RAMADAN RIOTS, RAPES AND ROBBERIES - THE LATEST FROM A SLEEPY SWEDISH HAMLET

The News From Gothenburg
by Baron Bodissey

Gothenburg - or Göteborg, as it is known to the Swedes - is an attractive city on the west coast of Sweden on the Kattegat. Up until the 1980s it was relatively ethnically homogeneous, inhabited mainly by “persons of Swedish background”. However, like so many other major Swedish cities, it now hosts a large immigrant population, mostly Muslims.
Earlier this month immigrant youths in Gothenburg staged “Ramadan riots“, a celebration of vandalism and violence which has become an annual ritual in some of the larger cities of Western Europe. The “youths” get to burn cars, break windows, and loot, and the European press, in full PC denial, gets to ignore them.
On a different topic, the October 25th edition of the Swedish newspaper GT posted an article about the unprecedented number of rapes reported in Gothenburg (for reader XY’s full translation of the article, go here):
- - - - - - - - - -
The number of reported rapes is higher than ever in Gothenburg. Right now there are so many cases that the police lack time to investigate them all — though at the same time more cases lead to prosecution.
“We are forced to set tough priorities,” says Christina Lycke-Alhbin, assistant manager of the investigation department.
Never before have the police in Gothenburg had this many ongoing rape investigations. They are now working with about 60 reports where the perpetrator is known. There are in addition a large number of cases with an unknown perpetrator.
“There is an increase, that’s easily observed,” says Christina Lycke-Alhbin.
Since the Swedish press is still fully PC, there is no mention of the religion or ethnicity of the rapists, and the collection of such statistics is in any case officially forbidden by the authorities. But, as Fjordman has frequently reported, there is plenty of evidence that immigrant youths are overwhelmingly responsible for the recent increase in the incidence of rape.
The GT article goes on to assert that the rape increase in Gothenburg “is caused by more people reporting assaults and because the law has changed to classify more crimes as rape.” This has become the standard line from the Swedish authorities when discussing the rape crisis. But, as Fjordman’s report on Sweden’s rape epidemic has shown, this argument doesn’t hold water:
The number of rape charges in Sweden has quadrupled in just above twenty years. Rape cases involving children under the age of 15 are six times as common today as they were a generation ago. Resident aliens from Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia dominate the group of rape suspects. Lawyer Ann Christine Hjelm, who has investigated violent crimes in one court, found that 85 per cent of the convicted rapists were born on foreign soil or by foreign parents.
The official explanation given by Swedish authorities to this increase is that much of it is a “technical” increase due to the fact that more victims of rape now report this crime to the police. There is not a hint of evidence for this explanation. On the contrary, intimidation of people reporting any kind of crime to the police has rapidly worsened in Sweden during the same time period.
When the “youths” of Gothenburg aren’t out rioting and raping, they’re probably down at the Bellevue Mosque listening to an incendiary sermon from one of the resident radical imams. According to this translation of an OSC Report from October 19th,
The Islamic Sunni Center in Gothenburg, which runs the Bellevue Mosque, has become a center for extremism in western Sweden , according to media reports. The Swedish terrorism suspect on trial in Sarajevo, Mirsad Bektasevic, attended the mosque, as did the recently arrested Abu Usama El-Swede , described by the press as Bektasevic’s “mentor”. Two extremist youth groups are also associated with the mosque. The spokesman for one of the groups and El-Swede are very active on the Internet.
One of the prominent hotheads at the Bellevue Mosque is a Swedish convert to Islam who has taken on the nom de guerre “Abu Usama El-Swede”:
Bellevue as Extremist Hub . . . The tabloid daily Aftonbladet reported that Bektasevic’s mentor at the mosque was a Swedish convert to Islam, known by his online name Abu Usama El-Swede, who was arrested by the Swedish and British police in May 2006. The British police reportedly asked the Swedes to apprehend him after they came across his name among the contacts of a British suspect in custody. Authorities believed that El-Swede was also connected with Abu Hamza in the UK. He was released after interrogation, but was told he remained a suspect under investigation (30 May 2006).
Born Ralf Wadman, El-Swede changed his name to Abdu Raouf when he converted to Islam during his first prison term in 1998, following a history of petty crime and involvement in neo-Nazi groups. After the release, he moved to Morocco, where he married his first wife. Upon returning to Sweden, he divorced and became involved in narcotics. In 2003 he was arrested while smuggling the African drug khat from Denmark to Sweden. Before he could serve his sentence, he was arrested again for threatening a policeman. During the second prison term, he reassumed his Swedish last name (Metro, 31 May 2006).
According to Aftonbladet, El-Swede is a prolific contributor to Muslim chatrooms, where he has urged readers to “destroy Islam’s enemies and put fear into the hearts of the scum.” He has also issued threats against a Swedish evangelist preacher who last year called Muhammad a “pedophile” The same paper reported that in 2004 El-Swede maintained contact with a well-known neo-Nazi via one of his websites, and that the two discussed “taking up arms” and “storming” the Swedish Prime Minister’s office (19 November 2006, 27 January 2006).
Fjordman reported last year that Abu Usama El-Swede and his associates have called for terrorist attacks on the police and Swedish authorities.
I went looking for Abu Usama El-Swede’s postings on English-language Islamic forums, and found that some of them are now nearly blank, with a note that they are “edited”. His remaining entries are innocuous: evidently Abu Usama El-Swede decided that it would be prudent to remove some of his more incendiary writings from publicly-available sources.
According to the OSC report, another firebrand at the Bellevue Mosque is Abu Malik:
Speakers Espousing Fundamentalist Views — A frequent speaker at the Bellevue Mosque and Tuff [an extremist youth group] meetings is Anas Khalifa, who is widely quoted as espousing Salafi views in the media, and is a frequent contributor to Muslim chatrooms in Sweden. Khalifa, who uses the name Abu Malik on the Internet, also runs several extremist websites.
Sydsvenska Dagbladet described Khalifa as a charismatic speaker who appeals to youth because he is young and speaks their language (“immigrant Swedish”). He was a petty criminal before turning to Islam. He also lectures for the fundamentalist Islamic Cultural Association in Malmö (9 February 2006).
Khalifa preaches segregation of the Muslim community, claiming Muslims “cannot be friends with Christians or Jews” and “must not mix with them” because then “you become like them” (Sydsvenska Dagbladet, 9 February 2006; Swedish Television, 25 April 2006).
It’s not clear from the report whether Abu Malik is another “person of Swedish background” who has converted to Islam.
Muslims like Abu Usama El-Swede are particularly attractive as recruits to Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups for infiltration into the United States. Have El-Swede shave off his beard and put on normal Western clothes, get him a fake passport with a Swedish name, and he could easily pass for any other Swedish tourist.
How many blond blue-eyed converts to Islam are there in Sweden? I have been unable to find any estimates of such statistics — perhaps some of our Scandinavian readers have information that they can leave in the comments…

US Infrastructure : Power grid maintenance trucks, $100,000 of equipment stolen in Arizona
Posted by admin on 2006/10/26 2:48:37 ( )

*26 October 2006: Three-(3) specially-outfitted and equipped power line maintenance trucks and more than $100,000 in tools were stolen from the Gila Substation Maintenance facility in Yuma county, Arizona sometime between 5:00 p.m. Friday, October 20 through 3:00 p.m. Saturday, October 21, 2006. The substation is owned by the U.S. Department of Energy's Western Area Power Administration, and the stolen equipment is specifically used to maintain the region’s high voltage power grid. One of the stolen vehicles, a white Ford F-550, was found in a remote desert area near the Colorado and Gila rivers, reportedly stripped of its equipment and burned over the weekend.
FBI spokesperson Deb McCarley publicly stressed that there is nothing to suggest that the theft has any nexus to terrorism or poses any risk to the nation’s infrastructure, and noted that “young people are known to ‘hang out’ in the area.” On Tuesday, the FBI and the Yuma County Sheriff’s office posted a $10,000 reward leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. Meanwhile, one law enforcement agent privately expressed concern about the motive for the theft.

A commissioned law enforcement source in Yuma County, interviewed yesterday by Northeast Intelligence Network director Doug Hagmann on the condition of keeping his name private, described the theft as “planned” and not one of opportunity. This is not a case where someone ‘hanging out in the area decide to take a truck for a joyride. I am inclined to believe that whoever did this knew what they were taking.” This source declined to provide any specific details of the theft, but added that it certainly did not appear to be a random case of vehicle theft. He also stated that patrols are being stepped up near electrical stations, substations and other “areas of concern.”
Missing:
* A bright red 2005 Chevy 3500, U.S. government license plate # G63-1300B.

I FEEL BAD NEWS A RISIN'


Radical Australian Cleric Al-Hilali's Sermon in the Context of a Growing Fringe of Home-Grown Militants
By Zachary Abuza


[Author’s note: I do not like to comment on issues/events outside of Southeast Asia, but I would like to post this brief piece on the comments of Sheikh Taj Din al-Hilali of Australia, that are getting significant attention in the international media. They must be seen in the context of a growing threat of home grown Islamist militancy Down Under, that has not been addressed to the degree it should have been on the Counterterrorism Blog.]


This week a Ramadan sermon by the controversial Supreme Muslim Cleric, Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali aired in the national media has created a furor across Australia. The comments, in which the sheik blames women for rape, are only the latest in a string of incidences by radical Muslims who refuse to integrate and abide by Australia’s liberal-democratic and multi-ethnic core values. While the radicals comprise only a small number of Australia’s 300,000 Muslims (who come from some 20 countries), their vociferous and intolerant discourse is disturbing. It also adds increasing light to the problem of home-grown Islamist militancy in Australia.

Last year, the firebrand imam, Abdul Nacer Benbrika, originally from Algeria but who eventually became an Australian citizen, went on national television and stated unequivocally that he could not tolerate any religion but Islam: "According to my religion, here, I don't accept all other religion except the religion of Islam… I am telling you that my religion doesn't tolerate other religion. It doesn't tolerate. The only one law which needs to spread, it can be here or anywhere else, has to be Islam."

Benbrika, who described Osama bin Laden as “great man,” also caused a stir by inciting Australian Muslims to go to Iraq and fight coalition – including Australian – troops; stating that it was a religious obligation for Muslims to do so.

Benbrika was arrested last November for being the ringleader of a terrorist plot. According to police officials from the State of Victoria, though the plot was in its "developmental stages,” Benbrika and his followers (two cells, one in Sydney, the other in Melbourne), were clearly inspired by the terrorist attacks in Madrid and London and were planning a major attack. In a telephone conversation intercepted by the police, Abdulla Merhi, said he "could wait months but not years" to carry out jihad. "You shouldn't kill just one, two or three," Mr Benbrika allegedly responded. "Do a big thing." "Like Madrid?" Mr Merhi allegedly inquired, to which Mr Benbrika was said to have replied: "That's it." He continued, "If you kill, we kill here 1000, because if you get large numbers here, the government will listen." Members of the Melbourne cell were allegedly filming the Australian Stock Exchange and Flinders Street Station, the main commuter rail terminus in Melbourne.

The group was self-financed. Members of the Melbourne cell each donated $100 a month while several others were involved petty crime, credit-card fraud and selling stolen mobile phones to finance the plot. The Sydney cell members had amassed a number of firearms and a small cache of chemicals needed to produce TATP, the explosive used in the London bombings, lab equipment, over 150 detonators, over 130 digital timers, and al-Qaeda literature and bomb-making manuals. Cell members attended simple training sessions in remote areas in 2005, and allegedly Benbrika was given a demonstration of the explosives. Two of the 17 people arrested in November 2005 and March 2006 had received explosives training in Afghanistan. Currently there are 13 people standing trial in this case.

While Australia has done a superb job at assisting the governments of Southeast Asia investigate and break up Jemaah Islamiyah, Australian officials are now bracing for a rise in home grown militancy. Australian security officials from both Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) have recently commented that there are roughly 12 terrorist cells with some 60 members that are being investigated. The threat of home-grown militancy has never been greater in Australia.

And for that reason, al-Hilali's sermon, published in today’s The Australian http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20653032-601,00.html, deserves another look because it is exclusionary, inciting and is a direct challenge to Australian tolerence:

"But when it comes to adultery, it's 90 per cent the women's responsibility. Why? Because a woman possesses the weapon of seduction. It is she who takes off her clothes, shortens them, flirts, puts on make-up and powder and takes to the streets, God protect us, dallying. It's she who shortens, raises and lowers. Then it's a look, then a smile, then a conversation, a greeting, then a conversation, then a date, then a meeting, then a crime, then Long Bay jail.
…
"But when it comes to this disaster, who started it? In his literature, scholar al-Rafihi says: 'If I came across a rape crime – kidnap and violation of honour – I would discipline the man and order that the woman be arrested and jailed for life.' Why would you do this, Rafihi? He says because if she had not left the meat uncovered, the cat wouldn't have snatched it."

"If you take a kilo of meat, and you don't put it in the fridge or in the pot or in the kitchen but you leave it on a plate in the backyard, and then you have a fight with the neighbour because his cats eat the meat, you're crazy. Isn't this true?

"If you take uncovered meat and put it on the street, on the pavement, in a garden, in a park or in the backyard, without a cover and the cats eat it, is it the fault of the cat or the uncovered meat? The uncovered meat is the problem.

"If the meat was covered, the cats wouldn't roam around it. If the meat is inside the fridge, they won't get it.

"If the meat was in the fridge and it (the cat) smelled it, it can bang its head as much as it wants, but it's no use.

"If the woman is in her boudoir, in her house and if she's wearing the veil and if she shows modesty, disasters don't happen.

"That's why he said she owns the weapon of seduction.
…
"The woman was behind Satan playing a role when she disobeyed God and went out all dolled up and unveiled and made of herself palatable food that rakes and perverts would race for. She was the reason behind this sin taking place.

Al-Hilali has been in the news before. He was nearly deported several times before gaining citizenship owing to his radical preaching and tirades. He called the 9/11 attacks "God's work against oppressors" and continues to astound people with his virulent anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial. These statements got him expelled from the Prime Minister's Muslim Advisory Board.

Another radical cleric, Sheikh Mohammed Omran, a spiritual leader of Ahl as-Sunnah wal Jama’ah, a Salafi organization, has led the media campaign denying Muslim links to either the London or Madrid bombings, as well as to the 9/11 attacks. "I don’t believe that even 11 September… I don’t believe that it was done by any Muslim at all… I dispute any evil action linked to bin Laden," he said on national TV. Instead, he explained, they were "inside job" of the United States. Omran has encouraged followers to wage jihad against the west, glorified suicide bombers, and encouraged Madrid and London-style attacks in Australia.

Public pressure, in particular from Australia's moderate Muslim community (I.E. The Islamic Council of New South Wales called his comments “un-Islamic, un-Australian and unacceptable”), forced al-Halali to apologize for his remarks, and he has agreed to a 2-3 month suspension from preaching though the Lakemba Mosque refused to dismiss him. Yet, he refused to resign until “After we clean the world of the White House first.”

Australia, which has troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq, and whose government is closely allied with the Bush Administration, will continue to be vilified by Islamic militants, named in Al Qaeda and JI statements, will also see a rise in home grown militants, inspired by radical clerics such as Benbrika, al-Hilali, and Omran.

Webb Says His Novels 'Inappropriate' for News Radio

By Nathan Burchfiel

CNSNews.com Staff WriterOctober 27, 2006

(Editor's note: Corrects quote in the 10th paragraph.)

In an interview on Washington Post Radio Friday morning, Jim Webb, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Virginia, said excerpts of his novels are "a little bit inappropriate" to be read on news radio.

Plotkin was reading an excerpt from Webb's novel "Something to Die For," in which Webb describes a female stripper performing sexual acts with a banana.

The books include some graphic sexual passages, as well as frequent uses of a racial slur for blacks and descriptions of Vietnamese women as "monkey-faced."

Among the excerpts is a scene from the 2002 novel "Lost Soldiers," in which a man embraces his four-year-old son and places the boy's penis in his mouth.

Webb said the release of the excerpts was "a Karl Rove campaign tactic" and a "classic example of the way this campaign has worked. It's smear after smear."

He defended his fiction as "illuminative."

"It's not a sexual act," Webb told Plotkin regarding the "Lost Soldiers" excerpt.

"I actually saw this happen in a slum in Bangkok

when I was there as a journalist."

Coincidentally, a Cambodian woman in Las Vegas is facing sexual assault charges for performing a similar act on her young son, according to an Oct. 14 report in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The article quotes an office manager for the Cambodian Association of America, who described the act as a sign of respect or love.

According to the report, the act is usually performed by a mother or caretaker on a child who is one year old or younger.

Webb criticized the Allen campaign for focusing on excerpts from his novels.

Law Firms Are Starting to Adopt Outsourcing
By JULIE CRESWELL

For years, outsourcing has been a dirty word inside the world of white-shoe law firms.
While certain law firms hired companies to handle travel or records storage, most drew the line at sending client billing or confidential documents out of their offices, let alone out of the country.
A number of large law firms, though, are starting to tiptoe onto far-flung shores.
The latest is Clifford Chance, one of the largest law firms in the world with 29 offices in 20 countries, which will announce plans today to consolidate and move big chunks of its administrative functions like accounting and technological support to an operation in Delhi, India, by next spring.
The shift to India could eventually result in up to $18 million a year in savings, the law firm estimates.
While corporate America has embraced sending clerical, customer and technical support functions overseas, law firms have been much more reluctant to do so. Their chief concern is that confidential client documents or information could be leaked, stolen or simply lost.
But in the race to offer large global corporate clients like I.B.M. or the Gap around-the-clock attention and legal advice, many law firms are opening up satellite offices all over the world.
While good for the clients, the costs of operating dozens of offices across the globe leave law firms aghast. Therefore, some are looking at ways to centralize many back-office functions but also to move them out of high-cost cities like New York and London and into either lower-cost regions of the United States or abroad to places like India.
“The fully loaded cost for a clerical person in a major metropolitan area can run $85,000 to $100,000 a year,” said Mark Santiago, chief executive of International CoSourcing Group, a management consultant for law firms. “If you multiply that by 70 or 100 people, you have a major cost center, and law firms are being put under great pressure from corporations to reduce their bills.”
Despite the attractive economics, a mere trickle of law firms have actually moved operations out of their headquarters or to overseas locations. Yet some are betting that law will be the next industry to shift parts of its operations to lower-cost regions of the world.
“We think legal is going to be our biggest market going forward,” said Liam Brown, the president and chief
executive of Integreon Managed Solutions, an outsourcing firm that is building the center that Clifford Chance will use in India.
About six years ago, a rival to Clifford Chance, Baker & McKenzie, opened an office in the Philippines to do word processing for offices in the Asia Pacific region. Today, that office, with Baker & McKenzie employees as its staff, creates spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations; monitors the firms’ entire computer network; and handles about 40 percent of the financial work for the Pacific region, including client billing.
“We have a lot of small offices, and they can’t have 24-hour word-processing support or somebody who is going to make them a high-quality Power Point presentation,” said Craig Courter, chief operating officer with Baker & McKenzie.
Clifford Chance is following a similar model with its move to India. It will be the anchor client for a 45,000-square-foot operation being built by Integreon. Integreon will manage the center, but Clifford Chance will oversee the employees.
Clifford hired Integreon about two years ago to handle some of its word-processing functions. This step will involve moving certain accounting activities, like accounts payable, and technical support functions to the Indian site, said Amanda Burton, the director of global business services for Clifford Chance. Ms. Burton said client billing would not be done in the overseas office, at least for now.
“Nothing is in the ‘do not touch’ basket,” Ms. Burton said. “We just have to make sure that what we do initially works.”
Many other law firms are taking a similar baby-step approach to sending work overseas.
About a year ago when White & Case, another law firm, considered hiring an outside company in India to handle word-processing activities, it wanted to make sure documents going over its computer network could not be intercepted or that individuals working in India could not print out the documents or take them home.
And while Richard McKenna, the chief administrative officer for White & Case, said he had been happy with the work the outside firm had done and that some marketing functions had now also been moved overseas, he had concerns about sending other documents too far from home.
“We do continue to look at outsourcing as a way to improve efficiencies and manage infrastructure costs, but it’s not a quick decision that we would make,” he said.

Back Door to Terror
Oliver North October 25, 2006Washington, D.C.

Since 9-11-01, Americans living along the U.S.-Mexican border have been warning that our porous frontier is a back door for terrorist entry into this country. Local, state and federal law enforcement officers, overwhelmed by the flow of human traffic across the border, have acknowledged the threat -- and been widely ignored by the mainstream media and “official” Washington. Last year, in little noticed congressional testimony, FBI director Robert Mueller, Jr. revealed that “individuals from countries with known al Qaeda connections have attempted to enter the United States illegally using alien smuggling rings and assuming Hispanic appearances.”
Now, thanks to the investigative reporting of FOX News correspondent William Lajeunesse, the monarchs of the media and the potentates on the Potomac can no longer ignore reality. Mr. Lajeunesse took the time to carefully digest a new staff report prepared by the House Committee on Homeland Security. It ought to be required reading for every reporter and official in Washington, D.C.
Titled, “A Line in the Sand -- Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border,” the just-released report confirms what many have long suspected: our border is a sieve, not a barrier, for radical Islamic terrorists transiting into the United States. The Investigations Subcommittee charges that from September 11, 2001, to the present, hundreds of illegal aliens from countries “such as Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Pakistan,…and Afghanistan” were apprehended crossing into the United States.

But that’s not all the bad news. Investigators also found:

* In June 2006, seven Iraqis were caught in Brownsville, TX;
* In August, an Afghani man was caught crossing the Rio Grande into Texas;
* FBI Director Mueller, Jr. has testified that a Hezbollah cell had been “dismantled” after discovering that the terror organization was smuggling operatives across the U.S. -Mexico border to carry out terror attacks inside the United States.
* Individuals from countries with known al Qaeda connections have changed their Islamic surnames and adopted false Hispanic identities in order to escape detection and blend into American society.
* Radical Islamic groups that support Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamiya Al Gamat are all active in Latin America.

All that is bad enough but the bombshell -- as reported by Mr. Lajeunesse and confirmed in the congressional report -- is the role being played by Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez.

Disneyland: The Most Racist Place On Earth???

"INTERNATIONAL BOYCOTT OF THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY AND ALL OF ITS AMUSEMENT PARKS, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND MEDIA OUTLETS"

The Mexica Movement, an Indigenous Rights Educational Organization, is calling for an immediate international boycott against The Walt Disney Company and all of its holdings. We are asking for this boycott because Disney has made a habit of hiring talkshow hosts who spread the Minutemen white supremacist racist agenda against the Mexican and Central American communities in the United States [Mexican and “Central American” descent people are in their vast majority an Indigenous people (Full-blood and Mixed-blood)].

let me remind us all that the motto of LaRaza is:

"FOR THOSE IN THE RACE, EVERYTHING.

FOR THOSE OUTSIDE THE RACE, NOTHING."

EXPOSING THE LATINO-CHICANO MOVEMENT:

I guess Viligarosa (current Mayor of Los Angeles, CA) is a true American, huh?

At the 1997 Southwest Voter Registration Education Project meeting, where Antonio Villaraigosa was present, his good friend Jose Angel Gutierrez said “we have an aging white America, they are dying, I love it!”
Villaraigosa’s close friend Mario Obledo, co-founder of MALDEF (Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund) and winner of the 1998 Presidential Medal of Freedom, awarded by President Clinton, said on the Tom Leykis talk show - 6/17/98:

“We’re going to take over all the political institutions of California, in five years, we’re going to be the majority population in this state.”

On the Ray Briem talk show - 6/17/98 Obledo said:

“California is going to be a Hispanic state and

anyone who doesn’t like it should leave”

Asked by Ray Briem if he thought that the statement was racist, Obledo said

“No, because that’s a reality. California is going to be inhabited mostly by Hispanics…"

saying further:

“Well, if they (Anglos) don’t like Mexicans they ought to leave. They ought to go back to Europe.”

Scores of Fugitive Aliens Captured in New Jersey

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers fanned out across New Jersey targeting dozens of known fugitive aliens in an intensive seven-day operation that resulted in the arrest of 111 fugitives and illegal aliens. Dozens of ICE officers participated in Return to Sender, a national operation that targets, locates and apprehends immigration fugitives.
Sixty-five of those arrested were targets of the operation that have outstanding warrants of removal. Another 46 individuals were apprehended because they are illegally in the United States. Of the 111 people arrested 34 have criminal records.

About 100 rally against illegal immigration

Greg Hodai felt like the luckiest man alive when his family

won the green card lottery 10 years ago.

It was their ticket to leave his post-communist Hungary and start life anew in the United States. He came to America legally, selling everything his family owned to afford the airplane tickets, and that’s why he attended a rally in downtown Fort Myers on Sunday against those who cross the border illegally.

“I am an immigrant, but I came the legal way,” said Hodai, 30. “I am now a U.S. citizen.”

I live in San Antonio, Texas.

My forefathers were among the original American settlers in Texas and there are historical markers available on line, that denote their presence and accomplishments. I have watched, with a heavy heart, as this part of the United States of America is being transformed into a Third World environment. The tourists see picturesque but, I can assure you that there is nothing picturesque about it for the Americans who live here.

I am a retired female who has watched my health benefits become so degraded that I cannot afford to become sick.

I can no longer safely go anywhere alone after dark. My car window was broken out in the middle of the afternoon, directly in front of my local pharmacy by a group of young Mexican males because they didn't like the way I looked at them as they were harassing me outside the pharmacy. After many home invasions, the police visited my condo complex and advised us not to open our doors to anyone we did not know, day or night. I have received several notices from management, not to enter the parking area after dark.

This neighborhood predominantly composed of retirees used to be safe! Now, we are considered prime targets for criminals and the Mexican gangs.

Many Americans everywhere are repeating these same comments. We have laws... We have borders.... Americans have the right to expect those laws to be enforced and those borders to be secured against Illegal foreign nationals streaming into our country unabated and without fear. Against our will, Americans are victimized and must subsidize the illegal aliens' healthcare, crime, education and the advent of diseases that were eradicated in this country when I was a child. American anger is building and there will be a reckoning at some point...of that you may be assured.

Immigration Is No Joke....

Don’t let the elites have the last laugh on November 7th

By John Fonte
In 2006 something extraordinary happened in immigration politics. As Al Gore might put it, the people defeated the powerful. The much-maligned Republican 109th Congress passed immigration-enforcement legislation to build a 700-mile fence along the U.S.-Mexican border, without including an amnesty for illegal immigrants. President Bush has declared he will sign the bill today. How did this happen?

One year ago elites had crafted a much different scenario....

Protests Erode the Rule of Law in Mexico's Oaxaca State

"Policeman Manuel Dominguez is tied to a lightpost after residents of a neighborhood accused him of trying to burgle a house in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico on, Tuesday Oct. 24, 2006. "We haven't had time to check what happened to him," local police director Aristeo Lopez said Wednesday. Authorities have been kicked out of the center of the town once popular with tourists, located 350 kilometers (220 miles) southeast of Mexico City. Police occupy only a few neighborhoods, and have lost control of the city as a whole. Protesters are demanding the resignation of Gov. Ulises Ruiz, whom they accuse of rigging the 2004 election to win office and of repressing dissent with violence."

By REBECA ROMERO
OAXACA, Mexico Oct 25, 2006 (AP)— With virtually no police in the streets, residents of this colonial town in rebellion are stepping in to fill the void often with brutal consequences.
People accused of being thieves are tied to light posts and beaten, one home was torched and a man was stabbed to death with an ice pick as five months of protests erode the rule of law in what was once a major Mexican tourist destination.

IMPORTING POVERTY - HERITAGE FOUNDATION

A BOOK OF CHARTS

In 1963, President Lyndon Johnson launched the War on Poverty with the goal of eliminating poverty in the United States. Since that time, the U.S. has spent over $11 trillion on anti-poverty programs, providing cash, food, housing, medical care, and services to the poor and near poor. Today, government provides a generous system of benefits and services to both the working and non-working poor. While government continues its massive efforts to reduce poverty, immigration policy in the U.S. has come to operate in the opposite direction, increasing rather than decreasing poverty.

European Defence Agency paints grim picture of future

The European Union will become older, poorer and increasingly vulnerable to wide-scale immigration from its neighbours, according to a new European Defence Agency report.
The agency also highlights the problems of increasing unemployment and desertification in its 32-page "long-term vision" for European defence needs which will be presented to EU defence ministers meeting in Finland on Tuesday.
The document, described by one diplomat as "pretty bleak", is the result of a year's work identifying the main trends for EU member nations and their defence needs.
The overall picture is of an aging, less prosperous Europe surrounded by regions -- Africa, Middle East, Russia -- "which may be struggling to cope with the consequences of globalisation".

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE INVASION
By Frosty Wooldridge

Denver Public Schools stagger under the crush of 30,000 illegal alien students with violence, drugs, one out of five teachers resigns every nine month teaching cycle, over a dozen foreign languages and a 67 percent drop out/flunk out rate. Tuberculosis pops up in Colorado with new cases in their schools. A similar scenario manifests across America depending on the number of illegal aliens in each state.
Violent crime rained down on Denver in October. One illegal alien dragged his girlfriend to death behind his car. Another illegal shot another illegal at a job site. Yet another illegal shot-gunned his girlfriend in the back because she wouldn’t reconcile with him! Still another illegal ran a stop sign a week ago. She crashed into a truck killing her three children. Last year, in Greeley, Colorado with 70,000 residents, they logged 571 hit and run accidents. That city houses the most illegal aliens in our state working at the meat packing plants.

If nothing changes substantially in the next few years, here are those projected numbers:
As of September 2004, there were 20 million illegals, plus their nine million kids here. (Seven million of those kids are "Instant-citizens.") These are Bear-Stearns numbers.
As of September 2005, there were 23 million illegals, plus their 11 million kids here. (Eight million of those kids are "Instant-citizens.")
As of September 2006, there were 27 million illegals, plus their 13 million kids here. (Nine million of those kids are "Instant-citizens.")
As of September 2007, there will be 32 million illegals, plus their 15 million kids here. (11 million of those kids are "Instant-citizens.")
As of September 2008, there will be 37 million illegals, plus their 17 million kids here. (12 million of those kids are "Instant-citizens.")
As of September 2009, there will be 44 million illegals, plus their 20 million kids here. (14 million of those kids are "Instant-citizens.")
As of September 2010, there will be 51 million illegals, plus their 23 million kids here. (17 million of those kids are "Instant-citizens.")

They claim illegals pay into Social Security but will never collect...That's bull too. They've been collecting everything else under at least one assumed identity, they'll get that too. PLUS if they just make barely more than minimum wage and have more than one identity, they have been paying little or NO taxes under one name and collecting free services and welfare, etc. under another...

They claim that illegals benefit the communities they inhabit...Then tell my why California, above all, is crumbling on every level instead of thriving?????????

Outrage as Muslim cleric likens women to 'uncovered meat'

A Muslim cleric's claim that women who do not wear the veil are like 'uncovered meat' who attract sexual predators sparked outrage around Australia yesterday.
Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, the nation's most senior Muslim cleric, compared immodestly-dressed women who do not wear the Islamic headdress with meat that is left uncovered in the street and is then eaten by cats.

Australian Muslim cleric apologises for remarks on women(AFP)26 October 2006
SYDNEY - Australia’s most senior Islamic cleric issued an apology on Thursday after triggering outrage for describing scantily-clad women without headscarves as “uncovered meat” inviting sexual attack.
The comments were condemned by other Muslim leaders and Prime Minister John Howard, while the government’s sex discrimination commissioner said he should be deported.

“I unreservedly apologise to any woman who is offended by my comments,” the cleric, Sheikh Taj Aldin al-Hilali said in a statement, after a backlash from politicians, community leaders and the Muslim community.

(C.Y.A.: Yes, he apologizes, but never believes it was wrong...)

“I had only intended to protect women’s honour, something lost in The Australian presentation of my talk,” he said.

(Ahh, yes... he did it for us, for our honor... and naturally, the concept of a woman's inherent honor is so foriegn to our Western culture that we failed to translate it...)

Awww... I guess he can't be all that bad. It's just my twisted infidel, paranoid, 21st century meaty female mind.

Sex Discrimination Commissioner Pru Goward said Al-Hilali, who carries the title Mufti of Australia, had a history of making such comments and should be thrown out of the country, where bikinis and miniskirts colour a sundrenched lifestyle.
“It is incitement to a crime. Young Muslim men who now rape women can cite this in court, can quote this man, their leader in court,” she told Australian television.

(I've got news for you, toots, they already do in Europe - uh, I mean Eurabia. And in Sweden some native females have taken to dying their blond hair black and brown... Don't believe me? Read it here: Norwegian Authorities Still Covering Up Muslim Rapes

LAWFUL ISLAMISM

The Threat of Lawful Islamism
Islamists ultimately seek hegemonic control via a worldwide caliphate that applies the Islamic law in full. Afghanistan under the Taliban offers one model of what they would establish globally.
Terrorism is one method to advance these projects but it is not the only one. Indeed, the activities of nonviolent Islamists arguably will prove a more effective tactic in the long term. For while the public intuitively understands the threat of terrorism and is mobilized by it, and while states have well-developed institutions (law enforcement, intelligence agencies, the military, the justice system) to protect and fight against it, the activities of nonviolent extremists are not alarming and institutions do not exist to deal with this problem. And how can terrorists impose their will on whole societies?
The Progress of Lawful Islamism
Quietly, lawfully, peacefully, Islamists do their work throughout the West to impose aspects of Islamic law, win special privileges for themselves, shut down criticism of Islam, create Muslim-only zones, and deprive women and non-Muslims of their full civil rights.

by Baron Bodissey

It’s not often that you see a piece of paperwork released by the Federal government that makes you say, “That was tax money well spent!” But Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Investigations, has managed it with his recent report, (in PDF format) “A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border” (for video interviews of Rep. McCall, go here and here).

Congressman McCaul represents Texas, so he has some up-close experience with the problems on our southern border. His report draws on the work of the border patrol, law enforcement, and domestic intelligence to paint a grim picture of the border crisis. You knew it was bad, but it’s worse than you think.

North American Union

One million Americans to lose their homes or businesses to foreign, privately owned companies

Point of View Commentary by Kerby Anderson

I want to talk to you about the establishment of a North American Union and the building of the NAFTA Superhighway.

These issues are going to be given a great deal more prominence in the news in the next few weeks. For example, there will be a press conference next week at the National Press Club. Attending will be such people as Howard Phillips, Jerome Corsi, Phyllis Schlafly, as well as members of the House of Representatives who have introduced a resolution (H. CON. RES. 487) calling for an investigation into the North American Union and the NAFTA Superhighway System. The sponsors of the bill are Virgil Goode, Jr. (R-VA), Walter Jones (R-NC), Tom Tancredo (R-CO), and Ron Paul (R-TX).Let me give you some background on these issues.

It all started with a meeting in Waco, TX on March 23, 2005 with President George Bush, Mexican President Vincente Fox, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin. At the end of the meeting they announced the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. Some people in the press reported it, but no one thought much of it until people began to read the details of the agreement.Essentially, the Security and Prosperity Partnership (or SPP as most people call it) created a new administrative infrastructure that could transfer these three countries into a North American Union similar to the European Union. And this was done without a treaty and without a vote in Congress...

Knowing the Enemy, Understanding the Enemy

Douglas Farah
One of the greatest weaknesses five years after 9-11 is the striking inability of the political leadership and body politic to define and reach a consensus on who the Islamist enemy is and what the enemy wants. There is a striking lack of intellectual curiosity, or perhaps fear because of concerns about political correctness, that have blocked a serious discussion of what bin Laden and al Qaeda really think, what their real targets and objectives are and how that group fits into the broader Islamist project of converting the world to an Islamic state ruled by sharia law...

... Hence we have the absurd ridiculing in Newsweek magazine of President Bush’s use of the word “caliphate” in discussing the Islamist project (and the even more absurd CAIR response that talking about the caliphate is anti-Islamic)....

... The caliphate, from its historical signficance to the dream of its recreation, is perhaps the best way to understand how the different currents of Islamist thought relate to each other...

... It is intellectual laziness, not a lack of information, that has led to the paucity of understanding of what the Islamist project it...

Islamic radicalization threat to our homeland

When Dr. Walid Phares speaks about terrorism threats, we listen.

On September 20, 2006, Dr. Walid PHARES delivered important testimony before the Subcommittee on Homeland Security at the US House of Representatives about the threat to the US homeland by Islamic terrorists. Dr. Phares outlined two very important points in his testimony:

1. The little ability of the public to identify threats since the Terror ideology hasn't officially been identified by the Government yet.

2. That Law Enforcement and Homeland Security cannot mobilize on a large scale to identify Jihadism because the latter has inserted itself under the political freedoms of the country. It is 'protected' by advocacy groups, legal defense and is funded both domestically and by foreign regimes and organizations.

Testimony Excerpt: "Your concerns about 'radicalization' as a threat to U.S. Homeland Security are warranted. For after twenty five years of studying the ideology and the evolution of the doctrines that produced the self-declared Jihadist movement (al haraka al Jihadiya) which has declared, waged and continues to conduct war against the United States and other democracies, I conclude along with a number of colleagues in this field of expertise that the Terrorism America and its allies are facing in the War on Terror, is a direct product of this radical ideology. The 19 men, who massacred 3,000 US and other citizens on September 11, belong to al Qaeda and the latter is a self declared Salafist-Jihadist organization. Every single case of Terrorism uncovered on U.S. territory, since 9/11, was motivated by this ideology. To name a few: The Virginia Paintball gang, the dirty bomb case, the shoe bomber case, al Qaeda's John Walker, Azzam al Amriki AKA Adam Gadahn, the Oregon case, the Virginia multiple cases, the Jihadi charities, etc. This ideology was omnipresent in the cases than ended with court sentences and those which didn't; in the Sheikh Abdel Rahman case of 1993; in the statements made by the Zarqawi networks while assassinating innocent civilians; in all speeches by Usama Bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahiri from 1998 till now; and on all Jihadi web sites in all languages: one global common thread is always omnipresent: The Jihadi ideology. And in parallel to al Qaeda’s radical doctrine another ideology of Jihadism follows the teachings of Ayatalollah Khomeini and is embodied by the public speeches of Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmedinijad and Hezbollah. Hence, the ideologies that produces 'Radicalization,' are the Jihadist ones. They are of two main 'trees,' the Jihadi Salafist and the Jihadi Khomeinist. These doctrines, taught and disseminated worldwide and in America, are the producers of the 'Jihadists' (al Jihadiyun) who have declared war and waged it against the United States both overseas and in the homeland. Jihadism is the ideological common identity of terror groups al Qaeda, Salafi Combat Group of the Maghreb, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Jemaa Islamiya of south Asia, the Taliban of Afghanistan, Laskar Taiba of Pakistan, the Mahakem Islamiya of Somalia, and other Salafi-Wahabi groups internationally, in addition to Hezbollah. Jihadism was the inspiration for the 1990s attacks, 9/11, Madrid, London, Beslan, Mumbai, Riyadh, Casablanca, the Sunni Triangle in Iraq and other violence associated with Terrorism. Hence at this stage of the War on Terror, the ideology behind the threat has been identified and thus should be addressed."

Georgetown gets $20 million from prince

promoting Islam, ejects Christian groups

John Esposito's "Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding" flourishes, while Christian groups lose recognition. An update to this story. "Georgetown gets $20 million from prince promoting Islam: Just months later, university ejects evangelical Christians from campus," by Bob Unruh for WorldNetDaily.com, with thanks to Truth Seeker:
The Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University has been renamed after Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal donated $20 million to its projects. And while that may be just the tail, the dog appears to be moving away from its historic Catholic and Jesuit teaching philosophy too.
The Center's leaders say it now will be used to put on workshops regarding Islam, fostering exchanges with the Muslim world, addressing U.S. policy towards the Muslim world, working on the relationship of Islam and Arab culture, addressing Muslim citizenship and civil liberties, and developing exchange programs for students from the Muslim world.
The "Christian" part of the center's projects at the university that has a history of 200 years of higher education following its Christian founding, is conspicuous by its absence in its website plans for its 10-year future.

And so it begins. The invasion of our hearts and minds.

She went to college for an education, not to major in dhimmitude:

I went to college thinking I was prepared to face a secular environment having been well grounded academically and well-schooled in various philosophical thoughts and ideologies. I was wrong...

...all students at Butler were required to take a course on Islam. We were required to purchase the Koran and handle it with respect. If we were carrying a stack of books the Koran had to be on top. One day, my professor even had us act out the five pillars of Islam in class. If you ask me, that's going too far. It'd be equivalent to having a required course on the Bible (which, like you said, would never happen) and partaking in communion or baptism during class...

This is a good example of how dhimmitude begins to be injected into our society insidiously...

The Truth About Muhammad: It could be anywhere
I received this email from Jihad Watch reader Paul:
Entering a local Borders outlet tonight, I noticed that front and center on the "New Non-Fiction" table was Karen Armstrong's "Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time." That set me to wondering whether "The Truth About Muhammad" was in stock. I looked in the Religion section and found Armstrong and Emerick's biographies, but not yours. Checking on the store's computer, I found it had been placed in the Middle Eastern History section -- well away from every other book on Muhammad. This was annoying enough to prompt me to take a copy up to the "New Non-Fiction" table and set it right by Armstrong's tome.
Earlier I received a report of another Borders where The Truth About Muhammad was classified in the "Christian fiction" section.
They can hide the book, but they can't hide the truth forever.

When you notice something like this going on in your area - AND YOU WILL - say something. Write a letter. Draw attention to it and what it really is... SUBMISSION.

This is absolutely ridiculous! They say gender "expression" is the deciding factor... how about a little gender reality? What's to stop a pervert from dressing in drag and excercising his right to his "gender expression" and using the ladies room? It's only a matter of time folks...

"Gender expression"? Puh-leeze.

What a crock of shit.

Transgender men free to use ladies room in NYC Transit System

The line for the girls' room just got longer.
Men who live as women can now legally use women's rest rooms in New York's transit system under an unprecedented deal revealed yesterday.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority agreed to allow riders to use MTA rest rooms "consistent with their gender expression," the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund announced yesterday.
The group filed a complaint against the MTA on behalf of a 70-year-old telephone repair technician who was arrested for using the women's room at Grand Central Terminal.
