Terrorists by Any Other Name
Terrorists by Any Other Name
By GEORGE H. WITTMAN
Why are “moderate” Muslims least surprised by the terrorism practiced by their co-religionists?
Drummer Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers was run down last week by a vehicle targeting him as he walked along a London street. He was then repeatedly stabbed with knives and eventually decapitated with a meat cleaver. The worst fears of British security services had come to pass. Such an episode of individual murder had been expected to occur in one form or another, but the brutal attack on Rigby confirmed the dangers that had swirled about urban Britain’s racially and religiously volatile Islamic community for many years.
Many factors are being considered by the various law enforcement agencies now involved in the investigation, but the existence of any size of radicalized Muslim social order within a primarily European society challenges the fundamental cohesiveness and thus historical order of that majority society. This is the issue that is also facing the authorities in Stockholm where rioters — primarily, though not exclusively, of Islamic immigrant background — spent days complaining over lack of benefits that they had come to expect.
The assault in London was followed in France by a knife attack on a French soldier in the business center of La Defense on Paris’s outskirts. Unrelated but consistent, an ethnic Chechen Muslim in Florida was shot by the FBI after he allegedly lunged at interrogators seeking possible involvement with the Boston Marathon bombing by the Tsarnaev brothers. Connections in motivation were made by security specialists that these and similar past actions were in response to Islamic terrorist declarations that the lives of “crusaders” and other non-believers must be taken in order to avenge American and European efforts to subjugate Muslim lands and people. Meanwhile, throughout Africa’s Maghreb and Sahel, bands of radicalized Islamic terrorists have organized to murder and pillage in an effort to destabilize existing governance.
What is most surprising about these actions is that Islamic communities in occidental areas do not seem in the slightest surprised at these events — even while condemning them. The reaction among many so-called “moderate” Muslims has been appropriately condemnatory of the acts — but hardly shocked or even surprised. The fact is that it is expected in the Muslim community that some among them will seek to punish “non-believers” in the fashion dictated by the Qu’ran — “to command good and forbid evil.”
Nonetheless in some of the incidents referred to there has been a direct claim of religious justification for the acts, though these brutal murders and attacks are carried out supposedly in retribution for the death or privation of innocent civilians by political and military forces of the dominating West. Revenge for military action is cloaked later in pseudo-spiritual justification by apologists seeking to explain the homicidal acts even as the perpetrators waste no time in planning their next action.
The reality is that the Islamic world is now infected with an effort to instill within its youth a belief that non-believers aided by heretics have been responsible for the loss of Islamic status and prestige, as well as legal dominance, over lands and people once held in the sway of Muslim genius and might. The right of Islam to dominate is at the core of this belief — and thus the justification for the engagement of all acts carried out in the name of Islamic solidarity and revenge — conveniently characterized under the term, jihad.
From this reasoning the late Sunni terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden, energized a movement that now seeks to expand its reach — under its al Qaeda name and others — to conquer and punish countries and their people. Terrorist tactics are deemed the most suitable for they have a force multiplier effect. These tactics also encourage the targets to focus on the terror and not the shared religious conviction and/or pretense that nurtures the act.
For some reason, best known to the President of the United States, he has decided that characterizing the acts as criminal portrays them in a less malevolent mien and not a historic religiously driven derivation. In this fashion the American president has declared that the “war” against these forces is over, while the battle against international crime can and will continue as part of a global effort to preserve law and order.
The White House takes the position that the religio-political character of Islamic-derived contemporary terrorism has been replaced by a fraternity of murderers and anarchists for unstated material benefits. In this manner history and culture can be ignored and the religious alignment that gives impetus and justification to these actions can be absolved in the form of its own victimization rather than as a contributing factor.
If this were true, Drummer Rigby never would have been assassinated for no other reason than his mere existence. But the American president wants us to believe it wasn’t the bastardization of a great faith that drove the heinous act, but some far more understandable socio-psychological malaise. Why would he do that?

He Knew. His ideological Soldiers Will Fall On Their Swords For Him.
And they will always have a job in government, academia, or some non-profit. They will be bought and paid for.
The IRS Targets The Right And Gives Free Passes To The Left: Just Like The Main Stream Media Does.
The current IRS scandal is getting a lot of attention as it should. This abuse of power and attacks on specific, targeted groups of Americans is antithetical to American values and likely part of a larger abuse of government power against the Obama Administrations perceived enemies in general.
However, what is also antithetical to American values is how the monolithic left wing media does the exact same thing to specific Americans. The media is the watch dog of Government, yet they give the left a pass and suppress the right with the most stringent and unwavering scrutiny imaginable. I like the scrutiny they give to the right, however, they need to apply the exact same scrutiny on the left. You cannot prosecute one side with the utmost scrutiny and have little intellectual curiosity about what the other side does. Combined with what seemingly seems to be the entire entertainment industry, nearly all academia and newspapers, the left controls nearly all the levers of information dissemination and control.
The monolithic news media needs to begin to allow more diverse voices into its ranks in order to prosecute the left as passionately as it prosecutes the right. All sides must be kept honest and accountable to the public. The current misuse of government is a result of the invincibility that the left feels when it comes to accountability. The media is to blame for this.

CONFIRMED: IRS Gave Preferential Treatment to Malik Obama’s Charity – Now Found Linked to Genocidal Regime
MALIK OBAMA’S CHARITY LINKED TO GENOCIDAL REGIME!
In light of the recent revelations that the IRS has been unfairly targeting conservative groups, President Obama’s half-brother “got a sweetheart deal” from the IRS. According to the Daily Caller, Lois Lerner, the senior IRS official at the center of the decision to target tea party groups for burdensome tax scrutiny, signed paperwork granting tax-exempt status to the Barack H. Obama Foundation, a shady charity headed by the president’s half-brother that operated illegally for years. Lerner approved the foundation’s tax status within a month of filing.
But now there is evidence that the Barack H. Obama Foundation is linked to terrorism and genocide.
Malik Obama speaks at the Munadhamat Dawa Al-Islamia (MDI) Board of Directors Conference 2010, Khartoum, Sudan.

The Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF) is linked to top Sudanese officials, a regime accused of terrorism and genocide.
Walid Shoebat reported:
It has been learned that the relationship between President Barack Obama’s half-brother Malik Obama and Sudan’s President Omar Al-Bashir is much closer than previously thought…
…In 2010, Malik Obama attended the Islamic Da’wa Organization (IDO) conference in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. One of the objectives of the IDO is to spread Wahhabist Islam across the African continent.
Al-Bashir wasn’t just present at the conference; he supervised it.
From the Barack H. Obama website:
In this photo, from the Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF) website, headed by Malik, Omar al-Bashir can be seen dressed in black, to the right. Another man to take notice of is seated directly to the right of Bashir; his name is Suar Al Dahab.
Omar Al-Bashir is a controversial figure both in Sudan and worldwide. In July 2008, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), accused al-Bashir of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur. The court issued an arrest warrant for al-Bashir on counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Al-Bashir and top Sudanese officials are pictured with Malik Obama on the front page of the Barack H. Obama website. And, the IRS gave this group preferential treatment over American conservative and pro-Constitutional groups.
Barack Obama welcomed his militant Muslim brother Malik Obama to the White House after his inauguration.

New York Times Won't Attend Off-The-Record Eric Holder Meeting
The Rats begin to flee the sinking ship.
Long time Black Panther co-conspirator Eric Holder is beginning to lose the leftist media as 2014 elections loom.
NEW YORK -- The New York Times will not attend a meeting this week betweenAttorney General Eric Holder and the Washington bureau chiefs of several media outlets to discuss guidelines for journalists in leak investigations.
Times executive editor Jill Abramson cited the Justice Department's request that the discussion be kept off the record as a reason for not attending.
"We will not be attending the session at DOJ," Abramson said in a statement to The Huffington Post. "It isn't appropriate for us to attend an off the record meeting with the attorney general. Our Washington bureau is aggressively covering the department's handling of leak investigations at this time."
"Evidently, there will be a future session with department officials on the substance of how the law should be applied in leak cases and I am hopeful that our counsel, David McCraw, will be able to participate in that meeting," Abramson added.
President Obama announced last week that Holder would meet with media executives to discuss guidelines concerning journalists caught up in leak investigations. There has been growing concern among journalists and lawmakers about the DOJ's tactics following the seizure of Associated Press phone records in one investigation and the accusation in court documents that a Fox News reporter may have committed a crime in the course of reporting in another.

With the Times refusing to accept the off-the-record ground rules, it seems likely other news organizations will similarly decline to meet with Holder.
Following the Times decision, Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse tweeted that President Obama asked the attorney general "to review how leak investigations are done but some in the media refuse to meet with him. Kind of forfeits your right gripe."
Journalists would argue that the issue is not about simply refusing to meet Holder, but that the government shouldn't set conditions that would prevent news organizations from reporting on what takes place.
CNN's Jake Tapper tweeted a link to Woodhouse's remark and noted mockingly that "this is actually the spokesman for the Democratic National Committee."
