Muslims in toronto protest for the return of Omar Khadr
Muslims have very few rhetorical weapons but they are effective it seems, instead of risible, which they should be.
The notion of rejecting Omar Khadr’s return as “Islamophobic” (itself a highly risible term) is interesting. It would appear then, that to at least a fraction of the Islamic community in Toronto, to reject any Muslim, no mater what grotesque acts of murder and terror he has perpetrated even against the Canadian state, is ‘Islamophobic’.
If that is the case, then at least for them it is a kind of admission of sorts.
An admission that terror, murder, hatred for the infidel and all things personified by the Khadr family and their kindred spirit, Osama Bin Laden are in fact genuinely Islamic.
Muslim family in Canada starves female children to death. Their boy is just fine.
You feminists still OK with this?

Charged with abuse, Alberta parents cite Muslim faith in fight to keep girl on life support
Bruce Edwards/Postmedia News files An examination room at Stollery Children’s Hospital. 27-month-old “Baby M” remains on life support at the hospital as a legal battle rages on over her case.
CALGARY — The toddler who can be identified only as Baby M is not quite clinically brain dead, but close to it. Lying in a virtual vegetative state in an Edmonton hospital, doctors can see tiny eye movements. They’ve recorded a few functioning reflexes.
But for all intents and purposes, the 27-month-old is gone. She can neither breathe, nor feed herself. She has no pupil responses, no personality, no awareness. Her doctors say she is paralyzed and has virtually no hope of recovery: What little time is left to her will be marked by more bouts of pneumonia and blood infection, made all the worse by the possibility of some still-intact animal instinct for suffering. She’d have to have an invasive tracheotomy — an incision into the throat — to help her breathe.
Her doctors have advised all artificial life support be withdrawn.
The interesting thing is that you would think that the law around who has legal authority in this kind of case would be settled, but in fact it’s not
Normally, this would be the most difficult decision her parents would ever have to face: What makes Baby M’s story so unusual is that her parents are the ones accused of putting her in the hospital in the first place.
Citing love and religious convictions, the toddler’s 34-year-old Muslim parents are asking to keep their child alive against doctors’ recommendations.
Court of Queen’s Bench Justice June Ross is expected to offer her ruling on Friday.
Currently sitting in the Edmonton Remand Centre, the couple, who cannot be named, have been charged with aggravated assault, negligence causing bodily harm and failing to provide the necessities of life.
Forbidden from talking to each other even about their own child’s care, the pair is caught in a legal quagmire: They technically retain the right to make decisions about Baby M’s fate, even if the child’s life or death will determine their own charges.

The parents’ other two children — Baby M’s twin sister, who was also found badly malnourished, and a boy, who was not — have been taken into protective custody. But Baby M remains in her parents’ care and the government has called on the courts to decide whether or not to let her die.

New York City ranks as Number One in mosque construction
The number of mosques in the United States has grown by 74 percent in the past 11 years, up from 1,209 in 2001 to a substantial 2,106 in 2011. The statistics was compiled and released by Faith Communities Today, affiliated with the Hartford Seminary’s Hartford Institute for Religion Research earlier this year.
The Islamic Society of Vermont is the only official mosque listed for the entire state of Vermont.
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) – The survey found that mosque construction has typically been in larger metropolitan U.S. areas. The 10 states with the largest number of mosques are New York, with 257, California with 246, Texas with 166, Florida with 118, Illinois with 109, New Jersey with 109, Pennsylvania with 99, Michigan with 77, Georgia with 69 and Virginia with 62.
The state of Vermont has the least number of mosques, with only one located in the entire state.
In terms of metropolitan areas, Greater New York City again led with 192 mosques. Southern California has 120, Greater Chicago has 90, Greater Philadelphia has 63 and Greater Detroit’s 63 mosques rounded out the top five metropolitan areas for mosque population.
The survey was the first of two reports on American mosques released this year.
The first survey, “Basic Characteristics of the American Mosque, Attitudes of Mosque Leaders” includes data on the growth of mosques in the U.S. and attitudes of their leaders.

Judge orders accused Fort Hood shooter to have his beard shaved
A voice of reason from within the wilderness. I wonder if it will be allowed to last

Maj. Nidal Hasan is accused of killing 13 people and wounding 32 others at Fort Hood, Texas in November 2009.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- An appeals court previously said it would not rule until after the order was given
- Hasan had said, “I believe that my religion requires me to wear a beard”
- He is accused of killing 13 people and wounding 32 at Fort Hood
(CNN) — A judge has ordered that the beard of Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of fatally shooting 13 people at Fort Hood, be forcibly shaved ahead of his upcoming military trial, base spokesman Tyler Broadway said Thursday.
Col. Gregory Gross issued the order, which will likely trigger an appeal that would further delay a case that has dragged on since the 2009 mass shooting.
Hasan’s attorney had filed an appeal when Gross threatened to order the shaving, but the appeals court said it wouldn’t issue a decision until the shaving was actually ordered. Thursday’s order by Gross opens the door for that appeal.
The last time he was in court, Hasan told the judge, “Your honor, in the name of almighty Allah, I am a Muslim. I believe that my religion requires me to wear a beard.”
His defense team argued Hasan should be able to keep his beard under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, contending that shaving it would leave him in a “perilous religious state,” according to a news release from Fort Hood.
TDSB fee hike raises rent for church group 800%
This might explain the TDSB logo just a bit..
Toronto Sun:
TORONTO – So if you are a Filipino Christian congregation renting space from the Toronto District School Board, you face a shocking 800% gouging increase in your rental permits.
But if you are a Muslim Imam using a school cafeteria as a mosque for Friday prayers, there is not only no increase — but no charge at all.
So much for inclusiveness and religious equality at the TDSB. Double standard, highway robbery and gutless political correctness are three phrases that come to mind.
Not necessarily in that order.
However the TDSB calls rent permit increases on churches an “initiative to offset the costs.”
Rev. Charles McVety, of Canada Christian College, calls it nothing but a “mean spirit eviction” primarily against “new Canadians.”
He will lead a “Call to Action Prayer Rally” on Sept. 7 at 7 p.m at the college, located at 50 Gervais Dr. He has started a petition at: http://www.stopthewaronthechurch.com/.
“This, with Toronto council’s disturbing new bylaw removing ‘Place of Worship’ from general zoning categories, will make it very difficult for new churches to operate,” said McVety.
Case in point is the tiny Jesus Reigns Ministry Church — Filipino Chapter, which has a 70-member congregation about to become homeless.
Muslim leader wears tattered US flag as scarf at Democrat Convention
Examiner:
Ragged, torn American flag used as scarf at Democrat ‘Jumah Prayer’ service
What was touted as a 20,000 strong Muslim Jumah prayer service, actually drew “several hundred” according to MSNBC.
Yet the lack of numbers didn’t keep an unnamed Muslim participant from making what many view as a political statement during the gathering.
As seen at the very public gathering at nearby Charlotte’s Marshall Park, one individual opted to pray using a faded, torn and ripped American flag as a scarf (click here for larger image).

Canine mosque furor on Facebook
By Terry Davidson ,Toronto SunFirst posted: | Updated:
A Facebook page inviting people to walk their dogs outside an east-Toronto mosque is becoming a hotbed of hostility.
Facebook administrators removed a posting from the he “Walk Your Dog at Mosque” webpage early Monday that threatened to throw attending dog owners in a “lake of fire” and shoot their beloved pooches on the spot.
Posted by Ali Shirazi, who identified himself as an Iranian-born resident of Toronto, it threatened all dog owners who plan to attend the Sept. 14 event at the Salahuddin mosque and community centre in the Kennedy Rd.-Eglinton Ave. E. area
The Facebook page emerged in the wake of the Al-Quds Islamic rally held at Queen’s Park just over a week ago. The yearly anti-Israel demonstration, started by Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, was also attended by counter protestors, one of whom was a Jewish man who brought his 160-pound English Mastiff.
Allan Einstoss was arrested by police after getting into a scuffle when he was told by Muslim demonstrators to keep his dog away. His dog, Cupcake, was also kicked by at least on demonstrator.
Some devout Muslims believe dogs to be unclean and vehemently avoid them.
“I’ll tie you all up and throw you all in a lake of fire if you show up at the Salahuddin mosque … every dog will be shot on (the) spot,” wrote Shirazi.

Bacon, parks, first amendment and Muslims changing the law, for them
Thanks SDAMATT
I wonder if I built a park and called it, ‘Bacon Park’ would it keep Muslims away? Would they have me arrested for a hate crime?
Answer is clearly no and yes
