Pandering to Islam

[colonelbuckrobely]

Once again *61 is at it. The Christian Defense Coalition is appalled and stunned that *61 asked for a Christian faith symbol to be covered during his Georgetown University speech.

I just wish Georgetown hadn't caved in.

Just like Nortre Dames Prez....Georgetowns will soon be on the way out the door as well.

Muslim Youth Camp of Iowa, near North Liberty, Iowa

This camp is going to be on some government land that had been previously leased to the Boy Scouts. The MYCI is going to pay $1/yr. rent and they are asking for government grants to build a big prayer tower. The camp is several miles north of North Liberty, Iowa, (very close to my mini farm!!!!) When Mike Gallagher and his Gallagher's Army came to protest this camp, my husband and I went to see what it was all about. The architect came to explain what it would be but no one from the Muslim side or the Corps of Army Engineers came even though they had been invited. At the end of this peaceful gathering, a lady in the audience who was an American (a recent convert to Islam and a known protestor of everything) stood up and complained that we are racists, anti-religion, etc. You should have seen the press zoom in on her!!!!!!! There had been no argument or name calling and everyone had been polite. The newspaper account made it sound like there was a big fight. Since the county was going to have to build roads with millions of tax payers' dollars, the people living next to the camp had come to see what it was going to do to them. They also wanted to know what kind of people would be in their neighborhood, how many, how much traffic, etc. The youth camp was going to be for youth from ages 18 to 24 from all over the world. Doesn't sound like youth to me!!! They also wanted to know if they would be hearing all that noise that is the call to prayer 5 times per day. I had been worried that I was close enough to hear that noise. When we left the meeting, there were a bunch of the usual purple haired, body pierced, tatooed protestors (save the kangaroo rat, save the sucker fish, etc.) outside with contracts for us to sign stating that we would be in favor of peace (in other words, let Muslims take over our country) I told them I was in favor of peace because I was a Christian and I didn't have to sign anything to make my statement.

The people in that county didn't seem to take an interest in this story except for the people who were next to the property in question. I have not heard a thing about this in five years so I don't know if the camp is finished and in operation or not. I could not understand why America doesn't seem to wake up. It will too late one of thesedays. The local men sponsoring this camp are known to be for the terrorists.

I did some research and this is what I found:

muslimyouthcamps.org/

Is their website.

In March 2006, MYCA is presented with a 25 year lease from the US Army Corps along 106 acres of beautiful and pristine land on the Coralville Reservoir.

MYCA is the first Muslim Organization in the United States to be granted Government land. This historic achievement is the beginning of the MYCA dream in developing a positive camping environment for Muslim Youth around the world.

I have to ask this...why? Would not the same separation of church and state garbage apply here as well?

Here is the Worldnetdaily article on it: www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33365



Here is the Army Corps of Engineers site with the mentionables:

www2.mvr.usace.army.mil/daybreak/Documents/Exhibit%20B,%20Site%20Plan.pdf

I would like to see if the adjacent land is available. I think surrounding it with hog farming operations would be ideal!!!!

At the moment I post this, there has not been contruction on this site as I checked for permits and variances and could not find any. There is still time to get this action killed, although approved by the Army Corps of Engineers, I will throw it at a few walls and see what sticks.

We do not need a terrorist training camp in Iowa...and I think this will bring a tinderbox to our area...that we do not need. I will do more research and get back to you on this. I will make contact with Mike Gallagher who is a popular talk radio host and see where this is going. He led the opposition to this camp from the beginning.

I forgot to mention that Mike Gallagher had an expert on Mulsim terrorism at the meeting. When we had a break, the press which was plentiful, all zoomed in on the home grown Muslim female and totally ignored the expert. I am trying to find out who that expert is and I just can not remember his name.

What I do not understand about Iowa is that most of the area is conservative in their life styles but those cities and university towns are just awful-- so far left you wouldn't think this is Iowa.

I cringe when I hear people want to get rid of the electoral college and just go with the popular vote. The same thing is true there too in that the big places just dominate the small, less populated states. The states are all so totally different in every way and the only way a small state would have much say about anything is if we can keep the electoral college.

My husband remembered the name of the expert. He is Craig Winn. He has written two books, "Tea for Terrorists" and "Prophet of Doom". He is the biggest expert on the Koran. I guess my husband is going to get both books and then I can honestly say we have the biggest library in town!

A couple of other experts Mike has on a regular basis...

Richard Miniter & Harvey Kushner

Top Obama aide invites head of terrorist-linked org to join administration task force

By Steven Emerson
Group's ‘mainstream’ Islamist convention last weekend featured hate speech and Hezbollah Defense


www.JewishWorldReview.com | A top aide to President Barack Obama provided a keynote address at last weekend's 46th Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) national convention, a gathering that attracted thousands of people and also featured anti-Semitic, homophobic rhetoric and defense of the terrorist group Hezbollah.

In her remarks, Senior Advisor for Public Engagement and International Affairs Valerie Jarrett noted she was the first White House official to address ISNA. She spoke in general terms about interfaith dialogue and cooperation. She praised her hosts for "the diversity of American organizations, and ideas that are represented and will be debated" at the convention.

And she openly invited ISNA President Ingrid Mattson to work on the White House Council on Women and Girls that Jarrett leads.

ISNA is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-support conspiracy and maintains significant leadership ties to its foundation 28 years ago by members of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. A more pointed statement by Jarret would have stood as a powerful retort to extremist sentiments offered in other segments of the conference.

While many panels at the convention featured criticism of U.S. policy and law enforcement, one stood out for its hate-filled rhetoric, and ISNA officials should have seen it coming a mile away. During a "meet the authors" session, Imam Warith Deen Umar, former head of the New York state prison chaplain program managed to:

* Argue that key Obama aides are "Israeli," proving Jews "have control of the world."
* Malign the motives of Jews active in the Civil Rights movement.
* Portray the Holocaust as punishment of Jews for being "serially disobedient to Allah."
* Insinuate that Hurricane Katrina was a result of tolerance for homosexuality.

Umar's radicalism is no secret. He previously hailed the 9/11 hijackers as martyrs who were secretly admired by Muslims. He has called for violent jihad. In a January 2004 speech, he urged people:

Not to mention...Ricky Warren was there: mndapa1 explains in his post at mndapa1.wordpress.com/

I looked up Rick Warren and I am not impressed. I do not think I will bother reading his book.
