Islam in America: Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota

A great, big "Thank You" and tip'o'the hat to a very good friend of the Northeast Intelligence Network living in the great "North Star State" ( L'étoile du Nord) of Minnesota for alerting us to the following information. Folks, this is Islam in America. Pure, atypical, run-of-the-mill, plain as day Islam.

First, the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune reports that the Minnesota Department of Education is calling-out the Muslim Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TiZA), a public charter school, accusing it of "blurring the line between religion and state by promoting Islam." Of course the Muslims at Tarek ibn Ziyad, true to their al-taqiyya form, deny everything. Apparently the academy is in violation of Minnesota state law by allowing Friday Muslim prayers on school grounds. This is in addition to the daily 5-minute prayers in the school between Monday and Thursday. The Friday Islamic prayer session lasts for a half-hour and results in the students not meeting state requirements for total time under classroom instruction. The Star Tribune report also points out that "Letting teachers participate, even though they don't lead prayers, may give students the impression that the school endorses Islam." Du-uh, ya think? The prayers and the teachers' presence is probably a mandatory requirement per the local "rightly guided" Imam. I mean, really, is there any question that the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy doesn't endorse Islam?

Then there's issue the Minnesota Department of Education has with Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy's bus schedule. To quote the report:

"The school does not provide busing for students immediately after classes, instead it waits until the end of after-school activities, which include a religious studies course run by the Muslim American Society that more than half the students take."

Hmmm. According to school director Asad Zaman this is a "minor" concern. Another atypical example of Islamic al-taqiyya. What this Star Tribune report is all about is Islamic indoctrination of children in a PUBLICLY FUNDED school, a school which by law must be nonsectarian. It is irrelevant that 80 to 90 percent of the student body is Muslim. The 1991 initiative which created these schools in Minnesota was for the purpose of "independent public schools focused on improving academic achievement and creating new, different and innovative learning environments; teaching methodologies; assessments; accountability systems; and professional development opportunities for teachers."

And then there was the Inver Grove Heights police department response yesterday when school officials "scuffled" with a KSTP-TV (Channel 5) news and camera crew which had arrived on this school's public property unannounced, injuring the camerman in the process. Watch the KSTP-TV video of the Islamic (i.e. peaceful Muslim) school officials attacking the TV crew HERE. A still frame from the video is seen in the image up above.

How many of you good people in Minnesota are outraged? I'm just a guy in Jersey, but this kind of Islamic rubbish ticks me off deluxe.

Now that you've read the above, CLICK THIS LINK and watch for the next three minutes.

More on the faux "religion of peace."

UPDATE 22 MAY 08:

MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION INVESTIGATION FINDINGS (.pdf)

What's Really Behind Revolution.Muslimpad.Com?

19 MAY 2008: For the sake of FOX NEWS and all other American citizens... what's behind and underneath Revolution.Muslimpad.Com is pure, unadulterated, non-politically corrected Islam. In other words the real, true Islam that comes directly from the Qur'an and Ahadith is found on the servers which host Revolution.Muslimpad.Com.

More on this later as this is the most important aspect of this story - a story which FOX NEWS has so far not fully reported on to the American public about, so don't decide anything. Not yet.

For the perspective of Fox News and from the perspective WorldWideWeb this Islamic Revolution.Muslimpad.Com website is merely a tenant hosted on a server ThePlanet.Com Internet Services Inc. (TPCM), located at 315 Capitol, Suite 205, Houston, Texas, 77002, USA. That the alleged owner lives in Charlotte, North Carolina is virtually meaningless. There are hundreds of thousands, if not a million or more such Muslim individuals residing in small towns and large cities in every American state. What is meaningful is the fact that this and other core Islamic sites are hosted on American servers. Houston, Texas has one of the largest concentrations of such service providers to the Islamic community.

The parent websites reside on the same servers (NS1.THEPLANET.COM and NS2.THEPLANET.COM), and are known as habiba.islamicnetwork.com, a/k/a the www.islamicnetwork.com website, a/k/a IslamicNetwork, or IN for short, and whose logo is shown at the top of this NEINblog entry.

IslamicNetwork.Com is, as stated above with respect to the Revolution.Muslimpad.Com site, pure Islam. The kind of Islam the U.S, Government has deemed to be inoffensive, non-Jihadist non-Radical, and all kinds of other insane, politically correct nonsense. The kind of Islam that the U.S. Government, at their dhimmitudinal best, deems worthy of honoring as well as worthy of respect from all American citizens.

I challenge anyone to bring forward even one English language word, one phrase or one sentence from the Revolution.Islampad.Com or IslamicNetwork.Com websites which are not directly sourceable to the Islamic Qur'an or Ahadith. These websites are as much rank and file Islam as each normal day is 23 hours 59 minutes and 4.091 seconds and each orbit of the Earths moon around us is 27.3 days, and each lunar phase repeats at precisely 29.5 days. That's how precise these websites are to the Islamic cause and the "Allah" moon-god they serve, official U.S. Government recognition notwithstanding.

Oh, and by the way, all you Christians out there... have you seen one of the most recent entries (posted just yesterday) on the MuslimPad's "The Ignored Puzzle Pieces of Knowledge" blog? It is a bold-faced challenge to your faith in God and Jesus Christ, and is entitled "How can Christians accept the Bible when the various versions contradict itself?" Of course Islam will not allow you or I to properly address such a challenge. You will see if you click on the link the "Sorry comments are closed for this entry." No doubt comments are closed. When has Islam ever stood up toe-to-toe, face-to-face to any challenge to anything it had propagated in the past 1400 years? Except for the secular 20th Century Turkish followers of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, I don't think such a challenge has occurred in any meaningful way.

Newt Gingrich: Threats to America

16 MAY 08: In the current "Inside the Ring" column by Bill Gertz the lead-off segment focuses on a speech given yesterday (15 MAY) by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to the Business Executives for National Security.

In his speech Speaker Gingrich concurred with something I wrote as a comment the day before in the "Iranian Nuclear-Capable Cruise Missile Threat" entry of the NEINblog:

"It's not just the bleeding heart liberals who are sabotaging America from within. It is now the established policy of the whole of the United States Government to deny any link between Islam and Terrorism. Period. It's true, Republicans and Democrats alike hold dual responsibility for this absolute insanity. What's even worse... the apparent majority of U.S. citizens don't give a flip about it either. This is a combination of bald-faced negligence, willful ignorance and, quite probably, official malfeasance on a grand scale."

I quote Bill Gertz who quotes Speaker Gingrich (emphasis added):

"Threats to America

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich warned in a major speech yesterday that the United States is facing the danger of defeat today similar to Britain in the early days of World War II.

U.S. military, economic and intellectual power is eroding as threats are growing and both Republican and Democrat leaders are deficient, Mr. Gingrich said. The five "greatest strategic threats" to the country, he said, are China's rise, a resurgent autocratic Russia, radical Islam, rogue regimes seeking weapons of mass murder, and the growth of an anti-democratic system led by a "bureaucratic international elite."

The U.S. needs a grand strategy to confront and outmatch all five threats, but noted that "current American efforts are too small, too unimaginative, and too timid."

"Faced with these large, systemic challenges, the current generation of leaders in both parties are refusing to deal with the scale and the urgency required for continued American prosperity, safety, and freedom," Mr. Gingrich told the Business Executives for National Security.

Ideologically, "we find ourselves crippled by political correctness and incapable of having honest conversations about meeting the threats around the world," Mr. Gingrich said.

Recent guidelines by the Department of Homeland Security and National Counterterrorism Center instructing government officials not to use "Islamic terms" to describe terrorists is "enormously self-destructive," he said.

"If we cannot have an honest discussion about the nature of the threats against us, we cannot develop strategies to meet those threats," he said. "It is simply suicidal to treat the al Qaeda network as simply 'an illegitimate political organization, both terrorist and criminal' while ignoring the radical religious foundation underpinning this and other groups that constitute an Irreconcilable Wing of Islam. Anyone blind to this should be dismissed from working in national security.""

These articulate words from Speaker Gingrich reiterate explicitly what we at the Northeast Intelligence Network and this NEINblog have been saying about these things for quite a few years now. They are so enduring and consistent because they resonate with core American Conservative thought, which itself is wholly based upon indisputable real-world facts. We American Conservatives see things are they really are, not as we hope or wish them to be. We understand American vital interests, we know a threat when we detect one and we spell it out point blank, sans the political correctness nonsense so prevalent in electronic or print media.

America as we have known her is in very grave danger. From within and well as from the outside. As watchmen we can only sound the warnings as the danger approaches. All of us, all of you, have to recognize these warnings for what they are - deadly existential threats - and act upon them. Without such action it may be that our best efforts may well turn out to be for naught.

Usama bin Laden Confirms That “Allah” is not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

18 May 2008: For sake of argument, let’s accept for the moment that the audio recording posted today by the Islamist Al-Ikhlas (i.e. the pure, the refined) website really is the voice of Usama bin Laden. The message contained within the recording is 100% consistent with Islamic teaching, particularly with respect to the State of Israel and the unrestrained Sunni or Shi’a Islamic hatred thereof. This is a fact which makes the authenticity of the message tacitly acceptable as being from bin Laden.

Another benchmark fact to establish is that Judaism and Christianity both predate the establishment of Islam by 2,632 and 632 years respectively. Both Judaism and Christianity share the Old Testament as the “Word of God”. It is within the Old Testament that the first proof is found which puts the lie to the Islamic claim of “Allah” being the same as the God of Abraham.

In this message bin Laden rails against the State of Israel and its Jewish population. These Jews are the descendants of the Jews who received God’s Covenant for all the land promised to Abraham and his descendants Isaac and Jacob (Israel). Bin Laden rails on the morality of Western support for Israel. Western nations are at least nominally Christian nations, and we invoke the name of God on our money and in our institutions. We accept as fact the promise of God that He will bless those who bless the nation of Israel and curse those who curse the nation of Israel. (Genesis 12:2-3) So the West, and in particular, the United States of America, “blesses” Israel with our wholehearted support. Apparently Usama bin Laden is unable to wrap this concept under his too tightly wrapped Islamic turban. In fact, this blessing/cursing promise from God will be the bane and ultimate undoing of the Islamic religion.

Just a day ago President Bush referenced such Biblical truths in his speech before the Israeli Knesset. President Bush also made the comment that “Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.” While no negotiations with such evil are possible, the ingenious argument proving that Islam has been wrong all along exists with the Holy Bible, the Word of God.

Usama Bin Laden stated in his message, “Israel did not exist 60 years ago, and only came into existence on the stolen Palestinian land, by military force... This is clear proof of the truth of our claim that Palestine is our land and that Israelis... must be fought against.”

What Usama and all of Islam are ignorant of are the words of God through the prophet Ezekiel in chapters 36 and 37 of the Old Testament book which bears his name.

Ezekiel 36:17-28

"Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by their conduct and their actions. Their conduct was like a woman's monthly uncleanness in my sight. So I poured out my wrath on them because they had shed blood in the land and because they had defiled it with their idols. I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions. And wherever they went among the nations they profaned my holy name, for it was said of them, 'These are the LORD's people, and yet they had to leave his land.' I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone.

"Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes.

"'For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. You will live in the land I gave your forefathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God.”

Then Ezekiel describes the modern State of Israel in verses 33-36:

"'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins will be rebuilt. The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it. They will say, "This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited." Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the LORD have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the LORD have spoken, and I will do it.'”

The Lord began doing this, and 60 years ago, on May 14, 1948, Israel was reborn as a nation exactly per the Word of God and His Covenant with Israel. Ezekiel Chapter 37 goes on to describe modern Israel and the Israel that is soon to come in verses 25-28:

“’They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children's children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever. My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. Then the nations will know that I the LORD make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.'"

Make no mistake, the nations referenced above includes present day Islamic nations. It includes all the nations of this Earth, and when God says forever, He means forever.

Muslims of the world, submitters to the false god “Allah”: You have been deceived as have your forebears been deceived for the past 1,400 years. Bless Israel and be blessed by God. Curse Israel and be cursed by God. This is His Covenant. Fight the Will of God and be damned. The choice is yours.

Bin Laden: Palestinian issue behind al Qaeda's war with West [Updated]

by Douglas J. Hagmann, Director

UPDATE: 16 May 2008: As expected, an audiotape message was released overnight by as-Sahab, the media wing of al Qaeda. The message, nine minutes, 40 seconds (09:40) in length, was an audio track purported to be that of Osama bin Laden, accompanied by a stock photo of the terrorist imposed over an image of the al Aqsa mosque of Jerusalem.

The primary focus of the message appeared to be the "Palestinian cause," with the speaker calling the Palestinian situation the root cause fueling al Qaeda's war against the West and the 9/11 attacks in the U.S.

Excerpted:

To Western nations ... this speech is to understand the core reason of the war between our civilization and your civilizations. I mean the Palestinian cause."

"The Palestinian cause is the major issue for my (Islamic) nation. It was an important element in fueling me from the beginning and the 19 others with a great motive to fight for those subjected to injustice and the oppressed.”

"Sixty years ago, the Israeli state didn't exist. Instead, it was established on the land of Palestine raped by force. Israelis are occupying invaders whom we should fight."

The release of the message appeared to be expedited to insure that it coincided with the visit by President Bush to Israel.

As I noted during my appearance on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory last night, suspicion is mounting over the authenticity of the audio. Consistent with messages allegedly released by and featuring Osama bin Laden since late 2001, the latest message offered no "proof of life." We have seen or heard little proof that bin Laden is still alive, or issuing these audio messages himself.

15 May 2008: ABC News is currently reporting that a “radical jihadist website has announced that a new message from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is forthcoming.” Research performed by the Northeast Intelligence Network investigators indeed confirmed the announcement. We are monitoring various Internet “sites” for the appearance of the message, in which bin Laden will purportedly address Israel’s 60th birthday. Out of all of the audio and video messages allegedly released from bin Laden since 1998, this is one that should immediately garner the attention of our intelligence agencies and military.

Iranian Nuclear-Capable Cruise Missile Threat

I wrote the following article which was originally published on the NEIN website on March 19, 2005, entitled "Smoking Gun: Iran Already Nuclear Armed". Certain events over the past two years caused it to be lost from our archives. Now it's back with a vengeance and probably more relevant than it was then due to new intelligence on Iranian nuclear weapons programs and this specific Russian-designed KH-55 (X-55) cruise missile delivery system. In updates to be posted shortly I will detail how Iran has reversed engineered and upgraded the mission capabilites of the KH-55 'Granat' platform. This cruise missile was designed to carry a 200 kiloton nuclear warhead at least 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles).

Smoking Gun: Iran Already Nuclear Armed

By: Sean Osborne - March 19, 2005

A recent article featured on the Internet news site Debka stated "Iran currently has at least 12 Kh-55 strategic cruise missiles with 3,000km range capable of carrying 200 kiloton nuclear warheads." The article further stated: "Ukrainian prosecutor-General Piskun admitted in Kiev that this "missile technology" from former Soviet nuclear arsenal had "leaked" to Iran in 2001 - albeit without nuclear warheads. He could not explain how sales occurred. Six missiles also reached China."

Based on my research, this is only partially correct. The real story is that Iran purchased a total of six-(6) Kh-55 Granat nuclear-armed cruise missiles from an ethnic Iranian-Afghan arms merchant identified as Sarfraz Haider.

Conveniently, Sarfraz Haider was murdered in Cyprus last year, allegedly by Iranian-paid agents because he knew the truth about the full capability of the stolen Kh-55 cruise missiles. An autopsy revealed that his neck had been broken and his aorta split.

Details of the demise of arms dealer Sarfraz Haider are documented in story written by Lincoln Wright of the Australian Herald-Sun dated 20 February 2005. Sarfraz Haider lived Australia for some time.

Excerpted from the article:

Based on documents he had seen in Cyprus, Dr. Haider said he had "little doubt" the missiles were tipped with warheads. "What's the use of the missiles without them," Dr Haider said.

The missiles were sold through several companies, including one Cyprus-based company owned by Mr. Haider, S.H. Heritage Holding Ltd, and another Iranian firm, Satak Co Ltd.

The proverbial cat was let out of the bag by Hryhoriy Omelchenko, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament and who also just happens to be a reserve colonel in the Ukrainian State Secret Services bureau (SBU). He wrote an official letter to newly elected Ukrainian President Yushchenko asking him to pursue a full investigation of the illegal sale of six Kh-55 missiles to Iran, and six Kh-55 missiles to China.

Relevant facts on this matter are contained in an on the internet web site MISSILETHREAT.com, a project of the Claremont Institute, citing an article written by Roman Kupchinsky, an organized crime and terrorism analyst for RFE/RL Online and the editor of "RFE/RL Organized Crime and Terrorism Watch:."

Ukrainian lawmaker Hryhoriy Omelchenko recently wrote a letter to newly elected President Viktor Yushchenko claiming that the government of Yushchenko's predecessor, Leonid Kuchma, in collaboration with members of the military and the state arms company UkrSpetzExport sold some 20 air-launched Kh-55 and Kh-55M cruise missiles, which had the capability to carry nuclear weapons. Of these, six were sent to Iran and six to China, all between 1999 and 2001. The transfers, if true, would violate various non-proliferation agreements. Kuchma's government is also believed to have sold advanced radar systems to Iraq in 2002, despite UN sanctions to the contrary. An American embassy spokesman in Kiev was quoted by the Associated Press as saying that the United States was "aware of the reports" of such sales and took them "very seriously."

The Kh-55 cruise missile has a range of 3,000 kilometers, is capable of carrying a 200-kiloton nuclear warhead, and was developed for use on Russian Tupolev long-range bombers. In June 2004, Russia tested an air-launched cruise missile which may well have been the Kh-55.

Based on extensive research into this matter, it would appear that the Iranians could strike any target within a radius approximately equal to the distance between Tehran and Athens, Greece. This clearly puts all US CENTCOM and Israeli fixed-position, strategic military targets within the range of these weapons.

UPDATE 1 (.pdf)

UPDATE 2: Israel: Iran could have nukes by '09

EXCERPT:

Israel is also concerned that Teheran is developing a cruise missile that can evade interception by the Arrow, the IDF's anti-ballistic missile defense system. Iran is suspected of having smuggled Ukrainian X-55 cruise missiles and using them as models for an independent, domestic project. A cruise missile, which flies at low altitudes to dodge radar detection and interception, could be used to carry a nuclear warhead.
