for supporting the rebels despite growing evidence of human rights abuses. Murder, kidnapping, rape and robbery are becoming commonplace, she says. ‘The free and democratic world is supporting extremists,’ Sister Agnes-Miriam said from her sanctuary in Lebanon. ‘They want to impose Sharia Law and create an Islamic state in Syria.’
Sister Agnes-Miriam, mother superior of the Monastery of St James the Mutilated
There have been a growing number of accounts of atrocities carried out by rogue elements of the Syrian Free Army, which opposes dictator Bashar al-Assad and is recognised by Britain and the West as the legitimate leadership.
One of the most effective fighting forces is the Jabat Al-Nusra, which has an ideology similar to Al Qaeda. ‘The uprising has been hijacked by Islamist mercenaries who are more interested in fighting a holy war than in changing the government,’ she said. ‘It has turned into a sectarian conflict. One in which Christians are paying a high price.’
FSA – Radical Muslims?
The rebel attacked the northern town of Ras Al-Ayn, on the Turkish border, last month. The fighters entered the Christian quarter, ordering civilians to leave and leaving their homes. ‘More than 200 families were driven out in the night,’ Sister Agnes-Miriam says. ‘People are afraid. Everywhere the deaths squads stop civilians, abduct them and ask for ransom, sometimes they kill.
Militants wearing black bandanas of Al Qaeda recently laid siege to the Monastery of St James the Mutilated, located between Damascus and Homs, for two days in an attempt to prevent Christmas celebrations, the nun claims.
An estimated 300,000 Christians have been displaced in the conflict, with 80,000 forced out of the Homs region alone, she claims. Many have fled abroad raising fears that Syria’s Christian community may vanish – like others across Middle East, the birthplace of Christianity.

Obama Funding Rebels Loyal To Al Qaeda In Syria, Will Allow 9,000 S…

Obama Funds Al-Qaeda Syrian Rebels And Imports Syrian Refugees To U.S. – Gateway Pundit
In an article about Obama-backed Syrian jihadists who beheaded a Christian and fed him to the dogs, Pamela Geller stated it best:
“If you need a fail-safe formula for determining who the bad guys are – ask what side is Obama on: [...] Christian Andrei Arbashe, 38, was kidnapped and beheaded by rebel fighters in northern town of Ras Al-Ayn on the Turkish border [...] Syrian rebels beheaded a Christian man and fed his body to dogs, according to a nun who says the West is ignoring atrocities committed by Islamic extremists. She said his headless corpse was found by the side of the road, surrounded by hungry dogs. He had recently married and was soon to be a father.”
Every day presents more proof that Obama is on the side of the Islamic caliphate to rule the world and destroy Western civilizations which includes Israel and America. Obama is the enemy within.
Obama recently announced he will be giving away another $300 million of our taxpayer money to the al-Qaeda Syrian rebels which now brings the total to $815 million. Proof that these rebels pledge loyalty to al-Qaeda presented by USA Today.

JihadWatch reports the following:
“Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of” – New York Times, April 28, 2013
Syrian rebels pledge loyalty to al-Qaeda – USA Today, April 11, 2013
Bringing the total to $815 million for the allies of al-Qaeda and proponents of jihad and Sharia. “Obama announces extra $300 million in aid for Syrians, refugees,” by Ian Johnston for NBC News, June 18
:
The U.S. is to give more than $300 million in additional “life-saving humanitarian assistance” to Syrians caught up in the country’s civil war, Barack Obama has announced, taking the total amount given since the conflict began to nearly $815 million.
At the G-8 summit in Ireland, President Obama spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss his goals in intervening in the Syrian conflict. Meanwhile polls show the American public does not want to arm Syrian rebels. NBC’s Chuck Todd reports.
Read more here.
And if this wasteful and dangerous use of our taxpayer dollars isn’t infuriating enough, also consider Obama’s plans to import 9,000 of these Al-Qaeda “refugees” into the U.S. What are the odds Obama will give a background check on these Syrians when he refuses to allow the NSA to spy on the mosques?

Islam Coexists?
Bill Warner provides a brief history of Islam’s existence with other religions. This is an excellent perspective to educate yourself with and gain a better understanding of Islam.

Islam Coexists?
By Bill Warner
April 25, 2013
There is an enormous irony contained in the Boston Marathon bombing. When the jihadi Tsarnaev brothers car jacked a Mercedes, it had a Coexist bumper sticker.
The Coexist bumper sticker is the religious symbol of the multicultural crowd — you know — all religions are the same. Well, the leading symbol of those who want to Coexist is the star and crescent Islam. And exactly how well has Islam coexisted with all of the others? What kind of neighbor has Islam been over history?
Start with Mohammed. We know an enormous amount about Mohammed as a neighbor to Kafirs (non-Muslims), pagans, Jews and Christians.
When Mohammed was in Mecca before he became a Muslim, he was a good neighbor who was prosperous and helped to settle disputes. But, that all changed when he became the prophet of Allah. Once he became a public preacher of Islam, he became an irritant to his neighbors. You see, not only did Mohammed know what was right, he demanded that everybody do everything his way, Allah’s way. He was a neighbor who was always right and you were always wrong. Not only were you wrong, but your parents and grandparents were wrong. Mohammed no longer settled arguments; he created arguments. After 13 years of this, the Meccans told Mohammed to leave Mecca.
So he went to the town of Medina, which was half Jewish. And what kind of neighbor was Mohammed to the Jews? Put briefly, two years later, Medina was Judenrein (cleansed of Jews). When he arrived, there were three tribes of Jews. In rapid order, the first tribe was driven out of town, bereft of their goods. Then the second tribe of Jews was exiled. They were lucky. The last of the Jewish tribes suffered the most. The women were enslaved and sold wholesale for money to purchase horses and arms for jihad. For the rest of his life, Mohammed used slavery to help finance his jihad. The children were kidnapped and adopted into Muslim families to be raised as Muslims. Then the 800 male Jews were all beheaded.
But wait. Mohammed was not through coexisting with the Jews. Later he left Medina and went to Khaybar and attacked them. Mohammed crushed them, took their wealth and put them to work under the Sharia to work as dhimmis and give him half of what they earned.
That was how Mohammed coexisted with the Jews.
But Mohammed was not through with coexisting with the Arabians. He attacked the Meccan caravans. His jihadists killed, kidnapped, stole, assassinated and fought the pagan Arabs at every turn. Mohammed’s coexistence policy with the Arabs was jihad. This went on until every Arab became a Muslim.
After Mohammed has made every soul in Arabia convert to Islam, he turned his coexistence policy to the Christians north of Arabia in Syria. He attacked the Christians the losers became dhimmis just like the Jews.
Dhimmis are the way that the Sharia allows Kafirs to coexist within a Muslim society. The dhimmi is a third class non-citizen who pays special taxes and has no real civil rights. A dhimmi could not testify against a Muslim in court, for instance.
Look at how Islam coexisted with Africa. A coexistence clue is that Arabic has one word, “abd”, that means both black slave and African. Context must supply which meaning is used. Islam ran the slave trade on the West coast, East coast and Mediterranean coasts of Africa. Islam sold every slave that was brought to the Americas. Conservative estimates are that 120 million Africans were killed in the jihad that produced all of the slaves in Africa.
How did Islam coexist with the Buddhists in what is now Afghanistan? Jihad annihilated every single Buddhist and their libraries and monasteries.
There is a massive data base of the coexistence between Islam and the rest of the world at thereligionofpeace.com. It catalogs more than 20,000 jihad attacks around the world since 9/11 2001. Here is a chart of the data of the top 4 nations as victims of jihad:
Put another way, this is how Islam coexists today with Jews, Buddhists, Christians and Hindus. It practices jihad against all non-Muslims, Kafirs.
The idea of coexist has a social ring to it, we’re all one big happy family. But how do we talk about all religions and not get into which one is right or best? Well, there is an easy way to do it. If you are not a member of a religion, the only thing you care about is how you are treated by those who belong to that religion. In short, you only care about the ethics and character of the adherent.
All of the world’s religions have an ethical code that is rooted in the Golden Rule. Islam does not have a Golden Rule. Mohammed’s life is the perfect example of how not to be a good neighbor. How do you coexist with a neighbor who has the ethical choice of jihad of murder and deceit?
What do religious leaders in American think about coexisting with Islam? They love it. Coexist is the mental mush that fills the heads of the useful idiots that go to the Family of Abraham religious dialogues. The ministers and rabbis who go to these dialogs know as much about Islam as what is found on the Coexist bumper sticker. Really, their ignorance is astounding. They are there to coexist and the imam is there to dominate. Dhimmi Christians and Jews want to tie, the Muslim wants to win.
But the mental mush of coexistence is not just in the heads of the dhimmi religious leaders, it also fills the heads of law enforcement and military. Under Bush and Obama, all of those who actually know something about Islam inside the military and law enforcement have been eliminated. FBI and military training files have been purged to satisfy the Muslim Brotherhood. So our protectors are forbidden to study the war doctrine of political Islam. They are prevented from naming the enemy and studying them.
There is only one way to coexist with Islam over time. Islam must submit to Kafir civilization and we must never submit to Islam, not even in the smallest detail. This means we must all know the smallest details of Islam and that begins with the knowledge of Mohammed and his wars against all Kafirs.

Anomalies, Martyrs and Terrorism
Although Justin O. Smith does not mention the term “Islamic Supremacism,” that is what he is actually writing about in this essay.

Anomalies, Martyrs and Terrorism
By Justin O. Smith
April 8, 2013 at 1:53pm
The greatest threat to the national security of the United States is not Al Qaeda terrorism, but rather the Islamic faith itself, especially now since Barack Obama seems intent on advancing Islamic interests in our nation over those of American citizens; all of us missed numerous warning signs over three decades leading up to the heinous attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11, however, through the lens of history and present day events, one cannot deny the definitive proof of the violent imperialism intrinsic to Islam. And, despite the number of times anyone asserts in clichéd terms that “not all Muslims are terrorists and not all terrorists are Muslims,” the fact remains that America is today less secure than it was on what many Muslims refer to as “the Tuesday of God’s glory.”
Many people are often beguiled by Islamists’ explanations of terrorism. Harrison Akins, Ibn Khaldun Chair Research Fellow at the American University in DC, would have us believe the assertions of Akbar Ahmed, Chair of Islamic Studies-American Univ, that terrorism is mainly a product of tribal dynamics and codes and a fight for “their rights,” rather than anything emanating from the edicts of Islam. This sort of victimology dismisses the fact that supposedly “civilized and educated” Muslim doctors, lawyers and engineers have engaged in terrorism, the “intellectual elite” supported Iran’s Ayatollah Khomenei and U.S. and European educated Islamists/Muslim Brotherhood members have risen to power and the top positions within Egypt’s present day government. Then there is Remziya Suleyman.
Remziya Suleyman is the director of the Tennessee American Muslim Advisory Council, and since 2011 she has worked towards Sharia law in Tennessee as well as proselytizing and presenting Islam inside U.S. public schools. She states that she is “working for religious freedom for Muslims… even if everyone else’s religious and constitutional freedoms are abridged in the process.” Suleyman also involved Hamas affiliated CAIR in her protest at the Tennessee capitol against the anti-terrorism bill.
Although there are many current cases of attempted terrorist acts by islamofascists residing in the U.S., two older cases are more relevant in light of the recent focus on U.S. border security:
On July 28, 2004, custom officials in McAllen, Texas arrested Farida Goolam Mohamed Ahmed at the airport, when they noticed her South African passport lacked an official entry stamp for the United States. It was soon discovered that this Muslim woman had entered the U.S. illegally; she proved to be a terrorist courier operating between the Middle East mujahadeen and an Al Qaeda cell in New York, as she sneaked into the U.S. nearly 300 times before her arrest. Information from her interrogations led to the arrests of several Al Qaeda agents in Mexico.
Also in 2004, during a search for the terrorist Al Qaeda member, U.S. citizen and nuclear technician known as Adnan el-Shukrijumah, another key Al Qaeda operative, Sharif al-Masri, was arrested in Pakistan. Masri had close ties to al-Zawahiri, Al Qaeda’s second in command, and during an interrogation he disclosed that Al Qaeda had made arrangements to smuggle tactical nuclear weapons from Mexico to the U.S. with the help of the Mara Savatrucha Latino street gang.
During the 1970s, India fought a fierce war with her Muslim citizens, until the regions known today as Pakistan and Bangladesh were won by the Muslims. Bangladesh, originally tied to Pakistan politically and under the same government, soon fought an internecine war for independence due to Islamic doctrinal differences. And now today, the Muslims currently living in India are attempting to claim the rest of India and impose Sharia law; the conquest never stops!
Just this year, the world has seen new Islamic generated conflicts, as Uighur Muslims in western China (near the Afghanistan border) have stirred in a move towards independence, the Islamic Maghreb and Taureg rebels temporarily held the northern half of Mali and the Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar have attacked the Buddhists. Although the following has occurred often over the centuries, on April 6, the Muslims in Egypt also once more felt compelled to mount an unprovoked attack on Egypt’s Coptic Christians.
On January 13, 2013, America was once again forced to watch Muslims mock our U.S. Constitution, as Mustafaa Carroll, Executive Director of CAIR/Dallas-Ft Worth area, stated at an Islamic rally in Austin, Texas: “If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land.” He also dismissed critics of Sharia law as being “anti-foreign.” But one should also note that numerous current and ex-FBI agents, such as Mike Rolf (‘Muslim Mafia’) and John Guandolo have referred to CAIR offices as “a turnstile for terrorists and their supporters.”
In February 2013, a Syrian born Arab-American woman and psychiatrist, Dr. Wafa Sultan wrote in part in ‘The Rutherford Reader’: “I do not view Islam as a religion. Islam is a political doctrine, which imposes itself by force. Any doctrine whatsoever that calls to kill those who do not believe in it is not a religion.” This same view is held by Stephen Coughlin, Navy War College lecturer, Lt Colonel Matthew Dooley, Joint Forces Staff College, Shireen Burki (JFSC), General William G. Boykin (ex-Commander/US Special Forces), myself and many others across America.
A few years ago, Salman Rushdie gave a lecture on C-SPAN from New York. The complete essence of his message was that when a Muslim moves from the Middle East to any place else, say Shelbyville or Murfreesboro, Tennessee, he is not looking to take advantage of the American way of life to better himself. Rather, he sees himself as part of the advance guard to spread Islam to his new country, whether he arrives legally or illegally; it is long past time that we demand of our leaders the expulsion of all Muslims not holding U.S. citizenship!
Some of the world’s so-called “intellectuals” saw a seeming shift within the ummah/worldwide Islamic community, when The Islamic Society (operates Denmark’s largest mosque) and Minhaj ul Quran (Danish offshoot of a Pakistani anti-blasphemy group) denounced the failed assassination attempt on Lars Hedegaard, an anti-Islam polemicist, and they defended his right to speak freely; however, America and any nation that harbors Muslims should not take away too much hope from this anomaly, because, holistically, an easily estimated 400 million islamofascists across the globe still don’t mind burning or beheading people simply on the charge of blasphemy, adultery, insulting Mohammed or apostasy… and, three-fourths of the remainder stand back and allow it in tacit approval.
America needs a few extremists of Her own to grasp the mantle of truthful, credible leadership… men and women who exhibit various combinations of eloquence, strategic vision, patience, combat record and managerial skills. Remember Senator Barry Goldwater’s words delivered to the 1964 Republican National Convention: “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” This is not to suggest we recruit our own murderous terrorists after the fashion of Mariam Farhat, Palestinian Legislative Council member and “Mother of Martyrs” (died March 17, 2013 in Gaza City), who encouraged three sons to die in suicide attacks against Israel and told her four year old grandson in 2004, “You will be a martyr one day.” It simply means we fight with every means available to save our nation and our freedom, not shrinking from combat in any arena that may prove necessary, as we hope for the emergence of a leader the caliber of Washington, Jefferson and Reagan… a leader who understands that while there may be shades of opinion among Muslims, as a totalitarian system of thought Islam has remained unchanged for 1200 years, and there is no such thing as a peaceful, tolerant, coexistent and “moderate” Islam”!

What are YOU Going to Do About Christians in Pakistan?
John R. Houk
© March 21, 2013
Shamim Masih writes this message that is dripping with the blood of helpless frustration for the lot of Christians in Muslim dominated Pakistan. Shamim’s description is that of the classic dhimmi status that non-Muslims must suffer through in Pakistan (and for that matter all Muslim dominated nations).
Shamim goes on to lament of the near ZERO support Western Christians provide Christian-Pakistanis when in fact Muslim NGOs and charities are flowing with cash via Western government programs. NONE of that aid flowing to Pakistan reaches Christian-Pakistanis.
At the very end of Shamim’s message he saves a sentence for Pastor Terry Jones and his supporters. For those who do not know who Pastor Terry Jones is; he is the person that has spearheaded such activities as International Burn the Quran Day, Trial of the Quran Day, promoted the sophomoric anti-Mohammed movie trailer Innocence of Muslims and various Counterjihad events. Jones is usually decried by Leftists, Conservatives and most Counterjihad writers all alike. Jones’ critics typically would name him as a Counterjihad activist but rather as an Anti-Islam bigoted activist.
Here is the thing though. I don’t care if Jones’ antics are viewed as bigotry because I view Islam as an Anti-Christ religion. On the other hand I understand Shamim’s criticism of Terry Jones as well. Jones has gotten a lot of national and international press attention even if that attention is disseminated by a Liberal Diversity Multicultural in a negative light. Jones’ attention eventually ends up on Muslim media. As you should know by now Islam wears its feelings like a chip on the shoulder and their religious leaders go nuts that a non-Muslim/kafir like Terry Jones would dare to insult their prophet, their Allah or their holiest book the Quran. They go so nuts that if they could they would grab Terry Jones and torture him with humiliation and chop his head off.
As Shamim Masih points out, in lieu of not murdering Terry Jones in humiliation, Muslims are stirred up to take out their wrath on whatever local Christians that can be found. AND that is the reason Shamim Masih mentions Terry Jones. The life of a dhimmi Christian in Pakistan is often similar to hell on earth. If one of us Christian-Americans were stuck in Pakistan during one of these death inflicting violent Islamic temper tantrums, you and I might think we missed the rapture and was stuck through the Tribulation.
AND SO if you are one that supports Terry Jones’ First Amendment Right to disrespect an Anti-Christ religion like Islam, we must consider the Christians stuck in dhimmi-like conditions in Muslim nations. We need to begin funneling money to Christian NGOs which often act as the only Human Rights organizations that put action to alleviating the second-class citizenship persecution that Christians receive on a regular basis in Pakistan (and for that matter all Muslim dominated nations).
Western support and I should say American support, is the point of Shamim Masih’s message I am posting below.

Pakistani Christians and Western Interests
By Shamim Masih
Sent: 3/20/13 2:57 PM
ISLAMABAD PAKISTAN (SHAMIM MASIH): Its general perception among Pakistani Muslims that UN, USAID, British High Commission, American Embassy, Christian diplomats and other foreigners are helping Pakistani Christians, but the reality is different. Let me give you the actual situation.
On February 6, 1997, a religiously charged mob attacked village Shantinagar, district Khanewal in which about 800 houses including churches, hostels were torched. In November 2005, in Sangla Hill, about 100 Christian houses, schools, hostels, and Christian Clinic were burnt. On 1st August 2009, Christians were attacked in Gujra and 8 persons of a family were burnt alive and about 130 houses were turned to ashes. On 30th June, 2000, Christians were attacked in village Bahnamiwala, District Kasur in which about 102 houses were destroyed. On 21st September, 2012, Church, school and Pastors residences were turned to ash. And more recently, on March 9, 2013, over 200 homes of the Christians community of Joseph Colony in Lahore were burnt.
Ironically none was punished under the law for such gory episode; these barbaric attacks have sent a grave message to the already marginalized Christians. The sense of insecurity has alarmingly grown beyond proportions. The blasphemy law has been repeatedly used for settling personal scores, religious persecution, professional rivalry and for land grabbling.
This is not the end; large numbers of Christians accused of Blasphemy cases getting their lives rusted in the jails for years and years and there is no future to their children or other family members.
I am freelance journalist, Christian by faith and a social activist working for a democratic, tolerant and progressive social order and for socio economic and political rights of religious minorities especially for the Christians of Pakistan. I have devotedly served in the field of human rights during the last decade and have been raising their issues, persecutions, and rights through my writings, without any support.
I feel very helpless and ashamed when I received phone calls and emails from Christians all around the country for help in employment, protection on threats from fundamentalists, help for their children educations etc but I can’t support them. I remain silent for hours on reading email/news of the blasphemy victims who are behind bars or acquitted from higher courts but living in hiding to save their lives. The news items of rape and enforced conversion of Christian women make me sad and silent. I went to Gojra and had travelled to Mardan, when the church burnt there and went to Karachi, when Ryan was accused of blasphemy case and have reported on Badami Bagh incident as well; I write for the people whom I have seen working on ground realities, for example, CLAAS has been working for years for the Christians persecution, WVIP is seen during the Ryan case and others as well, I have seen Sardar Mushtaq (chief of LEAD), working for persecution without any funds, Basharat Khokhar was seen during Rimsha case, and I appreciate his efforts in protecting her during the case proceedings and I have seen him struggling him for Christian rights, but there are so many other settling scores. I have seen the struggle of Albert David for unity among Pakistani Christians. I have seen Saleem Khokhar, sitting in provincial parliamentarian; he bears ground to earth personality. I am helpless when hear the reports of Muslim culprits of gang rape of Christian girls walking free from courts. (Even those were set free who killed Shahbaz Bhatti ex-minister).
Role of our churches, local and NGOs: It’s time to think twice that what NGOs under Christian supervision, Churches and political leadership are doing? Where all funds are going which Christian civil society, Churches have been receiving in the name of poor Christians. How many Christian institutions are facilitating Christian’s students? Why are Western governments denying visas to acquitted blasphemy victims? It caused me to think; is USAID for Muslims in Pakistan? When their slogan is “From the American People” is all American people sending for Muslims? If not, then why is the Christian youth not receiving (on the link scroll down to “Pakistan”) scholarships for education, funds for business, employment in their offices? Why there is no program for Christian youth? Why do Western Human Rights champions keep silent on rape and enforced conversion of Christian women? Why is it that a common Christian has no reach to embassies and if someone applies for visa, why is it refused, because, a poor Christian has no property and no strong background? Isn’t it? Why is UNO [United Nation Organization] silent on killing of Christians and the attacks on Christians worship places? A million Christians are crying in Pakistan against the blasphemy law, extrajudicial killings, wrongful confinements and discrimination but UNO remains silent.
It’s just an example: I worked for “People to People International” PTPI and didn’t receive even a single penny on the other hand a Muslim running a chapter “Punjab chapter” in Gujranwala Pakistan, have got thousands of dollars and have done nothing on the ground. He got visas dozens of times and has taken many Muslims with him to many countries dozens of times. I applied for a visa US in 2010 and was refused. Furthermore not only this visa denied but my “Islamabad Chapter” was revoked just because of the reason of the visa application. In all of the UN organization and USAID, there are 90% Muslims employed and 99% of them are Pathans.
No one dares to ask NGOs like ILAP [See Also HERE and HERE] governed under Christian supervision, how many Christian employees they have? No one bothers to pursue Christian institutions in Rawalpindi when they push out Christian students for not paying their fees. Are these institutions just for business purposes or is there any sense of security/realization for Christians students? How many Christian’s students are studying in Jesus and Mary Convent in Islamabad/Rawalpindi Pakistan? We don’t have the right to ask our Christian politicians what they have done for Pakistani Christians. These Christian politicians were selected ones and their selection didn’t come in through Christian votes but rather through paying huge funds (collected in poor Christians name) to Muslims Parties. This practice of [buying political positions] is still going on……. They are too many Christians looking for a gateway through paying funds to Muslim political parties.
Pakistani media normally do not highlight Christians’ issues. This is why there is no powerful electronic and print media for their rights. We don’t have a platform to print or give stories about the oppressed and persecuted Pakistani Christians. I usually write for the oppressed and persecuted Pakistani Christians and I am thankful to the Pakistan Christian Post, Salem-News, ANS, Global Christian Voice, John Houk, and Wilson Chaudhry, taking the pain for Pakistani Christians and they are highlighting their stories/issues.
During my writing work, I have been receiving threats from Muslims but I am also being hit by the people sent by imported so-called Christian Politicians, who have delivered nothing yet wanted to stop me from writing the facts.
It is observed during the said time period that all these institutions have their vested interests. It could be political, geographical, or whatsoever it is, but not for Pakistani Christians.
This is less a criticism and more an appeal to all Human Rights organizations to take notice of incidents of victimization of Christians and support them. Because when your “American” Terry Jones burns a Quran, you don’t suffer but we Pakistani Christians do.
Be Blessed,

Islamic Supremacist Propaganda to Choose a Lie
John R. Houk
© March 18, 2013
Islamic organizations in America spew propaganda about ‘Islam is peace’ to deceive American non-Muslims (who Muslims address as ‘kafir’) all the time. You need to realize that Islamic holy writings such as the Quran, Hadith and Sira address kafir in a negative light.
Now if you are faithful to another religion other than Islam it would be normal to address the Islamic religion in a negative light. For instance I am a Christian and I view Islam as an Anti-Christ religion even if it is politically incorrect as proscribed by Islamic Apologists, Diversity and Multiculturalist Leftists.
The difference between my beliefs on non-Christians and Islam’s beliefs on non-Muslims is the difference between spiritual warfare and physical-corporeal warfare.
The Biblical plan for non-Christians is forgiveness, prayer and non-violence against the enemies of Christ. Now I realize history shows that those that call themselves Christians as a political force have not followed the guidelines of the Biblical plan. God have mercy on those ill gotten decisions.
ON THE OTHER HAND
The Quranic-Hadith-Sira plan for non-Muslims is to present the option of willing conversion, barring that – submitting to Islam in absolute honor above the religious beliefs adhered to OR die for rejecting submission.
With this in mind you need to read this post at the Shoebat Foundation that reports that Pamela Geller’s counter-ad campaign against a local CAIR group’s Muslim propaganda that Islam is peace is making
headway.
CAIR has been advertising on public busses and billboards that Islam is peace and that the concept of jihad is primarily a spiritual inner struggle to overcome sin or evil. The truth is the concept of jihad is a struggle to convert the humanity of the whole earth to the despotism and submission of Allah as developed by the false prophet Mohammed. Thus Islam’s history is a picture of Islamic command to violence against non-Muslims in conquest and the punishment of Muslims that do not tow the Sharia Law line of living a Muslim lifestyle.

Memorial Day for Martyrs Day
Shamim Masih writes about a Memorial Day for Pakistani-Christian Martyrs killed as a result of Islamic Supremacism in the Muslim majority nation of Pakistan. Below is Shamim’s article. After Shamim’s article I am going to make the attempt to add more details to the Christian Martyrs Shamim writes about.

Memorial Day for Martyrs Day
Pakistani activists hold joint memorial service to remember slain Pakistani Christians
By Shamim Masih
Sent: 2/26/2013 2:23 PM
Islamabad Pakistan (Shamim Masih): The courageous person who sacrifices his life for values of religion or rights of community secures very unique respect and honors of a “Hero” in society and becomes part of history. The generations pay tributes to sacrifices of martyrs and celebrate their anniversaries to remember them.
§ Martyr Feroz Masih, who was killed by Karachi Police firing in front of Governor House on Feb 13, 1997.
§ Bishop John Joseph was mysteriously murdered by secret agencies of Pakistan on May 6, 1998 in Sahewal city of Punjab province of Pakistan.
§ Martyr Nawaz Masih and Martyr James Masih were not bishops or high profile Christian leaders but common laymen who had love for Christian nation in Pakistan.
§ Shahbaz Bhatti, Federal Minority Minister, was assassinated on March 2, 2011, in Capital city Islamabad.
In recognition to their struggle for Pakistani Christians, religious leadership and human rights activist hold a joint memorial service to remember the slain Pakistani Christians on 23rd February, 2013.
Basharat Khokhar, a human activist said whenever a nation is in crisis their martyrs become a ray of hope and successes to launch a new campaign to successfully resolve issues but nation which forget their martyrs have always faced failure as history records. We as Pakistani Christians remember our martyrs, he added.

Here are some more thoughts on the Martyrs listed above.
Feroz Masih
We are observing the 15th anniversary of Martyr Feroz Masih, who was killed by Karachi Police firing in front of Governor House on February 13, 1997, during a peaceful protest procession against a Muslim mob attack on a Christian village, Shanti Nagar in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Amidst clouds of tear gas shelling and police firing on Christian protestors, hundreds were rendered unconscious, dozens were injured, whilst nine received bullet injuries and more than 1,000 were arrested. Feroz Masih was among those nine critical bullet wounded Christian who were rushed to JPMC Hospital where he died with his one hand fastened to his bed in a police hand cuff.
Feroz Masih was not any politician or Church leader or an activist of any foreign funded non- government organization, or any political party leader or any federal minister in government or any tool of the Pakistan establishment, but an honest Christian who had a passion for the oppressed Christian nationals in Pakistan and love for his fellow brothers who were victimized in village of Shanti Nagar – hundreds of miles away from his home in Karachi. Feroz Masih had never ever met any of the suffering Christians of Shanti Nagar, nor was he hoping for their votes to seek any public office in the national assembly or provincial assembly or any district council, but still he felt their pain and took to the streets on February 13, 1997, to ensure justice and basic equal democratic rights in Pakistan for which he sacrificed his life. (Excerpted from: In memory of Pakistan’s martyrs; Nazir Bhatti; British Pakistani Christian Association; 5/22/13)
Chief of Pakistan Christian Congress and Chairman Martyr Feroz Masih Award Committee announced the names of nominated persons for first Martyr Feroz Masih Award. PCP Report.
…
The award is in the memory of the sacrifice of Martyr Feroz Masih who was killed by the Karachi Police firing on peaceful protest procession of PCC against Shanti Nager village attack by the Muslim fundamental group on February 13, 1997 before Sindh Governor House. The PCC central council at meeting in Karachi passed a resolution to inaugurate Shaheed Feroz Masih Award for remembrance of his precious life sacrifice for Christians in Pakistan. The resolution also added to press for the demand of the arrests of the killer police officials involved to gun down Feroze Masih and injuring many on Feb. 13, 1997. This is the first award nomination, which shall be continued in future every year in month of February, and award distribution ceremony shall be held in Pakistan and also in the foreign countries as per decision of Martyr Feroz Masih Award Committee.
… (Pakistan Christian Post; February 14)
Bishop John Joseph
Rev. Dr. John Joseph, 66, Catholic bishop of Faisalabad and a high profile human rights activist, shot himself dead in the dark corridors of a sessions court in Sahiwal (700 kilometres from the capital, Islamabad) at about 9:30 p.m. on 6 May 1998 in protest against the death sentence recently given to Ayub Masih on 27 April for blaspheming Islam. This is the same spot where Ayub Masih, a Christian of his diocese, was shot at on 6 November 1997.
Bishop John Joseph travelled to the city of Sahiwal in the afternoon of 6 May from his residence in Faisalabad. He went to address a prayer meeting for the Christian parishioners there specially organised for the victims of blasphemy cases. Since the early 1990s when Section 295-C of the Pakistani Penal Code was amended, making the death sentence mandatory for the offence of blaspheming Islam, dozens of non-Muslims have fallen victims to the often-abused blasphemy laws. And the bishop was deeply shocked by Ayub’s verdict.
At dinner time on 6 May, Bishop John Joseph had little appetite as according to the parish priest, Fr. Yaqoob Farooq, O.P.. After others had had their meals, the bishop asked Fr. Yaqoob to accompany him to the spot of the court-house where Ayub Masih was shot at exactly six months ago. On reaching close to the vicinity of the sessions court, the bishop asked Fr. Yaqoob to stay back and went to the spot himself. Moments after, Fr. Yaqoob heard a gun shot. He then rushed to the spot and found the bishop had shot himself in the neck. According to Fr. Yaqoob, Bishop John Joseph was instantly dead.
On hearing the news of the bishop’s death, the Christian populace of the city gathered at the spot in the court-house. As of 12:35 a.m. of 7 May, the Christians there refused to remove the dead body until the prime minister would come personally to express his sorrow. Bishop John Joseph, a human rights activist well-known locally and internationally, was the founding chairperson of the National Commission for Justice and Peace under the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Pakistan, and he remained in office since its establishment in 1984.
Bishop John Joseph had led two nationwide protests of the Christian community and even went on hunger strike for the cause. The first protest was in 1992 against the government’s proposal to include a column for one’s religious faith in the national identity cards. Christians and other minorities in the community thought that the new identity card system would lead to further victimisation of religious minorities in Pakistan. The second nationwide protest was in 1994 against the murder of Manzoor Masih, a Christian tried on blasphemy, outside the court right after the court hearing on 5 April 1994.
On 20 March 1998, Bishop John Joseph led … (Excerpted from: PAKISTAN: Bishop John Joseph’s Protest Against Victimisation of Minorities; Human Rights Solidarity; 8/24/01)
Fourteen years ago, around the time young Rimsha Masih, now in jail under Pakistan’s blasphemy law, was born, a Roman Catholic bishop walked into a courthouse in Sahiwal, quite close to my hometown in Central Punjab. The Right Rev John Joseph was no ordinary clergyman; he was the first native bishop in Pakistan and the first ever Punjabi bishop anywhere in the world. He was also a brilliant and celebrated community organiser, the kind of man oppressed communities look up to as a role model. Joseph walked in alone, asking a junior priest to wait outside the courthouse. Inside the court, he took out a handgun and shot himself in the head. The bullet in his head was his protest against the court’s decision to sentence a fellow Christian, Ayub Masih, to death for committing blasphemy. Masih had been charged with arguing with a Muslim co-worker over religious matters. The exact content of the conversation cannot be repeated here because that would be blasphemous. The bishop had campaigned long and hard to get the blasphemy law repealed without any luck. He wrote prior to his death: “I shall count myself extremely fortunate if in this mission of breaking the barriers, our Lord accepts the sacrifice of my blood for the benefit of his people.” (Excerpted from: How to commit blasphemy in Pakistan; By Mohammed Hanif; The Guardian; 9/15/12 15.00 EDT)
Nawaz Masih and James Masih
Nawaz Masih and James Masih were the first Christian Martyrs of modern Pakistan – they were killed by Police in Rawalpindi who opened fire on a peaceful protest procession of Christians protesting against the nationalization of missionary Schools, Hospitals and Colleges during the ZA Bhutto government in 1972. This protest procession went out from Gordon College Rawalpindi and marched towards Governor House to present a memorandum against the nationalization of Christian institutions.
Like Martyr Feroz Masih, Martyr Nawaz Masih and Martyr James Masih were also not Bishops or high profile Christian leaders but common laymen who had a love for the Christian people in Pakistan. The families of Nawaz Masih and James Masih were not supported by any Christian political groups or indeed the Bishops, who had been enjoying benefits of Christian institutions and living like feudal lords. It is very unfortunate that no Christian clergy or associations have ever celebrated or marked anniversary of these Martyrs. (Excerpted from: In memory of Pakistan’s martyrs; By Nazir Bhatti; British Pakistani Christian Association; 5/22/12)
Shahbaz Bhatti
Today, March 2, is the one-year anniversary of the murder in Pakistan of 42-year-old Shahbaz Bhatti. Still no one has been charged with the crime, much less tried and held accountable.
On March 2, 2011, Bhatti, the minister of minorities affairs, and the only Christian member of Pakistan’s cabinet, was ambushed and assassinated by gunmen as he sat in a car outside his mother’s house before leaving for work.
Bhatti’s work, his life’s work, was to struggle for equality under the law for Pakistan’s various religious minorities. He had often expressed his opposition to Pakistan’s notorious blasphemy laws and persistently sought to reform them. Like Punjab’s governor Salman Taseer — who had been murdered in January 2011 — he had championed the case of Asia Bibi, the mother of five sentenced to death for blaspheming Islam’s prophet, a charge brought by other villagers with whom she had a property dispute.
He had waged a strong campaign for the repeal of the blasphemy laws, both in the government and as the longtime head of the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance, a non-governmental organization. He saw the blasphemy laws – which only protect Islam — as potently divisive to Pakistan’s society. They are used as a platform within the society for extremists to determine which ideas can be expressed and which cannot, and they are used by ordinary citizens to pursue vendettas and personal grievances.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for Bhatti’s killing. Two weeks ago, Interpol agents arrested, in Dubai, Zia-ur-Rehman, and a few days later Pakistani police took custody of Abid Malik, two Pakistani suspects in the murder. But the case is far from solved. Dubai has already released Rehman. An Islamabad police official, who requested anonymity, told Pakistan’s Tribune:
“To treat them [the two] as prime suspects would be wrong. We have no evidence to suggest that they were involved in the murder even though they could have certain issues with him,” said the police official . . . They had differences with Bhatti over property issues, “but they were not capable of carrying out such a high-profile assassination,” said the official. “Investigations regarding the case were muddy and not carried out in a proper manner, some evidence points towards sectarian or militant violence,” he added.
Meanwhile, Shahbaz Bhatti’s old post of Minority Affairs has been abolished, Asia Bibi languishes on death row, and Pakistan sinks ever deeper into radical Sunni Islam. And, the blasphemy arrests continue apace: … (Excerpted from: Pakistan’s Honorable Shahbaz Bhatti, Murdered with Impunity One Year Ago; By Nina Shea; National Review Online; 3/2/12 12:08 PM)
…
A Bishop from Pakistan has called on his country’s government to catch the killers of Christian human rights campaigner Shahbaz Bhatti.
Bishop Sebastian Shaw, Apostolic Administrator of Lahore, told Aid to the Church in Need that almost two years on no one had been tried for his murder – and gave his blessing to a 2 March event in London commemorating Mr Bhatti’s life and work.
Bishop Shaw said: “Nothing has happened yet, but we ask the government of Pakistan that the killers be arrested and brought to justice.”
Mr Bhatti, federal minister for minority affairs, was murdered in Islamabad on 2 March 2011 after calling for clemency for Asia Bibi, the first woman to be sentenced to death under the country’s blasphemy laws.
Abid Malik, who was arrested on suspicion of Mr Bhatti’s murder, was cleared of the charge in February 2012.
Bishop Shaw said that a few months ago the press in Pakistan suggested his killer may have been from outside the country.
He added: “We are very sad for what has happened to Shahbaz Bhatti, who was martyred.
… (Excerpted from: PAKISTAN: Still no justice for Shahbaz Bhatti; By John Newton; Aid to the Church in Need; 2/18/13)
Shamim Masih has brought our attention to the cruelty that Christians experience in the Muslim nation of Pakistan. Pakistan treats Christians in the classic style of dhimmitude which is a policy to humiliate non-Muslims to the point that the life of Christians is miserable and also ends in death for the glory of Allah. The Human and Civil Rights of Christians are nearly non-existent in the face of Islamic Supremacism.

Don’t bury your head in the sand
Shamim Masih writes about Islamic Supremacist prejudice in education in Pakistan.
JRH 2/26/13
***********************
Don’t bury your head in the sand
Memorize the Quran for twenty extra marks; educational bias
By Shamim Masih
Sent: 2/26/13 5:42 AM
Islamabad Pakistan (Shamim Masih): In the month of January, the news was printed in “Daily Nai Baat” Islamabad/Rawalpindi that forty three (43) Christian students [were] compelled from the examination hall [to memorize the Quran for educational marks] in 4 different Christian schools, Sainte Marry Cambridge School (8), Sainte Patrick School (16), and Sainte Teresa’s Girls High School (19) in a just Rawalpindi city.
Haroon Arif, a student from DG Khan in Punjab, couldn’t get high enough marks to get into medical school, which [he] missed the grade by less than 0.1%, would have earned 20 extra marks if he was Hafiz-e-Quran [SlantRight Editor: this is a reference to one who has memorized the Quran]. He tried to claim his knowledge of the Bible was equivalent, but this made no impact.
This is a standard situation for many young Pakistani Christian students. When you can’t afford private school and Christian’s schools do not own you, tell me where shall we go?
Christian minority believed to be much more than the estimated figures of 13% (
http://www.pakistanchristianpost.com/vieweditorial.php?editorialid=18
) of Pakistan’s 180 million populations. However Pakistani census internationally keeps minority figures low to deny them greater representation. The unabated killings and persecution of religious minorities and smaller sects of Islam raise questions about Pakistan’s regressive direction. The audacity of the killers and state inaction are even more worrying. Many Christian girls were kidnapped, raped and converted to Islam by force and even killed.
Recent statistics about education facilities and its status is alarming. It said that Pakistani Christians are the least educated Pakistanis:
a) 6% have a primary education
b) 4% have a high school education
c) 1% has a college education
d) 0.5 have a professional education
If we use these statistics as a benchmark to get some perspective on the seriousness of the problem and make a few further calculations the conclusions are mind blowing. If we assume that 2.5% of the total population is Christian there are about 4.5 million Pakistani Christians in total. Taking the statistics given 11.5% or five hundred thousands have some kind of education which means that 4 million Christians do not have any kind of education what so ever. That’s more people than the population of many countries and requires urgent attention:
http://www.pehchaanfoundation.com/index.php/dr-jordan-patrick/
In the present scenario, we a group of likeminded people [have] taken initiative to provide books, stationary, school bags and uniforms to the deserving Christian student of the area. Before starting the new term (new classes) in Rawalpindi/Islamabad, we have selected 25 Christian colonies in and around the twin city. In each colony quite a number of Christian students [are] willing to go to school but due to the lack of resources the drop [out] rate [is] becoming higher and higher, parents do not have proper source of earnings and can’t afford high school fees and [the] feel burden on buying books for their kids.
They usually engage their kids to add in earnings instead [of] sending them to school and colleges. Existing institutions Christians [are] following [are] adding classes [for the socially] rich in their schools and thus discouraging the poor Christian students; this situation is not only creating inferiority complex in their minds but also pushes them to go for some unethical activities like drugs etc.
So I request the Christians in the world to support the Pakistani Christian Students for their better future.

Terry Jones: Bigot or American Christian Patriot?
John R. Houk
© October 13, 2012
Terry Jones is the “Burn the Koran Pastor”. Terry Jones is running for President. The combination of the two pieces of information has kind of made Jones a joke not to be taken seriously. It probably does not help Jones’ aspirations by being very supportive of the Mo Movie Innocence of Muslims. Look at the picture of above. That white hair and thick white handlebar moustache gives him the appearance of a modern day John Brown. 
Now here’s what I think about Terry Jones. I am not a happy camper with Islamic Supremacism and the West’s tendency to kowtow to a religion that bills itself as peaceful yet everyday one can read or view Muslims in Muslim lands persecuting non-Muslims in the most horrendous of ways as well as treating non-Muslims and women in general as second class individuals with little to no rights of free expression. Islamic Apologists and Leftist Multiculturalists insist we non-Muslims respect and not offend Muslims less out of concern about the free expression of Liberty and more out of the high probability Muslims will go berserk in the streets expressing their … err … cough … religion of peace. Burning a Quran or two isn’t killing someone as Muslims do when they go berserk with Islamic Supremacist anger over being insulted.
I wonder would happen in a Christian majority enclave in Muslim Egypt if the Christians went on a rioting rampage if a few Muslims kidnapped a young Christian gal or numerous Christian gals to be forced to convert to Islam and then forced into marriage? I will tell you what will happen. So-called peaceful Muslims would form a pogrom like mob and maybe even get some help from Egyptian law enforcement and rampage through a Christian enclave pillaging, raping and killing. The West’s reaction to such Muslim aggression will be to offer some slap on the hand verbiage while Christians are being slaughtered then look the other way.
And yet this small potatoes Joe American and pastor of a small Church of 50 drives Muslims into a murderous rage and Left Wing diluters of the 1st Amendment into a rage to limit Free Speech by burning a Quran. Can anyone see the disparity in the cause and effect and to really criticize?
Anyway I’m a bit behind the curve by discovering an email from Stand Up America about Terry Jones going to Dearborn (Dearbornistan) MI to confront a High School community for punishing non-Muslims for fighting back when Muslims jumped and bullied them. Of course Edsel Ford High School and the Dearborn city and police officials deny this view. The denial is not unusual because when Christians go there to exercise their Free Speech and Religious Freedom Rights Dearborn’s Mayor and Police Chief have demonstrated a poor record in defending the 1st Amendment while looking the other way as Muslim mobs try to shut down Christians from exercising their Rights in the typical Islamic Supremacist fashion of violence.
The excerpted email reads like this:

Questions for Dearborn ~ Terry Jones
Stand Up America Now will be coming, today, to Edsel Ford High School, in Dearborn, Michigan, to protest the bullying of non-Muslim students. This is typical of the Islamic population as it grows in numbers.
We have been contacted by another parent of an Edsel Ford High School student concerning Muslim bullying and fighting that occurred there, on the same day, in May 2012 which required the Dearborn Police Department to respond.
Here are excerpts from the email:
“…my son and others were jumped and suspended for the remainder of the year and faced charges for racial intimidation and incite to riot. The arabic children returned to school. I fought this, given the fact that my son has been called nigger on several occasions and the response was “they didn’t mean it like that” but when I ask that they take the context in which my son said something the context is not considered. They try to desensitize my child to a word that provokes violence but defend the arabs. NOT right. My daughter is called slut and whore when she participates in cheer because she shows too much skin when visiting Salina on East dearborn. I am fed up with this district and HAPPY it is being exposed. Finally maybe something will change and the country will recognize there is a problem in this community.”
As we see the outbreaks of violence in the Middle East concerning the film “Innocence of Muslims”, here in America and in western countries, we see a definite lack, again, of Islam condemning those terrorist attacks.
Let us join together, stand up and protect our rights in America of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press.
On October 11th at 6:00pm ET, we will be at Queens Park, in Toronto, Canada, where there is also a Muslim problem.
Location of Dearborn protest:
Edsel Ford High School

Dearborn, MI 48124

“Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don’t want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.” U.S. General George S. Patton, June 5th, 1944
I wish I could have posted this in time for what few readers I have to also promote the rally to demonstrate against Muslim bullies.
The link in the email goes to an October 9 post at Stand Up America that adds a bit more detail:
Questions for Dearborn ~ Terry Jones
Submitted by Fran
2012-10-09 16:13
Why did Dearborn’s mayor, chief of police, and Edsel Ford High School principal officiate a special meeting at Edsel Ford last evening?
Why have parent volunteers been recruited to supplement a massive policing effort tomorrow?
Why were student volunteers sent to each classroom at the high school today to explain what is happening and the special rules for tomorrow to students?
Why are Edsel students talking about being on lockdown tomorrow or about not coming to school because of swat teams being there?
Why will students will be dismissed from the back of the school? Why will police be around the entire campus and surrounding streets? Why will there be behind scenes security inside and out of the building?
Why did the school principle say that he was not aware of any tensions between the students at the school, when much of the parental concern at the meeting was not about Pastor Jones and his message, but with the tension caused by the racism and bullying?
How could the principle not be aware that last spring a group of white Christian students were bullied by aggressive arab Muslim students, out of shot of the hall security cameras, the white students were suspended and expelled but the Muslim students were sent back to class?
How could the principle not be aware that also last spring a group of black Christian students were bullied by aggressive arab Muslim students, the local police were called in to help, the white students were suspended and expelled but the Muslim students were sent back to class?
How could the principle not be aware that Christian and Jewish students are bullied in Dearborn on the streets and in the schools if they wear signs of their religious faith, crosses or kibbahs?
Why were 90% of the parents in attendance at last night’s meeting white in a school that is 95% arab Muslim? Where were the Muslims parents saying their children were not bullies and there is no problem with Terry Jones coming there because we are such a tolerant group of people?
Why did the Mayor belittle Terry Jones, at the meeting, saying, untruthfully, at past rallies Terry Jones has acted like a thug, provoking people? Why did the Mayor later change his story stating that Terry Jones and his supporters are typically quiet and very well behaved in their actions and demeanor?
Why are many supporters of Terry Jones blocked by police and barricades from joining Terry Jones at free speech events? Will this happen tomorrow? Why are those who disagree with Terry Jones not allowed to come and express their opinion and talk with him at events? Does this police action not violent citizen’s first amendment rights?
Why does Dearborn deny there is a problem with Sharia and Muslims when there is such a drama and panic because Terry Jones wants to stand on a sidewalk and say there is a problem with Sharia and Muslims?
If sharia and Muslims are tolerant, why is criticism of sharia and Muslims and their Prophet Muhammad not tolerated?
Terry Jones may flash anti-Islam just as John Brown flashed abolition just prior to the Civil War, nevertheless Jones’ in your face wake-up call to expose Islam as an anti-American (i.e. anti-Bill of Rights – particularly the 1st Amendment) religion, but he has the guts to risk being labeled a lunatic to expose that Islamic incompatibility with American culture. In case you missed or forgot you primary school taught history, abolition was an American movement to free the slaves. Abolitionists were considered extremists right up until the Civil War between the States began in 1861. Even Northern anti-slavery minded people considered abolitionists on the extremist side.
In order to confront Islamic Supremacism it may be time to take a 21st century abolitionist approach to prevent the portions of Islam that contradict the U.S. Constitution from being practiced in the USA.
Here is an account of Terry Jones’ visit to Dearbornistan that is not in the tank for Islam. It is good to look at a view of Jones as a truth speaker rather than an inciter.

Jones Takes on Dearborn Again
By T.R. CLANCY
October 11, 2012 7:59 PM
Wednesday’s rally by Terry Jones of Stand Up America! outside Edsel Ford High School came and went without dramatic event. Jones’s stated purpose for the rally was to call attention to bullying of nonMuslim students by Muslim students. Jones wanted to meet with the principal, who refused, and then wanted to meet with students while they were boarding buses after school got out, but he was forbidden to enter school property.
I expect most of that was school officials wanting to keep Muslim students away from Jones – not from fear of Jones, who has never been validly accused of any violence towards anyone – but to avoid a repeat of the Children’s Crusade of bottle and rock-throwing that broke out last summer when the “Bible Believers” at the Arab American Festival found themselves under attack.
Credit where it’s due, the Dearborn Press & Guide’s Joe Slezak has done a much more balanced job of covering yesterday’s event than other local media. (“Jones visit to Dearborn’s Edsel Ford High uneventful”).
For one thing, Slezak identifies at least two Dearborn parents who express support for Jones, citing their own experience of having children bullied by Muslim students, who apparently are treated with impunity in most schools. According to Jones, a third parent had emailed Jones “about an incident in May where their son, who is black, was suspended. She said that Arabic students called their son a racial slur several times and when he fought back, he was suspended but the Muslim students were not.” The presence of actual school parents supporting Jones lends credence to his stated reason for staging it, in spite of the popular notion that Jones is only doing this to get publicity.
Even if Jones is trying to get publicity for himself and his organization, (don’t most causes try to do the same? – look at the way BAMN shows up at EVERYTHING), that doesn’t mean that the problem he came to protest doesn’t exist.
Granted Jones that appealing a champion. But remember that he’s first and foremost a messenger. A distinction must be made between his message, and the wacky persona the media and Islamist leaders are trying to paint on him. His detractors call him a loon and a publicity hound to gain two objectives by foul means: it makes it easier to disregard anything he says, and it scares away potential supporters who aren’t willing to face guilt by association with a person certified a lunatic by the liberal media and the Islamophile left.
But Jones’s message is not loony, nor crazy, nor, based on anything I’ve heard him say or that’s been quoted, is his message much different from our message or the message of many other anti-jihad sources. Nor is it a message of hate. It isn’t hate to be critical of a religion that’s in love with bloodshed and death.—and that maintains its religion-of-peace image behind a wall of lies.
Jones’s message at the rally, for instance, includes this (as reported in the Press & Guide and the Free Press:
§ “Muslims need to obey and respect laws of communities.”
§ “Islam is not a religion that tolerates any criticism.”
§ (Explaining his support for “Innocence of Muslims”): “Criticism is part of Western society.”
§ Muslims have a difficult time integrating into communities.
§ As a Muslim community grows, it [becomes] more demanding.
§ There is a “radical” element of Islam that is violent and bans free speech.
§ “The Quran does teach that the Muslims are the best of all people.”
As far as I’m concerned, every one of those statements is a testable fact. Every one of them can be supported with ample documentary and historical evidence. Take away Jones’s General Bullmoose mustache and his endorsement of that crummy movie and his overall hard-guy image, and his message shouldn’t be controversial at all. It’s only upsetting for those already pre-disposed to object to any criticism of Islam.
Which unfortunately includes the media and most Dearborn public officials.

What Is the Dearborn Underground?
We of Dearborn Underground are citizens of a patriotic, Midwestern American small town whose culture, local government, and especially its media, have been overrun by a cartel of bullies who’ve demanded that the only voices heard in Dearborn will be their voices: the voices of CAIR and the ADC–the voice of Al Jazeera–the voice of global Islamic Jihad. As a consequence, the voices of Dearborn’s majority, maybe even your voice, have been silenced and excluded from the public forum by editors and gatekeepers, perhaps from terror of being accused of Islamophobia. We have no desire to silence Dearborn’s Muslims, but their leaders insist that our opinions, or any opinions that offend them, must be censored. Muslim activists have even persuaded state legislators to introduce a resolution intended to criminalize criticism of Islam in the press.
We at Dearborn Underground are trying to resist some of that. We don’t know what’s wrong with our leaders, our legislators, our newspapers, if it’s that they’re they’re scared of beng called names, craven political opportunists, or just Costco-sized weenies. We don’t care any more. We’ll speak for ourselves now.
We don’t hate anybody, we aren’t anti-immigrant, we aren’t religious bigots, and most of us are even rather pleasant if you got to know us. But we also know that our country is under attack by determined enemies–enemies who boast openly about what they’ve got in mind for us and our allies, namely, a grim choice between death and Sharia law.
But many of the same threats and lies spouted by religious leaders way over there in Tehran, in Gaza, or in videos from Pakistan, are being said right here in Dearborn by Muslim leaders, and … READ THE REST
The Problem with Islam

Yesterday I cross posted a Fjordman article in which he talks about “Islamophobia” as the actual game plan of Islam rather than as an epithet used by Leftists and Muslim Apologists to propagandize that counterjihad writers are bigots and racists.
Today I am cross posting an Andrew Bostom article in which he demonstrates fear is the key portion of Islamic theology using warfare to acquire land and making that land Islamic.
Islam is the only world religion in which war and fear is a part of the theology specifically to spread Islam globally. Muslim Apologists love to point out that Judaism had a martial plan to take the Promised Land from the Canaanites; however that plan was localized was not to go beyond that physical land mass AND that conquest was not to spread Judaism but acquire the Land promised to Abraham. The timing of Jewish conquest of Canaanland coincided with the fullness of ungodly sin lived by those Canaanite nations.
The Islamic conquests of Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and Zoroastrian lands were not the result of moral turpitude of those religions. The people of non-Muslim theology had a moral line that made the Canaanite religion of sacrificing children and temple prostitution look Satanic. The great moral contrast between the above mentioned religions and Islam is that they refused to accept Mohammed and Allah willingly. Without accepting Islam – the Quran, Hadith and Sira – the death cult requires conquest until submission is attained. And friends this is the problem with Muslim dominated nations today. These folks still live with the concept of Islamic Supremacism with an inferior military to do the bidding of the Quran.
The new strategy of Islam via its purists is to use terrorism and infiltration to create a situation in which terrorism wears down the non-Muslim culture in preparation for a conquest.
Why should Westerners put up with that? Why should Americans put up with that?
Now here is Andrew Bostom’s article.

“Islamophobia” is a Sacralized Islamic Objective
By Andrew Bostom

Forget about “Islamophobia” as a social ill akin to racism. The creation of fear of Islam is a sacred obligation of faithful Muslims. Fjordman reminds us how the great contemporary Dutch scholar of Islam Hans Jansen, has observed that the Koran, for example 8:60, the verse alluded to in the Muslim Brotherhood emblem,
…actually commands Muslims to instill fear of Islam “Islamophobia” into the hearts of non-Muslims, using any means necessary to force them to submit to Islam’s might.
Koran 8:60 states,
“Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of God and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom God doth know.”
This motif — instilling terror in non-Muslims — is repeated in verses such as 3:151 and 8:12:
3:151 “We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve because they ascribe unto Allah partners, for which no warrant hath been revealed. Their habitation is the Fire, and hapless the abode of the wrong-doers.”
8:12 “(Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, ‘Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.’”
Muhammad reiterates this directive in the most important canonical hadith collection (Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220), stating, “I have been made victorious with terror.”
Furthermore, according to the earliest and most authoritative pious Muslim biography (or “sira’) of Muhammad, Ibn Ishaq’s “The Life of Muhammad,” Islam’s prophet ordered the killing of the poet Kaab b. al-Ashraf, for writing “offensive” poetry:
…the Apostle of Allah — may Allah bless him and grant him peace — said, “Who will take care of Ibn al-Ashraf for me?” “I shall,” answered Muhammad b. Maslama, the brother of the Banū Abd al-Ashhal. “I will kill him.” “Do it then, if you can,” he [Muhammad] said.
After the brutal assassination, which Muhammad commissioned, Ibn Ishaq quotes this approving observation from the Muslim assassin:
The Jews were terrified by our attack upon Allahs enemy. And there was not a Jew there who did not fear for his life.
The Koran, hadith, and sira — Islam’s most important foundational sources — thus mandate Islamophobia to be inculcated amongst non-Muslims as a “sacralized” objective.
Why?
Ibn Heady a 14th century Granadan author of an important treatise on jihad, elucidated the allowable tactics which facilitated the violent, chaotic jihad conquest of the Iberian peninsula, and other parts of Europe:
It is permissible to set fire to the lands of the enemy, his stores of grain, his beasts of burden – if it is not possible for the Muslims to take possession of them – as well as to cut down his trees, to raze his cities, in a word, to do everything that might ruin and discourage him…[being] suited to hastening the Islamization of that enemy or to weakening him. Indeed, all this contributes to a military triumph over him or to forcing him to capitulate.
And these repeated attacks, indistinguishable in motivation from modern acts of jihad terrorism, like the horrific 9/11/01 attacks in New York and Washington, DC, and the Madrid bombings on 3/11/04, or those in London on 7/7/05, were in fact designed to sow terror. The 17th century Muslim historian al-Maqqari explained that the panic created by the Arab horsemen and sailors, at the time of the Muslim expansion in the regions subjected to those raids and landings, facilitated their later conquest,
Allah thus instilled such fear among the infidels that they did not dare to go and fight the conquerors; they only approached them as suppliants, to beg for peace.
Contemporary validation of this principle of jihad as described by Ibn Hudayl, and al-Maqqari — rooted in the Koran — (for example, verses 3:51, 8:12,and 8:60) — i.e., to terrorize the enemies of the Muslims as a prelude to their conquest — has been provided in the mainstream Pakistani text on jihad warfare by Brigadier S.K. Malik, originally published in Lahore, in 1979.Malik’s treatise was endorsed in a laudatory Foreword to the book by his patron, then Pakistani President Zia-ul-Haq, as well as a more extended Preface by Allah Buksh K. Brohi, a former Advocate-General of Pakistan. This text — widely studied in Islamic countries, and available in English, Urdu, and Arabic — has been recovered from the bodies of slain jihadists in Kashmir. Brigadier Malik emphasizes how instilling terror is essential to waging successful jihad campaigns:
Terror struck into the hearts of the enemies is not only a means, it is the end in itself. Once a condition of terror into the opponent’s heart is obtained, hardly anything is left to be achieved. It is the point where the means and the end meet and merge. Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon the enemy (sic); it is the decision we wish to impose upon him…
“Jehad,” the Quranic concept of total strategy. Demands the preparation and application of total national power and military instrument is one of its elements. As a component of the total strategy, the military strategy aims at striking terror into the hearts of the enemy from the preparatory stage of war…Under ideal conditions, Jehad can produce a direct decision and force its will upon the enemy. Where that does not happen, military strategy should take over and aim at producing the decision from the military stage. Should that chance be missed, terror should be struck into the enemy during the actual fighting.
…the Book [Quran] does not visualize war being waged with “kid gloves.” It gives us a distinctive concept of total war. It wants both, the nation and the individual, to be at war “in toto,” that is, with all their spiritual, moral, and physical resources. The Holy Quran lays the highest emphasis on the preparation for war. It wants us to prepare ourselves for war to the utmost. The test of utmost preparation lies in our capability to instill terror into the hearts of the enemies.
Today, this true doctrinal and historical meaning of Islamophobia has undergone an Orwellian transformation. Our media and political elites, cowering in submission to the cultural jihadist dictates of the mainstream Muslim Brotherhood front groups which dominate institutional American Islam, now claim “Islamophobia” is an unwarranted, even discriminatory fear of Muslims and their creed.

Hector Aleem Update 10/3/12
Here is the continued injustice in Pakistan that is actually persecution of Christians. Hector Aleem finally had a lawyer and a judge to participate in a bail hearing. The unexplained result for Hector – DENIED!
This is becoming frustratingly crazy. I wish Mehwish could get a hold of more details as to Hector’s current charges and the reason bail was denied.
My fellow Christians that live in a culture that is free to worship with worry of retribution from Islam, Hector’s plight should engender righteous indignation. Hector’s incarceration has gone on long enough.
Mehwish please send us the address of who to contact who can read English to get some answers pertaining to this egregious persecution of Hector Aleem.

Hector Aleem Update 10/3/12
Yesterday was Hector Aleem’s hearing for bail in High Court, the judge who was in favor of Mr. Hector was not there. The judge was changed and the new judge was not in our favor so he rejected the bail, I don’t know on what grounds he rejected the bails but all I know is we have to wait for maybe 3 to 6 more months because the judge from lower court has not arrived yet. I don’t know what will be his further step, we have not decided yet. We have not talked to the lawyer about it yet. What will be our further activity? That will be posted here when it is decided. Still I have to pay his previous fee that was $400, brother Shane is paying some amount and sister Susan has already donated, those who can or want please follow the link,
