A Muslim Manifesto for America? It’s always hard to pinpoint when a historic shift takes place. It is rarely as easy as Martin Luther’s posting of his 95 thesis that launched the Reformation and loosed the grip of the Catholic Church on the governance of Europe or when Henry VIII pushed Rome out of England to create the Anglican Church. When, however, did the tiny Muslim community in America, estimated to be between two and three million—by contrast there are some six million Jews in America—begin to assert its takeover? I am going to mark it from October 19, 2006 when the Star-Ledger, New Jersey’s largest circulation daily, ran an article, "She’s got it covered: Designer seeks to dress the style-conscious Muslim woman" in its feature news section. "Many Muslim women wear hijab as an expression of the Islamic tradition of modesty," noted the article about a 27-year old American Muslim fashion designer. Born to a Jewish mother and a Catholic father, she had converted to Islam as a student at New York University after she married her husband, a Muslim.
Wrong about the Soviet Union right up to the day it imploded. Wrong about the predictions that the Earth could not sustain six billion people. Wrong about the availability of mineral and energy resources. Wrong about global warming. Wrong about cutting taxes. Wrong about the current excellent state of the U.S. economy. And now the surrender-addicts are ready, like our European cousins, to concede that Western civilization should just roll over and give up in the face of the worldwide Islamic jihad. Europeans stopped attending Europe’s churches and stopped having enough babies to replace themselves in favor of creating totally unsustainable welfare states. Instead, they imported millions of Muslims to do the work they became too old or too lazy to do themselves. The United States, too, has created a cradle-to-grave socialist system that is going broke at an alarming rate even while the economy is thriving. The Bush administration is conspiring with Canada and Mexico to erase our national borders in order to create a North American Union that will throw our national sovereignty down the rat-hole of a vast bureaucracy that will not have to be responsive to those awful American voters. As Mark Steyn says in his brilliant new book, America Alone, "We are living through a rare moment: the self-extinction of the civilization which, for good or ill, shaped the age we live in." The British, part of the European Union, should have paid heed in 1990 when "The Muslim Manifesto: A Strategy for Survival" was promulgated to create the Council of British Muslims to act as "a Muslim parliament" in a nation that gave us the Magna Carta, detailing the rules of property rights and individual freedoms. These days, the nations with the least amount of freedom are predominately Muslim. http://www.muslimparliament.org.uk/MuslimManifesto.pdf Britain’s Muslim Manifesto made it clear that "Political and cultural subservience goes against their grain" because "at its inception Islam created a political platform from which Muslims were to launch themselves on a global role as founders of great states, empires and a world civilization and culture." Why should an article in a leading U.S. newspaper mark the beginning of the end? According to the UK’s Muslim Manifesto, "The fact is that a Muslim woman cannot be a western woman." The problem for Muslims in Great Britain was that "There are laws on the British Statute Book that are in direct conflict with the laws of Allah." "We are Muslims first and last." "Jihad is a basic requirement of Islam and living in Britain or having British nationality by birth or naturalization does not absolve the Muslim from his or her duty to participate in jihad: this participation can be active service in armed struggle abroad and/or the provision of material and moral support to those engaged in such struggle anywhere in the world." "Islam is our guide in all situations." Ultimately this became clear to the non-Muslim citizens of England when on July 7, 2005, born-and-bred Muslim British citizens killed some of them in London’s subways and buses. This year in August it scared a lot of people to learn that British Muslims were planning to destroy ten commercial airliners and kill thousands of travelers. Assimilation, according to the Manifesto, wasn’t even an option. Why need it be? By the early 1990s, there were already about 1,000 mosques in Great Britain, many of them former Anglican churches that had been abandoned and sold to Muslims. As is the case of France today, the Manifesto recommended that "The Muslim community may have to define ‘no go’ areas where the exercise of ‘freedom of speech’ against Islam will not be tolerated." In the now famous words of Pogo, "We have met the enemy and they are us." If America, the lone superpower, does not hold out against the march of Islam, it will fall into the Dark Ages of Muslim control, a place where born-and-bred Americans like the fashion designer will determine what American women will wear and other Muslims will impose the Sharia law of Islam upon all of us. The next time you want to mock the "fundamentalist" Christians, famed for their patriotism, think again. The next time you shrug when you hear your local school system has banned the playing or singing of Christmas carols, think again. The next time you are inclined to say or think unkind things about American or Israeli Jews, think again. The next time your neighborhood, community or city yields to some new Islamic demand to conform to their "religious" rules, think again. The next time you read demands that something not be published or aired in America because it offends Muslim sensibilities, think again. The next time anyone tells you that Islam preaches tolerance or peace, think again. This is how nations and ultimately western civilization will slip-slide into a world no American would ever want for their children and grandchildren. Sending Animal Rights Terrorists to Jail! Those of us who have little sympathy for animal rights activists received some good news in September when a federal district court judge sentenced several members of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty USA to long terms in jail under the terms of the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. As a corporation, SHAC was fined a total of $1 million and, since it is essentially defunct, the convicted activists will share responsibility for payment of the fines and restitution. They were convicted of numerous counts to violate the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act with acts of harassment and intimidation directed against the employees of Huntingdon Life Sciences. This company is the largest contract animal testing laboratory in Britain and has a subsidiary in East Millstone, NJ. Showing the kind of sympathy and empathy that animal rights folks demonstrate toward humans, an unofficial spokeswoman for the defendants, Andrea Lindsay, was quoted by The New York Times as saying that it sad to see their colleagues go to jail "but at the end of the day, it’s six individuals, and there are hundreds, thousands of people campaigning against Huntingdon." Well, so what if six evil, little twits do hard time in jail when it’s really all about furry and feathered creatures, eh? The defendants felt differently about it. The primary member, Kevin Kjonaas (aka Jonas) told the judge "I’m utterly humbled. I came here with my mother. This has been a traumatic experience, a learning experience, and I don’t know what more I could say." Well, how about "I’m sorry" for starters, eh? None of his fellow criminals found the words to express any contrition and all planned to appeal their convictions. Along with Kjonaas who got hit with 72 months in the big house, there was Lauren Gazzola, sentenced to 52 months, and Jacob Conroy, sentenced to 48 months. Three others were sentenced a day later. The jury who listened to taped calls and watched videotaped protests heard and saw the real story. Huntingdon employees were subjected to vicious harassment. As the Star-Ledger [NJ] reported, the protests began five years ago and the animal rights activists "descended upon targets’ neighborhoods at dawn with bullhorns, spray paint and posters, visited their churches, and encouraged supporters to flood their phone and fax lines." Not surprisingly, Americans for Medical Progress, an advocacy group that keeps track of animal rights groups and individuals, issued a warning to research laboratories, fur farms, and comparable facilities to "remain vigilant. All too often in the past, individuals have chosen to ‘honor’ imprisoned activists with illegal actions that included vandalism, break-ins, and animal thefts carried out in the name of activism." This is not activism. This is brazen, arrogant criminality. Nobody is for animal cruelty, but advances in biomedical research have and will continue to save human lives and relieve human suffering. Like those in the environmental movement, the bottom line for so-called "animal rights" activists is that humans are the enemy. |

When the media begin to find ways to offer up a positive image of Islam, you know they have probably decided that the game is over and we in the West have lost. The American media is expert at showing the white flag of surrender. They have been trumpeting the end of the world for decades now.
