December Shocker: Art Therapy Fails to Reform Muslim Terrorists!

 

"Free the Gitmo prisoners! They're innocent!" That's what people were chanting not too long ago. So the U.S. started releasing inmates left and right. Lo and behold, they've been popping up ever since in terrorist attacks. So what was the government's brilliant plan to rehabilitate these violent Muslims? You guessed it. Art therapy. No, I'm not joking. Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement that vowed more attacks on Americans. American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia where they entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation program" and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials.

Muslim Radicalization Gains Momentum in the US

 

Of course, CAIR got to distance themselves from their more Sharia-minded brethren, but all in all, this seems to be a solid article. Props to Google and the AFP. Long-feared by US intelligence, Muslim radicalization is gaining momentum in the United States, hit by a spate of recent cases featuring youths recruited and trained overseas for jihad, analysts say... Some analysts say the United States has been slow to respond and still has little understanding of the scope and nature of the problem. "Twelve warning signs is 12 too many," said Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism expert at Georgetown University in Washington. "For too long, I think we may have been complacent in the United States, thinking this was a problem that occurred elsewhere and that it wasn't a problem we really had to address in the US," he added, acknowledging it was difficult to determine the extent of the development.

Christian Hoteliers Cleared of Insult Charges against Muslim Woman

 

Notice the chain of events. A Muslim woman insults Christianity by saying that Jesus was only a prophet and that the Bible is unreliable. The Christians respond by criticizing Muhammad and Islam. The Muslim then complains and files charges for insulting her religion. Fortunately, this instance of legal jihad didn't work. Christian hoteliers accused of insulting a Muslim guest for wearing the hijab and berating her for her beliefs were dramatically cleared this afternoon. Benjamin and Sharon Vogelenzang denied using threatening, abusive or insulting words which were religiously aggravated against white British Muslim convert Ericka Tazi, 60. . . . Mrs Tazi, who converted to Islam when she married a Muslim 18 months ago, was staying at the hotel while she attended a pain management clinic at Aintree Hospital for her fibromyalgia. She claimed Mr Vogelenzang called the prophet Mohammed a murderer and a warlord and likened him to Saddam Hussein and Hitler. But the couple denied her version of events and claimed Mrs Tazi told them Jesus was a minor prophet and that the Bible was untrue. Read More. Since Mrs. Tazi doesn't believe that Muhammad was a murderer or a warlord, I have to wonder what the terms "murderer" and "warlord" mean in her dictionary. Anyone got some definitions that wouldn't apply to Muhammad?

The Myth of the Anti-Muslim Backlash (vs. Actual Facts)

 

Whenever Muslim terrorists kill a bunch of Westerners, their fellow Muslims immediately start complaining about an impending backlash against Muslims. This is largely due to the way many Muslims think. When someone does something that offends a Muslim (e.g. drawing a cartoon of Muhammad), there's an immediate backlash against non-Muslims, often involving a worldwide killing spree. Thus, Muslims assume that other people think like literalist Muslims do, and that since many Muslims kill at random when offended, so will the rest of the world. Fortunately, the anti-Muslim backlashes rarely occur. Indeed, Muslims struggled to come up with instances of anti-Muslim hate crimes after the Fort Hood Massacre, and the best example they found was a Muslim woman who had her scarf tugged in a grocery store. This is startling evidence of Western tolerance. But the statistics are even more staggering. According to an FBI study on hate crimes, it's actually much safer to be a Muslim in America than a Jew in America: There were 1,606 hate crime offenses motivated by religious bias in 2008. A breakdown of these offenses shows: 65.7 percent were anti-Jewish. 13.2 percent were anti-other religion. 7.7 percent were anti-Islamic. 4.7 percent were anti-Catholic. 4.2 percent were anti-multiple religions, group. 3.7 percent were anti-Protestant. 0.9 percent were anti-Atheism/Agnosticism/etc. Yet, while the majority of religiously-motivated hate crimes are directed at Jews, we hear relatively little complaining from Jews. Muslims, on the other hand, proclaim their mythical mistreatment from the rooftops, in an effort to keep the peace until the next terrorist attack. Note: The population of Jews and Muslims in America is roughly comparable. According to CAIR, in 2001 there were 6-7 million Muslims in the US, and according to Jewish American Yearbook, in 2006 there were 6.4 million Jews in the US.

Women In Egypt Taking Self Defense Classes to Defend Themselves from Harassment by Muslim Men

As Muslims in the West strive to spread Islam, more and more facts about the Muslim world make this unappealing. CAIRO--The grunts and groans of women stop several men in their tracks and send them jostling for a better glimpse at the window. Inside is a group of people who could not be less pleased to see them: a self-defence class for Egyptian women. "Your body language has to be strong," Mary Elsouyem, the teacher, says. "The moment they start trouble, you send a harsh message letting them know that their behaviour is not acceptable." Her class, which meets once a week in the upper-class Cairo neighbourhood of Maadi, is one of dozens that has been started across Cairo. Eight other women were learning with The Times: five wore veils, one was a Coptic Christian, another was three months pregnant. All the women said that they faced harassment daily. "I thought it was so normal for us to take this abuse. We've let the men get away with it for too long," Sarai Khella, 23, who was brought up in central Cairo, said. For years she kept her head down while men hissed and catcalled on the street. . . . A study conducted by the Egyptian Centre for Women's Rights in Cairo reported that nearly 83 per cent of Egyptian women and 98 per cent of foreign women said that they had been sexually harassed in Egypt. More than 62 per cent of men who were surveyed admitted that they had harassed women. The study found that regardless of what women wore they were still hit upon. Approximately one third were wearing a headscarf and conservative clothing and one fifth were in a full veil and cloak. SOURCE. Notice that your chances of being sexually harassed if you are a woman visiting Egypt are close to one hundred percent. Notice also that a woman's dress is irrelevant to whether Muslims harass her.

Muslim Rapes and Kills Young Pakistani Boy in Mosque Bathroom after Eid Prayers

 

One of the most common claims by Muslims in the West is that the West needs Islam to correct all the immorality here. But when we turn to the Muslim world, we find rape (of both boys and girls), throwing acid in women's faces, beating women, murder, torture, slavery, etc. A young Pakistani boy was raped and killed in the bathroom of a mosque in Dubai on Friday. The man who allegedly raped and murdered the six-year-old boy has been arrested. Dubai Police said they received information that a Pakistani child was found dead in the bathroom of a mosque located in Al Qusais on Friday. When the police reached the mosque, a man told them that he had come to the mosque for Zuhr prayers and that when he went to the bathroom to prepare for it, he saw traces of blood on the floor after which he saw the child behind the door. The boy's pants had been removed. The police, upon entering the bathroom, noticed that the child had been raped. They took the body to the General Department of Forensic Medicine and launched an investigation. Later, a Bahraini national was arrested on the suspicion of committing the crime. He confessed to the crime during interrogation. He said he consumed alcohol late into the night on Thursday and went to the mosque to perform Eid prayers on Friday and returned home. He continued drinking alcohol and later went out to visit his friend to celebrate the festival. Around 9:30am, he left his friend's house and went to the mosque. He saw three children on the street, who asked him for Eid gifts. The man told the police that he saw a boy, whose age he guessed to be around nine. He told the boy that he had no money on him but he would give money if the latter followed him. He then took the boy to the bathroom in the mosque, locked the door and raped him during which he covered the boy's nose and mouth with his hands to prevent him from screaming. He later noticed that the child had stopped moving, so he left him there and fled the scene. He returned home and had a shower. The suspect told the police that he did not know the boy and that day was the first time he had seen him. He also confessed that it was not the first time he had had forcible sex with males. Source. Muslims need a better argument. We have no reason to think that the spread of Islam will make any country better, especially when Muslim countries lead the world in human rights violations.

VIDEO: Muslim Woman Stabs Jewish Guard

Of course, if a Jewish woman had stabbed a Muslim guard, Muslims would be calling for the death of Israel (oops, they already are). But it's perfectly acceptable for Muslims to attack Jews, since Jews are persecuting Muslims by refusing to hand over the state of Israel. (Note: Muhammad said that he would expel all Jews from the Arabian peninsula, which is perfectly acceptable to Muslims. But if Jews expel Muslims from a square inch of Palestine, it's "Death to Israel.") Is anyone starting to think that Muslims are inconsistent, and that they only care about Muslims? YNet News--The two-minute video shows the guards checking the woman's items in an x-ray machine. When they shift their gaze from her for a moment, she seizes the opportunity to quickly pull out a knife and attack. A Magen David Adom paramedic told Ynet on the day of the incident, "The guard was lying on the ground with a stab wound to his lower abdomen, and the young female terrorist was apprehended. The guard was in great pain; he was in a state of shock." According to the rescue services, the stab wound was 5-centimeters deep (about 2 inches). The guard was treated at the scene and later evacuated to Jerusalem's Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem in moderate condition. The assailant, a 21-year-old resident of the West Bank town of Ramallah, was taken in for questioning by the Jerusalem Police. Source.

Muslim Father Calls for Son's Death for Apostasy

Wait a minute! Western Muslims keep telling us that Islam doesn't promote the death penalty for apostasy! What's this I'm reading? MONTREAL -- In Lamine Yansané's hometown of Boké in Guinea, his father is a revered imam who sometimes leads Friday prayers. But after Mr. Yansané married a Catholic woman and abandoned Islam for Christianity, his father disowned him, and Friday prayers have featured a call for his death, the Federal Court heard yesterday. Mr. Yansané, who has been denied refugee status, is seeking a last-ditch reprieve on the grounds that he faces certain harm if he is deported from Canada. "If you return him to his country, he is going to die," Mr. Yansané's lawyer, Stewart Istvanffy, told the court. He called his client "a victim of radical Islam, who is threatened by the imam of his town, his own father." READ MORE. Hmmm. This makes me want to open up my Muslim sources and see if Western Muslims are trying to deceive me. Ackkk! Look what I've found! Sahih al-Bukhari 6922—Muhammad said, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him." Sunan Abu Dawud 4337—The Apostle said: Kill those who change their religion. Sunan an-Nasa'i 4025—Muhammad said: "After me there will be many calamities and much evil behavior. Whoever you see splitting away from the Jama'ah or trying to create division among the Ummah of Muhammad, then kill him, for the Hand of Allah is with the Jama'ah, and the Shaitan is with the one who splits away from the Ummah, running with him." Sunan Ibn Majah 2535—It was narrated from Ibn Abbas that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever changes his religion, execute him." Al-Muwatta of Imam Malik 36.18.15—The Messenger of Allah said, "If someone changes his religion—then strike off his head!" But surely Islam would never command Muslims to carry out such penalties against their own relatives! Let me check the sources. Sunan Ibn Majah 2540—It was narrated from Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah said: "Carry out the legal punishments on relatives and strangers, and do not let the fear of blame stop you from carrying out the command of Allah." Whoa! It seems someone's been lying to us about what Islam teaches! But surely a religion would never allow its adherents to lie in order to protect themselves and their religion. Would it? Would it?

"Revolution Muslim" Posts Our Video, But Refuses to Debate!

 

I just don't get it. They live in New York, I live in New York. They claim that Islam is true, I claim that Jesus is Lord. They like to argue, I like to argue. It would seem, wouldn't it, that some public debates would already be in the works? Not at all. I contacted them, but they didn't respond. And they're even posting our videos now! Amazingly, while many liberal Muslims can't stand these guys because of their views, I actually respect them for proclaiming what Islam really teaches. I hope that they will eventually gain enough confidence to defend their views in public debate. As things stand, they only seem willing to debate their fellow Muslims. I think Sam and I will challenge them publicly next time on "Jesus or Muhammad." *****UPDATE***** Well, I finally heard back from our friends at "Revolution Muslim." Yes, they refuse to debate, and they gave the classic "You-reject-Islam-so-there's-no-point-in-debating-you" excuse. Then the leader called me a "nigger" and threw many other insults at me (not to mention my mother!), in an email worthy of Nadir Ahmed's website. As it turns out, I was totally wrong about these guys. Based on the video I had seen, I assumed that they were intelligent young Muslims eager for dialogue and debate. After receiving a single email, I see that they are spoiled children eager for attention, but not knowledgeable enough to discuss their beliefs rationally. They have no business sharing the podium with anyone.

Thousands of Muslims Shout "Death to America" During Their Peaceful Hajj

The attack by Major Nidal Malik Hasan is confusing to Western media because Islam is so incredibly peaceful. As everyone knows, most Muslims love freedom, America, and apple pie. Isn't it strange, then, that Muslims had nothing to do during the Hajj but shout "Death to America"? Actually, they did have something else to do. They also shouted "America is the enemy of Allah," "Israel is the enemy of Allah," and "Death to Israel." Notice in the video that these chants rank alongside the Shahadah in importance. But shouldn't these dedicated Muslims realize from reading the Qur'an that Islam condemns violence and killing? Where's CNN's Arsalan Iftikhar when we need him to distort the Qur'an to make it sound peaceful? Oh, he's busing convincing non-Muslims that Islam is peaceful. He has no time to convince his fellow Muslims.

Arab Fest 2009: Asking Muslims Questions

 

Arab Fest 2009: Asking Muslims Questions On our first day at the Arab Fest, we saw a booth that said "Islam: Got Questions? Get Answers". At that booth was a pamphlet preaching that Islam is a religion of peace. In this video, I briefly analyze the inconsistency of the pamphlet, and attempt to give the booth a chance to explain their errors. NOTE: This topic would have been covered much more in depth had the people at the booth actually engaged in conversation. Please do not comment that we didn't cover enough information and fully ...
