Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


* Promoting Shariah, what amounts to a theo-political-legal code that repressively governs Saudi society and that the Saudis (and other Islamofascists) seek to impose on all of us, Muslims and non-Muslims, alike. Such an agenda involves, among other horrors, the overthrow of representative governments like ours – violently if necessary – and is, therefore, patently seditious and illegal.

* Funding and operating thousands of mosques, madrassas and Islamic centers around the United States and elsewhere around the world in the service of the Saudi’s Shariah program. An as-yet-unpublished survey of 100 of these facilities in America has confirmed that the vast majority of them feature incitement through sermons and proselytizing by Saudi-trained imams and/or hateful Saudi-produced literature, videos and textbooks.

* Founding and underwriting a network of organizations the Department of Justice has determined are Muslim Brotherhood front groups including such so-called “mainstream” entities as the Islamic Society of North America and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. As the Justice Department has also demonstrated, the Brotherhood has a stated objective of destroying America from within. This goal is being advanced via their recruitment in America’s prison systems and military and their penetration and suborning of the U.S. government.

* Last but hardly least, seeking to co-opt and exploit America’s capital markets via investments said to be “Shariah-compliant.” The arbiters of such compliance are Saudi-trained “authorities” whose stated purpose is to promote Shariah. The more candid among them have declared such financial arrangements – also doing business as “Islamic banking,” “ethical finance” and “structured finance” – to be “financial jihad,” yet another instrument to be used to bring about the Islamists’ goal of a global caliphate by destroying the West from within.

We will have no one to blame but ourselves if the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia persists in such behavior as we fail to hold them accountable for their actions. The first step towards doing the latter would be to take advantage of the present teaching moment before contemplating further rewarding the Saudis for their double-game.

Islamic radicalism
is a serious problem. We do have to keep in mind that not everyone over there buys into the jihadist mindset. There are really two strains of the religion now. Bush is not incorrect in calling the one branch a religion of peace. Ok, he was more broad than that. The point is there are two competing philosophies in Islam and therefore the Muslim world. One is peaceful. There are different sects or tribes within each branch. Most of the people over there will tell you if reports are correct that the Sunni / Shia divide is not very meaningful. Rather there is a divide between the more radical elements and the more moderate ones.

Guys like Amhadinehad in Iran, Nasralluh in Lebanon (Hezbollah), Assad in Syria, Hamas in the palestinian areas, and Mr. bin Laden himself leading a more supra national group, and there are many others, lead the radical sect. These are the ones and their followers that need to be buried. Any help we can give to the moderates, monarchy or democracy is helpful to the cause of this. There are many over there on our side but, afraid to be too public about it. Can you blame them?

What we should be doing for Mosques and such in the U.S. is enforcing the law. If we have evidence that the Saudis are breaking the law by direction of their government, then we can call them on it. So far all I have seen is rumor and innuendo.

We have much more evidence that Mexico is aiding and abetting law breakers and we are doing nothing there.
