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).

Obama Calls for Amendment Limiting Free-Speech Rights

Posted on by

CNS News:

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama endorsed a constitutional amendment that would restrict the free-speech rights of political activist groups by overturning the Supreme Court decision in the landmark Citizens United v FEC case that granted First Amendment rights to corporations.

“Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens United,” Obama wrote during a question and answer session on the website Reddit on Wednesday.

“Even if the amendment process falls short, it can shine a spotlight of the super-PAC phenomenon and help apply pressure for change.”

In its decision, the Supreme Court said that the government could not restrict the free-speech rights of organizations during elections, striking down key provisions of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law.

That law restricted how much money independent political organizations could spend and banned them from engaging in election-related speech 60 days prior to a general election.

In his concurring opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the government was arguing for direct censorship of political speech, asking the court to allow the banning of books, pamphlets, and any other type of speech the government deemed necessary.

Some disturbing indications of shifted US foreign policies

Ynet News reports that:

 

The United States has indirectly informed Iran, via two European nations, that it would not back an Israeli strike against the country’s nuclear facilities, as long as Tehran refrains from attacking American interests in the Persian Gulf, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday.

 

According to the report, Washington used covert back-channels in Europe to clarify that the US does not intend to back Israel in a strike that may spark a regional conflict.

Obama’s ‘Intelligence’ Agencies Urge Preparing For A ‘Post-Israel Middle East’

Remember Chas Freeman (pictured), President Obama’s original choice for Director of National Intelligence? Chas didn’t get the position because ‘powerful bloggers‘ like yours truly worked hard to expose his indifference to the torture and murder of Chinese dissidents and his being deep in the pockets of the Saudi royal family. 

Instead, Obama appointed James Clapper, who told Congress that China is the United States’ biggest mortal threat, and that the Muslim Brotherhood is secular and will save us from al-Qaeda.

So Clapper is now the Director of National Intelligence and Freeman remains influential. Therefore, it’s not surprising that President Obama’s ‘intelligence agencies’ have prepared a report on a ‘post-Israel Middle East‘ (Hat Tip: MFS – The Other News). (By the way, the author of this piece is VERY anti-Israel).

It’s a paper entitled “Preparing For A Post Israel Middle East”, an 82-page analysis that concludes that the American national interest in fundamentally at odds with that of Zionist Israel. The authors conclude that Israel is currently the greatest threat to US national interests because its nature and actions prevent normal US relations with Arab and Muslim countries and, to a growing degree, the wider international community.

A car filled with explosives rammed into a U.S. government vehicle in the north-west Pakistani city of Peshawar today, killing three people and wounding 19 others.

Two Americans and two Pakistanis working at the U.S. Consulate in Peshawar were among the wounded, according to a U.S. Embassy official, speaking on condition of anonymity. Two of the dead were Pakistanis.

The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad had earlier denied initial reports that two Americans were killed in the blast.

Peshawar is located near Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal region, the main sanctuary for Taliban and al-Qaida militants in the country.

The city has been hit by scores of bombings in recent years, but attacks against American targets are relatively rare, likely because of the extensive security measures taken by the U.S. government.

EAST LANSING (WWJ) – A Michigan State University student is recovering after he was beaten up and had his mouth stapled shut during what investigators are categorizing as a brutal hate crime.

Zachary Tennen, a 19-year-old sophomore in MSU’s journalism program, said he was at a house party on the 500 block of Spartan Avenue early Sunday morning when two men approached him and asked if he was Jewish. When he responded “Yes,” the two men raised their arms into a Nazi salute and said “Heil Hitler” before knocking him unconscious, according to Tennen’s mother, Tina.

About 20 people reportedly watched as the men proceeded to staple Zachary Tennen’s mouth shut at the lips and gums. His jaw was broken in two places during the attack.

“They knocked me down really hard … and I assumed someone would help me,” Zachary Tennen said in a statement. “But after some guys at the house basically kicked me out, I had to get a cab.”

Tina Tennen told the Detroit Free Press her son took a cab to Sparrow Hospital in East Lansing for initial treatment, but underwent surgery in metro Detroit Monday night to have his jaw wired shut. He is now recovering at his home in Franklin.

“It almost seemed like they tried to kill me, and to think about that in my brain, physically — it isn’t very pleasant,” Zachary Tennen told campus newspaper The State News.

The Democratic Party is sanctioning a Muslim prayer event in conjunction with its nominating convention in Charlotte that will feature a radical Islamic leader who has called for the overthrow of the “filthy” U.S. government and establishment of Islamic law.

“Jumah at the DNC” is being presented by the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs, or BIMA, from Aug. 31 to Sept. 1. A brochure for the event says the group has “been authorized by the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to conduct Jumah prayer as well as host festivities and Islamically related functions.”

The United States is colluding with a top Israeli newspaper to stymie Israel’s efforts to strike Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and the IDF knows it, according to a leading nationalist pundit.

Writing in Friday’s edition of Makor Rishon, one of the Israel’s veteran journalists, Amnon Lord, paints a picture of intense U.S. meddling in internal Israeli political and security-oriented processes in an effort to prevent a successful Israeli strike on the weapon program meant to make it extinct.

“From a technical military point of view, Israel does not require any kind of coordination with the Americans,” writes Lord regarding the plan for a raid on Iran. “There is a concern that the Americans will learn of the date for an attack and try to prevent it in different ways. The Americans have not given the Israelis a feeling that they are true partners in the operative arena, in the past two years. On the contrary, the IDF has identified preventive American activity against an Iran operation.”

NYPD Probing Hate Crime After Bacon Found At Staten Island Ramadan Site

If they really wanted to investigate hate crimes they should go to a mosque and listen in.

CBS Local:

Derogatory Comments Also Found On Website; Muslim Leaders Fume

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Police are investigating an unusual bias crime on Staten Island.

Muslims who gathered for prayer to celebrate the end of Ramadan in a city park found bacon scattered on the ground, CBS 2’s John Slattery reported Monday.

With Ramadan ending this past weekend, Muslims celebrated the end of fasting with prayer. On Staten Island an outdoor service was held Sunday on a New Dorp football field, attracting some 1,500 Muslims.

But before most of the faithful arrived for Morning Prayer, it was discovered that someone had scattered a quantity of raw bacon on the field.

US Marine arrested, allegedly for his “patriotic facebook posts”. ***But actually because his FB page is psychotic***

Posted on by

New information is that his facebook page genuinely does show material that should be of concern to authorities in some ways. This person likely needs a psychiatric evaluation if indeed one can be justified at all in the interests of preventing a mass killing as we have seen recently. I think it is important to look at this incident in the light of what his facebook page did say, which from what I have been told would be a red light to anyone.

In the light of free speech absolutism it should still not be grounds for arrest. But a psych eval doesn’t sound like such a bad idea.

 

I will likely delete this post in the next 24 hours.

Eeyore.

 

I don’t know what, if there is one, the back story is. Based on the Obama administrations cooperation with the Istanbul process and their willingness to use punitive measures against Americans who insult Islam (see Rev Jones) it would not surprise me if this is as advertised.
