Some of the bodies had been charred. Some had slash marks across their faces. One young victim was found to be scalped and few others were found with cut off hands and legs.

The Muslim hackers shouted “Allah Akhbar” (God is Great) before breaking into homes and hacking the Christians to death.

The Saudi-Led Arab Lobby’s Undue Influence

King Abdullah pulled out all the stops for Hillary Clinton’s February visit:

Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal donated $20 million each to Harvard and Georgetown Universities “to promote interfaith understanding.” For Georgetown, the gift was the second-largest ever received. Cornell University, Stanford University, and Texas A&M University are partnering with a Saudi university, lured by one of the world’s largest supercomputers (guess where the money for that came from).

Charming (as a snake is charming) Saudi ambassador to the US Adel al Jubeir (appointed 2007) has been shaping the American dialog since 9-11. As the Saudi foreign policy advisor he was Time’s Person of the Week in December 2002, was guest on Charlie Rose in 2003, charmed CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in 2004 and captivated Blitzer again in 2005, was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from the University of North Texas in 2006, hosted a glittering reception at the Saudi’s American embassy in 2007, mesmerized Christian and Jewish leaders with an interfaith conference in 2008Read more at frontpage.americandaughter.com
 

“If my beliefs offend you, I really don’t care”

Overnight Thread: Pat Condell on Geert Wilders, the Netherlands, and the Death of Free Speech

Amplifyd from bigjournalism.com

Whatever you think of Pat Condell — the British internet talking head, former Roman Catholic and now committed atheist, who regularly heaps hot helpings of scorn on his favorite targets (Islam, religion in general, multiculturalism, European cultural suicide) — you have to admit the man is both brave and funny.

Here he is on the grotesque mockery of the judicial process currently going on in Holland in the Geert Wilders trial:

Our friends the Saudis: Vicious Crackdown on Valentine’s Day by Religious Police

the year become illegal for a few days... Many shops resort to hiding Valentine’s Day gifts to avoid drawing unwanted attention from the religious police.

“If they (the Haia) see one heart-shaped item or red rose they will take the stuff and close the shop,” Marth Sanluis, a Filipino worker at a flower shop in Jeddah, was quoted as saying.

Earlier today the Saudi religious police successfully disrupted Valentine’s Day celebrations throughout the Middle Eastern country.
…The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, also known as Haia, has been warning shops not to sell such items in the run-up to the annual holiday, deemed by the police as un-Islamic…
Florists, pastry shops, cosmetic stores and gift shops have all been under increased scrutiny in the week leading up to Valentine’s Day, celebrated around the world by giving gifts to loved ones.
“The presence of Haia officials near places where Valentine’s Day is likely to be celebrated is quite natural and it occurs every year,” Turki al-Shelail, spokesman for the Haia in Riyadh, was quoted as saying… “Our aim is to enlighten people so that they will not take part in such un-Islamic activities.”
The crackdown has become a well-publicised annual game of cat and mouse between shops and the religious police as gift items that are available throughoutRead more at directorblue.blogspot.com
 

Shariah Finance, Criminal Wrongdoing in the AIG Takeover

First, the Shariah authorities themselves tell us that Shariah is a holistic and indivisible whole and that you cannot carve out “business law Shariah” from any other of its constituent parts, like the law of jihad. And, you can see this in that part of Shariah called civil law or fiqh al-muamalat. According to Shariah, AIG cannot invest its takaful funds... read more

Will the Special Inspector General for the TARP Funds Investigate the Illegal Trust?
by Frank Gaffney

Yesterday we broke the story of possible criminal wrongdoing in regards to the bailout of AIG by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, then Director of the New York Federal Reserve, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

Qaradawi
these facts were discovered while securities litigator David Yerushalmi and the Thomas More Law Center was representing Iraq War vet Kevin Murray in Murray vs. Geithner, et al. Mr. Murray is rightfully horrified that the very doctrines of the enemy he faced in combat would be promoted by the US government. Specifically, prior to the U.S. government’s takeover of the insurance giant AIG, the company was the world’s leading promoter of Shariah-compliant finance products and businesses. Bailing out and forcefully (and illegally) taking ownership of AIG put the American taxpayer in the position of advocating Shariah-compliant finance, which is troubling on many levels:Read more at biggovernment.com

Prince Al-Waleed Is Going After Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp

If Murdock losses this battle the American people will have only the secondary news sources to rely on. This would be a tragedy and will bring us another step towards Muslim domination.
Make no mistake; the Prince has every intention to Muslimize America, if we let him. He is no friend to America and no friend of yours.

Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud was interviewed by Neil Cavuto on Fox News the other day. I have included both parts of this interview at the end of my article, for your evaluation.
He is a social architect who was educated in the States with a Masters degree in Social Sciences. He has wasted no time in using this degree to mold the American people in his Muslim likeness.
He mentions that he stays out of American politics. That’s not true!
The Prince “is” the point man for Muslim Arab influence in Washington. No one from the Arab world has more creditability with our President than the Prince.
With massive holdings in our largest bank Citigroup he already is well on his way to influencing our banking industry with offices in every small town and large city in America.
Now, the Prince is going after Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, the one last source of information not poisoned by his influence. The Fox News TV channel is now the most trusted news source in American.

Google Censors Its Search Results: Anti-Islam Searches Fail to Appear

The company also says on its website: 'We try to filter out suggestions that include pornographic terms, dirty words, and hate and violence terms. If you encounter a term that should not be suggested, please let us know by posting in the Google Web Search Help Forum.'

A Google spokesman claimed the strange absence of results was a software problem.

Search engine Google has been accused of censoring its results after users discovered it never suggests search terms when it comes to Islam.

In a time-saving feature the internet phenomenon, whose motto is ‘don’t be evil’, helpfully suggests common searches as people type in what they are looking for.

For example, if you type in ‘Christianity is’ in the search bar a whole range of options flash up including controversial suggestions such as ‘Christianity is fake’ and ‘Christianity is a cult’.

Google has been accused of censoring offensive searches relating to Islam

But anyone typing in a similar phrase which replaces Christianity with Islam gets no suggestions at all.

The anomaly has led some to conclude the firm, famed for its democratic approach to the world of information it controls, is censoring the search results.

Google’s normal search suggestions originate from searches made around the world, adverts and known web pages.

“It’s not exactly the kind of speech you would have heard from Henry V or Churchill.”
Charles Krauthammer and Stephen Hayes slammed Barack Obama’s weak Afghan Surge speech tonight.
As usual, Krauthammer was right on

Charles Krauthammer: I thought it was a rather strange speech. It was defensive and it was a lot of hedging. the president said at the end that our resolve is unwavering. He said in August this was a war of necessity. And then he gives us all of the reasons that we need to start leaving in a year and a half. And among the reasons he gave was that it was a very expensive war and we have a bad economy and that’s at least of equal importance. It’s not exactly the kind of speech you would have heard from Henry V or Churchill. And it’s not exactly the kind of speech you heard from George Bush when he announced his surge.

Update from Seattle copkiller:

Seattle police kill suspect in officer slayings

SEATTLE — The man suspected of gunning down four police officers in a suburban coffee shop was shot and killed by a lone patrolman investigating a stolen car early Tuesday. Four people were arrested for allegedly helping the suspect elude authorities during a massive two-day manhunt.      Associated Press

From our “nothing to do with Islam” department:

Clemmons may be dead, but the quest to hold his enablers – all of them — accountable for their action and inaction has only just begun.
