Automated Greed Factories: How Soulless Banking Is Crushing the Economy
Two seemingly unrelated stories from the past week illustrate a fundamental problem with today's Financial System. While this problem may seem "philosophical" or abstract, it's very real, and we won't put our economy back on a sound footing until we get a handle on it. The problem is this: Banking Institutions no longer want to perform the human functions they've performed for a thousand years. Financing has become a robotic form of mass production, designed to generate ever-increasing...

Salon Tries Again To Blame the Displeasure With The Obama Agenda On Racism
Yawnnnn. This REALLY is getting tedious . And I really don’t know what the end game is supposed to be for these race-baiters. Yes, there are Racists in America. There are Racists all around the globe. Blacks are Racists, too, I think. Apparently, the writer of this Salon article saw a Bumper Sticker that was so Racist that Obama, ipso facto, is a great president with a great American message and we should all just stfu. Something like that. I think that’s the point of this -...

Radio Host Calls for Terrorist Attack Against Any Mosque Near Ground Zero
Mike Rosen either has a very bad sense of humor or is a deranged lunatic. But in the anti-Muslim crowd, he will likely be hailed as a hero for speaking up against the very scary menace that is Islam in Manhattan. Leading GOP Radio Host Pushes Terrorist Attack on Any Islamic Center Built in Lower Manhattan (Open Left) On Wednesday night, I debated KHOW’s Peter Boyles and 850 KOA host/Denver Post columnist Mike Rosen in front of a sold out audience in Centennial. During a question about...

Salon "media critic" spreads lies about Pamela Geller, Ground Zero mosque in claiming to clear up NYT inaccuracies
Justin Elliott of Salon is hopping mad about the New York Times' slyly contemptuous piece against Pamela Geller : he doesn't think it contained enough venom, and is eager to supply it himself. And after the time-hallowed fashion of Leftist "media critics," the "truth" he offers is just more lies. "New York Times runs softball profile of Pamela Geller," by Justin Elliott for Salon , October 11: The New York Times on Sunday published a big profile of Pamela Geller, the blogger and...

Youngstown News, Muslim center in Valley holds open house to open minds about Islam
When 19 Muslim Extremists hijacked four planes and killed several thousand peo ple during the Sept. 11, 2001, Terrorist Attacks, they also did major damage to a major religion, as far as Dr. Nibal Zaghloul is concerned. Those people also were hijacking my religion, Zaghloul explained during Sundays open house at the Masjid Al-Khair Mosque and school, 1670 Homewood Ave., on the citys South Side.

Sharia Flaw: Hamas Fundraising in American Mosque?
A Fundraising event in an Orlando, Fla., Mosque is adding fuel to the fiery debate surrounding Islamic construction projects around the U.S. The New English Review , an online political and cultural journal, recently posted video on its Web site of the event, claiming the 2009 gathering turned into a benefit for the Terrorist group Hamas.

Islamic supremacist Ground Zero mega-mosque developers, out of ideas, haul out "bigotry" charge against opponents for 10000th time
"Blind Bigotry," says Rauf. No, not blind at all, and not Bigotry. Our eyes are wide open, Rauf. We see the implications of your advocacy for Sharia, your call for restrictions on the Freedom of Speech, your refusal to denounce Hamas, your backing of the Jihad Flotilla, your dissembling about whether the place would be a Mosque or not, and all the rest of it. We see it all too clearly. "Anti-mosque Lawsuit slammed as Bigotry," by Annie Karni in the New York Post , October 11: The developers...

Among Republicans, 4% Support A Mosque Near Ground Zero; 21% Support A Strip Club
Now, that’s Family Values. Naked women, okay! House of worship, not so much. Public Policy Polling did the survey.

A-poll-ing
Even though only 4% of Republican voters support building a Mosque 2 blocks from Ground Zero, 21% of them say they would support building a Strip Club in the same place. From Opinion Research / CNN : Americans are now almost evenly divided on their opinion of Obama versus Bush. 47% say Obama has done a better job as president, while 45% say Bush did a better job. Are we nuts?

Kristallnacht Memories and the Ground Zero Mosque
The next morning, walking with my mother through streets still littered with shards of broken glass, we came upon the site of the city's main Synagogue. Like many Synagogues in Europe, the building itself had stood unobtrusively behind a thick wall, not visible from the street. The prudent placement of Synagogues was intended to offer them and their worshipers a measure of protection from the periodic anti-Semitic outpourings they were subjected to. But that night, there was no protection to be...

Is Obama's Position on Religious Freedom 'Mosque, Yes; Cross, No?'
It would be unimaginable for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to pursue the removal of thousands of crosses in Arlington National Cemetery, situated so near the seat of the Federal Government in the nation's capital and where so many of America's Veterans and honored heroes are laid to rest. Likewise, it would be seemingly unthinkable for the ACLU to try to sue to eliminate the Senate and House chaplains (both of whom are of the Christian faith), who, in accordance with longstanding...

Developers for Ground Zero mosque claim Vincent Forras' lawsuit against them is 'blind bigotry'
The developers behind the proposed Mosque and Cultural Center near Ground Zero are blasting a $350 million Lawsuit filed by a 9/11 first responder as "blind Bigotry." Vincent Forras, a former volunteer Firefighter from Westchester, has sued Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and Park51 -- the complex that includes the Mosque -- charging that they're fronts for "interests tied to Terrorism." Forras says he deserves to be compensated for the "psychological Terrorism" and Emotional Distress he suffered when...

Republicans for Strip Club Near Ground Zero, but No Mosque
Just four percent of Republican respondents said they support building a Mosque two blocks from the site, whereas 21 percent said they would be fine with a Strip Club. Forty-nine percent of Democrats said they supported the Mosque and 33 for the Strip Club. Among Independents, it was 34 percent for the Mosque and 28 percent for the Strip Club. “This shows the extent and impact of the recent rise in Anti-Islam Rhetoric in our society that people would rather have some kind of...

Dem Congresswoman Favors Terror Blindfold
"The good news is that I'm actually in a really good position to work on these issues, because I am on the Intelligence Committee," she reminded the audience, "and I am the chair of the Oversight and Investigation Subcommittee." "The first thing I'm gonna do when I go back [to Washington]--and I've been talking to Muslim advocates--is to talk about: what is this business of people going into Mosques, of investigating Peace Activists, who are exercising their...

linked by NY Times, profile on Pamela Geller
The NY Times ran an extensive piece on Ayn Randian Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs blog on Sunday in the NY/Region section. The piece was titled, "Outrage and Outrageous." It talked of her rise from obscure rightwing blogger to cable TV News fame. And of course, delved deeply into her most recent activities leading the opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque. In the 16th paragraph Libertarian Republican even got a link. In the following excerpted paragraph at "television program," they...

Rand Paul: Obama's Elitism on Display in Mosque Debate
&programID=4babd38e02aac "As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country," Obama said at the dinner. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a Community Center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.” The fact that pieces of the plane that hit the World Trade Center’s south tower landed on the site on 9/11 has added...

NYT Profiles Blogger Who Launched Faux "Ground Zero Mosque" Controversy
This is another one of those “better late than never” stories, I suppose. It would have been extremely helpful for citizens of the US and the world — but maybe not MSM coffers — to have dished this up back in July, before Sarah Palin et al got their paws on it. The outrageous and the solemn are deeply intertwined in her character. Ms. Geller admits to using Atlas Shrugs to test topics significant (the conflict in Sudan) and outlandish (that a young Barack Obama slept...

Times Hits 'Venomous' Rhetoric of Ground Zero Mosque Critic Pamela Geller
The Times' inaccurate portrait of Ann Coulter being outflanked by the Tea Party was accompanied in Sunday’s edition by a hostile profile of fiery anti-Islamic provocateur blogger Pamela Geller by Anne Barnard and Alan Feuer. It appeared on the front of the Sunday Metro section under a selection of photos of Geller and the headline “ Outraged and Outrageous .” Pamela Geller’s apartment, in the fashion of the blogosphere, doubles as her office. It is a modern full-floor...

In flap over mosque near Ground Zero, conservative bloggers gaining influence

Found: First Unedited Draft of al Qaeda's Inspire II Magazine
Fatwa to uptight for finding this hid on Sammy's flash drive. UPDATE: Howie covered one of these articles, but Internet Haganah has a number of thoughts on the new Inspire magazine. 1) Inspire as talisman, a good luck charm, and an idol . 2) Some questions for Awlaki and Samir . 3) Step Z: nuke America. Step A - Y: ?????? 4) Ah, so that explains that bruise on Zawahiri's head . 5) Samir Khan on the Ground Zero Mosque . 6) Out: Jihadi forums. In: SITE and MEMRI .

Noise is not Free
We’re on a collision course with technology. Free Speech is being killed in order to save it. Something is always boiling up that involves free Speech. Cartoons are drawn of the “wrong” person, somebody is jailed for speaking out and gets the Nobel Prize, there are plans to build a Mosque in the “wrong” place. And some people picket Funerals to gloat. (photo by Burstein! , CC licensed) All of these things are a step too far for some people. Others insist that...

Youngstown, Ohio: Muslim spokesman says "a greater number of Muslims need to be on TV informing people about the true tenets and principles of the religion" in response to jihad violence
This is just another story among hundreds that come across the transom all the time: a local Muslim group sponsors a meeting in which a Muslim spokesman explains that, contrary to appearances, Islam is actually a peaceful religion, when properly understood. There is nothing particularly noteworthy about this one in particular; it features the usual claim that the 9/11 jihadis hijacked Islam, with the usual paucity of evidence given to back up that claim. But what is interesting about this...

More 'best shots of Israel'
Lara Elborno sent the following email and photos to the Israel Project as part of its "Best Shots of Israel" contest . Elborno is a Palestinian-American and currently a 2nd year Law Student in Chicago. Attached are four photos. I took this photo (right) in Kedumim Square, in the beautiful Israeli city of Jaffa in June 2010. It shows a hip Israeli S&M dungeon in a building that was erected over 300 years ago as a Mosque. The other photo I took in the beautiful illegal settlement of Ariel...
