The most powerful patron of radical Islam is not Iran, Iraq, or Saudi Arabia. It is the government headquartered in Washington, D.C., which for more than a half-century has diligently cultivated Islamic terrorism. Yet millions of Americans are suffering what amounts to a collective loss of bladder control over the purported threat embodied in the proposed Cordoba House — the Islamic equivalent of a YMCA — in New York City.
Allowing the “Ground Zero Mosque” to be built, insists Newt Gingrich, would be tantamount to “surrender” in a struggle against those implacably committed to our destruction. New York gubernatorial hopeful Carl Paladino, a New York crony capitalist who anointed himself a paladin of the Tea Party movement, has made opposition to the “Ground Zero Mosque” the central plank of his campaign. Paladino, who has profited handsomely from government’s redistribution of wealth, promises that if elected he will confiscate the property used for the Muslim Community Center through eminent domain and use the land to erect a war memorial.
Writing in National Review, former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy insists that Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf — the Kuwait-born U.S. citizen who leads the Cordoba Initiative — is pursuing a “stealth jihad” as a fellow-traveler of the Muslim Brotherhood. “The Ground Zero project is a test of America’s resolve to face down a civilizational jihad that that aims, in the words of its leaders, to destroy us from within,” maintains McCarthy.
According to Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association (AFA) the problem isn’t the proposal to build a Muslim cultural center two blocks from Ground Zero. Rather, it’s the fact that the government ruling us permits the existence of mosques anywhere in the United States.
Since “every single mosque is a potential terror training center or recruiting center for jihad,” Muslims “cannot claim First Amendment Protections,” maintains Fischer (who, in addition to supporting case-specific abolition of the First Amendment, has previously called for the abolition of the habeas corpus guarantee as well).
Rather than focusing exclusively on the so-called Ground Zero Mosque, the AFA and like-minded organizations have instigated a nation-wide campaign to protest construction of Muslim houses of worship in more than a half-dozen states. Like McCarthy, Fischer treats Imam Rauf as an asset of the Muslim Brotherhood, which (according to Fischer) is “at the heart and center… the soul of Islam in America.”

War on Terror almost over (Aaron Webb)
It’s being reported that “Al-Qaida’s number three” has been killed for the (well I’ve lost count) time. This must mean that the “war on terror” is drawing to an end. It is literally right around the corner. More likely it is now within our grasp. I think it is probably just within arms reach. So close now you can almost taste it. I especially like how this little bit is glossed over:
Once again they hate us for our freedoms.
