Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


            [Kimmet might also ask his  hosts in the Persian Gulf what they think of Mufti Taqi Usmani, probably the single most authoritative “scholar” on Shariah and SCF in the world. His book, Islam and Modernism, translated into English in 1999, obligates Muslims living in the West to either engage in violent Jihad to overthrow the infidel democracies or at the very least support Jihad with their money and other resources.]

            What are we to make of the fact that so many senior U.S. government officials seem so clueless about the true and threatening nature of Shariah-Compliant Finance and the seditious Shariah agenda it explicitly serves?  For sure, they find David Yerushalmi’s conclusions inconvenient at a time when Kimmitt and others are desperately trying to recycle our petrodollars now in the hands of Shariah-adhering Saudis and Qataris. 

            In a terrific new book, The Failure Factory, the Washington Times’ ace national security correspondent documents myriad cases of federal bureaucrats actively subverting the President’s efforts to wage and win the war against our terrorist foes.  Perhaps, this is yet another example of such insidious disloyalty.

            Whatever the motivation for federal officials giving Shariah-Compliant Finance the “see-no-evil” treatment, sedition is sedition.  And under the U.S. code, those who are aware of seditious activities and who fail to take actions to stop it are themselves guilty of a felony offense.  It is called “misprision of treason.” 

            Those government officials who have sworn an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States have a special responsibility not only to learn all they can about seditious Shariah and the various means – including “Islamic banking” by which it is being advanced in our capital markets and others.  They also have a professional obligation to make clear that Shariah and its financial form of jihad are not legal in the United States and will be prosecuted.  If they fail to do so, they themselves risk, and deserve, prosecution.

perhaps McCain was right
to call for Christopher Cox to resign? Seems like he's awfully cavalier about this threat!

Sell Off or Sell Out?
Interesting article...but why so few comments? My view is that we have become a Nation of fatties, dummies, and grumpies who no longer can muster the energy to even wake up to alarming assaults on our freedoms. Indeed, most of us don’t even know what those freedoms are, what they truly mean, and/or how and why they were created.

We the people are supposed to guide our own destiny with interest and active participation in the politics of the country. Prudence and a conservative stance are required. We vote for politicians who do our bidding not the other way around and a sense of entitlement at the expense of others is not a consideration. “Keeping our powder dry” for future emergencies is essential; another words a healthy reserve in economic and military might is necessary. We the people are doing none of these things and we make ourselves very vulnerable to our enemies and we are mortgaging our futures on borrowed moneys that we don’t control. It’s time to get our internal house in order. Get back to basics like balanced budgets and fiscal responsibility in our own homes and in government. Secure our borders, throw all the blood-sucking vermin out of the country, bring back the manufacturing base, bring our military home, and restrain our diplomatic efforts to a minimum…we are not the world’s policeman and it just invites more animosity from all the deranged but envious mobs outside our borders. We have to stop the hemorrhaging of all that is dear to this nation starting with ourselves and demanding accountability and restraint from the political office holders. That is a nation of strength; the one we have now is an obese Baby Huey waiting to be knocked over with a feather (one of its own at that).
