Peter King hates Muslims

Creating Enmity With Words
No, this is not about the shootings in Tucson — at least, not in any direct sense. This is about Rep. Peter King (R-NY) accusing Muslim-Americans (all Muslim-Americans) of being uncooperative with anti-terrorism efforts, of being disloyal Americans and, in fact, of not being real Americans at all when it comes to defending the United States: Rep. Peter King (R-NY), the new chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, has promised to launch a series of investigations of Muslim Americans be...

Imam criticized for New York mosque embarks on speaking tour
Chicago (Reuters) - The New York imam whose proposed Muslim cultural center and Mosque near "Ground Zero" has stirred opposition is embarking on a U.S. speaking tour where he intends to correct misperceptions about his aims. "The sentiment around Muslims and Islam, about who we are and what we are about, is something that cannot wait and must be dealt with," Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf said. "We want to make it clear who we are and where we stand," he said. "We are part of this narrative for the wor...

Dean Obeidallah: The Palin Standard
Sarah Palin declared in her new video today: "Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own...They begin and end with the criminals who commit them..." Palin's above manifesto is clear: Only the individuals who commit a crime should be held responsible for their wrongs. She even goes on to denounce "collectively" holding others responsible for the conduct of criminals. Sarah -- If you are reading this, or having someone else read it to you -- I have a question, and I'm not trying to "Katie...

Tyranny, Congressman Peter King and the Tucson massacre Pt 1
Casper, Wyoming residents are much like their peers throughout the rural Rocky Mountains: people say what’s on their minds forthrightly, own guns, and hold dear their constitutional freedoms as American Citizens. Normally Casperites see the radical Left, other wise known as Social Progressives and other types of Socialists, calling for greater and greater restrictions on American liberties. The Framers of the US Constitution took the opposite view: the rights of the individual to pursue &#...

Tyranny, Congressman Peter King and the Tucson massacre Pt 3
Casper, Wyoming citizens have learned that US Representative Peter King is not alone in his anti-constitutional desire to pass worthless bills that would instantly make law abiding American Citizens criminals without their even knowing it. King’s fellow US Representative, Bob Brady of Pennsylvania’s 1st District, has proposed a law just as delusional, Unconstitutional, and one might even say totalitarian in nature, as King. Brady has proposed that any Speech, any symbol, or any refer...

Tyranny, Congressman Peter King and the Tucson massacre Pt 2
Casper, Wyoming citizens know the American concept of being considered Innocent Until Proven Guilty in a court of law, is closely tied with the core constitutional concepts of Freedom of Speech, right to keep and Bear Arms, and to be secure in one’s person and possessions, and thus also a prime aspect of what it means to be American. Sadly, professional politicians who have for the most part become power elitists through making a career of politics, which was never a design of the Fr...

Rep. Peter King Says Muslims Arent American When It Comes To War
Rep. Peter King (R-NY), the new chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, has promised to launch a series of investigations of Muslim Americans beginning in February. “I’ve made it clear that I’ll focus the committee on Counterterrorism and hold hearings on a wide range of issues, including Radicalization of the American Muslim community and homegrown Terrorism,” he told Newsday. King has repeatedly said that he only wants to single out “Islamic Terrorism”...

Radical Muslims in America
Recent remarks by Attorney General Eric Holder on the threat posed by "radicalized" American Muslims are revealing—not just because of what they say regarding the domestic situation, but for their international implications as well. According to Holder: "[T]he threat is real, the threat is different, the threat is constant. The threat has changed … to worrying about people in the United States, American Citizens—raised here, born here, and who for whatever reason, have decided that they a

Christians in the Middle East: Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt
Thurs. 13 Jan. 2011 @ 16.45  - Whilst much of the media’s attention on the conditions of Christians in the Middle East has focused on Egypt and Iraq, following the dramatic attacks there, recent articles have highlighted other countries where the religious minority faces persecution. Today’s article in The Times is the first mention in the UK media of the recent arrests of Christians in Iran. ‘They slapped me and asked about Christian churches in Tehran’, by ...

Azeem Ibrahim: Katie Couric's Idea of a "Muslim Cosby Show" Might Not Be So Crazy After All
Katie Couric's recent comments recommending a "Muslim Cosby show" to combat anti-Muslim Bigotry has been decried by some as a naïve, simplistic remedy for the festering sore of Islamophobia in America. However, research and common sense in fact suggest that authentic and accessible American Muslim narratives can emerge as popular, effective tools of cultural Diplomacy in helping bridge the divides between Muslim Communities and the U.S. As an expert on cultural Diplomacy and one of founding m...

Hindu holy man accused of blasts
An Indian court has remanded in custody a Hindu holy man accused of a string of Bomb Attacks previously thought to be the work of Muslim Militants. Swami Aseemanand allegedly admitted to placing bombs on a train to Pakistan, at a Sufi shrine and at a Mosque. He has also allegedly confessed to carrying out two assaults on the southern Indian town of Malegaon, which has a large Muslim population. He has been remanded in custody for the four attacks until 27 January. Police say that Swami Aseemana...

The Last Crusade: Islam ECLIPSES THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND Muslim CONQUEST OF BRITAIN NEARS COMPLETION by Paul L. Williams, Ph.D. A study by of the Centre for Migration Policy Research at Swansea University shows that thousands of Britons are converting to Islam every year - with more women becoming Muslims than men. The research suggests that the numbers converting to the religion has doubled by 2010 from the 60,669 converts in 2001. The average age of the Muslim converts is 27.5, with 520,...

Turkey and Armenia: Two vast and ugly blocks of stone
STATUES in Kars are not safe when Recep Tayyip Erdogan is around. When Turkey’s Prime Minister visited the city last year, the local mayor, who belongs to Mr Erdogan’s mildly Islamist Justice and Development (AK) party, sought to avoid his ire by ordering the removal of a public fountain featuring bare-breasted nymphs. Last week, during another trip to Kars, which lies about 45km west of the border with Armenia, Mr Erdogan called for the demolition of a local monument designed to pro...

The difficult struggle of Christians in the Orient
Just moments after the new year began, a bomb outside a church in Alexandria killed 21 Coptic Christians. A week later, a Pakistani Governor was murdered for standing by a Christian convict. The two cases dramatically illustrate the worsening plight of Christians in the Orient . Khalil Hamada Street is 20 meters (66 feet) wide. On one side stands the Coptic “Church of the Two Saints”; on the other side is a Mosque. The church was built first, but the mosque followed just a few years ...

Iraqi religious heads call for Christians' protection
Baghdad | Thu Jan 13, 2011 12:30pm EST Baghdad (Reuters) - Iraq's Muslim and Christian Religious Leaders on Thursday called for a united front in protecting Christians following a spate of attacks against them. Thousands of Christians have fled the capital Baghdad after an assault on a Syrian Catholic cathedral in October in which 52 people were killed, and a series of Bomb Attacks on the homes of Christians in December which killed two people and wounded 16. At Thursday's meeting, Ahmed Abdu...

Katie Couric Thinks Muslim Cosby Show will Change Cultural Attitudes
How will we create a positive perception of the Muslim faith among a majority of Americans? Katie Couric, the CBS Nightly News anchor, believes that television Sitcoms may be the conduit for such an effort.  From my vantage point, this just might be a great idea, and given the variety of recycled trash on television today, there should be no problem working in a Muslim-based sitcom.  That being said,  thorns may be pricking anyone who tries to wrap their head around Couric’s...

Lawsuit Filed Seeking Injunction to Halt Ground Zero Mosque
NEW YORK - A conservative legal group asked the New York Supreme Court on Tuesday to halt construction of the Islamic Cultural Center near Ground Zero. The American Center for Law and Justice, which represents 9/11 First Responder Firefighter Tim Brown in a Lawsuit against the Park51 project, is seeking an injunction in any demolition and construction at the Downtown Manhattan site. The group alleges that Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his office overstepped their legal boundaries in assisti...

Lawsuit filed against Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero
"There is a disturbing pattern of stonewalling by the City and Mayor's Office in providing information about what's clearly been a politically tainted process from day one." Yes, indeed. "Legal Group Seeks Injunction to Halt Mosque Near Ground Zero," by Lawrence D. Jones for the Christian Post, January 12 (thanks to Pamela Geller): NEW YORK - A conservative legal group asked the New York Supreme Court on Tuesday to halt construction of the Islamic Cultural Center near ground zero.

FINALLY, UndieBomber Gives Us Accurate Definition of Moderate Muslim
Islamic Terrorist Underwear Bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and Anthony Chambers, the lawyer now assisting Abdulmutallab in his legal defense, have an absurd new defense to trying to blow up a plane full of people .  It’s hidden in a motion to get Abdulmutallab’s former lawyer, the execrable Miriam Siefer , to turn over his complete file to him.  Check out the statement in item #6  in the latest court filing by Abdulmutallab & Chambers . And therein, I think we...

British imam raped boy many times in mosque over three-month period
The charges against this British imam also highlight the very devious tactic in which this imam operated in order to, “allegedly,” Rape the 12-year-old boy numerous times. Abusing his power and influence as imam of a Mosque on Stoke on Trent, Khan would separate the boy from the congregation of his little Mosque and order the child to complete his prayers (to Allah, I’m betting) in a separate area. You know, away from prying eyes and all else that is considered inconvenient whe...

North African threats trouble London
LONDON, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- British nationals are advised to avoid traveling in parts of Mauritania, Mali and Niger because of a high risk of Terrorism and Kidnappings, an official said. Jeremy Browne, the British minister responsible for consular affairs, warned that the activity of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, al-Qaida's North African affiliate, and the threat of kidnapping were endangering the lives of British nationals. "We currently advise against all travel to parts of Mauritania, Mali an...

Boehner Shuts Down Peter King Gun Control Legislation
I guess Rachel Maddow called me out, among other people, a bit for displaying a bit of cynicism over the possibility of Gun Control Legislation getting through Congress. I’m all for rallying the Troops with a “we can do it” Speech, but when I wrote that, I was thinking of this. The Speaker of the House, who sets the schedule, just does not support new Gun Control legislation, it seems. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is rejecting gun-control Legislation offered by the chairman ...

Peter King Unlikely to Get His Gun-Free Bubbles
Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images Republican congressman Peter King's proposed Legislation creating 1,000-foot no-gun zones around congressmen and other high-ranking federal officials doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Speaker John Boehner is flatly against it, and gun-control advocates don't expect any gun-control Legislation to be able to get through this Congress, much less one that, despite King's good intentions, would seemingly be impossible to implement. [Hill] ...

Rep. Peter King To Propose Law Making It A Crime To Come Within 1000 Feet Of Federal Officials With A Gun
As Democratic and Republican members rush to line up with new bills to restrict Speech or guns after the Tucson massacre, Rep. Peter King once again will not be outdone in criminalizing conduct. He is reportedly planning to introduce a bill that would make it illegal to knowingly carry a gun within 1,000 feet of the President, Vice President, Members of Congress or judges of the Federal Judiciary. This, of course, raises the problem with politicians being mobile. In states allowing concealed wea...

Rep. Peter King would surround himself with 72-acre Constitution-free zone
As Los Angeles Gun Rights Examiner John Longenecker has already discussed, Congressman Peter King (R-NY) has come up with a . . . novel approach to protecting, well . . . . himself, from the kind of sick, deranged lunatic who shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and so many others in Tucson Saturday.  According to Politico, he wants to forbid Firearms carried by Private Citizens within 1,000 feet of himself and other "important figures" (who would include Congressmen Russ Carnahan and Will...
