		<description>It&#039;s certainly a sad state of affairs when people have to arm themselves because the government refuses to protect us against our enemies. Yet this government wants to disarm us and our military at the same time to make us totally helpless and defenseless. This is a Leftist regime not unlike Castro&#039;s or Chavez&#039;s. It&#039;s empty of common sense and governs by the rules of political correctness and radical social and political transformation. It is, in short, tyrannical. The Left has been working to bring us to this place for decades and by our ignorance and indifference we have allowed them to arrive here. November 2010 seems very far away and gives Obama and his miscreants too much time to cause even more damage and to trample on our liberties.</description>

		<description>Defensive warfare sucks. We can expect this trend to accelerate as the overt wars in Iraq and Afghanistan slow down. The &#039;surge&#039; in Afghanistan will raise the level of combat somewhat, but the effectiveness of our forces will be degraded by the hostile terrain. The net effect will be less loss and attrition upon our enemies. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The idea that we were waging war in Iraq and Afghanistan so that we would not have to fight them here is a valid argument. We shall see how effective it was during the next few years.</description>

		<description>i read all this and i realise that i am not alone in my fear that under the quise of the promotion of diversity,jihadists are positioning themselves to wreak violent havoc upon this counrty.what these purveyors of death will ecounter is an armed populace who knows how to use their weapons and in growing numbers ,carry them on their person.the explosion of the acquisition of firearms has nothing to do with the fear of obama taking them away.rather,it is the recognition of those of us outside the beltway that the enemy is amongst us and ready to strike (again).in this envirorment,legally carrying a weapon is a civic duty. the verbal gymnastics of our government to refrain from using the&quot; m &quot; or  &quot;t&quot; words  doesn&#039;t afford us any protection or change the reality we face</description>

		<description>Shocking and abhorrent beyond words! I already had enough issues with Islam, but this is almost beyond belief. Makes me realize that the UN is even more of a travesty than I already thought.</description>

		<description>It has long been conjectured that we would be destroyed from within. When we have members of the upper echelon of the military sympathetic to Muslim demands and &quot;diversity&quot; above national security, we are indeed in grave danger. Casey must go.</description>

		<description>Thanks for this Linda. Islam really is a midieval socio-political system and it NEVER CHANGES. I never thought anyone would publicly admit that it condones slavery in the 21st century!</description>

		<description>SOMALI GANGS ATTACK AMERICANS&lt;br&gt;This is how Americans are thanked for taking in so-called &#039;refugees&#039;. For protection, non-Muslims should walk outside in groups.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;SUN JOURNAL&lt;br&gt;Police investigate Somali attacks&lt;br&gt;Submitted by Sun Journal on Thu, 12/17/2009 - 00:32&lt;br&gt;By Mark LaFlamme, Staff Writer&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;LEWISTON — In the early evening on the first day of summer, a large group of Somali boys approached a woman on the corner of Ash and Pierce streets. According to police reports, they intimidated the woman and slapped her in the back of the head before scattering into the downtown.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Five days later, shortly after midnight, a man was accosted by a group of Somali boys outside the Big Apple on Main Street. Police reports say several members of the group punched the man and took money from him.

<p>SUN JOURNAL<br />Police investigate Somali attacks<br />Submitted by Sun Journal on Thu, 12/17/2009 &#8211; 00:32<br />By Mark LaFlamme, Staff Writer</p>
<p>LEWISTON — In the early evening on the first day of summer, a large group of Somali boys approached a woman on the corner of Ash and Pierce streets. According to police reports, they intimidated the woman and slapped her in the back of the head before scattering into the downtown.</p>
<p>Five days later, shortly after midnight, a man was accosted by a group of Somali boys outside the Big Apple on Main Street. Police reports say several members of the group punched the man and took money from him. They then fled in a car.</p>
<p>Later that night, a woman in her late 60s was beaten by a group of Somali boys and relieved of cash while walking in Kennedy Park.</p>
<p>Five nights later, another man was jumped by a group of similar description. He resisted the gang and was beaten badly. He required surgery.</p>
<p>Throughout the summer, similar reports have come into the Police Department. Witnesses and investigators say swarms of Somali boys, some as young as 8, others in their late teens, overwhelm solitary victims through sheer numbers.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#39;s not gang activity in the traditional sense,&#8221; Deputy Chief James Minkowsky said. &#8220;We&#39;re not seeing the colors or the monikers, but it&#39;s still a gang mentality.&#8221;</p>

Typically, they threaten or beat their victims until they give up the goods: money, bicycles, cell phones, prescription drugs, or other items of value. Then they scatter.<br />&#8220;By the time the call gets to us, the group has dispersed,&#8221; Minkowsky said.</p>
<p>The attacks continued all summer; more than a dozen were reported to police. There were more in the fall and a series of them in recent weeks. In each attack, the victim is one who may have appeared weak to the group that descended on them.</p>

		<description>Thousands of children leave home or are kidnapped each year. Most are never found or returned home. How was it that Rifqa was located so quickly after going to Florida? Why is the father not required to provide proof that he is here legally? Why are the rights of the Muslim parents afforded more weight than those of their Christian daughter? There are many unanswered questions. One thing is clear. The Ohio authorities are dead wrong in how they&#039;re handling this case. They are stupid and ignorant but we can&#039;t change them. This is why asking questions is not the way to obtain justice. We need to protest against the injustice being inflicted on Rifqa and continue doing so each time a case like hers becomes public. Next, we must vote the corrupt, politically correct politicians who now govern us out of office. We don&#039;t want what&#039;s happening in Europe to happen here. Once the Muslims become numerous enough our struggle with Islamism will become multiple times more difficult. The time to act is now until they are soundly defeated.</description>

		<description>British police and the organizations in Britain who help victims such as Rifqa, would be shocked and horrified at American authorities&#039; cruel treatment of Rifqa.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;WWW.GUARDIAN.CO.UK&lt;br&gt;Ending the silence on &#039;honour killing&#039;&lt;br&gt;I wish I could get involved with the support groups and help but you know, I&#039;m just a coward.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Having first walked out of an abusive marriage at the age of 17 and then from a hostile family who had had a meeting to discuss whether or not she should die, Zena does not lack courage but she is still very scared.&lt;br&gt;She has every reason to be. Her Bangladeshi-born mother had suggested that Zena might be allowed to poison herself rather than be murdered for bringing shame on the family.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I&#039;m sorry to be so cloak-and-dagger but you never know what they might be capable of, I know there are plenty of young men who would love to play bounty hunter just for a bit of kudos in the community.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Police estimate at least 12 are dying each year in the UK but others will be hidden – forced suicides and murders made to look like suicide are widely believed to take place undetected. Women aged 16-24 from Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi backgrounds are three times more likely to kill themselves than the national average for that age and it is impossible to tell what pressures some must have been under.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When it opened its helpline in April 2008, Karma Nirvana received 4,000 calls in the first year and is now taking 300 calls a month from people under threat of honour-based violence, often linked to forced marriage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After the government&#039;s forced marriage unit was set up in April last year, it received 5,000 calls and rescued 400 victims in the first six months.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They also face being hunted down, said Detective Chief Inspector Gerry Campbell of the Metropolitan police. &quot;It&#039;s not uncommon to have bounty hunters out hunting down young people who have left forced marriages or fled from a family where they are at risk.

The simple message is: If you do this you will be caught and brought to justice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The behaviour of women seen to have dishonoured their families can be as harmless as wearing make-up or talking to boys.

		<description>Please support the American people. Support our brave military! Sign the petition. Our courageous SEALs are being attacked by Washington for DOING THEIR JOB!

Robert M. Gates&lt;br&gt;Secretary of Defense&lt;br&gt;The Pentagon&lt;br&gt;Washington, DC&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dear Secretary Gates:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We, the editors and staff of HUMAN EVENTS, and the many Americans who have attached their signatures to this petition, hereby request your personal intervention to dismiss the charges against Navy SEAL operators SO2 Jonathan Keefe, SO1 Julio Huertas and SO2 Matthew McCabe.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These three men are charged with abusing a terrorist they captured in a daring nighttime raid on or about 1 September 2009. On that night, they -- as part of a platoon from SEAL Team 10 -- captured and detained Ahmed Hashim Abed, one of the most barbaric and dangerous terrorists in Iraq. The terrorist -- in a move that is literally right out of the al-Queda training manual -- complained of abuse, apparently alleging he was struck in the stomach.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We had hoped that the SEALs’ commanders would dispose of this matter at the lowest level -- with a scolding and perhaps a few hundred pushups -- for anyone actually guilty of inflicting an inconvenience on this bloody-handed barbarian. But on 29 September 2009, Gen. David H. Petraeus signed a letter authorizing MGen. Charles T. Cleveland to dispose of the allegations of misconduct. In that letter, Gen. Petraeus said that MGen. Cleveland could, &quot;...dispose of these matters in any manner you deem appropriate. This includes the authority to convene courts-martial at any level up to and including General Courts-Martial and to refer charges concerning these individuals to any court-martial.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The three now face special courts-martial next month. We believe their commanders -- including General Petraeus -- have failed you, the SEALs and the American people by not preventing the matter from going this far.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You are the person next in line above General Petraeus in the chain of command. You can, legally under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, intervene to dismiss the charges against the three SEALs and direct that they be restored to duty.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We respectfully request that you do so forthwith. For this matter to continue -- and to place the honor and fighting future of these three men at stake -- is manifestly a gross injustice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Respectfully submitted,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SIGN THE PETITION!&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=34775&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=34775&lt;/a&gt;</description>

<p>The three now face special courts-martial next month. We believe their commanders &#8212; including General Petraeus &#8212; have failed you, the SEALs and the American people by not preventing the matter from going this far.</p>
<p>You are the person next in line above General Petraeus in the chain of command. You can, legally under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, intervene to dismiss the charges against the three SEALs and direct that they be restored to duty.</p>
<p>We respectfully request that you do so forthwith. For this matter to continue &#8212; and to place the honor and fighting future of these three men at stake &#8212; is manifestly a gross injustice.</p>
<p> Respectfully submitted,</p>

<p>By Bob Unruh<br />© 2009 WorldNetDaily</p>
<p>A new video released by the Christian Action Network shows Muslim women at a compound in New York state practicing throat-slitting techniques and assault weapons attacks.</p>
<p>The video was distributed by the makers of the movie &#8220;Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S.,&#8221; which documents how a jihadist group has developed dozens of training camps across the nation.</p>
<p>WND reported at the time how Jamaat ul-Fuqra has built 35 compounds – mostly in the northeastern corridor of the U.S.</p>
<p>&#8230;The U.S. State Department&#39;s 1998 &#8220;Patterns of Global Terrorism&#8221; report notes the organization &#8220;seeks to purify Islam through violence.&#8221;</p>
<p>The report continued, &#8220;Members have purchased isolated rural compounds in North America to live communally, practice their faith and insulate themselves from Western culture. Fuqra members have attacked a variety of targets that they view as enemies of Islam.&#8221;</p>
<p>CAN, led by Martin Mawyer, has researched Muslims of America for years and has provided its video to the FBI, State Department and Homeland Security.</p>
<p>To date, there has been no response from the government, the group said. </p>
<p>&#8230;&#8221;Gilani has stated he is preparing his members to the Soldiers of Allah, and he&#39;s set up the most advanced guerrilla warfare training camps,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The organization&#39;s &#8220;Homegrown Jihad&#8221; video includes a chilling scene of Jamaat ul-Fuqra&#39;s leader Sheikh Mubarak Gilani telling followers to &#8220;act like you&#39;re his friend. Then kill him.&#8221;</p>

		<description>Mr. Vickers has no idea what oppression is. Left him go live in one of the Arab countries, or Iran, and he will find out what true oppression is. Of course for women the situation is far more severe. They should be thankful that their predecessors were not shipped to Russia where the Soviets would have taught them what oppression really means.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Their hatred for America is blind, fierce and completely irrational, but it is what it is. We can&#039;t change them or how they feel. We can only fight them with whatever means are available, and I do mean &quot;whatever means&quot;. They and their Leftist supporters have been moving this country towards civil war and one day they may achieve their goal. We need to be ready. Their numbers are growing and they are demonstrably violent and homicidal in far too many instances.</description>
