Four Christian missionaries arrested in June at the Dearborn Arab International Festival are heading to trial today after a judge denied a motion to dismiss the case.

Attorneys for the evangelists, who are part of a group known as “Act 17 Apologetics,” say their clients were attempting to engage Muslims in a dialogue about their faith.

But critics argue the suspects hoped to cause a scene at the festival, and Dearborn Police Chief Ron Haddad explained they were arrested for disorderly conduct to ensure they did not provoke violence from other attendees.

Defense attorney Robert Muise of the Ann Arbor-based Thomas More Law Center sought to dismiss the case on the grounds the arrests were unconstitutional — an argument law professors say has merit — but the Detroit Free Press reports 19th District Court Judge Mark Somers on Friday denied the request.

“I think the evidence will show they did absolutely nothing wrong,” Muise told the newspaper, explaining he’s confident his clients will prevail at trial.

The case is being watched closely by First Amendment scholars and political pundits

Frankly, this is something that most readers of Vlad will already have some idea about, if not know as much as is here in this excellent informative and well produced video by the Christian Broadcast Network. Erick stakelbeck does his usual thorough job of investigation and explanation and it begs the question. Why is a small Christian media outfit doing the job the large media giants simply will not do, FOX not withstanding.

My guess is, a combination of editorial cowardice, and editorial disbelief that these issues are as presented here, as well as fear of a far left government in the US shutting down any media that might present Islam in a bad light much as it appears to be doing to the CIA and FBI.

In any case, please enjoy this expose on the Islamic Brotherhood in the US and in general, and spread the link to all who need to know this.

The guy who burned a Koran, a perfectly legal activity in the US is awaiting charges by a Muslim detective, while another fellow, Sami Samir Hassoun, was charged with planning to plant a bomb at Wrigley Field and planning to kill the mayor of Chicago.

Much more information about the Chicago man on Canada Free Press who predictably, was a “devout Muslim” and wanted to kill as many people as he could waging jihad in the streets of America

The article at Bloomberg refers to him as, “A Chicago man”

Church destroyed on 911 cannot seem to be rebuilt or get attention from Port Authority

President Obama felt it was worth micromanaging the Mosque planned for near Ground Zero, but there is a deafening silence on replacing the church that was actually already there, and destroyed when the West tower came down.

Sharia or, well, you know, ‘law’?

The US seems to be slipping into using the machinery of state to enforce the sharia more and more these days.

This is one trial I would like to watch. Try and wrap your heads around the wording of the charge as they list it. Last time I looked, “desecration of a Koran” is not a crime in the U.S of A.

$10,000 Reward In Koran Burning Case

The East Lansing Police Department is seeking the publics help to find who is responsible for burning and desecrating a Koran. The incident happened on September 11. It was found at the front door of the Islamic Center of East Lansing.

The department is offering $10,000 for any information that would lead to the identification and prosecution of those responsible for this act.

Those with information are asked to call Det. Sherief Fadly at 517-319-6814.

Ottawa tightens security, forces Muslims to remove veils

Posted on by

Calgary Herald… OTTAWA — The federal government has quietly tightened screening regulations at airports so passengers boarding flights must show their faces at boarding gates, amid concerns that Muslim women were being allowed to board flights without removing their veils.

But the new rules could also create headaches for people whose appearance have changed significantly, or who have aged noticeably, since they had their photo taken for identification documents. Such passengers could now be turned away at the boarding gate.

Meanwhile, passengers wearing bandages on their heads will be allowed to pass through unchecked, as long as they have a note signed by a “health-care professional.”

Under an “interim order” by Transport Minister Chuck Strahl, airlines must now check the “entire face” of passengers passing through boarding gates. The order explicitly states that airline officials must look at passengers — first, to determine if they are 18 years or older, and if they are 18 or older, to verify their identity against their passport or other photo ID.

Previously, federal regulations required that airlines screen anyone over 18 by asking that person for the appropriate identification. But there was no explicit mention of the need for passengers to show their “entire face.” Continue Reading →

Drunk Muslim woman kills Ottawa teen, returns to court for more charges

Question:

Imagine your family had 6 children and one was a delinquent with criminal tendencies. Does that mean you should invite all the criminals from everyone else’s family to come live with you? Because that seems to be the logic and arguments of everyone who insists that because some Canadians are awful people that we should therefore not discriminate against the criminals from everywhere else in the world when they want to come commit crimes in Canada.

OTTAWA — After three separate hit-and-run accidents left three different people dead within 90 minutes of Ottawa overnight Thursday, two people have been arrested and charged with impaired driving — with one appearing in court Saturday — while police hunt for the third.

In Ottawa, a 40-year-old woman made an brief court appearance Saturday morning. She was in court after a teen riding a bicycle was struck and killed by a vehicle Thursday.

Samira Mohamed Daoud will next appear by video on Sept. 17.

Daoud was dressed in a blue top, had her hair in a bun, and appeared tired. Previous to Saturday’s court appearance, Daoud had already lost her licence for impaired driving.

The charges against Samira Mohamed Daoud include criminal negligence causing death, failing to stop at the scene of an accident, drunk driving and possession of a stolen vehicle. Continue Reading →

ISLAM: MOSQUE NEAR NORTH POLE SOON

Posted on by

A mosque appropriately named, The End of the World, is headed towards the North Pole. I think it should be named, ‘The End of any Chance for development or prosperity’ but the end of the world will do as that is what they, the Muslims, seem to want and very probably it is what they will get.

From ANSAMED:

(ANSAmed) – ROME, SEPTEMBER 15 -After a 4-thousand-kilometre-long land and river ways journey , the mosque called the ”End of the World” will arrive on a ship at its destination, the Canadian town of Inuvik in the extreme far north of Canada, 200 kilometres from the North Pole.

The population of Inuvik is 4000 people including about one hundred Muslims. Muslims in the small town – reports Al Arabyya – had been used to praying in a small transportable building, said the architect Ahmed Alkhalef, who added that when the mosque arrives on September 24 the Muslims living in Inuvik will be able to pray together, whereas in the last prayer only about twenty people took part since the house-mosque did not have the space for everyone. The first prayer of the new mosque, built according to a Canadian architectural style and commissioned by a wealthy Saudi national (the total cost was about 100,000 dollars) is scheduled for November 1. (ANSAmed)

American School Kids tricked into Islamic prayer.

The amount of deception practised by this mosque and organization defies belief. How they can in one minute talk about how Women are more free under Mohamed than they were under Washington, then immediately tell the women and girls to leave and trick the parents into allowing their sons to do the Islamic prostration nonsense is truly stunning. Please watch this whole clip as it also alludes to emetic ACLU hypocrisy, and so spread it as far and wide as you can.

Thank you

This is a heart-sinking story. A Jewish doctor begins to get abuse from Muslim patients even though he was the only one able to provide effective medical care to his patients children. Very discouraging and intuitively. I suspect as does the author of this piece, this is an upward trending phenomenon. Please click here to read it on Blazing Cat Fur.

“Spiritual” Muslim woman goes on killing rampage at Kraft Food plant

Co-Worker Calls Alleged Shooter: “Very Spiritual”

By KAREN ARAIZA
Updated 8:52 PM EDT, Fri, Sep 10, 2010

NBCPhiladelphia.com

“She’s not a loose cannon. She’s a hard worker, works very hard. She’s very spiritual.”

Kenneth Dorsey says the woman accused of killing two co-workers and critically injuring a third at the Kraft plant in Northeast Philly is a good person. And so were the two women she’s accused of gunning down with a .357 Magnum, just minutes after she’d been suspended and escorted from the building.

Dorsey’s been at the plant for 37 years and worked on the third floor with the three victims and the alleged shooter, Yvonne Hiller.

“They had argued, from what I was told, they argued,” Dorsey told NBC10’s Rosemary Connors after the shootings Thursday night.

I had just started my job, you know and I heard like bang, bang, but you hear noises everyday at a bakery so you don’t pay any mind.” Then a co-worker yelled, “Come on, you got to leave now! She’s shooting.”

After the shootings, Hiller holed up in an office on the second floor where the SWAT team found her after co-workers who were hiding in the office next door tipped off building security.

“I never thought in my deepest heart that it would come down to this,” Dorsey said.

Some co-workers said she had a history of run-ins with other workers and management, Dorsey said like anyone, they sometimes had their differences, but always got along.

“We talked about her Muslim faith and I wished her happy Ramadan,” Dorsey said. “I might be wrong, but my guess is she had some people that she had issues with and a personal agenda, a score she had to settle.”

Dorsey said the shooting was going to be hard on everyone. “We’re like family here.”

“Tell your audience to keep the families in your prayers, however you pray — whether you’re Jewish, Christian, Muslim — we’re all in shock…and I lost two of my closest friends. . .I’m gonna go home and take a shower and read the Bible and pray. Hopefully, I can get through this.

Pastor bashing didn’t buy peace

By David B. Harris, Citizen Special September 10, 2010 7:55 AM

What do Stephen Harper, Barack Obama, Gen. David Petraeus, Canadian Defence Minister Peter MacKay and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have in common?

They each need to get a grip on themselves the next time they want to whack a wacky pastor. Each sacrificed valuable resources to condemn and plead with once-aspiring Koran-griller, Florida Pastor Terry Jones, a bizarre fourth-string in the evangelical band. Congregation size: 50, on an inflationary day.

Yes, by now all agree: a nutty fringe leader was compromising social cohesion, foreign relations and military security with grotesquely silly, gratuitous and hurtful plans for a Koranic cook-off.

But this portrayal missed key considerations. In the extent and scope of their criticism of Jones’ aims, senior U.S. officials, including Clinton and Gen. Petraeus, exceeded their constitutional remit in ways that could undermine future security and liberal-democratic ways. The same can be said of Harper and his defence minister.

Their warnings and beseechings raised immeasurably the stakes in this matter. Politicians risked the possibility that a government failure to apparently force Jones to stop — a constitutional impossibility, in any event — would produce more blowback than ever. Now that this pressure has forced Jones to climb down on his own, liberal-democracy’s enemies at home and abroad will be emboldened. The outcome doubtless confirms their doctrinal belief in a soft West that is vulnerable to ever-increasing levels of terrorism and stealth-jihadic demands for endlessly-Islamizing “accommodation.” Continue Reading →

Schlussel Files Federal Suit Against Muslim Principal, Dearborn Public Schools Over Discrimination Against Christians; HOW YOU CAN HELP

By Debbie Schlussel

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – September 7, 2010

DETROIT, MI–The Law Offices of Debbie Schlussel, a Detroit-area law firm, today, announced the filing of a federal lawsuit against Imad Fadlallah, the Muslim man who was, until July, the principal of Dearborn’s Fordson High School, a tax-funded public high school, the student body of which is overwhelmingly Muslim (more than 90%). The suit is also against Fadlallah’s employer at all times relevant to the actions referred to in the suit, the Dearborn Public Schools, which, as noted in the complaint, was aware of the behavior alleged in the suit.  As stated in the lawsuit, the action filed by Schlussel’s clients, Bryan Purcell and Georgene Stergalas, concerns the continued harassment of them by Fadlallah and other school personnel because they are Christian and not Muslim or of Arabic heritage.  The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Please click here to read the rest of this startling and important article. It seems parts of the US are already fighting to retain any fragment of a non-Islamic heritage. As bad as one thinks things are, they are far far worse.
