Obama Administration Says Anti-Muslim ‘Hate Speech’ Can be Punished

-By Warner Todd Huston

In May one of Obama’s U.S. attorneys in Tennessee said that Americans who spoke against Islam could be prosecuted.

Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, said that inflammatory material against Islam might be a violation of federal civil rights laws. Such a violation could bring the federal government down on those opposing Islam here in the US.

As reported by The Tullahoma News, Killian and the FBI’s Kenneth Moore hosted a “Public Disclosure in a Diverse Society” to “help” the community learn how anti-Islam speech could land an American before authorities.

“This is an educational effort with civil rights laws as they play into freedom of religion and exercising freedom of religion,” Killian told the paper. “This is also to inform the public what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.”

Killian talked of how some Muslims are innocent of terror and that terrorism is committed by only a small number of Muslims. Then he illegitimately invoked the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

NYC Muslim Advises to ‘Look in the Eyes when Talking to Whites. If You Want to Kill Them’

-By Warner Todd Huston

The media is attempting to claim that the arrests of two New York Muslims accused of having ties to the Taliban is a case of entrapment, but others are not so sure.

As Daniel Greenfield reports, court papers show that Humayoun Ghoulam Nabi and Ismail Alsarabbi aided the Taliban in getting guns and supplies and had plans to do much more. Nabi, the papers said, had “Zillions of trucks moving in and out of Kabul.”

As Greenfield writes, “He wanted to supply the Taliban with gear and then move up to weapons, saying that the American soldiers had the advantage in goggles, GPS and cold weather gear and that otherwise they were weak people who would perish, saying, ‘They will die, they will die, they are weak people you know, all those big muscle and all that is bullshit you know?'”

Nabi, 27, told an informant that, “he hated the United States and wants to take a stand.”

Muslims Want to Force 9/11 Memorial Brochures to Be Written in Arabic

-By Warner Todd Huston


9/11 Memorial, New York City

Muslims murdered thousands of Americans on Sept. 11, 2001. Now Muslims want to force authorities that run the 9/11 memorial in New York, the one right at Ground Zero of the attacks, to reprint brochures and possibly even museum displays in Arabic.

The story came out last month in the New York Post which reported that the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee sent a series of complaint letters to the 9/11 memorial saying that the memorial folks are “discriminating” against Muslims.

The brochures are printed in 10 different languages but not Arabic.

“Our fear is that there is a political intention behind the exclusion,” the Post says Raed Jarrar, the ADC’s director of communications and advocacy, said.

80 Christian Airmen Being Punished, Harassed, Threatened for Refusing to Support Gay Marriage

-By Warner Todd Huston

80 members of the Air Force at one base are testifying that they are being harassed, threatened and even punished because they refuse to support gay “marriage.”

Fox News’ Todd Starnes has the exclusive story of airmen at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas who say they are being attacked by homosexual militants.

Starnes reports: “There is an atmosphere of intimidation at Lackland Air Force Base,” said Steve Branson, the pastor of Village Parkway Baptist Church in San Antonio. “Gay commanders and officers are pushing their agenda on the airmen. There is a culture of fear in the military and it’s gone to a new level with the issue of homosexuality.”

The pastor says he attended a meeting of many of these Airmen where they voiced their concerns over being harassed by their superiors for standing up for their own, personal religious principles and continuing to oppose the homosexual agenda.

Al Qaeda Teaches Never Be Friends With Non-Muslims, They are Enemies

-By Warner Todd Huston

Like in the video above, MEMRI has found another Islamic pronouncement from Muslims that all non-Muslims are enemies to all Muslims and must be killed or converted. This time it is an al Qaeda pronouncement that Muslims should never be friends with non-Muslims because all who are not Muslim are enemies of all who are Muslims.

“Enmity towards infidels is a must,” Pakistani cleric Abdul Samad said in an audio lecture posted on jihadi online forums by Al Qaeda broadcaster Al-Sahab. This was translated by MEMRI so that we can see what these people are really saying and what they really mean.

MEMRI is the Middle East Media Research Institute a group that translates into English news from the middle east so that we can all see what they are really saying. After all, what Muslims say to the west in English is nothing like what they say to each other at home in their own languages. What they say to each other is closer to the truth as they are taught that lying to enemies–that would be you and me–is perfectly alright.

Muslims Campaigning to Force Maryland Schools to Close on Islamic Holidays

-By Warner Todd Huston

Muslims in the Montgomery County schools in Rockville, Maryland are campaigning for public schools to take Islamic holidays off along with Christian and Jewish holidays. So, this week, the terror-tied Muslim group CAIR sponsored a rally to help push the issue.

High school senior Anhar Karim is one complaining about having to choose between school and his Muslim holiday.

“We are forcing our students into an unreasonable decision,” he said.

At the rally held outside the Rockville Montgomery County Council Office Building, Muslims said they want Montgomery County Public Schools to close annually for two Islamic religious holidays, Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha.

Florida County Employee To be Fired for Anti-Islam Facebook Post

An employee of Palm Beach County posted some harsh comments about Islam on his Facebook page on the anniversary of 9/11 and now faces possible firing or discipline at work for making the post.

Palm Beach County Public Affairs staffer John Jamason posted some critical comments about Islam on Facebook but once his boss, Palm Beach County Administrator Bob Weisman, found out about the post Jamason was told that he may face discipline for the harsh words.

Jamason posted comments on his own personal Facebook page–not one related to the county government–and he feels that he should face no punishment at all for indulging his own free speech.

School Tells Little Girl She Can’t Write About God

-By Warner Todd Huston

Remember this: liberal education policy maintains that Christians are evil. We must also remember that our system of miseducation enforces that position every day. We see it this time in Tennessee where a school has told a little girl that she isn’t allowed to write about God.

Todd Starnes of Fox News Radio reports this latest outrage against freedom OF religion in our schools where we find little 10-year-old Erin Shead who was attacked by her teachers for writing about god for an assignment about someone she idolized at Lucy Elementary School in Millington, Tennessee.

“I look up to God,” she wrote. “I love him and Jesus, and Jesus is His earthly son. I also love Jesus.”

God would “always be the #1 person I look up to,” the little tyke wrote.

MAJOR FAIL: Million Muslim March Draws Only a Few Hundred

-By Warner Todd Huston

We’ve been keeping an eye on the so-called Million Muslim March that was planned for today, the 12th anniversary of the attacks by Muslims on the USA on Sept. 11, 2001. Well, we can all laugh at them now as it looks like the march garnered a few hundred thousand less than the “million” Muslims they planned on hosting. In fact, only a handful bothered to show up.

The event seems to have garnered only about a hundred people which is a teeeny, tiny bit less than the “hundreds of thousands” that DC residents were warned were on the way to the nation’s capitol.

Amusingly, after a lot of backlash against their million terror-supporter march, the event coordinators tried a last minute renaming of the event. They decided to re-brand it the “Million American March Against Fear.”

Obama’s Syrian Rebels Dismembered a Little Girl With a Saw, WHILE She Was Alive

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Syrian rebels that Obama wants to help have been accused of dismembering a precious little girl with a hand saw, WHILE she was still alive. These are the people that Barack Obama thinks are the good guys in Syria.

This is being recorded more every day as Obama’s al Qaeda-backed rebels are sweeping through ares not controlled by the brutal Assad regime and murdering everyone that won’t pledge allegiance to radical Islam.

The horrendous story comes from Mother Agnes Mariam el-Salib, a Catholic nun and mother superior of St. James Monastery in Qara, Syria.

Mother Agnes reported on the massacres of the Alawite minority and Christians perpetrated by Obama’s radical Muslim “rebels” in Syria.

D.C. Denies Patriotic Bikers Permit to Rally on Sept. 11, But Allows Muslims to March

-By Warner Todd Huston

We reported about the story weeks ago about the planned Sept. 11 Million Muslim March on Washington DC. Then there was a response to that rally that was planned by patriotic bikers intending to get two million bikers to Washington. Well, now a new wrinkle to the story is out with the city of Washington DC deciding to deny the bikers a permit to do a no-stop ride through even as they allow the terror-approver’s march to take place.

The much criticized Million Muslim March is being planned by a group calling itself the American Muslim Political Action Committee and is nothing less than an effort to stick a terror-supporting finger in American’s collective eye. There is no possible reason to hold a Muslim-supporting event on the very day their cohorts murdered thousands of Americans on Sept. 11, 2001. No other reason unless they want to rub America’s nose in that act of terror.

VIDEO: ‘Duck Dynasty’ Stars Take Over Local Church, Joke About Atheists

-By Warner Todd Huston

The good folks of your favorite TV reality show, Duck Dynasty, are holding what they call the “Duck Commander Sunday Services,” from now on. And, typical of their humorous, straightforward personalities, even made a joke at the atheists in a recent Sunday service.

The wise-cracking, Duck call-making family are holding court each Sunday at a Louisiana church and in a report by The Blaze, they are all true to form singing, preaching, and making jokes as they led their congregation in services this last weekend, on Sunday, September 1.


Willie Robertson addresses the congregation

As The Blaze reports, “‘Our attendance doubled on Sunday and I can’t tell you how many visitors told me that there is just something about White’s Ferry Road church that feels like you just came home,’ Ryan Howard, brother of Willie Robertson’s wife Korie, told TheBlaze.com in an email. He said the West Monroe church’s two Sunday morning services had over 3,000 people.”

Religion of Peace: Muslims Throw Stones at Jews Visiting Temple Mount for Rosh Hashanah

-By Warner Todd Huston

The religion of peace is at it again, this time throwing stones at Jews visiting one of the most holy sites for three world religions. Jews arriving at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City as they begin preparations to celebrate Rosh Hashanah were attacked by Muslims looking to prevent them from worshipping.

Rosh Hashanah is one of Judaism’s most holy days and the Temple Mount one of its most holy sites, but once again Muslims gathered to physically harm anyone not Muslim.

The attacks on Jews rose to such a fracas that police were called to put an end to the brawling between the attacking Muslims and the defending Jews.

You’ll recall the story about Sweet Cakes by Melissa, the Oregon bakery that ran afoul of the gay mafia when its owners refused to cater to a gay wedding? Well, now the shop owners have decided to close their shop down due to the constant harassment at the hands of the oh, so tolerant leftists in Oregon.

Melissa and Aaron Klein, owners of the bakery, posted a notice to their Facebook page announcing the closing. “This will be our last weekend at the shop we are moving our business to an in home bakery,” the couple said on August 30.

The pair also thanked supporters for their wishes of future success saying, “Thank you again everyone for your up lifting words, and encouragement! It is much appreciated.”

The pair ran into resistance when they refused to sell their cakes to a gay couple planning a wedding.

Geraldo Rivera Loses Speaking Gig Over Semi-Nude Selfie

-By Warner Todd Huston

Back in July, Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera posted a nearly nude photo of himself (a selfie, as the kids call it) on Twitter and reaped a whirlwind of condemnation. He may have thought it was behind him until this month when he learned that he lost a speaking engagement at a Catholic University over the image.

Geraldo was scheduled to speak at an upcoming October panel at Duquesne University to talk about the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

Duquesne is a Catholic institution and found it wasn’t amused at the 70-year-old’s lack of modesty by posting a nearly nude photo of himself for all to see.

In a statement about the withdrawal of the invitation, Duquesne’s spokeswoman Bridget Fare said:

Atheists Sue to Stop NY Town’s 911 Memorial Over Cross Image on Steel Beam

-By Warner Todd Huston

An atheist group is threatening to sue a New Jersey town to stop it from erecting a memorial to their fallen that were killed during the terror attacks on 9-11-01 because one of the beams from the World Trade Tower that the town acquired has a cross cut into it.


The town of Princeton is dissing them, the atheists say, and so they are idiotically playing the victim card claiming the cross-bearing steel beam is “grossly offensive” to them.

“While the intention to commemorate those who died at the World Trade Center is admirable and appropriate for a community, the use of such a singular religious image will be grossly offensive and alienating to many people,” the groups attorney Bruce Afran said.

Duck Dynasty: We’re Using Hollywood to Spread Christian Values

-By Warner Todd Huston

The non-bearded Robertson brother of TV’s Duck Dynasty, Alan Robertson, said in a recent interview that the Robertsons are turning the tables on Hollywood, using Tinsel Town to spread Christianity instead of the usual Hollyweird practice of using our entertainment industry to spread hate for Christianity.

Until last year, Alan Robertson was a pastor of a Louisiana church, but he stepped down from that position and has joined the rest of his family in the popular TV reality show that airs on the A & E Network.

Alan is the eldest son of Robertson family patriarch and Duck Commander company founder Phil Robertson.

When he announced he was stepping down from his pastorship, Alan said, “What I do for our church–you see, it’s a pretty good-sized church–impacts a lot of people, but because of my association with the show, I’ll get to minister to a lot more people. Any person that’s an evangelist, that’s what you want to do, so I had to give this up for something possibly bigger.”

Disabled Mall Security Officer Fired After Asking Muslim to Remove Veil

-By Warner Todd Huston

A mentally disabled Bridgewater, New Jersey shopping mall security officer fired for mistakenly asking that a Muslim woman remove her veil wants his job back.

The security man, Marc Krause, of Rariatn Borough, has filed a legal complaint against General Growth Properties, owner of the Bridgewater Commons mall where the incident happened, and IPC International Corporation, the mall’s vendor for security, alleging discrimination and wrongful termination.

The dispute occurred in May when Krause asked a Muslim woman to remove her face scarf thinking he was enforcing the mall’s no-mask policy. Instead of just reprimanding him after informing him that the woman’s veil was a vestige of her religion, Krause was fired after the woman filed a lawsuit of her own.

The Only 4 State Dept. Officials Chastised for Benghazi Debacle Now Given Jobs Back, Full Pay!

-By Warner Todd Huston

Three of the only four Obama officials punished for the administration’s abject failure during the Benghazi attacks last year are now being given their jobs back.

Four Americans–including our Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens–were killed during the terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, and in the immediate aftermath of the Obama administration’s horrible failure to keep our ambassador safe, four officials of the State Department were put on leave pending an investigation.

One, Eric Boswell, who was in charge of diplomatic security, resigned after he was put on leave pending an investigation. But the other three, Charlene Lamb, the deputy assistant security tasked with embassy security, as well as Scott Bultrowicz, the former director of diplomatic security, and Deputy Assistant Secretary Raymond Maxwell were all placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

But now, New Secretary of State John Kerry has cleared all of them and given them their jobs back.

Worse, they were all still being paid during this whole one-year-long investigation.

Illinois Conservatives Criticize Rauner Over Tribune Photo

The photo, taken by John J. Kim at the Republican Day event at the Illinois State Fair, raised criticism from several directions. Some raised concerns about moral issues and some found it a telling illustration of political coalition building.

First of all the woman delivering the smooch is one Susan Petty, a political operative who was until the end of July on the payroll of Adam Andrzejewski’s For the Good of Illinois.

Critics Slam Muslims for the 9/11/13 Scheduling of Million-Muslim March in DC

-By Warner Todd Huston

A Muslim group planning a “million Muslim march” to be held on the 12th anniversary of the terror attacks that brought down the World Trade Center in 2001 is being criticized for picking that day for their event.

On August 11, I reported on the march being planned by the Muslim advocacy group named the American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC) and ourselves noted that it is little else but a finger in American’s eyes. Now others are echoing that sentiment.

Recently on Fox News, Doctor Zudhi Jasser, president of the Islamic Forum for Democracy, criticized the picking of the very day that Muslims killed over three thousand Americans.

“They’re basically a bunch of ‘truthers’ who think that America’s to blame for everything,” Jasser said. He went on to say that the Anti-Defamation League has identified some of the leaders of the march as “being virulent, anti-Semites who think 9/11 was a conspiracy theory.”

California Christians Found ‘Not Guilty’ of Reading Bible Near Gov’t Offices

-By Warner Todd Huston

A court has said that a pair of Christians were “allowed” to read the Bible aloud outside the Department of Motor Vehicles in Hemet, California. Wasn’t it kind of the government courts in California to say that these Christians were allowed to have their rights to free religious expression?

Back in 2011 Mark Mackey and Bret Coronado were arrested and charged with misdemeanor offenses for reading the Bible outside the DMV location.

But on August 13, Superior Court Judge Timothy Freer found the men “not guilty” of any offenses.

Prosecutors had to prove that the men needed a permit for their Bible reading, but were not able to make that case.

Mysterious ‘Angel’ Priest From Missouri Car Crash Revealed

-By Warner Todd Huston

On August 4 a nearly fatal car crash occurred on a Missouri highway. The driver was feared near death and called for a priest to minister to her. Suddenly a Catholic priest appeared seemingly out of nowhere, attended to her, and then mysteriously disappeared causing many to wonder just who he was and how he just vanished like that. Well, now that mystery priest has been identified.

It may have been miraculous that Father Patrick Dowling from the Diocese of Jefferson County just happened to be right where he was needed most but it wasn’t quite the sort of “miracle” that some were assuming of his appearance.

In the aftermath of the car accident in which Katie Lentz was hit head-on by a drunk driver, rescue workers feared that they wouldn’t be able to get the woman out of her mangled car in time to save her life. A priest was needed to anoint her, they felt. If she passed in the wreck, she wanted to be blessed.

Just at the right time came Father Dowling. He ministered to the stricken woman and then, when he was done, he slipped away not to be seen again.

A Planned ‘Million Muslim March’ Set for Sept. 11, 2013

-By Warner Todd Huston

In an effort to stick their finger in America’s eye, a Muslim group is planning a “million Muslim march” on the very day their cohorts murdered over 3,000 Americans in 2001. This is called gall.

The march is being planned by the American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC) and is to be held on September 11, 2013 in Washington D.C. The march is meant to “demand that our civil rights be protected by our government.”

To say their rights haven’t been protected is, of course, an absurd claim. Muslims in the USA are not being systematically denied their “civil rights.” Any claims that Muslims are being oppressed in the U.S. is a laughable fiction.

On its website, the group is “demanding” that Obama bow to their wishes.

-By Warner Todd Huston

On July 23, an employee of the radical, Islam-supporting “news” outlet Al Jazeera was thrown out of an event sponsored by a Christian group after sneaking in and secretly recording the event despite being denied media credentials, a report says.

Eyewitness accounts of the incident reported by the Washington Free Beacon on Wednesday, say that two men identified as Matthew Cassel and Micah Garen were ejected from the Christians United for Israel’s (CUFI) annual D.C. gathering after sneaking in and “clandestinely filming events closed to the press”

Both reporters claimed to be working for Al Jazeera at the time and were denied media credentials because of Al Jazeera’s pro-Jihad bias.

As the Beacon reports, “Cassel is a photojournalist with Al Jazeera English,” and “Garen is a cofounder of Four Corners Media. Another Four Corners Media cofounder, Marie-Helene Carleton, had initially applied for television credentials as an Al Jazeera English employee.”

One Way Liberals are Just Like Radical Islamists

With the bankruptcy of Detroit in the news, a recent compilation of the many failures of the Motor City reveals one stat that shows how liberals are similar to radical Islamists at least in as much as they want to keep their people illiterate, stupid and easily controlled.

Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge blog has a very disheartening post titled, “25 Facts About The Fall Of Detroit That Will Leave You Shaking Your Head,” and aside from giving us a perfect example of how liberal policies are an abject failure in every case, it also shows one stat that proves an essentially evil aspect of liberalism.

His point number nine is this: “An astounding 47 percent of the residents of the city of Detroit are functionally illiterate.” (Durden cited CBS Detroit for his stat.)

Correspondingly, upwards to 70 percent of the Muslim world cannot read.

Pfleger, a long-time left-wing activist in the city, took to the streets of Chicago holding a sign that read “I Am Trayvon Martin,” and announced to the media that on Sunday he was going to urge his flock of mostly African Americans at St. Sabina Church to “civil disobedience.”

Before the verdict was announced on July 13, Pfleger took to his Facebook page and in an all caps post asked God for a conviction of Zimmerman.

NBC’s Deceptive Editing Makes Rabbi Appear to be Covering Up Sex Abuse

-By Warner Todd Huston

In a June 24 report for NBC’s Rock Center, video for a story was deceptively edited and misleading voice overs added to quotes from an Hasidic Rabbi that made it seem as if the Rabbi was insisting that allegations of sex abuse should only be handled internally, within the community, and should not be taken to police. But in fact Rabbi Avraham Berkowitz did not say that at all.

After a series of emails from Rabbi Berkowitz complaining of the deceptive edits the web entry of the Rock Center story has an update and the video was pulled, but even that update does not really address the extremely unfair treatment that Berkowitz received at the hands of NBC’s editors

The story was ostensibly to have been an “inside look” at the Hasidic community in New York and in a segment near the end of the report the piece turned to recent sex abuse charges leveled at Nechamya Weberman, a once respected member of the community who acted as a “therapist” for the other members of his community.
