America - Islam On Trial

We are assured over and over that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. We are told that acts of violence or racism by Muslims are committed by militants or radicals and that so called moderate Muslims would never do such things. Then how do they account for this:

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Jurors in the terrorism conspiracy trial of a former college professor saw a 1991 video Tuesday in which he called Jews ``monkeys and pigs'' and urged Palestinians not to give up ``one foot of our sacred land.''

Before Sami Al-Arian spoke on the video, a group of children at the Chicago event chanted ``death to Israel.'' The jury viewed the video with English subtitles since everyone at the event spoke in Arabic.

A few things I'd like to point out.

First, notice it says "a group of children", plural, chanting "death to Israel". Where do you suppose they learned that? The Koran teaches Muslims to hate Jews, that's where.

Second, Arain was a college professor with a Phd., how many young minds did he poison while teaching?

The left are busy defending Arian but there is ample evidence against him.

Al-Arian served as one of the original founders of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a designated terrorist organization. PIJ, according to the State Department, is “committed to…the destruction of Israel through holy war.” PIJ has been responsible for numerous terrorist attacks, including suicide bombings, resulting in the deaths of civilians.

ICP also invited several speakers who could not attend the conferences, including Fathi Shikaki, at the time the leader of PIJ, and Abdullah Azzam, Osama bin Laden’s ideological mentor and founder of al-Qaeda. Al-Arian stated of Azzam at a conference, “Azzam also sends his salutations to the conference, and he has not been able to be with us due to the political conditions in Afghanistan.”

[...]

Sami Al-Arian has actively fundraised for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. In 1995 raid on Al-Arian’s residence, the FBI found a letter written by Al-Arian shortly after a PIJ suicide bombing that left 18 people dead in Israel. The letter solicits funding for “the jihad effort in Palestine.” Al-Arian, according to an FBI translation of the Arabic letter, praised the terrorist attack, writing, “The latest operation carried out by the two mujahidin (warriors), who were martyred for the sake of God, is the best evidence of what the believing few can do in the face of Arab and Islamic collapse before the Zionist enemy and of the still-burning firebrand of faith, steadfastness and challenge.”

On a videotape of a 1991 conference in Cleveland, Ohio, seized by FBI agents, al-Arian is introduced as “the president of the Islamic Committee for Palestine, and a short briefing about the Islamic Committee for Palestine, it is the active arm of the Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine, and we like to call it the Islamic Committee for Palestine here for security reasons.” After being introduced, Al-Arian stated, “Let us continue the protests. Let us damn America. Let us damn Israel. Let us damn their allies until death.”

Remember the children chanting "death to Israel"? Here's more on that:

In another seized videotape, Al-Arian delivered an impassioned speech before a rapt audience at a high school in Chicago in 1991. Al-Arian referred to Jews as “monkeys and pigs” and stated, “Mohammad is leader. The Qu’ran is our constitution. Jihad is our path. Victory to Islam. Death to Israel. Revolution! Revolution! Until Victory! Rolling, rolling to Jerusalem.”

And this is happening all around the world everyday.

Wake up people, we are at war.
