Imam Educates the President on Islam: The Koran Promotes Terrorism and the Killing of “Innocents”

September 16, 2014 by TMLC

In the beginning of his speech last week on the threat of ISIS (or ISIL), President Obama told Americans:

“Now let’s make two things clear: ISIL is not “Islamic.” No religion condones the killing of innocents…” 

He is wrong on both counts.  And he knows it.  He is doing a disservice to the American public and our “war” effort.  If our Commander-in-Chief refuses to honestly identify the enemy, we are not going to win this war in the long run.  That’s because even if we destroy ISIS there will be other Islamic organizations to take its place. 

The reason: Islam is a religion of violence.

I can only conjecture that the President’s comments were meant to pander to American Muslims and anesthetize the American people to the true internal threat posed by Muslims within our gates.

But British Imam Anjem Choudary set the President and the American public straight in this short video clip. 

In the clip from a recent interview on RT’s (formerly Russia Today) Worlds Apart, Choudary, told the world the truth about Islam that so called “moderate” Muslims in America have been trying to hide.

When asked if the beheading of American journalist James Foley was justified under Sharia law, Choudary said:

“Every action for a Muslim must be based on the Koran, the word of Allah and the teachings of the messenger Mohammad … But those who are already Muslim must know that Allah mentions in the Koran, in fact if you look at Chapter 8 Verse 60, he said prepare as much as you can the steeds of war to terrorize the enemy. So, terrorizing the enemy is in fact part of Islam. I mean, this is something that we must embrace and understand as far as the jurisprudence of jihad is concerned.”

Regarding “innocents” there are none.

The Imam explains:

“The thing that people need to appreciate is that in war the Muslims are not distinguishing in general between civilians and military because those very civilians are those who put the people in charge and those people in charge like Obama and others are sending the troops to Muslim countries so they don’t making (sic) that distinction; let alone between people who are journalists, who are considered to the right hand in fact and the propaganda machine of the Obama Administration.”

The Koran commands Muslims to engage in a holy war (Jihad) in order to impose Islam and Shariah Law on the entire world.

 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.” (Koran 9:5)

Interestingly, the President’s counter terrorism advisor, John Brennan (now Director of the CIA), during a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, argued that the terms “jihadist” or “jihad” should not be used to describe America’s enemies.  His reason: jihad is a holy struggle and a legitimate tenet of Islam.  It sure is. And jihadists are America’s enemy.

Remembering 9/11 is Not Enough … We Must Destroy Radical Islam

September 10, 2014 by TMLC

 

 

September 10, 2014

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the horrific September 11, 2001 attack on America and the God-given freedoms we so cherish.  We remember with anger and anguish the nearly 3,000 Americans murdered by Islamic terrorists. We also remember and honor those first responders, many of whom lost their lives trying to save others.

 Interactive timeline of events on 9/11

This is also a time to remember the thousands of American soldiers who were killed, wounded or are still suffering, in the ensuing wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and places unknown. We honor those who answered our Nation’s call to Arms.  We also remember the sacrifices made by their families.

But this is a time for more than just remembering.  This is a time to rekindle the flame of retribution until the threat of Islamic terrorism is wiped from the face of the Earth.

In his speech from the Oval Office, on the evening of the September 11th attack, President George W. Bush proclaimed:

“Today, our nation saw evil — the very worst of human nature — and we responded with the best of America.” 

Yet, the evil President Bush spoke about still exists, and in many ways it is getting stronger.   Moreover, the internal threat posed by radical Islam is greater than ever.

 

Our government just doesn’t want to admit that the 9/11 attacks and the barbaric massacres committed by ISIS are sanctioned by the Koran’s mandate to wage Jihad (holy war) against non-Muslims. 

 

In December 2005, four years after 9/11, then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Peter Pace explained to an audience at the National Defense University,

 

 “To talk about how we are going to proceed, we need to understand the nature of the enemy. And clearly, the nature of this enemy is different than any we have faced in the past …. Our enemies had declared war on us years before, but the attacks in New York, in the skies over Pennsylvania and here in Washington, D.C. brought home very clearly to us that we were at war.”  

 

 

General Pace went on to warn,

 

“I say you need to get out and read what our enemies [Islamists] have said. Remember Hitler. Remember he wrote Mein Kampf. He said in writing exactly what his plan was, and we collectively ignored that to our great detriment. Now, our enemies have said publicly on film, on the Internet, their goal is to destroy our way of life. No equivocation on their part. They’re not saying if you stay home, we will not come after you. They are saying their goal is to rid the Middle East of all foreigners. Then, overthrow all governments that are not friendly to them, which means every single one of those governments. Then, to use that base as a way to spread their terrorism and their oppression across the globe to include a map that shows 100 years from now that the entire globe will be under their domination.”

 

 

 Islam is a religion of violence: 

  • “[D]ismember [the American] nation, tear them apart…destroy their embassies…shoot down their planes…kill them on land, at sea, and in the air.  Kill them wherever you find them.”
  • Islamic cleric Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman (The Blind Sheikh)
  • Muslims must “destroy those who follow democracy, and we must take their followers as enemies — hate them and wage a great jihad against them.”
  • Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi, Palestinian theologian

     

  • “The real matter is the extinction of America.  And, God willing, it will fall to the ground.”

  • Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar

 

Our government dishonors the memory of those killed in the 9/11 attacks when it refuses to clearly identify the enemy:

 

  • Numerous Islamic terrorism experts who gave hundreds of presentations on Islam’s true threat to America are now banned from speaking at government counterterrorism classes and conferences.

  •  When Muslim U.S. Army Major Nidal Hasan, shouting “Allahu Akbar,” killed 13 fellow soldiers and wounded 30 in the Fort Hood massacre, the government called it workplace violence. 

  • The FBI purged 876 pages and 392 presentations that were deemed offensive to Islam.

  •  The Pentagon ordered all training material used by military professional colleges and combat units scrubbed of any content offensive to Islam.

Ever since 9/11 the Thomas More Law Center has been fighting against the internal threat to our nation posed by Radical Islam.   And we will continue to do so.   


Please pray for our Armed Forces who stand guard against the threat of Radical Islam, and their families waiting for a their safe return home.

God bless America!

ISIS, James Foley and the President’s Tepid Response to the “Religion of Peace”

August 20, 2014 by TMLC

ISIS BEHEADS American Journalist James Foley in Video Message Released By ISIS

 

August 20, 2014

As ISIS videotaped the brutal beheading of an American journalist, its spokesman, in perfect English, warned President Obama and the American people that more deaths are coming if the US does not submit to their demands. The President’s tepid response this afternoon was disappointing.

Even at this time of sorrow for the barbaric murder of Jim Foley, President Obama could not help but to give credence to the “good cop/bad cop” routine which Muslims have consistently used to blunt our ability to effectively deal with the true threat posed by radical Islam itself. 

But Obama’s approach is not new.  For years Americans have endured the deception spewed out by politicians pandering for Muslim votes, our own government, and Muslim apologists that “Islam is a religion of peace”. . .

             . . . even as fellow Americans were being blown to bits and murdered by Islamic terrorists, from the 9/11 attacks, to the Fort Hood massacre, and the Boston Marathon bombing.

And now, James Foley. 

WWII could have been prevented and millions of lives saved if only our leaders had taken more seriously what Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf and said in his speeches. 

Koran-believing Muslims consider the slaughter of Americans moral and holy.

Let’s not make the same mistake with these jihadists as we did with Hitler.  Take them seriously.

The Koran commands Muslims to engage in a holy war (Jihad) in order to impose Islam and Shariah Law on the entire world.

“Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in  wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.” (Koran 9:5)
 
Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi of the Muslim Brotherhood told a youth conference in Toledo, Ohio in 1998,

 “We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America.”  

The horrific 9/11 attacks were sanctioned by the Koran’s mandate to wage Jihad (holy war) against non-Muslims.  How can anyone call Islam a religion of peace!
  • “[D]ismember [the American] nation, tear them apart…destroy their embassies…shoot down their planes…kill them on land, at sea, and in the air.  Kill them wherever you find them.”
– Islamic cleric Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman (The Blind Sheikh)
  •   “The real matter is the extinction of America.  And, God willing, it will fall to the ground.”
                  – Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar  
 
With the help of the Obama administration, Islamists have infiltrated the highest echelons of our government and are on the road to achieve their goal to destroy America from within — unless you and I do something about it. 

 

  • Numerous Islamic terrorism experts who used to give hundreds of presentations on Islam’s true threat to America are now banned from speaking at government counter-terrorism classes and conferences.

  • General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ordered all training material used by military professional colleges and combat units scrubbed of any content offensive to Islam.

  • General Dempsey also caused the firing LTC Matthew Dooley as an  instructor at the National Defense University teaching the course on Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism because it was offense to Islam.  Up to that point LTC Dooley was a rising star in the military. (The Thomas More Law Center is representing LTC Dooley) 

  • John Brennan (now Director of the CIA), during a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, argued that the terms “jihadist” or “jihad” should not be used to describe America’s enemies.  His reason: Jihad is a holy struggle and a legitimate tenet of Islam. 

  • Caving-in to Muslim demands, the FBI purged 876 pages and 392 presentations that were deemed offensive to Islam.

  • When Muslim U.S. Army Major Nidal Hasan, shouting “Allahu Akbar,” killed 13 fellow soldiers and wounded 30 in the Fort Hood massacre, the government called it workplace violence.  The 86-page official report on this massacre didn’t once mention Muslim or Jihad.  But it mentioned workplace violence 16 times.

  • An Obama-appointed U.S. Attorney in Tennessee threatened to prosecute anyone who made inflammatory statements about Islam.

So how can we defeat our enemies if our leaders refuse to allow patriotic Americans  to accurately identify them!

Islam is more than a religion.  It is a political ideology that calls for Islamic domination of the world.  Moreover, it’s incumbent on Muslims to make war upon non-Muslims until all nations submit.

And that includes the United States.            
 

This is what the co-founder of CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) said to a California audience in 1998: 

 

 “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”

 

To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Thank you for your Service — You’re Fired; Pink Slipping our Army Captains a Threat to National Security

July 15, 2014 by TMLC

July 15, 2014

While we watched the commander-in-chief drinking beer and playing pool last week, we learned that 1,100 Army captains — some in harm’s way on the front lines in Afghanistan—were receiving pink slips notifying them they were fired.   How demoralizing, heartless, and stupid. 

Thank you for your Service — You’re Fired; Pink Slipping our Army Captains a Threat to National Security

These captains now must lead and care for the Soldiers entrusted to them in combat, dodge the bullets and IEDs, and at the same time worry about finding a job when they get back home, that is, if they ever do.    As one Army wife posted on MilitaryFamily.org, “On some level I knew the draw downs were inevitable, but I guess I never expected to be simultaneously worried about a deployment to Afghanistan and a pink slip because my husband’s service is no longer needed.”

This is another stark example of domestic politics trumping our national security interest. 

The experience and knowledge about the enemy and counter insurgency these officers have gained is irreplaceable.    

The very Army leadership we are eliminating are the leaders we most desperately need to retain.   Why?  Because they represent three critical talent streams that will be essential in our next war (and there WILL be a next war, and it will likely be sooner than anyone wants):

  1. Courage – They are among the bravest volunteers.  Any captain or major currently with 6 to 10 years in service would have had to have raised his/her hand around 2004-2008, when the current war was at its worst.  Iraq was in sectarian flames, and a resurgent Taliban was attempting to retake Afghanistan.  This was followed by the surge to fix Iraq and Operation Medusa in Afghanistan to save Kandahar from the Taliban.  All of this and these young Soldiers still said, “I’ll go.  Send me.” 
  2. Experience – This war has been largely a platoon leader and company commander’s fight.  These Soldiers have been the point of the spear for years and are at the pinnacle of their professional relevance in our ongoing global war against Al-Qaeda.  We are now going to dump a major chunk of irreplaceable talent out on the streets.
  3. Talent – These are now some of our most agile and adaptive leaders.    These young leaders have mastered the art of coordinating nearly all elements of national power to achieve our nation’s global aims – not just military force, but diplomacy, economic resources, education, and information in an effort to defeat an intractable enemy and provide space for innocent civilians to carve out a new country.

Given the recent events of China threatening its Pacific neighbors, an emboldened and bellicose Russia threatening Ukraine and inserting itself in Latin America, Iran ever closer to nuclear weaponry and a Middle East now descending into a virtual free-fall of Islamist inspired chaos why would anyone inside the White House be stupid enough to press ahead with these drastic levels of military cuts?    It is tantamount to willful negligence on the part of our nation’s political leadership.

Our Army is currently at 510,000, well below the Clinton Era Army.  The current cuts are aimed at reducing it to 490,000.  And the most recent defense budget proposal from the Pentagon, now working its way through Congress, calls for an Army of 450,000 soldiers.

It seems our troop reduction policies are based on how we would like the world to be, not what it really is.  We have forgotten George Washington’s admonition, “To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving the peace.”

Moreover, we are reducing our military ranks without regard to our own dismal history in accurately predicting both the timing and nature of our next war.  In February 2011, then Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, told an audience of West Point cadets:

 

Major force reduction is a bridge the U.S.  Army has crossed often, especially during the big post-war draw downs.    The post World War I and World War II era draw downs were very large, but these were entirely expected and economically necessary.      

Although the Pentagon is attempting to soften current separations, the fact remains: it is putting out young officers into a weak economy which still hasn’t recovered from the 2008-2009 recession.  These young officers and their families agreed to devote their lives to defending our country.  Now they are rightfully concerned about finding a job (the unemployment rate for recent veterans is incredibly high).  We thank them for their service.  But Washington will spit them out in another 10 months.

President John F.  Kennedy, on November 26, 1962, addressed the First Armored Division, at Fort Stewart, Georgia.   The Division had been deployed during the Cuban Missile crisis.   In his remarks he quoted from a poem found in a sentry box in Gibraltar:


How sad but true.

10 Ways True Feminism is Under Attack

March 20, 2014 by TMLC

March 20, 2014

By Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson – Infowars.com

Feminism is a top down social movement controlled by the political class which is exploited to promote cultural marxism, confuse gender roles, denigrate men and mislead women – all while completely ignoring genuine women’s rights issues. Here are ten ways in which true feminism is under attack.

1) Feminism Was Hijacked by the Political Class to Exploit Women

When the average person thinks of feminism, they don’t differentiate between first wave feminism and second wave feminism. First wave feminism was primarily centered around giving women the right to vote and the right to own property. No one would argue with first wave feminism being a noble cause. However, second wave feminism was quickly hijacked the the elite as a tool for social engineering and has little to do with women’s rights. A quote often attributed to Adolf Hitler is, “First you get the women, then you’ve got the children, so follow the men.” By hijacking feminism and making it about subjugating men, the establishment succeeded to a great extent in making women more dependent on the state.

As the late Aaron Russo revealed, the women’s liberation movement was also hijacked by the elite as a method of revenue generation. Russo was told directly by Nick Rockefeller that the Rockefellers bankrolled feminism not because they had any interest in women’s rights but because it meant that by getting more women in employment quicker, the state could collect more tax dollars. Rockefeller also told Russo that this served the dual purpose of getting children in school at an earlier age, enabling them to be indoctrinated into accepting the state as the guardian, breaking up the traditional family model.

2) The CIA Played a Key Role in Hijacking Feminism

The Central Intelligence Agency played a key role in hijacking second wave feminism via the work of Gloria Steinem, who is still a noted feminist icon today. Steinem admitted that she was recruited by the CIA to infiltrate youth counter-culture movements in the late 1950′s, and subsequently emerged as a leading icon of second wave feminism in the 1960′s. Steinem subsequently received funding from the CIA and the Rockefeller foundation to set up Ms. Magazine, a feminist publication.

The CIA’s role in steering and managing second wave feminism again underscores the fact that feminism is not a grass roots “people” movement, it is a top down system of control used to divide and conquer and is run by powerful individuals who care little for actual women’s rights.

3) Cultural Marxism: Divide and Conquer

Second wave feminism serves to advance cultural marxism, which posits that culture and language, not the state, is responsible for oppressing women. This is why the establishment constantly promotes second wave feminism, because by blaming contrived women’s rights issues on language, culture and patriarchy, the state absolves itself of blame. By characterizing complete non-issues, such as the recent “ban bossy” campaign, as critical feminist causes, the state distracts from real women’s rights abuses, such as those committed by the governments of US allies around the world.

Cultural marxism also impugns patriarchy and the middle class as being the source of oppression, thereby enflaming class and gender wars and allowing the state to engage in divide and conquer. While people of different races and genders are trained to pick fights with each other, they are prevented from uniting against their common enemy and the only entity that can truly inflict genuine oppression – the state.

4) Mainstream Feminism Ignores Real Women’s Rights Issues

Mainstream feminism serves to deflect attention away from countries where genuine women’s rights abuses and atrocities against women are taking place, by advancing meaningless causes that have nothing to do with women’s rights and everything to do with social engineering. A recent example is the “ban bossy” campaign, which is being funded by some of the largest western banks, oil companies and PR firms on the planet.

While celebrity feminists such as Beyonce were recruited as part of lucrative public relations campaign to ban a word, the Iraqi parliament was preparing to pass a new law that would legalize rape, prohibit women leaving home without the permission of their husband, and legalize marriage for 9-year-old girls. There was no multi-million dollar feminist media blitz to bring light to this desperate situation, nor did Beyonce appear in any PSAs to put pressure on the government of Saudi Arabia over their characterization of female drivers as potential terrorists.

By misdirecting money and attention into causes that only serve to restrict free speech, establishment feminism sidelines real women’s rights issues.

5) Feminists Ignore the Plight of Muslim Women

Fearing being labeled racist, politically correct left-wing feminists will rarely if ever campaign against some of the most egregious human rights abuses committed against women in the Muslim world. This again underscores the fact that mainstream feminism is not what it purports to be.

While there are innumerable examples of women being persecuted in the Muslim world, from their characterization as terrorists simply for driving in Saudi Arabia, to genital mutilation in African countries, to stonings in places like Afghanistan, establishment feminists are too busy pursuing inane and offbeat causes such as Wikipedia being too “masculine” in order to focus on actual examples of oppression.

While western feminists continue to contrive pointless arguments about “sexism” in western culture that are almost half a century out of date, the feminist movement is virtually AWOL when it comes to voicing fierce criticism of Muslim societies whose treatment of women is at least 200 years behind acceptable modern standards.

“It is a curious fact that our courageous feminists leaders, women who attack mild-mannered American men at the slightest sign of sexism, often grow oddly silent when confronted with the more fundamental abuse of women in Muslim societies,” writes Charlotte Hays, noting how feminists attack people who speak out against FGM (female genital mutilation) by scorning them at “culturally insensitive”.

6) Advertising Targets Women

In the United States, women buy more than 80% of all goods and services. This is why the majority of advertising is aimed at women. Advertisers routinely hijack feminist sentiment to push products that are not even beneficial and in some cases harmful to women, such as paraben-laden cosmetic products. This can be traced right back to the very foundation of modern advertising when Edward Bernays, the “father of public relations,” was hired to sell cigarettes to women, who had previously been banned from smoking in public. By marketing Lucky Strike cigarettes as “torches of freedom” and connecting them with the suffrage movement, Bernays convinced millions of women to take up the habit, undoubtedly leading to chronic illnesses and deaths in many cases.

Today’s advertising targets women by making them feel inadequate about their appearance and lifestyle. Studies have shown that just looking at an object intended to enhance beauty makes women feel worse about themselves. Advertising teaches women that the only way to combat feelings of inadequacy is to endlessly consume beauty products and clothing. This in turn objectifies women as little more than pretty things to be looked at and dissuades them from spending their time and money on far more worthy activities like self-improvement, education and creative pursuits.

7) Mainstream Feminism is About Hating & Denigrating Masculinity

As dissident feminist Camille Paglia has expertly identified, mainstream feminism’s obsession with denying biological differences between men and women is to blame for many of modern society’s relationship troubles. “What you’re seeing is how a civilization commits suicide,” asserts Paglia, noting that the emancipation of masculine virtues is psychologically neutering boys and creating a toxic gender imbalance.

This is part of the reason why many women now complain that it is increasingly difficult to find “real men,” in other words emotionally stable men who are comfortable in their masculinity and are not afraid to express it. Feminism has frightened an entire generation of young men into being confused about how they should behave around women lest they be labeled a misogynist. This deliberate attempt to confuse gender roles undoubtedly contributes to many relationship breakdowns and soaring divorce rates.

8) Women are Being Brainwashed that Femininity and Motherhood are Dirty Words

Despite motherhood being one of the most difficult and crucial roles any woman could undertake – nurturing a child from birth and attempting to help it grow into a stable and happy individual – mainstream feminism habitually disparages women taking on traditional gender roles as somehow being a form of bondage to a patriarchal society. Women are also erroneously told that they can put having children on hold until their late 30′s or 40′s without there being a substantial risk of complications.

The feminist dogma of gender as a social construction and not as an innate biological science serves to confuse gender roles, straining relationships between men and women and eroding the very foundation of society.

As the Independent Women’s Forum asserts, “While environment and socialization do play a significant role in human life, a growing body of research in neuroscience, endocrinology, and psychology over the past 40 years suggests there is a biological basis for many sex differences in aptitudes and preferences. In general, males have better spatial reasoning skills; females better verbal skills. Males are greater risk takers; females are more nurturing.”

9) The Real War on Women: Plunging Fertility Rates

Just as sperm counts for men are plunging worldwide, female fertility rates are showing a similar decline. America’s total fertility rate is now below the replacement rate, at 1.93 for the average woman. This figure hasn’t been above the replacement rate of 2.1 children since the early 70′s.

While second wave feminism has framed women’s reproductive rights around the issue of abortion, concerns about plunging fertility rates have gone unaddressed. There are numerous health and environmental factors which are contributing to declining fertility, including genetically modified foods and vaccines.

10) Estrogen Mimickers Causing Cancer

Growing concern over how estrogen mimickers pose a huge health threat to women is also another issue that mainstream feminism has failed to address. Many of the transnational corporations that bankroll feminism would be directly impacted if estrogen mimickers, found in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, cosmetic products and industrial by-products, were banned, which is a primary reason why establishment feminism sidelines the problem.

Last year, researchers at Duke University linked environmental exposure to bisphenol A, a common plastic, with disruption of a gene necessary for proper functioning of nerve cells. Estrogen mimickers are causing cells to rapidly grow out of control, leading to the formation of cancerous tumors. Breast cancer amongst women is surging. “15 million years of ‘healthy life’ were lost worldwide in 2008 due to women dying early or being ill with the disease,” according to scientific studies.

Conclusion

The good news is that many women are losing faith in second wave feminism. Recent polls show that a minority of women – 38 per cent – consider themselves feminists, while 72 per cent of Americans as a whole do not consider themselves to be feminists.

An increasing understanding of the fact that establishment feminism is a political dogma exclusively designed to achieve social engineering while ignoring real women’s rights issues has led to many former feminists renouncing their involvement in feminism, which is increasingly becoming a fringe movement that has succeeded only in discrediting itself.
