		<description><![CDATA[A dark past revived under America's Radical-in-Chief. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/1379512720-OaklandCopCar2.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-248436" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/1379512720-OaklandCopCar2.jpg" alt="1379512720-OaklandCopCar2" width="348" height="260" /></a>In 2007, then-Senator Barack Obama signified that he represented a sea-change in the nature of American politics. Obama proclaimed that as a member of the younger generation — born in 1961, at the tail end of the baby boom — he no longer wanted to participate in the stale and tired politics of the 1960s. Instead, he wanted to thrust America forward into a &#8220;different kind of politics,&#8221; one beyond the &#8220;psychodrama of the baby-boom generation — a tale rooted in old grudges and revenge plots hatched on a handful of college campuses long ago — played out on the national stage.&#8221;</p>
<p>Like most of what President Obama said, this turned out to be a lie. President Obama isn&#8217;t merely a reflection of 1960s politics. He represents a return to those ugly politics: the nastiness of anti-cop sentiment, the divisiveness of generalized anti-Western foreign policy, the idiocy of a war between the sexes and against the exclusivity of the traditional family structure. President Obama isn&#8217;t representative of a new breed. He is the child of the 1960s politics he once claimed to abhor.</p>
<p>Those politics, at least, had the excuse of an uglier America — one fresh with the wounds of Jim Crow, the sins of sexism, the controversy of Vietnam. Today&#8217;s 1960s reruns seem wildly out of context. But that&#8217;s the point: For the radicals of the 1960s, just as for the establishment Obamaites of today, context simply does not matter. When you are attempting to craft utopia, context is irrelevant — and human beings become either tools or obstacles toward the creation of that utopia. The vision never changes. Only the calendar does.</p>
<p>And so we&#8217;re watching racial tensions on a scale unseen since the 1970s play out across America — with the support of the political establishment. The images of police officers turning their backs on New York Mayor Bill De Blasio mirror the images of officers booing New York Mayor John Lindsay in 1972 at the funeral of Officer Rocco Laurie.</p>
<p>The images of rioters burning down Ferguson mirror the images of rioters burning down Detroit in 1967. Never mind that America of 2014 is not the America of 1967 or 1972 — if Obama and his allies have to recreate that chaotic era to forward their own political ends, they will.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re watching the foreign policy of the hard-left McGovernites re-establish itself, this time from the Oval Office. The images of Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., railing against the CIA on the floor of the Senate over the CIA&#8217;s use of enhanced interrogation techniques mirror the images of Senator Mark Hatfield, R-Ore., railing against the American military in the aftermath of the Winter Soldier hearings of 1971. The images of the Yazidis starving on mountaintops in Iraq mirror the images of Vietnamese rushing onto boats to escape the horrors of the communists in the aftermath of the Vietnam War.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re watching the divisive domestic politics of the social radicals reassert themselves. The images of failed Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis standing in pink sneakers to list the glories of late-term abortion mirror the images of Gloria Steinem blathering about &#8220;reproductive freedom&#8221; in 1971. The images of Nancy Pelosi touting freedom from &#8220;job lock&#8221; thanks to Obamacare mirror the images of President Johnson effectively doing the same thanks to the war on poverty.</p>
<p>President Obama and his ilk quest for a return to hopier, changier times — times like the 1960s. And so they will take us all back to the future. Sadly, our future will then be no more than a reversion to insanity of our past.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[What the statistics really say. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/police-badge.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-247055" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/police-badge-263x350.jpg" alt="police-badge" width="234" height="311" /></a>In an era where public debate is replete with Big Lies, we are routinely treated to examples of shallow, insipid journalism dedicated to propping up the most nonsensical fictions imaginable. A case in point is a <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/08/police-shootings-michael-brown-ferguson-black-men"><span style="color: #011480;">piece</span></a> that appeared in the far-left periodical <i>Mother Jones</i>, titled “Exactly How Often Do Police Shoot Unarmed Black Men?” Purporting to explain the root causes of the racial unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, the article&#8217;s author, <i>Mother Jones</i> editorial coordinator Jaeah Lee, presents a smattering of statistics—utterly devoid of context or analysis—as evidence that “the killing of Michael Brown by police … was no anomaly.”</p>
<p>For instance, Lee cites a 2007 <a href="http://www.colorlines.com/archives/2007/11/killed_by_the_cops.html"><span style="color: #011480;">study</span></a><i> </i>which found that in ten major cities “there were a disproportionately high number of African Americans among police shooting victims,” and <a href="http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=tp&amp;tid=703"><span style="color: #011480;">another</span></a> which concluded that “black people are more likely than whites or Hispanics to experience a police officer&#8217;s threat or use of force.” To buttress these allegations, the author <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/08/police-shootings-michael-brown-ferguson-black-men"><span style="color: #011480;">quotes</span></a> Missouri ACLU official Jeffrey Mittman&#8217;s lamentation that “unarmed African-American men are shot and killed by police at an alarming rate,” and NAACP president Cornell Williams Brooks&#8217; claim that a destructive “culture of policing” is “rubbing salt into longstanding racial wounds” by targeting black people with “overwhelmingly major, often lethal &#8230; force.”</p>
<p>Apparently it never occurred to Ms. Lee, or to these other voices in her echo chamber, that there might be some significance in the fact that blacks, who are 13% of the U.S. population, themselves <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/article/393676/finding-meaning-ferguson-heather-mac-donald"><span style="color: #011480;">commit</span></a> many more homicides than white and Hispanic perpetrators—<i>combined</i>. Young black males in particular commit homicide at nearly <i>ten times</i> the combined rate of their white and Hispanic counterparts. As Manhattan Institute scholar <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/article/393676/finding-meaning-ferguson-heather-mac-donald"><span style="color: #011480;">Heather Mac Donald</span></a> explains, “That astronomically higher homicide-commission rate means that police officers are going to be disproportionately in black neighborhoods to fight crime, where they will more likely encounter armed shooting suspects.” Blacks nationwide are also dramatically <a href="http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013/tables/table-43"><span style="color: #011480;">overrepresented</span></a> in the commission of other serious crimes such as rape, robbery, and assault—precisely the types of offenses most likely to trigger a confrontation with police that could result in a fatality.</p>
<p>In her <i>Mother Jones</i> piece, Ms. Lee devotes considerable attention to New York City, where “<a href="http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/08/police-shootings-michael-brown-ferguson-black-men"><span style="color: #011480;">more</span></a> black people have been shot by NYPD officers &#8230; than have Hispanics or whites.” But this begs an obvious question: “So what?” The same principle that applies to the United States as a whole, applies also to New York: W<span style="color: #272727;">hile blacks constitute 23% of the city&#8217;s population, they <a href="http://www.city-journal.org/2010/eon0514hm.html">commit</a> </span>two-thirds of all its violent crimes, including nearly 70% of all robberies and 80% of all shootings. And whites, who are 35% of the city’s population, commit just 5% of its violent crimes and a mere 1.8% of its shootings. Thus, blacks are statistically far more likely to be involved in volatile situations demanding police intervention. It&#8217;s really not very complicated.</p>
<p>The <i>Mother Jones</i> article also presents a chart with a racial breakdown of those who were shot and killed by New York City police between 2000 and 2011. Yet remarkably, the author makes no mention of the glaring <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/article/393676/finding-meaning-ferguson-heather-mac-donald"><span style="color: #011480;">fact</span></a> that instances of police-on-Asian shootings are nearly invisible in this chart—indeed, <i>blacks, Hispanics, and whites alike</i> are far more likely than Asians to be shot in police encounters. What could explain this? If we were to apply Ms. Lee&#8217;s line of reasoning, we&#8217;d have no choice but to conclude that New York police officers, for some reason, feel less racial animus against Asians than they feel against everyone else. A more realistic explanation is that Asians in the city have very low crime rates and thus have comparatively little contact with police.</p>
<p>The most comprehensive information we have on the issue of police shootings and race in recent years comes from a 2011 Bureau of Justice Statistics <a href="http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/ard0309st.pdf"><span style="color: #011480;">study</span></a> that covers the period from 2003 to 2009. Of all suspects who are known to have been killed by law-enforcement officers during that time frame, 41.7% were white, 31.7% were black, and 20.3% were Hispanic. Also during that period, blacks accounted for about 38.5% of all arrests for violent crimes—i.e., the types of crimes most likely to lead to a potentially fatal confrontation with police. These numbers do not in any way suggest a lack of restraint by police in their dealings with black suspects. On the contrary, they suggest the exact opposite.</p>
<p>Funny how the real world rarely conforms to the certainties of the race-obsessed Left, isn&#8217;t it?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How Obama has implemented Alinsky's tactics of social revolution to tear a city – and a nation – apart. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Saul_Alinsky_271.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-246727" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Saul_Alinsky_271-450x341.jpg" alt="Saul_Alinsky_27" width="355" height="269" /></a>If the late Saul Alinsky—the America-hating godfather of community organizing—had fathered a black son, he&#8217;d look like Barack Obama.[1]  Obama has embraced, revered, and employed Alinsky&#8217;s philosophy and tactics of social revolution <i>for decades</i>. Indeed, he even <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/01/behind-a-class-warfare-charge-the-shadow-of-saul-alinsky/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">taught</span></a> Alinsky&#8217;s <a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/study-saul-alinsky-to-understand-barack-obama/article/243226"><span style="color: #0433ff;">methods</span></a> in community-organizing workshops and seminars in Chicago, when he was a much younger Marxist. As we witness the continuing racial unrest sparked by the shooting of Michael Brown and the Ferguson grand jury&#8217;s subsequent decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, it is vital to understand that <i>everything </i>the protesters/rioters are doing—in Ferguson and elsewhere—is straight out of Alinsky&#8217;s most famous publications, <i>Rules For Radicals</i> and <i>Reveille For Radicals</i>. And Obama has encouraged them, every step of the way.</p>
<p>Obama and Alinsky never actually met in person, as Alinsky died when Obama was just 11 years old. Happily for the future president, by that time he had already been introduced to the man who would mentor him throughout his adolescent years—the America-hating, pro-Soviet, pro-Stalin, Communist writer Frank Marshall Davis. Thus, when Obama eventually encountered Alinsky through the latter&#8217;s writings, the young community organizer was well prepared ideologically to soak up Alinsky&#8217;s message.</p>
<p>In his quest to cultivate the type of chaos that would spark social revolution against America&#8217;s capitalist system, Alinsky exhorted activists to constantly “rub raw the resentments of the people” and “fan the latent hostilities to the point of overt expression”—but to do this in measured tones, so as not to “scare off” middle-class Americans.</p>
<p>Thus did Obama dutifully and blandly call for “unity” and calm in the immediate aftermath of Michael Brown&#8217;s “heartbreaking and tragic” death, even as he repeatedly reminded us that: “police should not be bullying or arresting” anyone without cause; “in too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and left as objects to fear”; “there is no excuse for excessive force by police”; “the justice gap” between whites and nonwhites is unacceptable; “the criminal-justice system doesn&#8217;t treat people of all races equally”; and “too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement, guilty of walking while black, or driving while black, judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness.” And when the grand jury in Ferguson subsequently chose not to indict Darren Wilson because the officer obviously had shot Michael Brown in self-defense, Obama pronounced the black community&#8217;s indignation to be “an understandable reaction.”</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s carefully chosen words—all delivered in the type of nonthreatening tenor advocated by Saul Alinsky—clearly communicated a single, foundational theme to African Americans: <i>In the racist cesspool known as the United States, black people are routinely treated like second-class citizens, if not subhumans. Oh, and by the way, please remain calm. Wink, wink.</i></p>
<p>Alinsky also taught that in some cases activists must be completely willing—for the sake of the moral principles in whose name they profess to act—to turn up the proverbial heat and watch society descend into chaos and anarchy; to “go into a state of complete confusion and draw [their] opponent into the vortex of the same confusion.”<span style="color: #680900;"> </span>“Wherever possible,” Alinsky counseled, “go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.”</p>
<p>Mobs of shouting protesters can accomplish that objective quite effectively—even if, as in the present case, they are oblivious to the irony that the poster-child of their crusade is a multiple felon who tried unsuccessfully to murder a police officer. Such demonstrations tend to give onlookers the impression that a mass movement is not only well underway, but may actually be preparing to shift into an even higher gear at any moment. A “mass impression,” said Alinsky, can be lasting and intimidating. Thus did President Obama recently meet at the White House with Al Sharpton, his leading advisor on race-related matters, and other protest <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2014/11/17/obama-told-civil-rights-activists-keep-ferguson-staying-on-course/"><span style="color: #680900;">leaders</span></a> from Ferguson, urging them to “<a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/11/obama-meets-with-ferguson-activists-says-hes-concerned-they-stay-on-course/"><span style="color: #680900;">stay on course</span></a>” with their activism.</p>
<p>Yet another highly noteworthy observation by Alinsky was this: “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.” “The threat,” he explained, “is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Thus, “if your organization is small in numbers,… raise a din and clamor that will make the listener believe that your organization numbers many more than it does.”</p>
<p>This can be well achieved by orchestrating a host of simultaneous demonstrations in multiple cities or venues, exactly as the highly organized Gentle Giant crusade has been doing. The stature of these rallies is magnified by the fact that they receive lots of media attention, while scores of millions of ordinary Americans who view them with contempt and dread are busy quietly going about their lives, caring for their families, working at their jobs, and pursuing their personal aspirations as they see fit. Such people are many thousands of times more numerous than the perpetually aggrieved rabble-rousers of the Left, but Alinsky understood—as Obama understands today—that a spraying skunk inevitably gets all the attention when it intrudes unexpectedly upon a picnic.</p>
<p>The America-hating Alinsky also taught that activists, in order to cast themselves as defenders of high-minded principles, must theatrically convey “shock, horror, and moral outrage” whenever any of their demands—however inconsequential—are not met. And no one conveys such emotions more convincingly than Obama&#8217;s aforementioned racial “advisor,” Al Sharpton, who vows to continue the Michael Brown/anti-police brutality crusade until the end of time if necessary. Alinsky understood quite well that even <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1527"><span style="color: #0433ff;">a pathetic moral degenerate</span></a> like Sharpton can be an effective revolutionary if he is skilled in the otherwise worthless arts of bluster and righteous indignation.</p>
<p>Lest anyone think there might be a way to bridge the gap between civil society and the revolutionaries in the vanguard of the current Gentle Giant Brigades, a dose of reality is in order: Alinsky emphasized that the overarching objective of any crusade is <i>never</i> to promote peace or reconciliation, but rather to be unwaveringly “dedicated to an eternal war” in which “there are no rules of fair play” and “no compromise” whatsoever; to mercilessly “pulverize” people with “fear”; and ultimately to “force their capitulation.”</p>
<p>We got a glimpse of this mindset recently when we <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/393380/get-ready-super-bowl-outrage-ferguson-deroy-murdock"><span style="color: #680900;">learned</span></a> that two New Black Panther Party members were plotting not only to blow up St. Louis&#8217;s famed Gateway Arch, but also to <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/ferguson-murder-plot-black-panthers-planned-killing-police-chief-prosecutor"><span style="color: #680900;">assassinate</span></a> Ferguson police chief Tom Jackson and the city&#8217;s prosecuting attorney Bob McCulloch. And a shrieking Louis Farrakhan, for his part, has been busy <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2014/11/29/farrakhan-on-ferguson-well-tear-this-gdamn-country-up-video/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">urging</span></a> black Americans to throw Molotov cocktails at white people in order to fulfill a scriptural “law of retaliation”; condemning whites for allegedly “killing us” in large numbers; and warning that “we’ll tear this goddamn country up!”</p>
<p>Like all Marxists, Obama, Sharpton, Farrakhan, and the rest of their fellow revolutionaries seek to tear society apart by pitting the “races,” the “classes,” and the “genders” against one another—“rubbing raw” their respective “resentments” until hatred abounds in every person&#8217;s heart and mayhem fills the streets. Michael Brown&#8217;s corpse is merely a building block for these rabble rousers. They know that someday another African American will be killed by a white police officer and thus be anointed as their movement&#8217;s next martyred saint. Bit by bit, the inconvenient fact that Brown was a violent, abusive criminal whose death was brought about entirely by his own actions will be airbrushed out of public memory. And the grievance mongers of the “civil rights” movement will wistfully remember him as just another innocent black victim whose life was tragically cut short by white depravity.</p>
<p>Saul Alinsky would be proud.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong><br />
[1] In March 2012, not long after the death of Trayvon Martin in Florida, President Obama famously <a href="http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/03/obama-i-had-a-son-hed-look-like-trayvon-118439.html">said</a>: &#8220;If I had a son, he&#8217;d look like Trayvon.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/beyonce.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-246622" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/beyonce-450x299.jpg" alt="beyonce" width="274" height="182" /></a>Just in time to add fuel to the Ferguson fire, superstar singer Beyoncé has re-released a <a href="https://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2014/11/29/beyonce-sports-niqab-in-new-ferguson-like-rioting-video/">video</a> for her dirge-like, 2013 single “Superpower,” in which she makes rioting against law enforcement look hip and romantic.</p>
<p>The overlong video opens with an image of the Black Power fist – a hint of things to come. Then the camera finds Beyoncé striding in super slo-mo down a stretch of urban Los Angeles devastation in a flesh-baring outfit that is difficult to describe; suffice it to say that, like too much fashion today, it is runway-fabulous but no one would wear it outside of a Beyoncé video. The salient point is that her getup inexplicably pairs this semi-nudity with a niqab, which she draws up over her face, exposing only her eyes.</p>
<p>This apparently displeased some Muslims. Twitter lit up with <a href="https://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2014/11/29/beyonce-sports-niqab-in-new-ferguson-like-rioting-video/">complaints</a> such as, “Dear Beyoncé: Do you think you’re going to get away with wearing a version of Islamic head-dress, niqab, while promoting your Demonic music?” Another tweet: “Quoting our holy Quran and dressing in a niqab isn’t a fashion statement you dumb beyonce.” In the video’s context, it’s possible that Beyoncé intended for the look to be more Occupy Wall Street than Islamic. Or perhaps she was wearing a niqab to make Muslim head coverings sexier and more culturally acceptable. If so, it failed to convince at least one feminist, who lashed out on Twitter: “Sorry, Beyonce. Probably not in the best interest for women’s rights to make the niqab fashionable. Just sayin’.”</p>
<p>Back to the video. Beyoncé is gradually joined by a growing crowd of chic, wannabe revolutionaries sporting edgy hairstyles and clothing that looks like a privileged designer’s ridiculous fantasy of how urban youth dress. Some of them conceal their identities with gas masks and scarves, Occupy-style, because they know they’re about to commit crimes.</p>
<p>The dirge drags on as Beyoncé pouts, scowls, and growls. Her mob smashes car windows with baseball bats, hurls Molotov cocktails, and burns cop cars while Beyoncé sings: “The laws of the world never stopped us once/’Cause together we got plenty super power.” Except for the music and the ultrachic posturing, it suggests the real-life “sensitive urban zones” of Paris, where immigrant “youth” go on nightly, car-immolating rampages and challenge the police in territorial skirmishes.</p>
<p>As the song draws mercifully to a close, the privileged Beyoncé – having peeled off the niqab and donned a camouflage jacket that costs probably $3000 – faces off with her defiant, multicultural mob of chiseled cheekbones against a line of cops in riot gear. She stands next to a man in a balaclava reminiscent of her niqab. The two of them clasp hands <em>Thelma and Louise</em>-style in anticipation of the confrontation to come. The message: rioting, property destruction, anarchy, and attacking cops are cool – and nothing influences youth more than the aura of cool.</p>
<p>Who cares, you ask? She’s just another left-leaning celebrity exposing her own political ignorance. Why is her video important? It’s important because Beyoncé is arguably the biggest entertainer in the world now. With over 118 million albums sold, she is the top artist of the 2000s, with 17 Grammy awards, a Golden Globe nomination, and untold millions of fans worldwide. Her pop culture influence is incalculable, and pop culture – not politics – is where the progressive control takes root. When Beyoncé weighs in on an issue like the Ferguson tinderbox, her fans absorb the message and pump their fists along with her.</p>
<p>The video was actually first released last December, long before the August 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson. Why would Beyoncé believe that this is an appropriate time to put it back in the public eye?</p>
<p>Keep in mind that she is married to rapper Jay-Z, who has none of Beyoncé’s talent but all of her racial supremacism and political radicalism.* His song lyrics are replete with profanity, racial slurs, misogyny, glorification of violence, and expressions of racial grievance – not to mention anti-police hatred. “Dirt Off Your Shoulder”<em> </em>boasts of giving “a middle finger to the law.” A music video titled “<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJt7gNi3Nr4">No Church in the Wild</a>,” which “Superpower” resembles, celebrates anarchy and depicts police trying to quell a violent riot. And “<a href="http://www.mrc.org/articles/obama-welcomes-jay-z-support-violent-misogynistic-lyrics-and-all">99 Problems</a>” features a verse about blacks being racially profiled by the “motherfu**ing law.” In 2009 he released a <a href="http://www.mrc.org/articles/obama-welcomes-jay-z-support-violent-misogynistic-lyrics-and-all">song</a> in honor of the newly-elected Obama entitled “My President is Black” (imagine if a country singer back in 2005 had performed a song called “My President is White”). The massively wealthy Jay-Z (he and his wife have a net worth of $1 billion) has also been a <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jay-z-occupy-wall-street-shirt-rocawear-260334">supporter</a>, or at least an exploiter, of the Occupy movement.</p>
<p>The two are arguably Obama’s closest, and certainly most famous, friends in the entertainment industry. MTV even <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/1694108/jay-z-obama-bromance/">described</a> their relationship with the President as “a mutual affection society” and Jay-Z’s friendship with him a “bromance.” In September 2012, Jay-Z and Beyoncé hosted a $40,000-per-person <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/18/obama-jay-z-beyonce-fundraiser_n_1895494.html">fundraising</a>reception which <a href="http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/lapdog-abc-trip-cuba-obama-donors-beyonce-and-jay-z-much-ado-about-nothing">took in</a> more than <a href="http://theybf.com/2012/09/18/beyonce-jay-z-raise-4-million-parties-with-president-obama-at-4040-club">$4 million</a> for Obama’s re-election campaign. Subsequently the dynamic duo were given State Department permission for a grand, whitewashed <a href="http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/lapdog-abc-trip-cuba-obama-donors-beyonce-and-jay-z-much-ado-about-nothing">tour</a> of the Communist utopia in Cuba, where Jay-Z appeared <a href="http://colorlines.com/archives/2013/04/who_needs_to_get_informed_on_che_guevara_jay-z_or_marco_rubio.html">wearing</a> a Ché T-shirt (in solidarity with a murdering coward who held musicians and <a href="http://www.thecommentator.com/article/3657/che_guevara_was_no_hero_he_was_a_racist">blacks</a> in contempt).</p>
<p>Music entertainers have a long tradition of anti-establishment, anti-authoritarian lyrics aimed at a rebellious youth audience. I don’t expect Beyoncé to come out with a pro-police anthem or an ode to Darren Wilson. But to <em>re-release</em> a video that openly advocates violent conflict with the police at this time of heightened tension between blacks and law enforcement is irresponsible at best, and incitement to violence at worst. The fact that Beyoncé is so closely linked to the President of the United States makes it all the more unconscionable, albeit unsurprising, since the “post-racial” Obama, who <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2014/11/17/obama-told-civil-rights-activists-keep-ferguson-staying-on-course/">urged</a> protesters to “stay the course,” hasn’t lifted a finger to quell the violent animus over Ferguson.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/alandone.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-246508" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/alandone-413x350.jpg" alt="alandone" width="320" height="271" /></a></p>
<p>A week after grand jurors in Ferguson, Mo., did their civic duty and resisted pressure from President Obama on down to lynch an innocent police officer, Al Sharpton and Ferguson riot leaders gathered at the White House yesterday to make plans to further exacerbate the racial tensions they created in order to cripple the economy and attack civil society.</p>
<p>These domestic subversives refuse to accept the official finding Nov. 24 that no probable cause existed to charge police officer Darren Wilson, who is white, in the Aug. 9 death of Michael Brown, who was black.</p>
<p>The finding of &#8220;no true bill&#8221; contradicts the Left&#8217;s preferred narrative that racist white cops are gunning down innocent blacks with impunity. The failure to indict Wilson, who has since resigned from the Ferguson police department, has driven left-wingers and racial grievance mongers into an exquisite state of apoplexy. They refuse to accept that the evidence considered by the grand jury overwhelmingly, indisputably demonstrated that Brown tried to seize Wilson&#8217;s gun in an attempt to do the officer harm. To put it more bluntly, there is proof that in their fateful 90-second encounter Brown tried to kill Wilson, even though the media has consistently identified Wilson as the aggressor.</p>
<p>But facts are rarely obstacles when left-wingers set their minds on something.</p>
<p>At the initial White House meeting of the Michael Brown truther brigade, Obama <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/DC-Decoder/2014/1201/Ferguson-day-at-the-White-House-What-did-Obama-accomplish"><span style="color: #0433ff;">proceeded</span></a> from the demonstrably false assumption that a tragic injustice was done to the late teenaged thug. The president <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/12/01/remarks-president-after-meeting-elected-officials-community-and-faith-le"><span style="color: #0433ff;">said</span></a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>As I said last week in the wake of the grand jury decision, I think Ferguson laid bare a problem that is not unique to St. Louis or that area, and is not unique to our time, and that is a simmering distrust that exists between too many police departments and too many communities of color. The sense that in a country where one of our basic principles, perhaps the most important principle, is equality under the law, that too many individuals, particularly young people of color, do not feel as if they are being treated fairly.</p></blockquote>
<p>To remedy this problem that was far less of a problem before Obama was inaugurated, the president announced he was appointing two left-wing establishment puppets to head a useless task force</p>
<blockquote><p>to reach out and listen to law enforcement, and community activists and other stakeholders, but is going to report to me specifically in 90 days with concrete recommendations, including best practices for communities where law enforcement and neighborhoods are working well together &#8212; how do they create accountability; how do they create transparency; how do they create trust; and how can we at the federal level work with state and local communities to make sure that some of those best practices get institutionalized.</p></blockquote>
<p>Even though there is no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Darren Wilson, police officers are going to receive stricter scrutiny. Obama also proposed spending $263 million to put body cameras on cops.</p>
<p>Much of this soothing, focus group-tested Washington-speak sounds fairly innocuous until the guest list for the event is revealed. The same people who instigated the riots and looting in Ferguson <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/12/unreal-obama-meets-with-ferguson-riot-organizer-at-white-house-to-discuss-police-brutality/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">were in attendance</span></a> listening to the Community Organizer in Chief. Among the attendees were: Ashley Yates, Millennial Activists United; Rasheen Aldridge, Young Activists St. Louis; Brittany Packnett, St. Louis educator and activist; T-Dubb-O, St. Louis hip-hop artist; James Hayes, Ohio Students Association; Phillip Agnew, Dream Defenders; and Jose Lopez, Make the Road New York.</p>
<p>These people are the problem, not the solution. They had no business being at the table (but then again, neither does Obama).</p>
<p>Yates went so far as to go on record the month before the grand jury decision as saying violence would be a legitimate response to a non-indictment in the Darren Wilson case.</p>
<p>“If they can’t serve justice in this, the people have every right to go out and express their rage in a manner that is equal to what we have suffered,” Yates said at the time.</p>
<p>“We’re going to take our anger out on the people who have failed us, and if they are prepared to deal with that, then let them have at it,” he said.</p>
<p>New York&#8217;s radical mayor Bill de Blasio and Al Sharpton, whose racist, hate-filled rants <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1527"><span style="color: #0433ff;">have gotten Americans killed</span></a> on more than one occasion, were also in attendance at the White House yesterday.</p>
<p>The day before, Sharpton was in Ferguson pledging more violent protests. &#8220;You won the first round, Mr. Prosecutor, but don&#8217;t take your gloves off,&#8221; Sharpton said. &#8220;Justice will come to Ferguson.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not gonna stop marching and protesting until we do,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Sharpton isn&#8217;t even the most radical member of the leftist lynch mob screaming for Wilson&#8217;s blood.</p>
<p>The most explicit of the fire-breathing racist filth-purveyors in the Brown saga has to be professional white-hater and anti-Semite <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1325"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Louis Farrakhan</span></a>. Before an audience at Baltimore&#8217;s Morgan State University he <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2014/11/29/farrakhan-on-ferguson-well-tear-this-gdamn-country-up-video/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">promised</span></a> a violent uprising. If the demands of demonstrators who want Wilson dead are not met, “we’ll tear this goddamn country apart!”</p>
<p>Peaceful protests are only in the interest of “white folks,” said Farrakhan, who himself ought to be under constant FBI surveillance. “We going to die anyway,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Let’s die for something,” the Nation of Islam (NOI) head said to enthusiastic applause.</p>
<p>The parents of teenaged children need to show their kids how to lob Molotov cocktails, said Farrakhan, who is essentially the Islamic version of Obama&#8217;s longtime preacher Jeremiah Wright. “Teach your baby how to throw the bottle if they can. Fight,” he said, gesturing as if throwing an incendiary device.</p>
<p>Farrakhan said there is a “law of retaliation” in both the Bible and the Koran that demands the use of deadly force. “A law for retaliation,” he repeated while holding what appeared to be the NOI version of the Koran.</p>
<p>White Americans will only start taking black concerns seriously if blacks begin killing them, he said.</p>
<p>“As long as they [whites] kill us [blacks] and go to Wendy’s and have a burger and go to sleep, they’ll keep killing us,” said Farrakhan, who openly supports Islamic terrorist regimes abroad. “But when we die and they die, then soon we’re going to sit at a table and talk about it! We’re tired! We want some of this earth or we’ll tear this goddamn country up!”</p>
<p>Although President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder and their confederates in the media set the stage for the Ferguson-related civil unrest, publicly urging restraint and nonviolent protest on the one hand while claiming that police departments are hotbeds of racism that need to be reformed, Farrakhan attacked the two men for their perceived willingness to compromise.</p>
<p>Obama, Holder, and other black leaders show how out of touch they are with young blacks when they embrace what Farrakhan called &#8220;compromise.&#8221; By urging calm these leaders are betraying blacks and doing the bidding of “white people.”</p>
<p>“Tonight in Ferguson everybody is on edge,&#8221; Farrakhan said, implying the terror innocent citizens feel at the prospect of mob violence is a wonderful, useful thing.</p>
<p>In a way his comments echo those made a century earlier by Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Soviet secret police. &#8220;We stand for organized terror &#8212; this should be frankly admitted. Terror is an absolute necessity during times of revolution.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whatever makes whites nervous furthers the fundamental transformation of the United States, as the Left sees it.</p>
<p>&#8220;White folks have never been on edge after they killed a black man. Tonight they’re on edge; so on edge that our president has come out from behind the curtain to ask young black people: ‘Cool it. That’s not our way.’” Farrakhan said. “I heard you, Mr. President; and I asked myself a question: What brings you out of the shadows?&#8221;</p>
<p>Anyone who has followed Farrakhan knows he is dangerously mental unstable even on a good day but his lack of sound mind has never prevented him from spreading his gospel of hate or from winning fans on the Left. Anyone who is honest will acknowledge that the American activist Left has a long history of embracing deranged cult leaders from Rev. Jim Jones of the Peoples Temple in Guyana and Charles Manson to Revs. Jeremiah Wright and Al Sharpton.</p>
<p>Insanity is not in short supply on the topic of Michael Brown. Following the announcement of the non-indictment a week ago, Michael Brown’s stepfather <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/ferguson/burn-this-bitch-down-879056"><span style="color: #0433ff;">urged an angry mob</span></a> consisting of several hundred protesters to “Burn this bitch down!” This incitement to riot committed by Louis Head was captured on video.</p>
<p>Head, by the way, <a href="http://gotnews.com/breaking-cops-michaelbrown-stepfather-inciting-ferguson-race-riot-blood-gangbanger/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">is a member</span></a> of the notorious criminal street gang known as the Bloods. This may help to explain why photos exist showing Brown flashing Blood gang signals and why Brown&#8217;s family wore red, the Bloods&#8217; color, to his funeral. Head has two felony narcotics convictions. When released on parole, he violated probation and was remanded to state prison.</p>
<p>Strong-arm robbery is apparently a favorite crime in Brown&#8217;s family. Both Head and Brown&#8217;s mother Lesley McSpadden are themselves <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/Michael-Brown-family-merchandise-brawl-687543"><span style="color: #0433ff;">being investigated</span></a> by Ferguson police for the Oct. 18 robbery and assault of three vendors who were selling &#8220;Justice for Mike Brown&#8221; merchandise. A police report indicated 20 to 30 people rushed the sellers, taking $400 in cash and $1,500 in goods. McSpadden herself reportedly punched one of the vendors, Brown&#8217;s grandmother Pearlie Gordon.</p>
<p>The night of the announcement a minimum of 10 businesses and two police cars were destroyed or damaged by fire in Ferguson, and police arrested 61 individuals. Inexplicably on Nov. 24 Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon ordered the Missouri National Guard to stand down. Nixon had mobilized the Guard to deal with potential post-announcement unrest. Perhaps Obama&#8217;s people, who believe that blacks are entitled to riot at perceived injustices, got to him.</p>
<p>On the evening of the announcement, a 20-year-old man named Deandre Joshua <a href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/19621-was-murdered-ferguson-man-a-grand-jury-witness"><span style="color: #0433ff;">was killed and set on fire</span></a> in his car, mere feet from where Brown died months before. Joshua, a friend of Brown&#8217;s robbery accomplice Dorian Johnson, may have been a grand jury witness who corroborated Wilson&#8217;s story. One theory is he was killed in retaliation for his testimony.</p>
<p>Johnson is the recidivist lowlife who gave birth to the Big Lie that Brown tried to surrender to Wilson and was then gunned down by the police officer in cold blood. Even though Johnson&#8217;s false testimony was ultimately demolished by the evidence, scientific and otherwise, it helped to spur the &#8220;Hands Up, Don&#8217;t Shoot&#8221; protest movement.</p>
<p>It could be argued that Johnson is at least as morally culpable of attempting to murder Wilson as Brown was because Johnson tried to frame Wilson. If Wilson had been convicted of murder he could have faced the death penalty for murder. Supporters of Wilson are <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2014/11/26/Darren-Wilson-Allies-Want-Perjury-Charges-For-Dorian-Hands-up-Don-t-shoot-Johnson"><span style="color: #0433ff;">trying to obtain</span></a> a least a small measure of justice by having Johnson indicted for perjury but these efforts seem pointless in the current political climate.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Left is now trying to inflict as much pain as possible on black Americans in order to drive them to open revolt. The more black businesses are burnt to the ground, the better, in their view. Anyone killed in the process can be celebrated as a martyr for the cause.</p>
<p>Citing the purchasing power of black Americans, activists have been urging blacks and others to boycott retailers. Those involved in the Black Friday protests at big-box stores and sophomoric &#8220;die-ins&#8221; in major cities across the country four days ago are the same people who show up at Occupy Wall Street protests and demonstrations supporting minimum wage increases. The Left excels at recycling its activists. More actions were scheduled for yesterday, informally dubbed Cyber Monday, supposedly the biggest e-commerce sales day of the year.</p>
<p>Profit-generating businesses that communities need in order to survive are fair game in this effort to stamp out the parts of civil society that the Obama junta hasn&#8217;t gotten around to obliterating yet. This sick vengeance directed against people who had nothing to do with the demise of Michael Brown is justified because, as a Sixties radical once wrote, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” To left-wing sociopaths, innocent people are mere pieces on a chessboard.</p>
<p>Saul Alinsky-inspired groups have been busy agitating this holiday season.</p>
<p>As this writer <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/10/is_acorn_behind_violent_unrest_in_ferguson.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">previously reported</span></a>, the remnants of the ACORN activist empire have been deeply involved in the unrest in Ferguson. Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), a nonprofit group, is the rebranded Missouri branch of the former Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). President Obama used to work for ACORN, and he represented it in court as a lawyer.</p>
<p>MORE has been active in the protests and in efforts to free jailed demonstrators so they can continue vandalizing businesses, intimidating perceived adversaries, setting fires, throwing projectiles and urine at cops, and engaging in the left&#8217;s usual modes of so-called nonviolent protest. MORE believes that protesters should be given a blank check to inflict whatever harm they wish on the community in pursuit of social justice.</p>
<p>We now learn that an ACORN successor group was involved in recent post-grand jury decision unrest in Brooklyn, N.Y. New York Communities for Change (NYCC), another offspring of ACORN, <a href="http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/37/48/dtg-downtown-ferguson-protest-2014-12-05-bk_37_48.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">was involved in</span></a> disruptive demonstrations alongside Al Sharpton’s group, National Action Network. The Working Families Party, founded in New York State in the 1990s by ACORN members, is also involved in Ferguson-related actions.</p>
<p>But there is some good news.</p>
<p>There is evidence that ordinary Americans are beginning to fight back against all this mindless, destructive activism by left-wingers who want to hurt blacks and the American system as a whole.</p>
<p>An Internet video that has gone viral shows angry employees trying to get to work last Wednesday <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-California/2014/11/29/Driver-Confronts-Ferguson-Protesters-for-Making-Him-Late-to-Work-Deal-With-it-the-Right-F-ing-Way"><span style="color: #0433ff;">giving activists</span></a> blocking a highway a major dressing-down.</p>
<p>&#8220;I gotta go to Ross right now, homie,&#8221; Tyree Landrum said on Interstate 5 near San Diego. &#8220;If I don&#8217;t get there, I&#8217;m gonna get fired. I got six f***ing kids to feed, I gotta get this car off the&#8230; Day goes on homie. M*****f***ers get shot every f***ing day. Deal with it the right f***ing way, not like this.&#8221;</p>
<p>Landrum appears in the video yelling at a road-blocking protester. &#8220;I&#8217;m about to lose my f***ing job, and you guys are f***ing out here protesting?&#8221;</p>
<p>A woman wearing medical scrubs was shown leaving her vehicle and joining in the yelling. &#8220;Arrest them!&#8221; the nurse shouted. &#8220;We have doctors and nurses that have to save lives here.&#8221;</p>
<p>Landrum told reporters he works three jobs. When an activist put a megaphone in his face, Landrum fought back.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m like get this bullhorn out of my face,&#8221; he said. &#8220;At that point I was confused, frustrated, and completely angry.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m nobody special,&#8221; Landrum said. &#8220;Just doing what I thought was right.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tyree Landrum&#8217;s expletive-laden protest against demonstrators trying to deprive black men like him of a living is eloquent testimony to the desperation that normal Americans feel in the face of the crazy race-hatred and chaos that the Left has unleashed in this country.</p>
<p>If righteous explosions like Landrum&#8217;s start breaking out more regularly on the fruited plain, the Left won&#8217;t have a chance.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If some Islamic texts are banned for inciting terrorism, what about the Koran?]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="color: #202021;"><em><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Koran-book.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-246203" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Koran-book.jpg" alt="Koran-book" width="308" height="216" /></a>Originally published by </em><em><a style="color: #cf0000;" href="http://www.vieinter.com/otherregions/the-quran-and-eternal-war/">VIE.</a></em></p>
<p style="color: #202021;">News recently emerged that Russia was banning key Islamic scriptures—including Sahih Bukhari—on the charge that they promote “exclusivity [supremacism] of one of the world’s religions,” namely Islam; or, in the words of a senior assistant to the prosecutor of Tatarstan Ruslan Galliev, “a militant Islam” which “arouses ethnic, religious enmity.”</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">If Sahih Bukhari, a nine-volume hadith collection compiled in the 9th century and seen by Sunni Muslims as second in importance only to the Koran itself is being banned for inciting hostility, where does that leave the Koran?</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">After all, if <a style="color: #cf0000;" href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/is-russia-banning-islam/">Sahih Bukhari contains pro-terrorism</a> statements attributed to the prophet of Islam and calls to kill Muslims who leave Islam, the Koran, Islam’s number one holy book itself is full of intolerance and calls for violence against non-believers. A tiny sampling of proclamations from Allah follows:</p>
<ul style="color: #202021;">
<li>“I will cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, so strike [them] upon the necks [behead them] and strike from them every fingertip’” (Koran 8:12).</li>
<li>“Fight those among the People of the Book [Christians and Jews] who do not believe in Allah nor the Last Day, who do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and who do not embrace the religion of truth [Islam], until they pay the jizya with willing submissiveness and feel themselves utterly subdued” (Koran 9:29).</li>
<li>“Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever you find them—seize them, besiege them, and make ready to ambush them!” (Koran 9:5).</li>
<li>“Fighting has been enjoined upon you [Muslims] while it is hateful to you” (2:216).</li>
</ul>
<p style="color: #202021;">That Islam’s core texts incite violence and intolerance has many ramifications, for those willing to go down this path of logic.</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">For example, as I <a style="color: #cf0000;" href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/how-religious-defamation-laws-would-ban-islam/">argued more fully here</a>, although Muslims around the world, especially in the guise of the 57-member state Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), continue to push for the enforcement of “religious defamation” laws in the international arena, one great irony is lost, especially on Muslims: if such laws would ban movies and cartoons that defame Islam, they would also, by logical extension, need to ban the religion of Islam itself—the only religion whose core texts actively defame other religions.</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">Consider what the word “defamation” means: “to blacken another’s reputation” and “false or unjustified injury of the good reputation of another, as by slander or libel,” are typical dictionary definitions.</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">What, then, do we do with Islam’s core religious texts—not just Sahih Bukhari but the Koran itself, which slanders, denigrates and blackens the reputation of other religions?</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">Consider Christianity alone: Koran 5:73 declares that “Infidels are they who say God [or “Allah”] is one of three,” a reference to the Christian Trinity; Koran 5:72 says “Infidels are they who say God is the Christ, [Jesus] son of Mary”; and Koran 9:30 complains that “the Christians say the Christ is the son of God … may Allah’s curse be upon them!”</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">Surely such verses defame the Christian religion and its central tenets—not to mention create hostility towards its practitioners.</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">In short, the argument that some Islamic books should be banned on grounds that they incite segregation and violence is applicable to the Koran itself, which unequivocally defames and creates hostility for unbelievers, that is, non-Muslims.</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">That said, in the “real world” (as it currently stands), the very idea of banning the Koran—believed by over a billion people to be the unalterable word of God—must seem inconceivable.</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">For starters, whenever Muslims are pressed about the violent verses in the Koran, they often take refuge in the argument that other scriptures of other religions are also replete with calls to violence and intolerance—so why single out the Koran?</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">To prove this, Muslim apologists almost always point to the Hebrew Scriptures, more widely known as the “Old Testament.”  And in fact, the Old Testament is replete with violence and intolerance—all prompted by the Judeo-Christian God.</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">The difference between the violent passages in the Koran and those in the Old Testament (as more <a style="color: #cf0000;" href="http://www.meforum.org/2159/are-judaism-and-christianity-as-violent-as-islam">comprehensively explained here</a>) is this: the Old Testament is clearly describing historic episodes whereas the Koran, while also developed within a historical context, uses generic, open-ended language that transcends time and space, inciting believers to attack and slay nonbelievers today no less than yesterday.</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">Thus in the Old Testament God commands the Hebrews to fight and kill “Hittites,” “Amorites,” “Canaanites,” “Perizzites,” “Hivites,” and “Jebusites”—all specific peoples rooted to a specific time and place; all specific peoples that have not existed for millennia.  At no time did God give an open-ended command for the Hebrews, and by extension their Jewish descendants, to fight and kill all “unbelievers.”</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">To be sure, Muslims argue that the verses of the Koran also deal with temporal, historical opponents, including the polytheists of Mecca, and to a lesser extent, the Byzantine and Sassanian empires.</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">The problem, however, is that rarely if ever does the Koran specify who its antagonists are the way the Old Testament does.  Instead, Muslims were (and are) commanded to fight the “People of the Book,” which Islamic exegesis interprets as people with scriptures, namely, Christians and Jews—“<em>until</em> they pay the jizya with willing submissiveness and feel themselves utterly subdued” (9:29) and to “slay the idolaters <em>wherever</em> you find them” (9:5).</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">The two Arabic conjunctions “until” (<em>hata</em>) and “wherever” (<em>haythu</em>) demonstrate the perpetual and ubiquitous nature of these commandments: There are still “People of the Book” who have yet to “feel themselves utterly subdued” (especially all throughout the Americas, Europe, and Israel) and “idolaters” to be slain “wherever” one looks (especially Asia and sub-Saharan Africa).</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">In fact, the salient feature of almost all of the violent commandments in Islamic scriptures is their open-ended and generic nature: “Fight <em>them</em> until there is no more chaos and [all] religion belongs to Allah” (Koran 8:39).</p>
<p style="color: #202021;">This fact will ensure that as long as the Koran proliferates and is read as God’s literal word, its readers will continue to exist in a dichotomized world, themselves versus the rest.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The left-wing lies that precipitated a made-to-order riot.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Ferguson-Nationwide-Protests-2.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-246160" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Ferguson-Nationwide-Protests-2-444x350.jpg" alt="Ferguson-Nationwide-Protests-2" width="347" height="273" /></a>The riot in Ferguson reminds me, I hate criminals, but I hate liberals more. They planned this riot. They stoked the fire, lied about the evidence and produced a made-to-order riot.</p>
<p>Every other riot I&#8217;ve ever heard of was touched off by some spontaneous event that exploded into mob violence long before any media trucks arrived. This time, the networks gave us a countdown to the riot, as if it were a Super Bowl kickoff.</p>
<p>From the beginning, Officer Darren Wilson&#8217;s shooting of Michael Brown wasn&#8217;t reported like news. It was reported like a cause.</p>
<p>The media are in a huff about the prosecutor being &#8220;biased&#8221; because his father was a cop, who was shot and killed by an African-American. What an assh@le!</p>
<p>Evidently, the sum-total of what every idiot on TV knows about the law is Judge Sol Wachtler&#8217;s 20-year-old joke that a prosecutor could &#8220;indict a ham sandwich.&#8221; We&#8217;re supposed to be outraged that this prosecutor didn&#8217;t indict the ham sandwich of Darren Wilson.</p>
<p>Liberals seem not to understand that they don&#8217;t have a divine right to ruin someone&#8217;s life and bankrupt him with a criminal trial, just so they&#8217;re satisfied.</p>
<p>The reason most grand jury investigations result in an indictment is that most grand juries aren&#8217;t convened solely to patronize racial mobs. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon was basically demanding an indictment of Wilson before Big Mike&#8217;s body was cold. It was only because of racial politics that this shooting wasn&#8217;t dismissed without a grand jury, at all.</p>
<p>Obama says anger is an &#8220;understandable reaction&#8221; to the grand jury&#8217;s finding. Why? And why &#8212; as almost everyone is saying &#8212; are we supposed to praise the &#8220;peaceful protests&#8221;?</p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing to protest! A cop shot a thug who was trying to kill him. The grand jury documents make perfectly clear that Big Mike was entirely responsible for his own death. Can&#8217;t the peaceful protesters read?</p>
<p>The night of the riot, Obama said the law &#8220;often feels as if it is being applied in discriminatory fashion.&#8221; Maybe, but not in this case &#8212; except toward Officer Wilson.</p>
<p>I know liberals were hoping they had finally found the great white whale of racism, but they&#8217;re just going to have to keep plugging away. They might want to come up with a more productive way to spend their time, inasmuch as they&#8217;re about 0:100 on white racism sightings.</p>
<p>Anyone following this case has seen the video of Big Mike robbing a store and roughing up an innocent Pakistani clerk about 10 minutes before being shot by Officer Wilson. They&#8217;ve seen him flashing Bloods gang signs in photos.</p>
<p>They know Brown&#8217;s mother was recently arrested for clubbing grandma with a pipe over T-shirt proceeds. They&#8217;ve seen the video of Brown&#8217;s ex-con stepfather shouting at a crowd of protesters after the grand jury&#8217;s decision: &#8220;Burn this bitch down!&#8221;</p>
<p>Liberals will say none of that is relevant in court, but apparently they don&#8217;t think actual evidence is relevant either. It&#8217;s certainly relevant in the court of public opinion that the alleged victims are a cartoonishly lower-class, periodically criminal black family.</p>
<p>TV hosts narrated the riot by saying it showed &#8220;the community&#8221; feels it&#8217;s not being listened to. Only liberals look at blacks looting and say, See what white Americans made them do?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s their proof of injustice &#8212; look at how blacks are reacting! (While I don&#8217;t approve of the looting part, I do approve of the whole throwing-bottles-at-CNN part.)</p>
<p>The looters aren&#8217;t the community!</p>
<p>The community doesn&#8217;t want black thugs robbing stores and sauntering down the middle of its streets. The community doesn&#8217;t want to be assaulted by Big Mike. The community didn&#8217;t want its stores burned down.</p>
<p>That community testified in support of Officer Darren Wilson. About a half-dozen black witnesses supported Officer Wilson&#8217;s version of what happened. One was a black woman, who saw the shooting from the Canfield Green apartments. Crying on the stand, she said, &#8220;I have a child and that could have been my son.&#8221;</p>
<p>And yet, she confirmed all crucial parts of Wilson&#8217;s account. She said &#8220;the child&#8221; (292-pound Big Mike) never had his hands up and the cop only fired when &#8220;the baby&#8221; was coming at him. &#8220;Why won&#8217;t that boy stop?&#8221; she asked her husband.</p>
<p>I always want to know more about the heroic black witnesses. They are put in a position no white person will ever be in and do the right thing by telling the truth &#8212; then go into hiding from &#8220;the community&#8221; being championed by goo-goo liberals.</p>
<p>White people don&#8217;t feel any obligation to defend some thug just because he&#8217;s white. Only blacks are expected to lie on behalf of criminals of their own race.</p>
<p>But real heroism doesn&#8217;t interest liberals. They only ooh-and-ahh over blacks with rap sheets. The only meaningful white racism anymore is the liberal infantilization of black people.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The lynch mob politics embraced by the Obama administration hit the streets of America.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="color: #232323;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ap_ferguson_4_kb_141125_2_4x3_992.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-246094 " src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ap_ferguson_4_kb_141125_2_4x3_992-450x337.jpg" alt="ap_ferguson_4_kb_141125_2_4x3_992" width="362" height="271" /></a>And so the whirlwind, cultivated by Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, the mainstream media and the army of thugs they enabled, is now being reaped. As the result of a St. Louis County grand jury <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/11/24/ferguson-grand-jury-deliberations/19474907/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">refusing</span></a> to indict officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of Michael Brown, Ferguson, MO has become Ground Zero, in what irresponsible Missouri State Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadali <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2014/11/24/State-Senator-This-Is-St-Louis-Race-War"><span style="color: #1255cc;">referred</span></a> to on MSNBC as “St. Louis’s race war.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">One of the race war’s architects <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2848308/Obama-begs-calm-rioters-set-fires-attack-police-cars-Ferguson-grand-jury-refuses-indict-police-officer-Michael-Brown-case.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">pleaded for calm</span></a> shortly after the decision was announced. Yet even as Obama spoke about that &#8220;need for calm” and that there was “no excuse for violence,” he insisted, “We have to try to understand&#8221; the anger of those who demanded nothing less than a murder charge absent an ounce of evidence as an &#8220;understandable reaction&#8221; from people who believe &#8220;the law is being applied in a discriminatory fashion.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Where did those people get that belief? Leave it to Obama to omit that critical information &#8212; the same President Obama who <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/17/us/groups-in-ferguson-prepare-for-grand-jury-decision.html?partner=rss&amp;emc=rss&amp;smid=tw-nytimes&amp;_r=1"><span style="color: #1255cc;">met</span></a> with protest leaders and Sharpton on Nov. 5 at the White House. It was at that unscheduled meeting the president was ostensibly &#8220;concerned about Ferguson staying on course in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating,&#8221; according to Sharpton. &#8220;He said he hopes that we’re doing all we can to keep peace.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">One is left to marvel at one of two realities. Either we have a president so utterly naive he believes a <a href="http://freebeacon.com/politics/sharpton-cant-admit-tawana-brawley-hoax/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">hoax-perpetrating</span></a>, <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/rev-al-caught-protest-tape-called-mart-owner-white-interloper-article-1.693222"><span style="color: #1255cc;">riot-inciting</span></a> Al Sharpton, who <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/al-sharpton-high-alert-ferguson-decision/story?id=27025757"><span style="color: #1255cc;">denigrated</span></a> the grand jury process, <i>pre</i>-organized <a href="http://www.westernjournalism.com/heres-agitator-al-sharpton-just-revealed-will-spread-protests-far-beyond-ferguson/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">protest rallies</span></a> in 25 American cities, and <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/03/25/al-sharpton-s-conflicting-roles-in-the-trayvon-martin-case.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">uses</span></a> his MSNBC platform to fire up racial unrest, is a man of peace. Or the president, who once <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2010/10/25/obama-tells-latinos-to-punish-our-enemies-the-gop/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">urged</span></a> his Latino followers to “punish our enemies,” remains as wedded to the same racial &#8220;us against them&#8221; mentality as America’s foremost racial arsonist. Is it really possible to believe the former?</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Despite Obama&#8217;s superficial condemnations of violence, at least 25 businesses were set ablaze, many of which are total losses—and most of which were <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/11/25/Most-Businesses-Destroyed-in-Ferguson-Minority-Owned"><span style="color: #1255cc;">minority owned</span></a>.  Ten cars were burned at a dealership, and a &#8220;lot of gunfire,” as Ferguson Asst. Fire Chief Steve Fair put it, made maintaining control of the streets highly problematic, if not impossible. Reporters were <a href="http://deadline.com/2014/11/ferguson-grand-jury-decision-verdict-networks-cut-primetime-1201292322/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">assaulted</span></a>, the store Michael Brown robbed prior to his confrontation with Wilson was <a href="http://deadline.com/2014/11/ferguson-grand-jury-decision-verdict-networks-cut-primetime-1201292322/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">looted</span></a>, and at least 61 people have been <a href="http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/in-ferguson-police-cars-businesses-on-fire-much-worse-than/article_47fc89b3-b0d2-5c41-a1fa-f4636673aac0.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">arrested</span></a>. “What I&#8217;ve seen tonight is probably much worse than the worst night we ever had in August, and that&#8217;s truly unfortunate,” said St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar Monday at a 1:30 a.m press conference. Belmar further noted that there was “nothing left” along West Florissant between Solway Avenue and Chambers Road, that he heard at least 150 gun shots, and that he was surprised he and Missouri Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson, who “got lit up,” as they drove through the area, weren’t hit by that gunfire.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">“We talked about peaceful protest, and that did not happen tonight,” Johnson said. &#8220;We definitely have done something here that&#8217;s going to impact our community for a long time&#8230;that&#8217;s not how we create change.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Sharpton continued to stir the pot, criticizing <span style="color: #1255cc;"><a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/prosecutor-democrat_819853.html">Democratic</a></span> Prosecutor Bob McCulloch’s handling of the case, and <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2014/11/25/sharpton-grand-jury-announcement-an-absolute-blow/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">demanding</span></a> to know who voted for or against indicting Wilson, even though the law prohibits that information from being released. Sharpton’s motives are transparent. The grand jury was <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/11/24/366370100/grand-jury-reaches-decision-in-michael-brown-case"><span style="color: #1255cc;">comprised</span></a> of nine white and three black jurors, seven of whom were men, and five of whom were women. Agreement by nine of 12 jurors was necessary to file criminal charges, and there is no doubt Sharpton was attempting to exacerbate the racial divide with the implication that race was the over-riding, if not sole, factor in the decision.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">The grand jury <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/grand-jury-reaches-decision-in-case-of-ferguson-officer/2014/11/24/de48e7e4-71d7-11e4-893f-86bd390a3340_story.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">met</span></a> 25 times over the course of three months and heard testimony from 60 witnesses. They contemplated charges ranging from first-degree murder to involuntary manslaughter, and the bar for indictment was &#8220;probable cause,&#8221; not the far more onerous standard of determining &#8220;beyond a reasonable doubt” whether a crime had been committed. A plethora of evidence from the proceedings was released, demonstrating how the jury came to the conclusions it did. It included testimony from Wilson himself, physical evidence, and other eyewitness testimony, including some from black Americans who corroborated Wilson’s version of events. ”They determined that no probable cause exists to file any charge against Officer Wilson, and returned a ‘No True Bill’ on each of the five indictments,” <a href="http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2014/11/24/ferguson-police-officer-darren-wilson-not-indicted/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">explained</span></a> McCulloch.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">None of it mattered to the mob—or seemingly the media either. McCulloch faced a hostile press during his post-announcement interview, one that has <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/24/bob-mcculloch-ferguson_n_6215986.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">characterized</span></a> that interview as “bizarre,” no doubt in response to his contention the media&#8217;s &#8220;insatiable appetite for something, for anything to talk about, following closely behind with the non-stop rumors on social media,” contributed to the firestorm surrounding this case.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">That would be the same media that initially lionized Brown’s friend, Dorian Johnson, whose thoroughly debunked eyewitness testimony about Brown being <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/michael-brown-and-dorian-johnson-the-friend-who-witnessed-his-shooting/2014/08/31/bb9b47ba-2ee2-11e4-9b98-848790384093_story.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">shot in the back</span></a> while holding his hands up in surrender, epitomized the sensationalism that ignited the national firestorm. Johnson’s lie propelled much of the violence and unrest that followed, initiating the “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” meme that remains prevalent to this day. It was the same media that <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2014/08/15/Robbery-Tape-Humiliates-Media-Gentle-Giant-Narrative"><span style="color: #1255cc;">perpetrated</span></a> the “gentle giant” meme to <a href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/18943-ferguson-s-michael-brown-the-tall-tale-of-the-gentle-giant"><span style="color: #0433ff;">describe</span></a> the 6’4’’ nearly 300-pound Brown, only to see it undone by his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2z5-H8NSGA"><span style="color: #1255cc;">participation</span></a> in a strong-arm robbery of a much smaller store owner just prior to his confrontation with Wilson. It was the media who <a href="http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/doj_denounces_irresponsible_leaks_in_ferguson_police_shooting_case"><span style="color: #1255cc;">leaked</span></a> information during the grand jury proceedings, drawing a rebuke from an “exasperated” Holder, despite the reality that <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/shakeup-ferguson-police-force-expected"><span style="color: #1255cc;">MSNBC</span></a>, The <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/18/us/ferguson-case-officer-is-said-to-cite-struggle.html?_r=2"><span style="color: #1255cc;"><i>New York Times</i></span></a> and the <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2014/10/29/eric-holder-to-ferguson-leakers-shut-up-video/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">Daily Caller</span></a> all cited the administration and the Justice Department itself as sources of those leaks. That would be the same Eric Holder who ginned up mistrust of the police when he spoke to 50 community leaders, not just as Attorney General of the United States, but “as a black man” who remembers how “angry&#8221; he was when police stopped him for speeding on the New Jersey Turnpike.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">That would also be the same Eric Holder, who like his efforts in the Trayvon Martin case, initiated <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2848622/Federal-investigation-Ferguson-cops-ongoing-says-Attorney-General-Holder.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">two separate</span></a> DOJ investigations, one of potential civil rights violations allegedly committed by Wilson, and the other regarding practices of the Ferguson police force. &#8220;While the grand jury proceeding in St. Louis County has concluded, the Justice Department’s investigation into the shooting of Michael Brown remains ongoing,” he said. &#8220;In addition, the Department continues to investigate allegations of unconstitutional policing patterns or practices by the Ferguson Police Department.&#8221;</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">As for social media, the Twitterverse is currently <a href="http://twitchy.com/2014/11/25/twitter-lynch-mob-calls-for-murder-of-officer-darren-wilson/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">inundated</span></a> with calls for the murder of Officer Wilson.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Thus it is unsurprising the protests have spread beyond Ferguson. In Oakland, CA, hundreds of protesters bearing signs that read &#8220;The People Say Guilty!&#8221; and &#8220;Missouri, Palestine, Justice Now!” (an illuminating linkage to say the least) <a href="http://abc7news.com/news/group-marches-on-i-580-to-protest-ferguson-decision/409119/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">blocked</span></a> a major highway and other streets, starting fires, breaking the window of a bank, and spray painting a police cruiser with graffiti. In New York City, three bridges were <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/thousands-rally-ferguson-decision-article-1.2022628"><span style="color: #1255cc;">blocked</span></a>, there were marchers in Times Square and the Police Commissioner had fake blood thrown at him. A total of 90 cities across the nation were <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2848203/Protesters-gather-90-cities-U-S-grand-jury-decides-Officer-Darren-Wilson-won-t-charged-death-Michael-Brown.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">besieged</span></a> by protesters who were seemingly united by a trio of themes: Michael Brown was innocent, Darren Wilson was guilty, and police departments deliberately and disproportionately target black America.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">And once again, a mainstream media still interested in fanning the racialist flames is leading the way. The same CNN that <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2014/08/19/damned-if-they-do-tapper-rips-ferguson-police"><span style="color: #1255cc;">ripped</span></a> the heavy police presence in Ferguson last August is the CNN whose morning co-anchor Michaela Pereira <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2014/11/25/ferguson-riot-media-live-blog"><span style="color: #1255cc;">spoke</span></a> about the community’s &#8220;frustration the police didn&#8217;t do more to protect those businesses.” Vox columnist Ezra Klein, who apparently considers himself more knowledgable than the grand jury, penned a column whose title says it all: “Officer Darren Wilson’s story is unbelievable. Literally.” Why? &#8220;None of this fits with what we know of Michael Brown,” Klein <a href="http://www.vox.com/2014/11/25/7281165/darren-wilsons-story-side"><span style="color: #1255cc;">insists</span></a>, even as he admits the encounter with Wilson happened shortly after the aforementioned robbery. <a href="http://salon.com/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">Salon.com</span></a> pushed the envelope to the max, <a href="http://weaselzippers.us/206293-lib-rag-salon-calls-america-a-white-supremacist-state-over-ferguson-decision/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">declaring</span></a> the jury’s decision “reaffirmed what we already knew: America is a white supremacist state.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Even Brown’s immediate family, who initially <a href="http://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/ferguson-verdict-grand-jury-decides-not-to-charge-darren-wilson-over-killing-michael-brown/story-fnh81jut-1227134388237"><span style="color: #1255cc;">expressed</span></a> “profound disappointment with the decision, but asked that the protests “be kept peaceful,” had their wishes <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/ferguson/burn-this-bitch-down-879056"><span style="color: #1255cc;">undermined</span></a> by stepfather Louis Head. Shortly after the decision was reached, he urged the crowd 10 times to “burn this bitch down.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Those four words aptly describe the agenda of those with a vested interest in keeping Americans divided, angry and completely convinced the nation is a cesspool of racism where law enforcement must be considered the “enemy.” A nation where there are no longer irrefutable facts backed by witnesses and evidence, but a nation where reason and truth can only be determined after the filter of race is applied. One where the narrative must be served, even when that narrative assumes the characteristics of a lynch mob calling for the death of a police officer.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">It is a narrative that dismisses the reality of a disproportionate amount of <a href="http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf"><span style="color: #1255cc;">homicides</span></a> and <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/21/family-secret-what-the-left-wont-tell-you-about-bl/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">other crimes</span></a> committed by black Americans (overwhelmingly against other black Americans) relative to their population, even as it has <a href="http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2006-01-17/news/0601170177_1_black-men-countdown-kimberly-jones"><span style="color: #1255cc;">long glorified</span></a> the thug culture that engenders most of it. It is the narrative that <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/new-black-panthers.jpg"><span style="color: #1255cc;">demands</span></a> police forces who “reflect the racial demography of the community,” even as many black Americans have been &#8220;taught from the time that you could speak, from the time that you could understand speech, that police are to be feared and that they’re part of an occupying force that is there to circumvent the democratic processes and to strip you of your rights,” <a href="http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2014/09/14/achieving-diversity-among-police-ranks-not-easy/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">according</span></a> to Phillip Atiba Goff, co-founder and president of the Center for Policing Equity at the University of California, Los Angeles.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Saddest of all, it is the narrative supported by a president whose track record extends from his past with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his racist rantings and <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/DemocraticDebate/story?id=4443788"><span style="color: #1255cc;">assertions</span></a> the Cambridge police “acted stupidly” when they arrested Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., to his efforts to exacerbate racial discord <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/19/obama-goes-full-race-baiter/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">during and after</span></a> the Trayvon Martin saga. He is joined by an Attorney General who believes Americans are a “nation of cowards” when it comes to discussing race, one who insists voter ID is <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/tv/eric-holder-voter-id-used-to-depress-the-vote-of-people-who-dont-support-gop/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">tantamount</span></a> to “black disenfranchisement,” and continues to run the most racially polarized DOJ in recent history.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Even worse, both men have <a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/obama-headline-al-sharptons-nan-conference"><span style="color: #1255cc;">unduly elevated</span></a> the status of race huckster Al Sharpton, showing up at National Action Network (NAN) galas to sing his praises. That odious reality is tantamount to a Republican president showing up at a meeting of the <a href="http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/52672"><span style="color: #1255cc;">European-American Unity and Rights Organization</span></a> and singing the praises of its white supremacist founder, David Duke. The fact that such as comparison is never made obscures the depths of the racial polarization embraced by the nations’s top two law enforcement officials. It is both an ongoing tragedy and a national disgrace that will only be assuaged when Sharpton and every other person who profits from the misery of millions is ejected from the national stage.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Until then, America will seethe. Well-meaning Americans on both sides of the color line will tread warily, remaining ultimately distrustful of each other, lest they be branded sellouts to “the cause.&#8221; The mob and its media enablers will continue to foment violence, looting, death and destruction, based largely on the notion that such mayhem is a “reasonable” price to be extracted from an irredeemably racist nation in need of “fundamental transformation.” One family will mourn for a son who could not resist the siren song of thug culture, while another family will continue to live in terror perhaps forever, or at least until the mob finds another bogeyman at whom it can channel its orchestrated blood-lust. The thin blue line that separates America from the anarchists will be stretched to its limits.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">And the promise of a post-racial society that once propelled this president into the White House now more closely resembles the division and racialist bean-counting that epitomizes the community organizer mindset. In short, hope and change is going up in flames in Ferguson, MO.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Over 15 years of bigotry and violence.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/icbr.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-245687" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/icbr.png" alt="icbr" width="300" height="300" /></a>For the Islamic Center of Boca Raton (ICBR) some things have changed and some have stayed the same. The center went from a storefront, where it began, to a nearly 30,000 square foot mosque. That was a huge change. It has also lost a number of imams along the way, a couple of whom have been charged with crimes. Many of the faces still remain, though, and so does the hate that was exhibited when the center was established over 15 years ago.</p>
<p>ICBR started as a result of an effort by the Muslim Student Organization (MSO) at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and FAU Professor Bassem Alhalabi, who helped create the MSO. The founding directors of the center included three persons: Alhalabi, travel agency owner Khalid Qureshi, and then-FAU student Syed Ahmad, who was also a website designer for Hamas in Gaza.</p>
<p>Alhalabi, prior to getting his job at FAU, was an assistant to Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Sami al-Arian, while they were together at the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa.</p>
<p>Today, two out of the three, Alhalabi and Qureshi, are still directors at the mosque.</p>
<p>From October 1999 through September 2001 – roughly three years – the website of ICBR had an essay prominently posted on it, entitled ‘Why can’t the Jews and Muslims live together in peace?’</p>
<p>The essay stated, “<a href="http://www.americansagainsthate.org/ICBR_and_AMANA_Articles_About_Jews.htm">There cannot be harmony between Jews</a> &#8211; who are usurpers and aggressors, who have oppressed and persecuted others… Jews are people of treachery and betrayal; it is not possible to trust them at all… As the Muslims and Jews are enemies residing in opposing religious and doctrinal camps, it is not possible for them to be brought together unless one is made to submit to the other by force… [Muhammad] said, ‘You will fight the Jews and will prevail over them, so that a rock will say, O Muslim! There is Jew behind me, kill him!’”</p>
<p>The imam of the center at the time, Ibrahim Dremali, claimed that the essay appearing on the center&#8217;s website was the result of hackers, even though much of the other material that had been on the site was derived from the <a href="http://islamqa.info/en/1098">same place that the essay came from</a>, the violently anti-Semitic IslamQA.com.</p>
<p>Dremali’s rendition of the facts were contradicted by then-Spokesman for ICBR, Dan McBride, a Muslim convert who said that the only reason why they took the essay off the site was because they received numerous complaints about it.</p>
<p>Today, there is a new imam leading the mosque, Fathi Kalfi, but the rhetoric coming from him and another ICBR official shows that absolutely nothing regarding the center’s bigotry towards others has changed.</p>
<p>On the ICBR website, there is currently a section which allows one to listen to speeches given by the Islamic center’s leaders to the center’s congregants. The first page is for Fathi Kalfi, ICBR’s present imam. In his speech titled ‘Fitns after Prophet (pbuh) and Abu Baker (ra),’ he incorporates an anti-Semitc and anti-Christian message, in order to make a point about what is taking place in Syria.</p>
<p>Kalfi says, “Damascus – used to be the capitol of every Muslim from Yemen to Andalusia [Spain] to Heng [China]. All of them, the capitol was Damascus, so it has a special place in the hearts of believers. Today, it’s controlled by Batiniyah Nusairiyah [sect of Shiah Islam]… Batiniyah have the same steps; they have the same direction – the same goal. You know what’s their goal? Destroy Islam… Bathiniyah, Ibn Taymiyyah [an Islamic scholar] said they are worse than Jews and Christians. So their goal is to destroy Islam – kill the Muslims and occupy their land… But Allah al-Jenna will not let them, Inshallah, because they will be defeated soon.”</p>
<p>In a second speech, Kalfi rails against the West and complains about Muslims who adopt or admire anything coming from the West, even if it is something positive. In his ‘Fitns &amp; Situation of Muslim Uma,’ he states, “Brothers and sisters, Muslims live in a time of fitn, temptations, religious innovations, time of myths and deviation. What made it worse, brothers and sisters, is the advancement of the West, especially in the worldly matter, which led some Muslims to get influenced by that and they started to glorify or embrace anything that comes from the West, either it’s good or bad.”</p>
<p>Kalfi later speaks about an end of time conspiracy, where Muslims will war against the West. If the imam were saying these things from overseas as a member of Isis or al-Qaeda, it would make more sense. But Kalfi is spewing his hate from Boca Raton, Florida, a symbol in America of Western affluence and containing a sizeable Jewish population.</p>
<p>Another page on ICBR contains the speeches of Mounir Bourkiza, the General Manager at Garden of the Sahaba Academy, ICBR’s children’s school. In his speech to the congregants, titled ‘Major Shirk,’ he states that Christian belief is “nonsense.”</p>
<p>Bourkiza says in the speech, “Or as the Christians believe… They apply the same characteristics of the creation of a human to Allah al-Jenna. They say Allah is the father and he has a son and all this kind of nonsense.”</p>
<p>Most probably due to past infractions, which included a link from the ICBR website to a site raising funds and recruiting fighters for al-Qaeda and the Taliban, ICBR has taken the step of placing a disclaimer on its website’s ‘About Us’ page. What is both interesting and ironic is that the mosque put, at the end of the disclaimer, a statement regarding anti-Semitism. It reads, “It must be clear that ICBR condemns Anti-Semitism whether it originates from Muslim, or any other sources.”</p>
<p>Evidently, ICBR does not condemn anti-Semitism enough, because the mosque’s own imam actively spreads anti-Semitism, and the mosque is so proud of it that it moved to place the anti-Semitic content on its website for everyone to listen to. And not only has the imam targeted Jews, but both he and the GM of the ICBR children’s school have targeted Christians as well.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Kalfi has spoken out against the entire West, where he happens to reside, which only adds to the disturbing nature of his statements, as his words can incite listeners to commit hateful and violent acts on our own shores.</p>
<p>One former ICBR congregant who appeared to have been influenced by the extremism of ICBR is Dr. Rafiq Sabir. Today, Sabir is serving out a 25-year prison sentence for swearing allegiance to and providing material support to al-Qaeda.</p>
<p>No one can use the excuse now that the ICBR website has been hacked, because the hate statements presently found on it were made by those representing ICBR themselves, making the disclaimer seem more an exercise in deception than transparency.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why violence will be the outcome in the St. Louis suburb whether Wilson is indicted or not.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ferguson-mike-brown.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-245585" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ferguson-mike-brown-450x300.jpg" alt="ferguson-mike-brown" width="333" height="222" /></a>This week, America held its collective breath as it waited on the grand jury indictment verdict for Officer Darren Wilson. Wilson, you&#8217;ll recall, had the misfortune to run into 6&#8217;5&#8243;, 289-lb. Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man who had just finished strong-arm robbing a convenience store. Wilson pulled Brown over as he and his accomplice walked in the middle of the street; all available evidence shows that Brown then pushed himself through the driver&#8217;s side window, punched Wilson, went for his gun, was shot in the hand, ran, turned around, charged Wilson, and was shot to death.</p>
<p>But that doesn&#8217;t matter. And it has never mattered. Because facts do not matter to those attempting to rectify what they perceive as an unjust universe. For those utopian visionaries &#8211; and, yes, violent thugs who rob stores are minions of the utopian visionaries — individuals do not exist. Individuals are merely stand-ins for groups. Wilson was a white cop; therefore, he was the Racist White Establishment. Brown was a black teenager; therefore, he was the Innocent Black Victim. The parts have already been written; Wilson was merely unlucky enough to land the starring role.</p>
<p>And so we expect riots no matter what the outcome of the indictment. Should Wilson escape indictment due to complete lack of evidence, the utopians and their rioting henchmen will attribute that acquittal to the Racist White Establishment. Should he be indicted, the utopians and their rioting henchmen will cite Wilson as merely the latest example of the Racist White Establishment. No matter the antecedent, the consequence has been determined in advance: rage, riots, recriminations.</p>
<p>If all of this sounds familiar, that&#8217;s because it is.</p>
<p>Alongside the anti-Racist White Establishment protesters taking to the streets in Ferguson in recent weeks, anti-Israel and pro-ISIS protesters have appeared. All utopian visionaries fighting the status quo — self-perceived victims — love their Days of Rage. And these Ragers don&#8217;t require evidence to incite their emotions. Evidence regarding individuals is for the reasonable; false stories of victims and villains are the fodder for Ragers.</p>
<p>Whether we&#8217;re watching thousands of Muslims across the world protest and riot over cartoons of Mohammed, or whether we&#8217;re watching hundreds of people in Ferguson riot over a media-manufactured story about a racial killing, Days of Rage provide the outlet for delusional anger. Radical Muslims need an external enemy to justify their own brutality; protesters in Ferguson need an external enemy to justify their own failure to make good in the freest country in the history of humanity.</p>
<p>Every society has its Ragers. The West&#8217;s suicidal impulse to humor those Ragers, however, spells the end of the West. When facts become secondary to emotion, truth dies. And a society that doesn&#8217;t value truth cannot survive. Calling out the National Guard in Ferguson while lending a sympathetic ear to the Ragers does little good, long-term. It merely staves off the inevitable surrender of the reasonable to the Ragers.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ISIS-Burns-Down-Church.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-244875" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ISIS-Burns-Down-Church.jpg" alt="ISIS-Burns-Down-Church" width="321" height="272" /></a>The purge of ancient Christian communities throughout Iraq that started in June culminated in a show of great intolerance in July.</p>
<p>Among other things, a Christian church that had stood on the ground of Iraq for 1,800 years—a church that was erected less than 200 year after Christ—was reportedly torched by the Islamic State, according to numerous news agencies, including <a href="http://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2014/07/20/ISIS-burns-1-800-year-old-church-in-Mosul.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Al Arabiya</span></a>.</p>
<p>Islamic State jihadis also stormed and took over an ancient monastery in northern Iraq and <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/jihadists-seize-iraq-monastery-005850871.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">expelled its few monks</span></a>, telling them “You have no place here anymore, you have to leave immediately.”  The monks plead to be allowed to save some of the monastery’s ancient relics but the jihadis refused and ordered them to walk many miles along a deserted road with nothing but their clothes.  (St. Behnam monastery had stood since the fourth century and was one of Iraq’s best-known Christian landmarks.  It was built by an Assyrian king as a penance for executing his children Behnam and Sarah for converting to Christianity.)</p>
<p>The Islamic State issued a July 19 deadline for Mosul’s remaining <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/24/iraqi-christians-mosul-isis-convert-islam-or-be-executed"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Christians either to convert to Islam or face execution</span></a>.  Islamic State members also singled out Christian homes by placing the Arabic letter for “N”—based on the Arabic word <i>Nasara</i>, or “Nazarenes,” the Koran’s pejorative for Christians—on the sides of their homes.   The result, in the words of Patriarch Louis Sako, is that “For the first time in the history of Iraq, Mosul is now empty of Christians.”</p>
<p>In response to the Islamic State’s latest atrocities against Iraq’s Christian minorities, the Syriac Orthodox bishop of Mount Lebanon and Tripoli,<span style="color: #0433ff;"> George Saliba</span>, <a href="https://docs.zoho.com/writer/ropen.do?rid=fs79p4de3b9a0916c47bc898fe0713d6d0e07#bookmark=http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Lebanon-News/2014/Jul-30/265488-syriac-orthodox-bishop-muslims-enemies-of-christ.ashx"><span style="color: #0433ff;">denounced</span></a> not just the Islamic State but Muslims in general for their long “history of violence and oppression against Christians”:</p>
<blockquote><p>What is happening in<span style="color: #0433ff;"> Iraq</span> is a strange thing, but it is normal for Muslims, because they have never treated Christians well, and they have always held an offensive and defaming stand against Christians….  We used to live and coexist with Muslims, but then they revealed their canines [teeth]….  [They don’t] have the right to storm houses, steal and attack the honor of Christians.  Most Muslims do this, the Ottomans killed us and after that the ruling nation-states understood the circumstances but always gave advantage to the Muslims.  Islam has never changed&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>Islamic organizations responded by denouncing the Syriac bishop’s words as “hateful” and Islamophobic, demanding an apology.</p>
<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also made some telling remarks concerning the plight of Christians, <a href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/presbyterian-church-usa-criticizes-israel-ignores-christian-persecution/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">especially in those Mideast countries the U.S. is involved in</span></a>.  When asked if he was “troubled” by the Presbyterian Church USA’s decision to withdraw $21 million worth in investments from Israel on behalf of the Palestinian people, the prime minister said:</p>
<blockquote><p>You know I would suggest to these Presbyterian organizations to fly to the Middle East, come and see Israel for the embattled democracy that it is, and then take a bus tour, go to Libya, go to Syria, go to Iraq, and see the difference. And I would give them two pieces of advice, one is, make sure it’s an armor plated bus, and second, don’t say that you’re Christians.<i> </i></p></blockquote>
<p>The rest of July’s roundup of Muslim persecution of Christians around the world includes (but is not limited to) the following accounts, listed by theme and country alphabetical order, not necessarily according to severity.</p>
<p><b>Muslim Attacks on Churches and Carnage</b></p>
<p><b>Afghanistan</b>: according to BosNewsLife, the central Asian nation’s “tiny Christian community was left in shock Friday,  July 25, after <a href="http://www.bosnewslife.com/33389-news-alert-finish-christian-workers-killed-in-afghanistan"><span style="color: #0433ff;">two Finnish Christian aid workers were shot dead</span></a>.”  The attack “underscored the dangers faced by Christian aid workers.”  The two women were slain by motorcycle riding gunmen in the western city of Herat, “the latest in a series of attacks targeting Westerners, including Christian believers.  The Christians, who represented International Assistance Mission (IAM), had been working in Afghanistan since the 1990s…  They both spoke Dari well and knew and respected the culture of Afghanistan.”  Among those the aid workers were helping were people with mental disabilities and illiterate women.</p>
<p><b>Central African Republic</b>:  At least <a href="http://barnabasfund.org/US/News/Archives/Help-Christians-affected-by-CAR-violence-27-killed-in-church-attack.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">27 Christians were slaughtered</span></a> during a July 7 attack on the St. Joseph’s Cathedral compound in Bambari, where thousands of people, mostly Christian, were receiving sanctuary.  The attackers were fighters from the Islamic Seleka rebel movement and Muslim civilians. The armed attackers entered the grounds at around 3pm and began shooting indiscriminately. Women and children were among those killed; over 20 people were injured.  The Islamic attackers burnt down 20 <a href="http://barnabasfund.org/US/Our-work/Our-current-projects/BF-Project-Categories/Buildings.html?"><span style="color: #0433ff;">buildings</span></a> within the church compound, set fire to three cars, and stole two others as well as a number of motorbikes.  Weeks earlier, on May 28, another attack on a church compound in Bangui, the capital, left around 20 people dead.</p>
<p><b>Kenya</b>: On July 5, Muslims attacked the Covenant Church, three kilometers north of Hindi, just as Bible study was closing.  As the Bible study participants fled, two men opted to hide inside the church building—and were <a href="http://morningstarnews.org/2014/07/christians-killed-in-attacks-in-coastal-region-of-kenya/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">burned alive after the Islamic attackers set the building on fire</span></a>.  On the same night, a Catholic church building in the village of Gamba, in neighboring Tana River County, was also destroyed by attackers.   Two days earlier, 15-20 assailants armed with guns and knives attacked Gamba and the village of Hindi, killing at least 13 people, including a 12-year-old student and a 30-year-old man “who was found in a pool of blood with a Bible on his back,” reports Morning Star News. One survivor of the attacks said the invaders were heard “saying non-Muslims should get out, and if not they should convert to Islam.”  Another survivor said, “I was removed with my daughter from the house while the attackers tied my husband to the bedside before setting the house on fire.  The attackers, who spoke mainly in Somali, targeted non-Muslims, whom they tied with ropes before slitting their throats.” (Gamba is about 28 miles from Mpeketoni, another Christian town where gunmen killed at least 57 people in a <a href="http://morningstarnews.org/2014/06/christians-targeted-in-massacre-by-al-shabaab-in-kenya/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">June 15 attack</span></a>.)</p>
<p><b>Lebanon</b>: A shadowy group known as the Free Sunnis of Baalbek Brigade, which had only recently pledged its allegiance to the Islamic State, announced on its twitter account that a “specialized group of free jihadists were tasked with cleansing the Islamic state of Bekaa in particular and in Lebanon in general <a href="http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/137260-free-sunnis-of-baalbek-brigade-vows-to-silence-church-bells-in-bekaa"><span style="color: #0433ff;">from the churches</span></a>.  We will target crusaders in the state and in Lebanon to silence the ringing of the bells.”  (According to Islamic Sharia, churches under Islamic authority are <a href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/western-ignorance-of-the-conditions-of-omar/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">forbidden from ringing their bells</span></a>.)  The Brigade has claimed responsibility for several rocket and bomb attacks inside Lebanon, the last of which were the suicide blasts in Dahr al-Baydar and Raouche’s Duroy Hotel.</p>
<p><b>Nigeria</b>: A <a href="https://docs.zoho.com/writer/ropen.do?rid=fs79p4de3b9a0916c47bc898fe0713d6d0e07#bookmark=http://www.smh.com.au/world/five-killed-in-bomb-attack-on-nigerian-church-20140728-zxhss.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">bomb blast inside the Saint Charles Catholic Church</span></a> left five people dead and eight injured.  The attack came shortly after Sunday mass ended, when an improvised explosive device was thrown inside the city of Kano, which has a strong presence of Boko Haram, the local Islamic terrorist organization.  On the same Sunday and also in Kano, a woman suicide bomber blew herself up outside a university after police prevented her from carrying out an attack.  Five officers were injured.  According to a police spokesman, “A female suicide bomber was isolated (by police) as she was walking towards the gate of the university.”  She had hidden the bomb under her “long black hijab” and was singled out for behaving strangely, said the spokesman.  Police were about to ask a female colleague to frisk the woman when she detonated the bomb, killing herself and injuring the police officers.  Also in July,<b> </b>Nicholas Okoh, primate of the Church of Nigeria, said in an interview that, despite Boko Haram’s nonstop attacks on Christians and their churches, for long “the United States did not come out to say anything about Boko Haram.  They kept talking about economic problems, [saying] that Boko Haram is fighting because of economic problems. That is not true &#8230; <a href="http://www.brnow.org/News/July-2014/Boko-Haram-s-Islamic-motives-ignored"><span style="color: #0433ff;">The United States deliberately ignored the fundamental issues of religious ideology</span></a>.”</p>
<p><b>Sudan</b>:  In adherence to Islamic law, the east African nation formally announced a <a href="http://www.pravoslavie.ru/english/72207.htm"><span style="color: #0433ff;">ban on the construction of any new Christian churches</span></a> in the country.  This move came after several churches, some of which have been in existence for decades, were bulldozed to the ground by authorities, the most recent one, the Sudanese Christ Church at El Izba residential area in Khartoum North, on July 1. According to Pravoslavie, “The Sudanese Minister of Guidance and Religious Endowments Shalil Abdullah announced that the government will henceforth not issue permits for the building of churches in the country.  Minister Shalil Abdullah told the press on Saturday [July 12] that the existing churches are enough for the Christian population remaining in Sudan after the secession of South Sudan in 2011.”  Since 1989, Sudan has been governed by a Sharia enforcing Islamic regime. Reverend Kori El Ramli, the Secretary-General of Sudan Council of Churches, criticized this move as contradicting the nation’s Constitution, adding “Yes, we are a minority, but we have freedom of worship and belief just like the rest of the Sudanese as long as we are Sudanese nationals like them.”</p>
<p><b>Turkey</b>:  A band of <a href="http://www.catholic.org/news/international/europe/story.php?id=56220"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Muslims attacked the Saint Stephanos Church</span></a> in Istanbul during a baptismal service held on July 15. Among other things, the Muslim intruders pushed their way into the baptismal service, yelling obscenities, with one waving a knife and threatening to stab a parishioner.  The attack occurred during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which <a href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/from-the-arab-world/ramadan-islams-holy-month-of-christian-oppression/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">often sees a concomitant rise of intolerance</span></a> in Muslim majority areas.   Speaking about the attack, one parishioner said on condition of anonymity that “It’s not the first, and it won’t be the last.”  In fact, two months earlier, men in their late teens and 20s entered the church building at night, ripped out most of its audio equipment and destroyed what they couldn’t carry away. They also took some of the ceremonial candles, lit them and started setting items in the rear of the building on fire. They stacked all remaining candles into a pile, lit them and left.</p>
<p><b>Uganda</b>: A gang of Muslims brandishing machetes stormed a church during service, <a href="http://barnabasfund.org/US/News/Archives/Christian-teenager-killed-by-machete-in-attack-on-church-in-Uganda.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">hacking one 18-year-old woman to death</span></a> and leaving three others, including a one-year-old baby, injured.  A group of around 20 Christians had gathered at Chali Born Victory Church in Kyegegwa district for their regular Friday night prayer session when armed Muslims burst into the building around 2 am.  Pastor Jackson Turyamureba was preaching when he saw somebody peeping through a window.  According to the pastor, “I thought he was a drunkard and told him to either enter or go away. Shortly after that I heard doors being banged and men shouting ‘Allahu Akhbar’ (Allah is great) as they stormed the church brandishing pangas (machetes) and beating worshippers….  One of the attackers followed me and threw a panga which went over my head. I ran through a garden and the man who was pursuing me fell down and gave up the chase.”  The Muslim attackers then fled to a nearby mosque; police surrounded the mosque and one officer was killed when attackers opened fire.  Two suspects were arrested.   According to the pastor<i>, </i>the church has had problems with a group of Muslims in the area who had unsuccessfully tried to convert them to Islam. Church member Polly Tashobya added that the group said they wanted to transform Uganda into an Islamic nation and would kill anyone who refused to convert.</p>
<p><b>Muslim Attacks on Christian Freedom and ‘Dhimmitude’</b></p>
<p><b>Iran</b>: <a href="http://www.bosnewslife.com/33301-iran-detains-evangelical-christians-bible-confiscated"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Authorities detained a pastor and two other members of the Church of Iran</span></a>, one of the country’s largest house church movements.  Pastor Matthias Haghnejad, Mohammad Roghangir, and Suroush Saraie were arrested July 5 by security forces at the pastor’s home in the city of Bandar-Anzali.  According to BosNewsLife, “Their detention comes amid an ongoing government campaign to halt the spread of Christianity in the Islamic country. Especially converts from Islam, many of whom visit the Church of Iran, have been targeted.”  Security forces reportedly confiscated the pastor’s belongings, including his Bible, and several other books.  This would be the latest setback for Pastor Matthias, who was jailed for his faith on three other occasions between 2006 and 2011.  Separately, <a href="https://docs.zoho.com/writer/ropen.do?rid=fs79p4de3b9a0916c47bc898fe0713d6d0e07#bookmark=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2702774/Christian-sentenced-Iranian-judge-lips-burnt-cigarette-eating-Ramadan.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">a judge sentenced a Christian man to have his lips burnt with a cigarette</span></a> for eating during the day in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, when Muslims are required to abstain from food and drink during daylight.  The punishment was carried out in public in a square in the city of Kermanshah.  Five other Muslim men were also flogged in public with 70 lashes for not fasting during Ramadan.  A spokesperson from The National Council of Resistance of Iran, a political coalition which opposes the government, denounced the treatment as ‘savage’ and called on Western countries to respond:  “The silence of the world community, especially of western countries, vis-à-vis these medieval punishments under the excuse of having nuclear talks with Iran has intensified the brutal and systematic violation of human rights in Iran.”</p>
<p><b>Somalia</b>: Muslim converts to Christianity who fled Somalia and reside in Kenyan refugee camps remain in mortal danger.  One convert, known only as “Abubakr,” and his wife reportedly held each other under their bed in their refugee camp as suspected gunmen from the Islamic terrorist organization Al Shabaab pounded on their door. They ordered the man to come out and called him an “infidel” (in both the Arabic and Somali languages), saying, “<a href="http://morningstarnews.org/2014/07/stay-or-leave-somali-christians-in-kenyan-refugee-camps-face-danger/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">We need your head</span></a>.”  When the apostate refused, they opened fire through the spaces of the poles of the couple’s hut, striking their legs.  Then they heard the attackers say, “We have killed the infidels” as they shot into the air while leaving.  The Christian couple was found two days later lying in their own pool of blood.   According to Abubakr, far from providing security for the hiding apostates, Muslim guards at the refugee camp actually help Al Shabaab militants locate them.  Another Somali convert from Islam, Abdikadir, saw Muslim relatives and other Somalis burn down his home in one of the undisclosed Dadaab refugee camps in April. They took away his wife and four children in the course of destroying his home.  He fled the camp and is now living elsewhere.</p>
<p><b>United Kingdom</b>: According to the Telegraph, “<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/10977187/Christians-lie-and-wives-must-have-sex-or-go-to-hell-Trojan-Horse-pupils-told.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Children were taught that all Christians are liars</span></a> and attempts were made to introduce Sharia law in classrooms as part of an alleged ‘Trojan Horse’ takeover plot of Birmingham schools, an inquiry has found.”  Commissioned by Birmingham City Council, the inquiry found “evidence of religious extremism in 13 schools as school governors and teachers tried to promote and enforce radical Islamic values.”  Among other things, schools canceled Christmas, put up posters warning children that they would “go to hell” if they did not pray, and girls were taught that women who refused to have sex with their husbands would be “punished” by angels “from dusk to dawn.”  The report found that the extremism went unchecked because the council “disastrously” prioritized community cohesion over “doing what is right.”</p>
<p><b>About this Series</b></p>
<p>The persecution of Christians in the Islamic world has become endemic.  Accordingly, “Muslim Persecution of Christians” was developed to collate some—by no means all—of the instances of persecution that surface each month. It serves two purposes:</p>
<p>1) To document that which the mainstream media does not: the habitual, if not chronic, persecution of Christians.</p>
<p>2) To show that such persecution is not “random,” but systematic and interrelated—that it is rooted in a worldview inspired by Islamic Sharia.</p>
<p>Accordingly, whatever the anecdote of persecution, it typically fits under a specific theme, including hatred for churches and other Christian symbols; apostasy, blasphemy, and proselytism laws that criminalize and sometimes punish with death those who “offend” Islam; sexual abuse of Christian women; forced conversions to Islam;  theft and plunder in lieu of <i>jizya</i> (financial tribute expected from non-Muslims); overall expectations for Christians to behave like cowed <i>dhimmis</i>, or third-class, “tolerated” citizens; and simple violence and murder. Sometimes it is a combination thereof.</p>
<p>Because these accounts of persecution span different ethnicities, languages, and locales—from Morocco in the West, to Indonesia in the East—it should be clear that one thing alone binds them: Islam—whether the strict application of Islamic Sharia law, or the supremacist culture born of it.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The facts underlying the Jewish connection.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/tm.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-244607" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/tm.jpg" alt="tm" width="278" height="181" /></a>In Jerusalem, The Temple Mount is the historical location of the First and Second Temples, the holiest place in the world for Jews.  There has been ongoing disputes about the right of Jews to pray there – and it is absurd that anyone in the world can deny Jews the right of freedom of prayer in the <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/ronn-torossian/all-of-jerusalem-belongs-to-the-state-of-israel/">State of Israel</a>.</p>
<p>A week ago, American-born Rabbi Yehuda Glick, a leader of the movement encouraging Jews to pray at the Temple Mount, was shot by a Palestinian Arab assassin who objected to the idea of Jews praying on the Temple Mount.  The Palestinian Arabs continue to do all they can to deny Jews the right to live – and pray – in the Jewish State.  It is unacceptable – and Jews must have the right to pray at the Temple Mount.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11816#.VFjTdZt0yUk">Ze’ev Jabotinsky</a>, the Zionist prophet, once asked, “Is a situation moral in which one side can commit any crime or murder and the other is forbidden to react?”  There must be a price for <a href="http://observer.com/2014/09/the-muslim-brotherhoods-new-pr-agency-rejects-israel/">attacks upon Jews</a> in Israel at the holiest site in Judaism – and amongst that price must be increased rights of Jews to pray. As Ricki Hollander has said,</p>
<blockquote><p>“Jewish reverence for the Temple Mount<em> </em>long predates the building of the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque in the 7<sup>th</sup> century CE, and even predates the construction of the first Jewish Temple by King Solomon almost 2000 years earlier.”</p></blockquote>
<p>There are so many meaningful reasons and quotes about the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount:</p>
<p>*  “There is very telling Jewish teaching about the Temple Mount, and that is: whoever controls the Mount, controls the world.” Yisrael Medad</p>
<p>*  “[The Temple Mount] is the only place in the country where you feel you’re discriminated against because you’re Jewish.” Eli Duker</p>
<p>*  “I want equal rights for Jews on the Temple Mount. What Muslims do, I want to do too.” Arnon Segal</p>
<p>*  “There is only one meaning to giving up the Temple Mount: the end of the State of Israel.” Ronen Shoval</p>
<p>*  “Although other parts of the Temple Mount retaining wall remain standing, the Western Wall is especially dear, as it is the spot closest to the Holy of Holies, the central focus of the Temple.” Rabbi Shraga Simmons</p>
<p>*  “This compound was our Temple Mount. Here stood our Temple during ancient time, and it would be inconceivable for Jews not to be able freely to visit this holy place now that Jerusalem is under our rule.” Defense Minister Moshe Dayan</p>
<p>*  “Islamist exclusivity has debased the Temple Mount. It’s time to return this holy site to its original inclusivity and allow anyone who wants to pray there respectfully to do so. That is the meaning of Jewish sovereignty and human dignity.” Moshe Dann</p>
<p>*  “According to the Talmud, the world was created from the foundation stone of the Temple Mount. It’s believed to be the biblical Mount Moriah, the location where Abraham fulfilled God’s test to see if he would be willing to sacrifice his son Isaac.” Aaron Klein</p>
<p>*  “But you cannot be a Zionist if you are prepared to yield the place that provides us with the moral, historic and religious right to this land &#8211; the Temple Mount.” Ronen Shoval</p>
<p>*  “It is the supposed site of Mt. Moriah, where Abraham nearly sacrificed his son Isaac, where the prophet Muhammad is believed to have ascended into heaven, and was the location of the first and second temples, Judaism&#8217;s most holy structures.” Jason Reuter</p>
<p>*  “Every Jew that goes to the Temple Mount puts another stone in the building of the Temple, and is making another step to fulfill Jewish sovereignty on the Temple Mount.” Moshe Feiglin</p>
<p>*  “Three times a day, for thousands of years, Jewish prayers from around the world have been directed toward the Temple Mount. Kabbalistic tradition says that all prayers from around the world ascend to this spot, from where they then ascend to heaven.” Rabbi Shraga Simmons</p>
<p>*  “We were not trying to demonstrate that it’s exclusively ours, or that we want the Muslims off, only that it’s a significant, if not the most significant Jewish site, archaeologically, historically, and religiously. This is the heart of it all.” Elli Fischer</p>
<p>*  “To compare the Temple Mount to Mount Olympus is to bring everything into focus.” Dr. Israel Eldad</p>
<p>*  “It is the Jewish root – the deepest roots that any people has. Elsewhere, we grope for insight.” Rabbi Shraga Simmons</p>
<p>*  “The Temple Mount has remained a focal point for Jewish services for thousands of years. Prayers for a return to Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the Temple have been uttered by Jews since the Second Temple was destroyed, according to Jewish tradition.” Aaron Klein</p>
<p>*  “Jewish religious interest in the Mount is not monolithic, and includes those who merely want to visit a site of great Jewish importance, those who believe Jews should be allowed to pray there, those who believe Temple rituals, like sacrifice, should be renewed immediately, and those who <a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/ronn-torossian-what-prime-minister-netanyahus-vision">support the construction</a> of a Third Temple in place of the Islamic shrines of the Noble Sanctuary.” Matti Friedman</p>
<p>*  “Since Jews ascend it would not enter my mind to stop them from holding prayers services there.” Itzhak Nissim</p>
<p>*  “Despite the conventional wisdom that the Jewish people were banished from this holy site, the evidence suggests that Jews continued to maintain a strong connection to and frequently even a presence on the Temple Mount for the next two thousand years.” F.M. Loewenberg</p>
<p>As Yisrael Medad of the <a href="http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/10/30/when-in-israel-visit-the-farkash-gallery-and-menachem-begin-heritage-center/">Menachem Begin Heritage Center</a> has noted,</p>
<blockquote><p>“Although the Temple Mount is important to both groups, only under Jewish rule have both religions been given access to the Temple Mount. Therefore, it must remain under Israeli rule.”</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/ronn-torossian/all-of-jerusalem-belongs-to-the-state-of-israel/">All of Jerusalem – including The Temple Mount – belongs to Israel.</a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/obama.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-244454" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/obama-384x350.jpg" alt="obama" width="298" height="272" /></a>Originally published by the <a href="http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Our-World-Obama-and-the-definition-of-Islamic-380696">Jerusalem Post</a>. </em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In his speech on September 11 announcing that the US would commence limited operations against Islamic State, US President Barack Obama insisted, “ISIL, [i.e. Islamic State] is not Islamic. No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim.”</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">To be sure, it is hard to see how any human faith can countenance IS’s actions. For the past several months, on a daily basis, new videos appear of IS fighters proudly, openly and wantonly committing crimes against humanity. This week for instance, a video emerged of an IS slave market in Raqqah, Syria, where women and girls are sold as sex slaves to IS fighters.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Despite the glaring contradiction between divinity and monstrosity, the fact is that IS justifies every single one of its atrocities with verses from the Koran.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">IS referred to its sex slave market in Raqqah for instance as the “Booty Market&#8230; for what your right hands possess.”</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">The phrase “what your right hands possess” is a Koranic verse (4:3) that permits the sexual enslavement of women and girls by Muslim men.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Whether it is mainstream Islamic jurisprudence or not to embrace the enslavement of women and girls as concubines is not a question that Obama – or any US leader for that matter – is equipped to answer. And yet, Obama spoke with absolute certainty when he claimed that IS is not Islamic.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Obama speaks with similar conviction whenever he refers to Iran as “The Islamic Republic of Iran.”</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Obama’s consistent deference to the Iranian regime, exposed by his studious use of the regime’s name for itself whenever he discusses Iran indicates that at a minimum, he is willing to accept the regime’s claim that it is an Islamic regime. In other words, he is willing to accept that everything about the Iranian regime is authentic Islam.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">And that the Islamic Republic then, in keeping with his assertion that “no religion condones the killing of innocents,” similarly does not condone the killing of innocents.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Of course, there is a problem here. In fact, there are two problems here.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">First, in its treatment of its own people, the Iranian regime condones and actively engages in the killing of innocents, the vast majority of whom are Muslims. The Islamic regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran invokes the Koran to justify its killing.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Likewise, the political imprisonment, torture and general repression of Iranians from all faiths are justified in the name of Islam.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Consider two recent examples.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">On October 25, 27-year-old Reyhaneh Jabbari was hanged for allegedly killing a man who was trying to rape her. Jabbari was imprisoned for seven years prior to her execution.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Although her suffering was a cause celebre for advocates of human rights in Iran, the regime didn’t care. In contempt of the international community, it murdered her a week ago.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">As her attorney Mohammed Mostataei explained at a conference held by UN Watch in Geneva last week, Jabbari was tried under Islamic law – the law of the land in the Islamic Republic of Iran. And under Islamic sharia law, intent in adjudication of criminal offenses is irrelevant. As a consequence, once regime inquisitors force a person to confess, he or she is doomed.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Forced confessions are the stock in trade for Iranian investigators.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Last month, 25 women in Isfahan, Iran’s tourist capital, were reportedly victims of acid attacks.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">The women had acid thrown in their faces while they were driving in their cars.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">The public immediately suspected that they were targeted because their faces were not covered sufficiently to satisfy Islamic goon squads that drive around the city seeking – with the tacit if not open support of the regime – to terrorize the public into obeying their repressive, inhumane interpretation of Islam.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">On October 22, human rights activists in Iran held demonstrations against the acid attacks outside the judiciary building in Isfahan and outside the Iranian parliament in Tehran. In both instances, protesters insisted that there is no difference between the repression inherent in the radical Islam propagated by IS and that practiced by the Iranian regime.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">In both cities, demonstrators were attacked by regime forces with tear gas. Many were arrested.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">After the acid attacks were first reported, the Iranian parliament passed measures to strengthen the authority of the regime’s Basij shock troop squads to enforce repressive, misogynist Islamic dress codes on women and enforce other socially repressive aspects of the regime’s Islam.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">As Baron Alexander Carile of Barriew, a member of the British House of Lords and expert on terrorism explained last Friday in The Washington Times, “In essence, the regime responded to the acid attacks that have seriously injured 25 people so far by legitimizing the motives of their attackers.”</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">According to the UN, Iran executed 852 Iranians for various offenses from July 2013 through June 2014.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">This of course is just the tip of the iceberg. The vast majority of the regime’s killing is carried out by its proxies.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">IS’s persecution of those who have had the misfortune to fall under its control is a blight on the human race. And so is the persecution committed by Iran’s puppets – the Assad regime in Syria, and its Lebanese terror army Hezbollah.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Since the Syrian civil war began three years ago, the Iranian-controlled regime has killed somewhere between 120,000 and 200,000 people.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, nearly 10,000 of the dead are children, another 6,000 are women. Other groups place the number much higher.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">More than 2.14 million Syrians are now refugees in neighboring countries. Half of the refugees are children. Another 4.25 million Syrians are internally displaced.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">If it hadn’t been for Iran’s support for the regime, the vast majority of the victims of Syria’s civil war would still be alive and living in their homes.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Thanks to Iran and its Hezbollah army, Lebanon is on the brink of sharing Syria’s fate.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Hezbollah has played a major role in the war in Syria, and over the years, with Iran’s total backing, it has murdered thousands of people in Lebanon, Israel and throughout the world.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Hezbollah has trained sister Iranian supported or commanded terrorist groups like Islamic Jihad and Hamas. With the blessing, and often acting on direct orders from the Islamic Republic, these groups have killed hundreds of innocents. Like Hezbollah, Assad and the mullahs in Tehran, they have also repressed their own people in the name of their Islamic devotion.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">And this brings us back to Obama and his insistence that IS is not Islamic, but the Iranian regime is Islamic. How are we to understand this seeming anomaly? Throughout his tenure in office, Obama has gone out of his way to mainstream Muslim extremists.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">This has taken the form of granting senior appointments to people aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood. For instance, amid a Congressional investigation into suspected leaks, Mohamed Elibiary, a senior fellow at the US Department of Homeland Security Advisory Council, resigned his position.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Just before his resignation, Elibiary tweeted that the rise of the caliphate is “inevitable.” In 2004 he spoke at a conference in Dallas celebrating the legacy of Iranian dictator Ayatollah Khomeini. As Robert Spencer has reported, the conference was titled, “A Tribute to a Great Islamic Visionary.”</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">Moreover, Obama had befriended radical Islamic leaders who openly support terrorism, including Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">And of course, as we see more and more clearly each day, the centerpiece of Obama’s foreign policy has been appeasing the Islamic Republic of Iran in the hope of achieving détente with the nuclear weapons pursuing state sponsor of terrorism.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">The likes of IS, with its love of the video camera, discredit Obama’s narrative that radical, terror- supporting Muslims are peaceful. Since IS is openly evil, it is un-Islamic.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">On the other hand, despite the fact that it is nearly as barbaric as IS, the Iranian regime is Islamic, because as far as Obama is concerned, it is good. And it is good because he wants to make a deal with the mullahs.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">In other words, Obama is neither an expert on Islam, nor a man moved by moral indignation.</span><br style="color: #000000;" /><br style="color: #000000;" /><span style="color: #000000;">He opposes IS because IS makes it hard for him to defend Islam from bad public relations. And he coos about the “Islamic Republic of Iran” because he is dedicated to his mission of whitewashing and mainstreaming the regime born of an Islamic revolution.</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b><i><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/5339316755_050f27b80b.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-243443" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/5339316755_050f27b80b.jpg" alt="5339316755_050f27b80b" width="333" height="250" /></a>Editor’s note</i></b><i>: The following is Part Two of a three-part series examining the many parallels between Islam and the mafia following Bill Maher’s recent exclamation that Islam is “the only religion that acts like the mafia, that will f***ing kill you if you say the wrong thing, draw the wrong picture, or write the wrong book.”  Click the following for </i><em><span style="color: #0433ff;"><a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/raymond-ibrahim/islam-more-like-the-mafia-than-bill-maher-knows/">Part One</a></span> and <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/raymond-ibrahim/islam-and-the-mafia-making-an-offer-you-cant-refuse/">Part Three</a>.</em></p>
<p><b>Death to Traitors (AKA “Apostates”)</b></p>
<p>Once a Mafioso takes the oath of loyalty to the mafia—including the Omertà code of silence and secrecy—trying to leave the “family” is instantaneously seen as a betrayal and therefore punishable by death.  Any family member, great or small, is given authority to kill the traitor, the “turncoat.”</p>
<p>Compare this to Islam.  To be born to a Muslim father immediately makes the newborn a Muslim—there are no oaths to be taken, much less an option in the matter.   And, according to Islamic law, if born Muslims at any point in their lives choose to leave Islam, they are deemed “apostates”—traitors—and punished including by death.   Any zealous Muslim, not just the authorities, is justified in killing the apostate (hence why Muslim families that kill apostate children are rarely if ever prosecuted).</p>
<p>In the <a href="http://www.usc.edu/org/cmje/religious-texts/hadith/bukhari/084-sbt.php"><span style="color: #0433ff;">words</span></a> of Muhammad—the messenger (underboss) of Allah (godfather):  “Whoever leaves his Islamic faith, kill him.”</p>
<p>The charge of “traitor” is especially applicable when the Muslim converts to another religion—most frequently Islam’s historic competitor, Christianity—as opposed to simply losing faith in their hearts.  Put differently, the very recent plight of Meriam Ibrahim—a Sudanese Christian wife and mother who, while pregnant, was imprisoned and sentenced to death for “apostasy”—is the <a href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/sudan-mothers-case-tip-of-the-iceberg-on-islamic-persecution/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">tip of the iceberg of the plight of apostates under Islam</span></a>.</p>
<p><b>Loyalty and Enmity</b></p>
<p>Loyalty is an absolute prerequisite of the mafia.  Following elaborate rituals of blood oaths, mafia members are expected to maintain absolute loyalty to the family, on pain of death.</p>
<p>Compare this with Islam’s “Loyalty and Enmity” doctrine, which calls on Muslims to be loyal to each other and their appointed emirs, even if they dislike them.</p>
<p>For example, Koran 9:71 declares that “The believing [Muslim] men and believing [Muslim] women are allies of one another” (see also 8:72-75). And according to <a href="https://docs.zoho.com/writer/ropen.do?rid=dw6cy47129bc1931b4316a01ad6ded5a45ff0#bookmark=http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/muslim/032.smt.html"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Muhammad</span></a>, “A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him…. All things of a Muslim are inviolable for his brother in faith: his blood, his wealth, and his honor”—precisely those three things of a Mafioso that are inviolable for his mafia “brother.”  (This is why Muslims like U.S. Army Major Nidal Hassan, whose “<a href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/nidal-hasan-and-fort-hood/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">worst nightmare</span></a>” was to be deployed to fight fellow Muslims, often lash out.)</p>
<p>Aside from loyalty to the family, mafia members are also expected not to befriend or associate with too many “outsiders”—who by nature are not to be trusted, as they are not of the “family”—unless such a “friendship” helps advance the family’s position.</p>
<p>Similarly, the second half of the doctrine of Loyalty and Enmity—the enmity—calls on Muslims to maintain distance from and have hate for all non-Muslim “infidels.”</p>
<p>Thus Koran 5:51 warns Muslims against “taking the Jews and Christians as friends and allies … whoever among you takes them for friends and allies, he is surely one of them.” According to the mainstream Islamic exegesis of al-Tabari, Koran 5:51 means that the Muslim who “allies with them [non-Muslims] and enables them against the believers, that same one is a member of their faith and community,” that is, an outsider and enemy.</p>
<p>Similar scriptures include Koran 4:89, 4:144, 5:54, 6:40, 9:23, and 58:22; the latter simply states that true Muslims do not befriend non-Muslims—“even if they be their fathers, sons, brothers, or kin.” Koran 60:1 declares, “O you who believe! Do not take my enemy and your enemy [non-believers] for friends: would you offer them love while they deny what has come to you of the truth [i.e., while they deny Islam]?”</p>
<p><b>Two-Facedness</b></p>
<p>As mentioned, close relations to non-mafia individuals that prove advantageous to the mafia (for example, collaboration with a “crooked cop”) are permissible—as long as the mafia keeps a safe distance, keeps the outsider at arm’s length.</p>
<p>Compare this to Koran 3:28 which commands “believers not to take infidels for friends and allies instead of believers… unless you but guard yourselves against them, taking precautions.” According to the standard Koran commentary of Tabari, “taking precautions” means:</p>
<blockquote><p>If you [Muslims] are under their [non-Muslims'] authority, fearing for yourselves, behave loyally to them with your tongue while harboring inner animosity for them … [but know that] Allah has forbidden believers from being friendly or on intimate terms with the infidels rather than other believers—except when infidels are above them [in authority]. Should that be the case, let them <i>act friendly</i> towards them while preserving their religion.</p></blockquote>
<p>After interpreting Quran 3:28 as meaning that Muslims may “protect” themselves “through outward show” when under non-Muslim authority, Ibn Kathir, perhaps Islam’s most celebrated exegete, quotes Muhammad saying: “Truly, we smile to the faces of some people, while our hearts curse them.”</p>
<p>And just a few years ago, Sheikh Muhammad Hassan—a leading Salafi cleric in Egypt—<a href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/from-the-arab-world/sharias-sinister-smiles/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">asserted on live television</span></a> that, while Muslims should never smile to the faces of non-Muslims, they should smile, however insincerely, if by so doing they help empower Islam, especially in the context of <i>da‘wa</i>.</p>
<p>The idea of hating “outsiders” is so ingrained in Islam that another leading Salafi cleric insists that, although Muslim men may marry Christian and Jewish women, they must hate them in their heart—and show them that they hate them in the hopes that they convert to the “family” of Islam.</p>
<p>(For more on the doctrine of “Loyalty and Enmity,” see al-Qaeda leader Dr. Ayman Zawahiri’s comprehensive treatise by that name in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Qaeda-Reader-Essential-Organization/dp/076792262X/ref=rec_dp_0"><span style="color: #0433ff;"><i>The Al Qaeda Reader</i></span></a>, pgs. 63-115)<i>.</i></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Race-based violence in the rest of the country -- and what can't be said about the perpetrators. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mob14n-1-web.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-243203" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mob14n-1-web-450x331.jpg" alt="mob14n-1-web" width="339" height="249" /></a>Forget Ferguson: Black mobs may scream death threats at police in St. Louis, claiming they are the victims of racial violence, but around the rest of the country, black mobs are creators – not recipients – of racial violence. And reporters are loath to say it.</p>
<p>In Brooklyn, a mob of 100 black people rampaged through the streets on Saturday, destroying property, releasing the brakes on buses, and attacking the clerks in a grocery store.</p>
<p style="color: #0433ff;"><a href="http://youtu.be/iSvZ7jANq1k">On video</a><span style="color: #000000;">.</span></p>
<p>Store owner Yanki Klein told <a href="http://crownheightsinfo.com/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">CrownHeightsInfo.com</span></a> that the violence is “an ongoing issue&#8221; and that he raised the matter a number of times with the local precinct, but he feels those complaints have fallen on deaf ears. “[Very often] these kinds of kids come by my store and yell ‘heil hitler,’ or steal things that are on shelves near the door,” he said.</p>
<p>This mob action is just the latest in dozens of such assaults and mayhem in this Jewish neighborhood of Crown Heights over the last five years — many documented in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1938067061/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_lc?tag=10grebooforme-20&amp;camp=213381&amp;creative=390973&amp;linkCode=as4&amp;creativeASIN=1938067061&amp;adid=1KMNG6M1Z24P8TZ7SGZ9&amp;&amp;ref-refURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwhitegirlbleedalot.com%2F"><span style="color: #0433ff;">White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence to America and how the media ignore it.</span></a></p>
<p>The attackers are almost always black. The victims almost always Orthodox Jews. But taking a cue from other local media, <a href="http://crownheights.info/crime/455921/hooliganism-dozens-of-teenagers-go-on-vandalism-spree/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">CrownHeightsInfo.com</span></a> only described the assailants as “teenagers” or “hooligans.”</p>
<p>At least one reader was in on the secret: “Shame on CrownHeights.info for not calling it like it is. This was a group of black youth. This article is factually faulty and misleading. There was only half a story told here.”</p>
<p>At the University of Illinois in Champaign, a local version of the Knockout Game called “polar bear hunting” is back: Also on Saturday in four separate incidents, a group of black people attacked at least five students for “seemingly no reason,” said the campus newspaper. This was the second week in a row the attacks occurred.</p>
<p style="color: #343434;"><span style="color: #000000;">“</span>The unprovoked attacks on pedestrians on the University of Illinois campus in Champaign, IL weren’t even mentioned on the local <i>News-Gazette</i> newspaper’s website,” observed the web site, <span style="color: #0433ff;"><a href="http://www.gunssavelife.com/?p=14244">GunsSaveLives.com</a></span>.</p>
<p style="color: #343434;">Polar bear hunting gained fame on this campus beginning in 2010 when black mobs attacked dozens of non-black students and residents in this local version of the knockout game. Even the local weatherman was a victim.</p>
<p>In Philadelphia Saturday night, a group of 15 black people on bikes assaulted several people over a two-hour period, breaking the jaw of one person who was knocked out with a single punch from behind. Neighbors report this has been happening there for a long time. At least <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sa9IobcLp8&amp;list=UUkffs7dlQWuM3HKUM4LeMVA"><span style="color: #0433ff;">one of the attacks is on video</span></a>.</p>
<p>The local media there routinely do not report on routine racial violence. Last year, when Philadelphia Magazine tried to do just that with a piece called <i>Being White in Philly</i>, The Inquirer reported the resulting outrage: Not at the racial violence, but at the people who noticed it.</p>
<p>The Inquirer said the article was guilty of “dwelling on negative experiences that whites had with blacks that often fit into racial stereotypes.”</p>
<p>In Shaker Heights, the Cleveland Plain Dealer maintained its policy of &#8220;don’t ask, don’t tell&#8221; regarding routine racial violence in that city. A few days before the Brooklyn attacks, a group of ten people assaulted a man outside of his home. After punching and kicking and threatening him with a gun, they stole his phone and gym bag and fled.</p>
<p>The paper mentioned everything except the description of the attackers. They were black.</p>
<p>At the <a href="http://youtu.be/55fiki1U1RA?list=UUkffs7dlQWuM3HKUM4LeMVA"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Arizona State Fair last week, a group of 60 to 100</span></a> black people rampaged throughout the fairgrounds, eventually attacking police as well. More than 30 were taken into custody, some on video. Some insisted that because some of those involved in the violence may have been Hispanic, race had nothing to do with it. Either way, not one local outlet reported that black mob violence is an increasingly frequent event at fairs and carnivals throughout the country. <a href="http://youtu.be/55fiki1U1RA?list=UUkffs7dlQWuM3HKUM4LeMVA"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Much of it on video.</span></a></p>
<p>In Harrisburg Tuesday night, a group of “teenagers” tried to rob two Democrat state legislators. One of them, Marty Flynn, a former corrections officer, decided to pull out his licensed hand gun and shoot at them instead. Police arrested four black people.</p>
<p>In Brooklyn Sunday night, four black people stalked, taunted and attacked a gay man. He is in the hospital in critical condition. The Daily News actually identified the attackers as black.</p>
<p style="color: #10121a;"><span style="color: #000000;">In Minneapolis, this week, a member of a neighborhood group reported  “A </span>bunch of high school kids just went down 44th with a couple Metro Transit Police squad cars following them. Yelling, screaming, pushing, shoving, making threats, flicking people off.”</p>
<p style="color: #10121a;">Cops there confirm: Just another day after school for black students in Minneapolis.  And Cincinnati. And Harrisburg. And Kansas City. And … this a long list.</p>
<p style="color: #10121a;">In Memphis, black student violence after school is now so bad that police ride several buses to protect the other riders– followed by patrol cars – when black students leave school.</p>
<p style="color: #10121a;">Channel 3 News in Memphis this week wanted to get to the bottom of what it called a recent rash of “teen” violence. In September, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85-Gc6cZOBQ&amp;list=UUkffs7dlQWuM3HKUM4LeMVA"><span style="color: #0433ff;">a video of hundreds</span></a> of black people rampaging through a grocery store parking lot, attacking three people, knocking out one, went viral.</p>
<p style="color: #10121a;">The station interviewed <a href="http://youtu.be/iSvZ7jANq1k"><span style="color: #0433ff;">two young black people who said</span></a> no amount of programs or government assistance can deter them from their violent ways. And they were not shy in talking about the reasons behind the mayhem: <span style="color: #000000;">“It’s fun,” said one. “To be honest, the police make you want to do things.”</span></p>
<p style="color: #10121a;"><em>Colin Flaherty is the author of a new e–book and video on racial violence called </em><a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/knockout-game-lie-aww-hell-sign-new-e-book-video/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no</span></a>!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[America's crisis of masculinity and its dangerous consequences. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mans-fist.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-242612" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mans-fist.jpg" alt="mans-fist" width="291" height="241" /></a>On Friday night, a Huntington Beach man, 43, was walking back to his car after the Los Angeles Angels played the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series. Three men accosted him, and then proceeded to beat him senseless. He is currently in critical condition at a local hospital after police found him unconscious.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t find the story particularly shocking, given that I took my father and two younger sisters to the Angels-Royals game on Thursday night. Throngs packed the stadium — the team announced the attendance at 43,321. We had bleacher seats, which sold for $68. The team must have also sold standing room tickets, since behind the bleachers — lines of fans stood three deep, watching the game.</p>
<p>When my family and I arrived at the game, the ushers had not cleared paths through the standing-room crowd for those who wanted to get to their seats. We gently edged our way toward the seats.</p>
<p>Which is when I heard a guy scream into my ear: &#8220;Why the f—- are you bumping me?&#8221;</p>
<p>I turned to face a young Hispanic man, wearing a long-sleeved flannel shirt (it was reportedly 93 degrees outside at the time), baggy jeans, an Angels cap cocked off at a bizarre angle, the brim unbent. He wore a close-cropped three-day stubble. He was approximately my height, but probably 20lbs. heavier than I. Two of his friends flanked him.</p>
<p>Though I hadn&#8217;t bumped, I quickly apologized — after all, what point is there in a confrontation at a sporting event?</p>
<p>My apology, however, was not accepted. &#8220;I said, why the f—- did you bump me?&#8221;</p>
<p>Again I apologized. When it became clear that this fellow had downed at least a few beers and had his mind set on some sort of violence, my sister grabbed my arm and we walked away. He glared at me the rest of the game. My sisters focused on reassuring me that getting into a physical fight with the dolt would have served no useful purpose, and could have ended in a 3-on-1 beating.</p>
<p>Which didn&#8217;t make me feel much better.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this fellow wasn&#8217;t the only beer-soaked Neanderthal in the bleachers. When a Royals fan, who happened to be black, showed up with his girlfriend, two boozy white Angels fans screamed — with children in close proximity — &#8220;Go back to f—-ing Kansas City!&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unlikely any of these charming folks were involved in the beating of the Huntington Beach man after Game 2 of the ALDS. But we now live in a society where young male barbarians are growing in number, their masculinity tied into useless aggression. More and more, young men seem to channel their aggressive instinct not into building, but into destroying — not into defending the innocent, particularly women and children, but into confrontations for no apparent reason other than demonstrating dominance.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>As a society, we have robbed men of their protective missions. Men who seek to protect women and children are called anti-feminist, gender normative. Men have abandoned their responsibilities to the state. As for building things — well, there too, men have been told that to build is to act selfishly, without concern for the community. And young men have no male role models, since many of their fathers have abandoned them or abandoned true maleness in pursuit of vainglorious brutality. All of which leads to an increase in destruction by men without purpose, hemmed in only by the power of the state and the benefits of self-interest.</p>
<p>None of this is an excuse for barbarianism, of course. But it does help explain why masculinity used to center around acting like a gentleman, while now it centers around acting like a boor. The more we foster the barbarian mentality, the more barbaric society becomes.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[And how the world suffers the consequences. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/islamonazis-in-syria-with-koran-and-fascist-salute-30.9.2013.png"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-242024" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/islamonazis-in-syria-with-koran-and-fascist-salute-30.9.2013-450x313.png" alt="islamonazis-in-syria-with-koran-and-fascist-salute-30.9.2013" width="308" height="214" /></a>At least since the early part of the 20th century, aside from oil, the Arab world has produced and exported two products.</p>
<p>It has produced essentially no technology, medicine or anything else in the world of science. It has almost no contributions to world literature, art or to intellectual development.</p>
<p>According to the most recent United Nations Arab Human Development Reports (2003-2005), written by Arab intellectuals, Greece, with a population of 11 million, annually translates five times more books from English than the entire Arab world, population 370 million. Nor is this a new development. The total number of books translated into Arabic during the last 1,000 years is less than Spain translates into Spanish in one year.</p>
<p>ArabianBusiness.com reports that about 100 million people in the Arab world are illiterate; and three quarters of them are between the ages of 15 and 45.</p>
<p>As for Arab women, the situation is even worse. Nearly half of the Arab world&#8217;s women are illiterate, and sexual attacks on women have actually increased since the Arab Spring, as have forced marriages and trafficking. And the exact number of women murdered by family members in &#8220;honor killings&#8221; is not knowable. It is only known to be large.</p>
<p>In Egypt, the largest Arab country, 91 percent of women and girls are subjected to female genital mutilation, according to UNICEF. Not to mention the number of women in the Arab world who must wear veils or even full-face and full-body coverings known as burkas. And, of course, Saudi Arabia is infamous for not allowing women to drive a car.</p>
<p>Another unhappy feature of the Arab world is the prevalence of lies. To this day, Egypt denies that it was the Egyptian pilot, Ahmed El-Habashi, who allegedly crashed an EgyptAir jet into the ocean deliberately. Vast numbers of Arabs believe that Jews knew of the 9-11 plot and avoided going to work at the World Trade Center that day.</p>
<p>So, then, is there anything at which the Arab world has excelled for the past two generations? Has there been a major Arab export?</p>
<p>As it happens, there are two.</p>
<p>Hatred and violence.</p>
<p>The Arab world has no peer when it comes to hatred &#8211; of the Western world generally, and especially of Israel. Israel-hatred and its twin, Jew-hatred, are the oxygen that the Arab world breathes.</p>
<p>Two of the most popular songs in Egypt over the past decade have been &#8220;I Hate Israel&#8221; and the ironically named &#8220;I Love Israel.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lyrics of the latter song include:</p>
<p>&#8220;May it [Israel] be destroyed. May it be wiped off the map. May a wall fall on it. May it disappear from the universe. God, please have it banished.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;May it dangle from the noose. May I get to see it burning, Amen. I will pour gasoline on it. I am an Egyptian man. I am not a coward.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I Hate Israel&#8221; is so popular that it was the song which Egypt&#8217;s pop star Chaaboula sang at the largest music festival in the Arab world, Morocco&#8217;s Mawazine.</p>
<p>The festival, one of the biggest in the world, featured Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Ricky Martin and Kool and the Gang.</p>
<p>Some of the lyrics:</p>
<p>&#8220;I hate Israel, and I would say so if I was asked to.</p>
<p>&#8220;Two faces of the same coin, America and Israel. They made the world a jungle and ignited the fuse.</p>
<p>&#8220;About that [Twin] Tower, oh people. Definitely! His friends [Israel] were the ones who brought it down.&#8221;</p>
<p>The other major Arab product and export has been violence.</p>
<p>It is difficult to overstate the amount of violence in the Arab world. Mass murder and cruelty have characterized the Arab world.</p>
<p>Regarding Iraq under Saddam Hussein, Dexter Filkins, the New York Times correspondent in Iraq from 2003-2006 wrote: &#8220;Here, in Hussein, was one of the world&#8217;s indisputably evil men: he murdered as many as a million of his people, many with poison gas. He tortured, maimed and imprisoned countless more. His unprovoked invasion of Iran is estimated to have left another million people dead.&#8221;</p>
<p>Syria, too, has been a country of mass murder, torture, and brutal totalitarian rule — under the rule of Hafez Assad (in power 1971-2000), and his son, Bashar, the current killer-dictator who, among other atrocities, used Sarin gas against his own people in 2013.</p>
<p>In the ongoing Syrian Civil War, according to the United Nations, between March 15, 2011 and April 30, 2014, 191,000 Syrians, about a third of them civilians, were killed. In addition, 2.5 million people have fled Syria to neighboring countries, and 6.5 million have fled their homes within Syria.</p>
<p>In Algeria in the 1990s, Islamist terrorists engaged in wholesale murder of their fellow Algerians. That war cost Algeria about 100,000 lives, mostly civilian.</p>
<p>In Sudan, the Arab government&#8217;s atrocities against the non-Arab population in the region of Darfur led to about 300,000 deaths and over a million refugees. In addition there was systematic rape of untold numbers of non-Arab women by Arab gangs known as the Janjaweed.</p>
<p>And then there was the terror unleashed by Palestinians against Israeli civilians in restaurants, at weddings, on buses, etc. The Palestinians are the modern fathers of terrorism directed solely at civilians.</p>
<p>There are two possible reactions to this description of the Arab world. One is that it is an example of anti-Arab &#8220;racism.&#8221; That would be the reaction in much of the Arab world, on the left and among most academics — despite the fact that the description is of a culture and that the Arabs are not a race. The other is that is that it is tragically accurate. That would be the reaction of some in the Arab world and anyone who cares about truth. One such individual is an Arab. In Politico Magazine two weeks ago. Hisham Melhem, Washington bureau chief of Al-Arabiya, the Dubai-based satellite channel, titled his article &#8220;The Barbarians Within Our Gates.&#8221; The subtitle is &#8220;Arab civilization has collapsed. It won&#8217;t recover in my lifetime.&#8221;</p>
<p>Islamic State, which is overwhelmingly Arab, is just the latest manifestation.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Not enough evidence to convict the assailant? The film says otherwise. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Screen-Shot-2014-09-09-at-3.04.39-PM.png"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-240618" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Screen-Shot-2014-09-09-at-3.04.39-PM.png" alt="Screen Shot 2014-09-09 at 3.04.39 PM" width="327" height="295" /></a>Tuesday in court was supposed to be a pretty straight forward day for Alec Guessford: Let the family court commissioner watch, on video, as five of his black classmates taunt, harass and beat him on a school bus in April. Watch his classmate promise to never, ever do it again.</p>
<p>Make a victim’s statement. Then get on with his life as a Dover, Delaware junior high student.</p>
<p>Four of the assailants had already pled guilty to various charges of misdemeanor assault and conspiracy — including the person who took the video and posted it.</p>
<p>But it got complicated when the fifth assailant, Tracy Matthews, decided to take his chances with a trial before the commissioner. Matthews said no matter what it seemed like on the video — he’s the one with the hoodie — he was not beating anyone. He was just looking for his headphones. The four assailants testified on behalf of their friend/accomplice.</p>
<p>Before the trial, members of the Guessford family sat in the same witness room as the four people who pled guilty to beating their son. “They were laughing and taunting us,” said Dale Guessford, Alec’s dad. “Trying to intimidate us. Finally the court officials moved us into another room.”</p>
<p>The four assailants were on better behavior in court. Good enough to persuade Commissioner Angela Fowler to let their friend go free with a finding of not guilty.  Fowler, a former public defender and “child advocate” for State Attorney General Beau Biden, said she could not see the accused person actually assault Alec.</p>
<p>“Guess she doesn’t have a slow motion switch on whatever she uses to watch videos,” Guessford said. “But even without it, it is easy to see Matthews participating in the assault. And easy to see other children watch him do it. Though they were never called as witnesses.”</p>
<p>You can see the beating below, in slow motion:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Tp5vA0NQBSs" width="460" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>After the beating, the school was reluctant to take action. “They tried to tell me Alex provoked the assault,” said Guessford. “But this was the second time it had happened. And it was five on one.”</p>
<p>When the video came out, that seemed to settle the questions of who was taunting whom, who was harassing whom, and who was beating on whom.</p>
<p>The 30-second video went viral shortly after the beating. Soon after Alec’s father posted it on his Facebook page, the video received 125,000 shares. After I posted it on YouTube, the video received 60,000 views in the first few hours before YouTube removed it, saying the film violated its terms of service that prohibit anyone from glorifying racial violence.</p>
<p>When this intrepid correspondent pointed out that the video was exposing racial violence, not glorifying it, YouTube put it back up — several weeks later.</p>
<p>But even a video record of the assault was not enough to convince commissioner Fowler. “Whatever this was, it can hardly be called a trial,” Dale Guessford said. “The very first question the defense lawyer asked my son was not even a real question. He said ‘you really don’t like black people very much do you, Alex?’”</p>
<p>The judge ruled the question out of order.  A better question might have been addressed to the judge: ‘Who are you going to believe, my clients and his thuggish friends, or that lying videotape?’</p>
<p>Of the 20 or so students on the bus, only the friends of the Matthews were called to testify. The same one who had already pleaded guilty. And the prosecutor did not ask Alex any questions.</p>
<p>“Even without slow motion, you can see Tracy Matthews lean over and punch Alec,” Guessford said.  “Lots of people saw it without slow motion.”</p>
<p>After about an hour, the judge heard what she needed to hear and issued the not guilty ruling.</p>
<p>“What a message,” said Dale Guessford. “Telling that child it is OK to beat another child. Telling my son it is OK to try to portray him as a bad person because he was the victim of a racial assault and he had the nerve not to like it.”</p>
<p>And one last thing, said Guessford: “There were no headphones.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/zx1.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-240495" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/zx1-355x350.jpg" alt="zx" width="279" height="275" /></a>“Hold on, they got a white dude.” And it sure seemed like fun &#8212; if the laughing and shrieking on this latest video of black mob violence is any indication.</p>
<p>This racial mayhem happened <span tabindex="0" data-term="goog_28276789">Saturday</span> night in Memphis at a Kroger’s department store. <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/hold-got-white-dude-three-unconscious/">WMCA Channel 5 out of Jackson</a>, Mississippi picks up the story, all of it except the central organizing feature of the violence: All of the hundreds of people involved in the mayhem and violence are black. Except the victims. They are white:</p>
<p>&#8220;Three people were jumped by a large group of teenagers who were chanting &#8216;fam mob.&#8217;&#8221; The group, who came from CiCi&#8217;s Pizza, reportedly attacked a 25-year-old customer as he left his car to enter Kroger. Two employees, ages 17 and 18, were attacked while trying to stop the fight. Both were &#8220;struck several times in the head and face, while being knocked to the ground.&#8221; The victims say large pumpkins were thrown at their heads. They both eventually were knocked unconscious.”</p>
<p>However serious it seemed to the victims, the predators and their videographer were having a good time. Laughing and running.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/85-Gc6cZOBQ?list=UUkffs7dlQWuM3HKUM4LeMVA" width="460" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Former prison psychologist Marlin Newburn has been on the front lines of racial violence for more than 30 years. Newburn said the laughing is part of the large-scale violence, something he has seen many times before:</p>
<p>“These predators were merely living out their preferred lifestyle, a primary part of the black culture, as opposed to a subculture,” said Newburn. “This lifestyle of one of sadistic and primitive impulse where they believe themselves to be 10 feet tall, bullet proof, very smart, good looking, gifted, and tougher than anyone. If you&#8217;re thinking that&#8217;s the narcissism common among pre-adolescent children, ages 6 through 12 inclusive, you&#8217;d be correct.”</p>
<blockquote><p>This population lives without any sense of personal responsibility or boundaries with others. When assaulting or killing someone, the absence of a conscience is considered among their peers as an indicator of strength and power. Expressing joy in the process only heightens their street cred. Most all are functionally illiterate, but one lesson most all of them have learned from their elders, beginning in their earliest years, is to hate white people.</p></blockquote>
<p>This video of large scale black mob violence in Memphis comes just a few days after news of a similar incident — with a smaller crowd — became public in Milwaukee. The outcome was different too.</p>
<p>Police say Carmon Powell was part of a group of black people who were robbing the largely white crowd in a Milwaukee entertainment district. At least 35 times over the last few months.</p>
<p>The local <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/hold-got-white-dude-three-unconscious/">Fox News affiliate reports</a> the details:</p>
<blockquote><p>“A criminal complaint says Powell was in a group of teens that admitted to carjackings and armed robberies in a four-day crime spree. One member of the group wanted to do just one more. They confronted a group of people near 2nd and National. One member of the robbery group fired at the victims. A victim took out his own 9MM and fired back — the robbers left.”</p>
<p>“Afterward, Powell remembered he left his backpack at the scene, he went back. The complaint says the victims were still hiding behind cars, Powell reached into his bag and walked towards them. Fearing Powell was retrieving a gun, the victims fired one shot striking Powell.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Powell’s Facebook page is littered with him brandishing various weapons, including an AK-47. A combat rifle.</p>
<p>Just a month ago, Joshua Drake, another member of the mob, was shot trying to rob a Milwaukee boutique. The manager of the store, Lupe Aguilar, had recently bought a gun and used it to defend herself and kill Drake.</p>
<p><a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/hold-got-white-dude-three-unconscious/">A day before Drake tried to rob the boutique, he told his friends</a> he was getting his life together.  He had a lengthy criminal history.</p>
<p>It was the third robbery at the store within a month.</p>
<p>There have not been any since.</p>
<p>Immediately prior to the latest fatal shooting of the miscreant, this mob ran into another <a href="http://whitegirlbleedalot.com/hold-got-white-dude-three-unconscious/">Milwaukee woman, who was lucky to escape with her life. Fox News in Milwaukee </a>was the only station who thought it important enough to track her down:</p>
<p>“He was at my side with a gun at point-blank range,” the woman says.</p>
<p>“She says she picked up a friend early <span tabindex="0" data-term="goog_28276790">Monday</span> morning, September 1st.&#8221; In an instant, a gun was at her head. “He said ‘don’t move.’ He opened the door and said, ‘Give me everything you have,&#8217;” the woman said.”</p>
<p>“Two other teens went to attack her friend — a theology student who began to pray.”</p>
<p>“Neither had much money to give the teens. The woman says two other teens yelled to the boy who held her at gunpoint. “It was just — ‘shoot them. They have nothing. Just shoot them. Kill them,&#8217;” the woman says. The woman says the teens took her cell phone. She says she begged for her life, as the mother of a young boy.”</p>
<p>“The phone they had had a picture of my son as the backdrop and I said ‘that little boy on the phone — he’s five,&#8217;” the woman said.</p>
<p>The woman says the group of teens took off.</p>
<p>The Powell shooting is at least the fourth perpetrator of black-on-white violence killed in Milwaukee this year. In March, a group of black people held down and beat a maintenance worker in Milwaukee with a baseball bat.</p>
<p>He shot and killed two of them.</p>
