Keith Ellison,CAIR and Hamas

Hamas’ 54 Democratic Congressmen

Keith Ellison, widely hailed as America’s first Muslim congressman, could more accurately be described as CAIR and Hamas’ man in Congress. Congressman Ellison has been a regular presence at CAIR fundraisers and at pro-Hamas rallies in the United States. As a former member of Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam, Ellison has enough anti-semitic and Islamist credentials to satisfy anyone, and had expressed openly anti-semitic beliefs in the past.

Since Ellison got his start with CAIR , his attempt to provide support for Hamas is completely unsurprising. Both Hamas and CAIR are projects of the Muslim Brotherhood, which also helped birth Al Queda. Organizations like CAIR do the same work in America that Hamas does in Israel. The difference is that CAIR does its work on a political level, while Hamas functions on both a political and a military level. Like CAIR, Ellison is careful to cloak his pro-Hamas agenda, which he does by mentioning that all violence is wrong and that Israelis probably shouldn’t be shelled– but the thrust of his agenda is to force Israel to open its border with Hamas.
The entire “Free Gaza” movement is a Hamas propaganda project that allows it to demand that Israel open its borders, without actually using the P word, for peace, since Hamas doesn’t even believe in phony peace negotiations. So Pro-Hamas activists, whether it’s former Saddam supporter, George Galloway’s Viva Palestina or their American flavors talk only about “The People of Gaza”, deemphasize Hamas and emphasize the supposed “suffering” within Gaza.
But the call for Israel to open its borders is nothing more than a way of making it easier for terrorists to strike. Ellison’s letter buries its real agenda in paragraphs of prose about how everyone will be better off, except somehow Hamas, if Israel complies with their demand… that Israel ease the movement of people in and out of Gaza. This of course is a fancy way of saying, “Let my Suicide Bombers go”.
None of this is up till now is shocking. But what Congressman Keith Ellison accomplished was to convince 53 other Democratic congressmen to join him in this venture. It is not particularly surprising to find the House’s most radical anti-Israel voices signing their names onto Ellison’s letter. It would be inconceivable if a letter aiding Hamas did not carry the signatures of Barbara Lee, Jim Moran or Jim McDermott, who helped Ellison spearhead the whole campaign. It is essentially inconceivable that any letter circulated in congress opposing Israel would not get their signature.

Rifqa Bary Update :December 21,2009

In Rifqa Bary-conversion/apostacy on December 22, 2009 at 12:46 am

From Pamela Geller – http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/ Pamela -

The unceasing acts of attrition in the Rifqa Bary case go on and on, one after another. It would be comical if it weren’t so dangerous. The Islamic machine is attempting to wear her down, grind her down by this constant friction and mental abuse. The persecution is so obvious and so mundane that no one seems to take notice. The banality of evil.

Why is American jurisprudence crumbling before our very eyes? Modernity bowing to Islam, and it is systemic, nationwide. Rifqa was betrayed in Florida just as she is being betrayed in Ohio. Her hapless legal counsel in Florida was almost slapstick in their ineptitude. Ohio counsel is proving to be more of the same, if not worse.

Wasn’t a Muslim psychiatrist assigned to Rifqa in Florida? How cruel and inhuman. That should never have happened. And now the Barys’ CAIR appointed lawyer is asking the court to hold her in contempt to force her to attend counseling sessions with a Muslim counselor.

There is no counsel in Islam, just absolutes. Leave this girl alone. The latest warning is that Brian Williams, a missionary and the Pastor in Ohio who baptized Rifqa, may very well be arrested. He was, at one time, a big brother to her (unlike the hooligan Rilvan). Brian Williams may very well be arrested. And he has been so warned.

If you missed my interview with Brian Williams back in early September – go here for audio. The Barys, in league with the Islamic machine, will prosecute the pious, straight A honor student with their fallacious charge of “unruliness”. Further, they will prosecute any friend of Rifqa’s who helped her. Why? Because she converted out of Islam.

Why is the US government coming down decidedly in favor or Islamic (sharia) law? Justice is blind except in the case of Islam. Then it is bowed. Is that where this leftist Islamic cabal has taken America? How many runaway girls are selling their bodies on the street in full view of law enforcement and yet go unmolested (pardon the pun), unafraid that they will be rounded up, arrested and sent back to their parents?

Look at how CAIR (front for the Muslim Brotherhood in America) is marshaling all of our legal safeguards and laws to stifle this lone voice, to suffocate Rifqa. Where are decent elected officials? Why aren’t are the Feds protecting Rifqa’s civil rights? Instead, the federal government spends millions on corrupt, racketeering organizations like ACORN that aid and abet child traffickers, child prostitutes and sex rings (and continues to fund them even after they’ve been busted). But they get tough with Rifqa’s Christianity.

Think about it. Why is Rifqa so special, so deserving of this manhunt? Because she converted out of Islam. Anyone who helped this girl is being threatened with prosecution. The pastor who took Rifqa in and provided her shelter is constantly being threatened by CAIR appointed attorneys with some drummed up charge. Why? Clearly to discourage anyone from helping apostates escape Islam.

Across the world, free men and women are going on trial for our unalienable human rights. From obscure trials like Christian convert Nishan in Ohio  to Geert Wilders, world’s leading statesman ion trial for hate speech, these are our proxies, fighting our fight, for our civilization.

THE BRIAN WILLIAMS INTERVIEW WITH PAMELA GELLER TRANSCRIPT

Atlas: Can you tell me a little bit about her home life, what she was living with, during those four years she was a Christian? What was she dealing with at home?
BW: From the moment I met her, she shared her story about that at home, she had to hide the fact that she was a Christian from her parents. And she would have to sneak out and go to church services on the weekend, when most kids are sneaking off to party, you know, she was sneaking to go out to prayer meetings and church services as a kid. But she was telling me stories of how her father had found little evidences of traces of biblical writings or things around the house, and that each time he would find those things he would get progressively more upset with her, and at times he would tighten up on her, you know like send her to the mosque and make her attend these classes on the weekend, I think she told me that these class last four or five hours on Saturday.
She told me about an instance where I think he found a Bible or some kind of Christian book, picked up a laptop, cornered her, and was about to hit her with the laptop and told her that he would kill her, if she was a Christian. She told me about sexual abuse that happened, and I kept these things under a tight lip just because I don’t think that anyone wanted to wrestle with it, and I just think that in America that so many people are in denial that this is happens all over the world. When you approach people about it and kind of how you see it in the media, people just don’t want to believe it, but it’s true, it happened, people really died, blood really gets spilled.
And she was constantly in fear of that, and I think that the whole time that I’ve known her, is really why the reason I’ve kept in contact with her, because she would email me and just from her stories about the things her father and mother would say to her, that had her terrified. So I just kind of tried to be there for her.
Atlas: You see the reason why I’m asking these questions, I know that it’s painful, I know that it’s a painful subject, I know that it’s difficult, but frankly, no one is discussing Rifqa. No one is discussing Rifqa’s story, no one is discussing the real fears that Rifqa has and the real threats that she faces. And I’m sure Brian that you see that this is being played out in the media to a very hostile press. A press that in Florida particularly, because they’re the ones covering it, painting her out to be some kind of trollop with the dark red fingernail polish and the hand blown kisses.
I was in the front row and she wasn’t blowing any kisses, she was actually weeping but that’s something else. But I must saying that the people that are not there like me or like you, where we know what’s happening. They’re getting this tripe, they’re getting this propaganda from the media, and so it’s very important, while it may not be very comfortable for you to talk about the threats she faced, what abuse she suffered. I have to tell you that it is incumbent upon you to tell her story. Because she can’t. You know she can’t because it’s the DCF that controlling everyone that talks to her now, the Lorenzes have been restricted. And I see the new lawyer is really trying to isolate her from everyone that she trusts, She was crying when they said that the Lorenzes were restricted. They are trying to get John Stemberger removed as her lawyer, all the people that she relies on, all the people that she trusts.
[...]
Let me ask you, Is that not what it’s about, it not about apostasy in Islam and what a egregious thing, what an egregious crime it is, a shame it is on the family, and in this particular case, unlike Amina Said, Aqsa Parvez and the other girls in the West that have been murdered, this is a crime against Islam?
BW: Yeah and you know that Rifqa comes from a family that has a strong Muslim heritage, I believe she told me at one point that her father, ah not her father but her grandfather was an Imam and that she was the first Christian in the history of her family that’s known and that any anyone in her relations have been a Christian, so for her the issue of apostasy is incredibly shameful to her this family, and they tried to turn this issue into being what kind of Muslims live in Sri Lanka and that her family are liberal Muslims and that’s totally not the case at all.
Her grandfather was an Imam, so think that this is something that people need to pay attention to as far as apostasy is concerned. This is happening all over the world, it’s spread through Europe, this situation in the UK has escalated to epic proportions and now you’re seeing things starting to infiltrate over here in the United states. So I think that it is something that America needs to wake up.

Rifqa Bary Update,December 19,2009

In Rifqa Bary-conversion/apostacy on December 19, 2009 at 1:27 pm

Rifqa Bary’s parents ask that she be held in contempt of court to force her to see Muslim counselor

What sweet, loving parents they obviously are. How wonderfully they will treat her if the dhimmi Ohio authorities order her to be returned home.

“Parents of Rifqa Bary ask court to hold her in contempt to force her to attend counseling sessions with Muslim counselor,” from The Jawa Report, December 18 (thanks to Pamela, who has more here):

…and the counselor they demand she attend filed an affidavit in support of Rifqa being held in contempt!

The next episode in the legal battle between Muslim-turned-Christian convert Rifqa Bary and her allegedly abusive parents will occur next Tuesday in an Ohio courtroom. As I reported last Friday, one of the issues that will be heard by the court is a motion by the CAIR-appointed attorney to the Bary parents demanding that all Christmas cards sent to Rifqa be banned, and any cards she has already received be seized. On Monday, we provided clear evidence of CAIR’s backstage handling of the media in this case.

Another issue next week will be another motion filed by the Bary parents asking the court to hold Rifqa in contempt for refusing to attend counseling sessions with a Muslim counselor. Amazingly, the counselor that the Bary parents are attempting to force her to see filed a affidavit supporting the parents’ motion to hold Rifqa in contempt of court. How could this counselor be remotely neutral?

Another over the top move by the CAIR influenced parents.My suggestion would be to bring in a Christian counselor to help them understand where Rifqa is coming from.Their contempt for Rifqa’s decision to become  a Christian is the problem.

Update from Reality Check on the Rifqa Bary case – http://thetruthmechanic.com/

Pamela Geller started a campaign to send Rifqa Bary Christmas cards and a note of encouragement,and evidently it has aroused the enemy. Evil takes many forms in this fallen world,and this attempted power grab by CAIR attorney Omar Tarazi is sickening.

I would encourage all of you who take the time to read this to send Rifqa a card,a note,and to spend time in prayer for her. You also might want to thank Pamela Geller for the time and effort she has taken on behalf of Rifqa. (TTM)

From Pamela Geller – Atlas Shrugs – http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/

Our  Christmas card campaign of support for Rifqa Bary has made the jihadists in America very angry. Un-indicted co-conspirator, Muslim Brotherhood front CAIR is demanding the cards be seized. This is simply the age old Islamic persecution of Christians.

I never imagined they would take such an evil action but it shows us who and what they are.

Forces of evil cannot stop such goodness.

This cannot stand in America. Though I am glad we were so successful. There must be thousands of cards, if CAIR is twitching like this.

Christmas cards can be sent to: Rifqa Bary c/o Angela Lloyd 255C Drinko Hall 55 West 12th Avenue Columbus, OH 43210

CAIR Attorney Demands Ban and Seizure of all Christmas Cards sent to Rifqa Bary Jawa

In a stunning development in the ongoing legal saga of Muslim-turned-Christian convert Rifqa Bary, the parents’ attorney, Omar Tarazi, filed a motion with the Franklin County courts last week moving to ban on all Christmas cards being sent to Rifqa through her attorneys, and demanding the seizure from her of all Christmas cards that she might have already received.

And yet her parents still make representations to the media that they intend to honor and respect her Christian faith, while their attorney files sealed motions stating that Christmas cards are “dangerous to her health and safety”. This news and a copy of the motion were provided to me from a source inside CAIR, who noted that CAIR has raised funds for the Bary’s legal jihad to have the courts return the 17 year-old to her allegedly abusive Muslim family.

According to affidavits filed in the case, Rifqa states that her father threatened to kill her for leaving Islam, which prompted her to flee her Ohio home and take refuge with a pastor and his family in Florida. In an interview with Florida investigators, her father admitted to the incident, but denies threatening her life. The family also attends the terror-tied Noor Islamic Cultural Center in the Columbus area. Both she and the ongoing legal case have since been transferred from Florida back to Ohio.

The court will hear Tarazi’s motion for the ban and seizure of all of Rifqa’s Christmas

Be at the Christmas rally for Rifqa. Make a difference. Information here.
