US - Muslims suppress criticism via courts
For those Muslims that speak out against Islam's abuses in foreign lands the punishment can be harsh - even death. That is not the case in America. But that doesn't stop Muslims from trying to silence their critics, be they Muslim or not.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, which masquerades as a Muslim civil rights group but in fact has close links to terrorists, uses American courts to try and silence its critics. Fortunately, CAIR has recently lost two, what should have been, high profile cases. See here and here. CAIR's Canada arm recently lost a similar suit.
These are not the last we will see of such suits as Muslims try and silence any criticism of Islam. Jeff Jacoby reports on the lastest attempts by Muslims to silence their critics in Boston.
That's what they fear most, exposing what is really taught in Mosques. Time and again and around the world we learn of the hate being preached in Mosques. Let's hope Mansour wins his day in court.

But if anything should raise eyebrows, it is the decision of the Islamic Society to pursue Mansour for his comments about the ISB at a press conference in 2004. He had gone to pray at the ISB's current mosque in Cambridge, and described at the press conference what he had observed: "I am here to testify that this radical culture is here, inside this society," he said. He had seen "Arabic-language newsletters filled with hatred against the United States." Books and videos in the mosque's library promoted "fanatical beliefs that insult other people's religions." A religious man who prays five times daily, he stressed that he was "not against the mosque. . . . I'm against extremists."
That's what they fear most, exposing what is really taught in Mosques. Time and again and around the world we learn of the hate being preached in Mosques. Let's hope Mansour wins his day in court.

World - Illegal Immigration: Topic number one
In this age of global terrorism, governments around the world are struggling with how to tackle their illegal immigrant population and allay voters fears. And make no mistake, fear is what's ultimately behind the immigration debate.
Britain says it will take 10 years to deport all of their illegal immigrants.
America is going to post troops on her border to stem the tide while congress sturggles to come up with a plan to deal with the 11 million illegals in the country.
France wants to enact tougher laws to make it harder to immigrate there.
It's not just the illegal immigrants that have people worried. Although, I suspect people are focusing on this segment of immigrants because they should be, in theory, the first and easiest to deal with. They are breaking the law after all.
It's been 5 years since 9/11 and in the interval since, the world has suffered waves of Muslim terrorist attacks. Madrid, Bali, Egypt and London have all been targets; not to mention foiled plots all over the globe.
But it's not just the Muslim terrorism that has people worried. It's deeper than that and involves the breakdown of western culture as seen by the recent French riots, Muslim appeasement in Britain and the disaster unfolding in Sweden. These are but a few examples.
America has witnessed all of this and while she turned a blind eye to illegal immigrants pouring in from Mexico for years, as evidenced by the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants, Americans are nervous. The recent illegal immigrant marches, organized in part by the communist led anti-war movement and various Islamist groups, backfired. Americans were horrified to see the American flag flown below the Mexican flag or upside down, waves of Mexican flags and anti-American posters.
Likewise, Britons were horrified to see calls for the end of freespeech and beheadings when Muslims marched in London to protest the Muhammad cartoons. Here again, these protests were ogranized by the communists led anti-war movement and the Islamists.
America is at the front leading the world war on Muslim terrorism. To many Americans, it makes no sense to wage war around the world and not secure your own borders. On the other hand, Islamists see open borders as a weak link in the chain; hence their involvement in the illegal immigrant demonstrations.
In the wake of 9/11 and the continuing Muslim terrorists attacks around the world, countires continue to tighten their airports and seaports. The intelligence community continues to build and expand their capabilites to thwart these attacks. Dispite the cries of erosion of civil liberties, these measures have prevented dozens of Muslim terror attacks - but sadly, not all.
As for the Mexicans, sadly, they are caught up in this mess. Make no mistake, US (and by the way European) immigration policies have been a mess for decades and it's going to be long and painful to sort it out. But likewise, make no mistake, the reason we are at this juncture today, is because of Muslim terrorism and the spread of militant Islam.
Little known to Americans, and indeed the world, there is a direct connection between illegal Mexican immigrants and the Muslim terror attacks of 9/11. Michelle has the video.
Now, what was that Paul Reynolds of the BBC was saying about blogs being just another source of information and not a provider of information?
UPDATE
Seems American law makers are listening to the voters.
It will be interesting to see if Kerry flip flops on the issue when the compromise bill is voted on. In other words will he be for it before he's against it. Kerry filp flopped on the Israeli's secruity fence. First he was against it before he was against it.

UPDATE
Seems American law makers are listening to the voters.
May 18, 2006 -- WHEN the Senate voted by a stunning 83-16 in favor of a reinforced fence along the Mexico border yesterday, it showed that lawmakers are feeling get-tough winds blowing from the grass roots.
Even 2008 presidential prospects like Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.) voted for the 370-mile fence, and several Democrats who first voted no switched nervously to yes.
"Voters are very clear that they want the situation at the border addressed first," said independent pollster Scott Rasmussen, who's found huge enforcement-first majorities in 33 states he polled.
"The real debate isn't about what to do with the illegal aliens who are already here," Rasmussen said. "It's about what to do to keep more from coming here."
The House has already voted for a 698-mile border fence, so any compromise bill ultimately worked out by the House and Senate will have to include a barrier.
It will be interesting to see if Kerry flip flops on the issue when the compromise bill is voted on. In other words will he be for it before he's against it. Kerry filp flopped on the Israeli's secruity fence. First he was against it before he was against it.

UK - Muslims urged on Christian rights
It's about time these people started to speak out.
And there may be more on the way.
Why isn't the left speaking out against Islam's treatment of gays? Why isn't the women's movement speaking out aginst Islam's treatment of women?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales has called for improved rights for Christians in Muslim countries.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor told the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies they should have the same freedoms as Muslims in countries such as Britain.
And there may be more on the way.
BBC religious affairs correspondent Robert Piggott said Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor's comments come as church leaders start to speak robustly about the treatment of Christian minorities in some Muslim countries.
Why isn't the left speaking out against Islam's treatment of gays? Why isn't the women's movement speaking out aginst Islam's treatment of women?

US - CNN "accidents" mounting
The day after CNN "accidentally" broadcast President Bush rehearsing his speech on immigration - the only network to do so - the network has been caught in another "accident" over NSA's data mining program. Check out these screen shots and note their date/time stamps. The first is at 1627 GMT.
Nearly four hours later and the headline on the CNN Politics page reads this:
And after 14 hours, a Google search has this:
Back in Novemeber 2005, CNN broadcast the Vice President's speech with a black X through his image. When callers complained, CNN responded:
The CNN employee on the phone was fired but whoerver was responsible for broadcasting the X wasn't.
CBS fired Dan Rather over his use of forged documents in an attempt to smear Bush, CNN needs to fire whoever is responsible for these repeated "accidents".

In it, a male voice is clearly heard to say that the X overlaid on Vice President Dick Cheney's face during the broadcast of his speech to the American Enterprise Institute on 11-21-05 was an exercise of CNN's "freedom of speech." The unidentified man added, "Tell Bush and Cheney to stop lying," as well as other inflammatory attacks on the President and the Vice President.

Europe - The lights are going out
All over Europe people who speak out against Islamists are being persecuted.
Holland Will Revoke Hirsi Ali's Citizenship and the attacks on Paul Belien of Brussels Journal, are just two of the latest examples.
Although not quite as bad, people in Britain who speak out are being persecuted as well.

French Intifada: A Clear and Present Danger
"The state is dead." says Author and philosopher Gilles William Goldnadel.
Read the whole thing and substitute Britain for France.
Most Britons are unaware that Muslim terrorists were foiled from flying planes into Parliament on 9/11.
UPDATE
A reader requested a link to the foiled 9/11 attack on Parliament. The link is here and includes a link to what happened to the Muslim terrorist behind the foiled attack.
Here's a link to the foiled Sarin gas attack on Parliament.
Thanks to the BBC censoring almost any mention of Muslims and terrorists, most in Britain are unaware of the threat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CBN.com – PARIS -- 2006 could prove to be a very dangerous year for Europe, especially for France.[...]
Jacques Chirac may have thought that opposing America and Israel would keep France safe from terror, but it has not.
Christmas Eve 1994, seven years before 9-11, Islamic terrorists from Algeria tried to fly an Airbus into the Eiffel Tower. They were stopped by French commandos at an airport in Marseilles, where the terrorists were waiting on a full load of jet fuel. They had already packed the plane with dynamite.
Europe has lived under the threat of Islamic terror far longer than the United States, but it has largely been in a state of denial, as high immigrant birthrates from Muslim nations turn Europe into Eurabia, and Islamic terrorism becomes a homegrown product.
Goldnadel says that the traditional state has given way to a leftist fantasy.[...]
"In the quasi-religious system that I have described, the foreigner is kind of an ideal martyr, and the white European native is like an ideal devil,” Goldnadel remarked. “The national state is demonized, and is seen as anachronistic -- old-fashioned.”
After years of making jokes about the American-led war on terror, the terror threat to France is now said to be high, with the media reporting that Islamic terrorists have smuggled surface-to-air missiles into Europe to shoot down French planes.
Cozying up to the Arab and Muslim world against George W. Bush was supposed to prevent the rioting from happening, but the November riots should not have surprised any Frenchman who was paying attention.

UK - The Left selling out to terrorism
Gerard Henderson writing in the Sydney Morning Herald.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT a turnout of leftist luvvies. The Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, was in London last weekend. The highest profile member of the Fidel Castro fan club was greeted with acclaim by many members of the British left, including the London Mayor, Ken Livingstone, the actor Vanessa Redgrave and the playwright Harold Pinter along with members of the Labour Friends of Venezuela. This group doubles up as Labour opponents of Britain's social democratic Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
It so happens that Castro persecutes Cuban intellectuals and homosexuals alike. You might expect that the likes of Livingstone, Pinter and Redgrave and left-wing Labour MPs such as Jeremy Corbyn would be embarrassed associating with the Castro-lover Chavez. But, no.
They dislike Blair and George Bush so much that all are too willing to make a commitment to a Latin American left-winger who has described the US President as an "arsehole" and depicted the British Prime Minister as "the main ally of Hitler".
It is of no concern to the British left that their latest hero supports a communist dictator or that he wants to use Venezuelan oil reserves to strike against such Western democracies as Britain and the US. To some, at least, alienation is thicker than blood.

Iraq - 40 terrorists killed, 13 captured
More good news.
One area the coalition is getting much better at, is gaining intelleignece from one battle and immediately acting on it to kill more terrorists.
Good news MSM don't want you to know about.
UPDATE
Here's another good example of acting quickly on newly gained intelligence.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One area the coalition is getting much better at, is gaining intelleignece from one battle and immediately acting on it to kill more terrorists.
Intelligence officials identified several other areas connected to Abu Mustafa's cell members. Coalition troops assaulted three of those sites, located about six kilometers north of where Abu Mustafa had been killed the day before. Upon arrival at the first site, coalition forces engaged more than 15 al Qaeda terrorists who were attempting to establish defensive positions or escape. Coalition forces confirmed 14 suspected terrorists were killed and also discovered Abu Mustafa's body, which had been moved to this new site.
Good news MSM don't want you to know about.
UPDATE
Here's another good example of acting quickly on newly gained intelligence.
The combined three-day operation netted more than 200 suspected insurgents.
“We have been finding evidence that this place has been used to train insurgents,” Graham said. “We conducted a detailed search, detained suspicious individuals, and (used) the intelligence that we got from them, which resulted in follow-on operations on day two.”
Searches yielded propaganda materials, rifles and videos. Iraqi Soldiers also gathered names of potential threats from the detainees nabbed during the operation.
“We have found some smaller caches and have captured more than 10 men who we found to be part of Tahiwed and Jihad [insurgent groups],” said Lt. Col. Musab Josif, 1st Bn., 1st Bde., 4th IA Div. “The best thing we had during the mission is good cooperation between the Iraqi and American Soldiers. They worked together as one team.”
The partnership between Iraqi Army and coalition forces was one of the many successes of the mission.
“The Iraqi Army is becoming more and more competent in the planning and execution of missions,” Graham said. “In regards to that, they are very capable of doing their own tactical operations and reacting to intelligence.”

Iraqi Tank Brigade Assumes Combat Responsibility
More good news MSM ignore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAMP TAJI, Iraq, May 15, 2006 – As the new Iraqi army attains capability, more units are taking over security responsibility within their country. The latest example is the Iraqi 2nd Brigade of the 9th Mechanized Division, which assumed responsibility for security in the Taji area during a ceremony here today.
The brigade will be "in the lead" in defending 150 square kilometers of the region, including the cities of Saab al Bour and Hor al Bash.
The 2nd Brigade, which is the only Iraqi armored unit with T-72 tanks and BMP armored personnel carriers, is called the "jewel of Iraq" by military leaders in the country, said U.S. Army Maj. Jeremy Hoffman, a military transition team officer for the brigade.

Iraq - senior Zarqawi aide captured
More good news from Iraq.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A senior aide to Al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi was arrested on Sunday evening in Ramadi, 110 km west of Baghdad, Iraqi Interior Ministry announced Monday.
Salah Hussein Abdeul Razzaq was captured along with his mobile phone storing group photos with al-Zarqawi.
The ministry said in a separate statement that the Iraqi security forces arrested "terrorist" Umar Ahmad Saleh, also known as Abu Jibreel, in western Baghdad Monday morning.
"The terrorist had in his possession weapons including RPG shells and rockets, automatic machineguns, mortars, three barrels of TNT, remote control devices, bullet proof vests, protective masks, and a car laden with explosives," the statement said.

According to the Democrats, it's because you're stupid.
Here's what Ellen Ratner has to say on how American's view the program.
See, you're too stupid to understand.

"You know, most people don't understand the impact of how bad this really is."
See, you're too stupid to understand.
She's not done yet.
"You know as well as I know: if the American people really understood what was going on with their privacy, and the Democrats could explain it very simple terms, the tide would turn against the Bush administration."
Oh, not just simple terms, but "very simple terms". Ratner thinks you're not just stupid, you're really stupid.
The article goes on to talk about border security and ends with this:

US - Journalism vs. security: Leaking is wrong
Not to mention treasonous and illegal.
Read the rest.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE ARE IN the first war of the Information Age, and we have a critical advantage over our enemy: We are far better at gathering intelligence. It's an advantage we must utilize, and it's keeping us safe.
But every time classified national security information is leaked, our ability to gather information on those who would do us harm is eroded.
We suffered a setback Thursday when USA Today ran a front-page story alleging that the National Security Agency was collecting domestic phone records. This article hurt our efforts to protect Americans by giving the enemy valuable insights into the Terrorist Surveillance Program, which has been focused like a laser beam on Al Qaeda and its known associates.
President Bush's job is to defend our nation and prevent another terrorist attack. He has taken many vital steps to combat Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. The Terrorist Surveillance Program does not target ordinary U.S. citizens. This is a valuable program that I strongly support because it is protecting American lives. Let me say a few things about this program.

UK - Muslims face deprivations
And it's all our fault.
Now don't you just feel sorry for this poor persecuted religion? - Islam that is. Well, hold the hankies.
They choose not to integrate.
Their parents and their mosques refuse to let them integrate.
I'm afraid the situation will remain this way until they are forced to integrate into British society.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LONDON - Muslims are more likely than other religious minorities to be unemployed and live in poor housing in the most deprived parts of England, according to a government study Monday.
Half of English Muslims over the age of 25 are not involved in the formal labor market and a third live in the most deprived areas of the country, according to the study commissioned by the government.
Muslims are also particularly vulnerable to long-term illness and experience poor levels of education, said the researchers from the universities of Derby, Warwick, Birmingham and Oxford.
Now don't you just feel sorry for this poor persecuted religion? - Islam that is. Well, hold the hankies.
The report said members of the Muslim, Sikh and Hindu communities were likely to remain concentrated in the same areas because families want to stay close together and many prefer to live near their places of worship.
They choose not to integrate.
Sir Iqbal Sacranie, secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said the research showed the poverty and other deep-seated problems that have contributed to the marginalization and disaffection felt among many young Muslims.
Their parents and their mosques refuse to let them integrate.
I'm afraid the situation will remain this way until they are forced to integrate into British society.
