The Veil of Islam
September 13, 2008

If you follow news events around the world, it becomes very apparent that there are numerous violent crimes committed in various places in which explosives, firebombs, automatic weapons and general mayhem are the weapons of choice. Clearly, there are continuing situations where riots, civil disorder and chaos prevail against the local and national governments of countries, not only in the Middle East and Central Asia, but also in Europe. Thankfully, our Islamic enemies have yet to obtain weapons of mass destruction, or WMD. However, the day is coming when they will have WMD and they will use them!

Recently, in Dallas, Texas, a father murdered his two daughters. Why do you suppose that a father would do such a thing? Why would a brother, uncle, or any male relative perpetrate the murder of a female family member? Is such a practice the norm in modern society? Sadly, the answer is yes. It is the norm if you are a devout practicing member of the religion of peace, Islam.

Certainly, not all Muslims have undertaken such crimes and most never will. However, there is a growing number of so-called “honor killings,” perpetrated by Muslims in the United States, Canada and virtually every nation that has allowed Muslim immigration on a large scale. The practice has been on going in Great Britain and the European continent for sometime now. During the six years I lived in Germany as an example, there were seventeen so-called “honor killings” that were so horrendous and vicious in the ways that they were carried out, that the German media could not ignore them. Other incidents were ignored and swept under the rug.

In each and every case, a young Muslim woman was brutally butchered by a male family member. Most were beheaded and rudely mutilated. The reason, the young woman had “dishonored” her family by not living up to their expectations for a young Muslim woman.

The “crime” could have been a number of perceived offenses such as learning the German language, wearing western clothing, or refusing to wear the “hijab” or Muslim headscarf when out of the house. Estimates by German police authorities placed the number of such murders at over 155, during the time I lived there! The numbers of “honor killings” in Great Britain will probably never be known. It’s likely that a crime would be committed in Britain, if police officials even attempted to estimate the number of such murders.

The reason that we are so ignorant of what’s happening regarding this issue and other violence that has become the hallmark of militant Islam, is that the ever present veil. The Veil of Islam once again has been employed to obscure the truth and to mask the true intentions of countless Imams, Mullahs, and other Islamic “holy men.” Those intentions are to dominate British and European societies, bring about the adoption of Shari’a Law (the Muslim legal system based on the Koran, the Haddith and Sunna, all Muslim texts) and the required mass conversion to Islam.

Make no mistake about it; the Muslim religion is not a religion of peace, tolerance, understanding and learning. It is a dominating religion that must overcome all others. Islam is a way of life. Islam demands conformity with all things Islamic. There is no freedom of choice. There is no “gay” rights, women’s rights or any rights whatsoever. There is only the demand to conform…to Islam.

Willing conversion is an acceptable manner in which Islam can spread, but conversion by the sword or more recently by the muzzle of a AK-47 rifle, has been the most common means that Islam spread throughout it’s short and bloody history on earth. Muslims are taught from their earliest years that Islam will overcome all others. To deny this very basic tenet, is to deny Islam. That, is a capital crime! Such a crime literally, will cost you your head.

Interestingly enough, the main facilitator of draping the Veil of Islam is our own Liberal-Socialist media. The intense hatred of President George W. Bush and now John McCain and Sarah Palin, so commonly displayed in the media, has obscured reality when it comes to the crimes of Muslims anywhere in the world.

When there was civil unrest and rioting in France, in which countless automobiles were burned, policemen shot and neighborhoods terrorized one had to look far and wide in order to learn that Muslims had perpetrated those crimes. Our partisan press simply failed to report that one little fact. Anytime there is violence in Europe, Asia or the Middle East; it’s not uncommon at all, for there to be a “Muslim faction” deeply involved. However, our media will not report it that way. It’s rare for the MSM to report such news. Even murders such as the so-called “honor killings” are either not reported or they are under-reported. They are happening in our country much more frequently than imagined.

Why, you ask? Are our news reporters afraid for themselves, their families or their lives? In some cases the answer must be yes. Even in this nation, a “Fatwa” can be issued by an Islamic “holy man.” A Fatwa can mean a death sentence for anyone who “insults Islam.” In other cases, the answer is simply that the vaunted press corps is deceived and is generously participating in the spread of Islamic influence. Accordingly, our mainstream media is willingly aiding and abetting militant Islam in obscuring the true intentions and goals of the religion. Our MSM has lowered the Veil of Islam over our nation.

Whenever a Muslim convert perpetrates a hate-crime against Americans the partisan press will rarely if ever, refer to him by his adopted and legal Muslim name. Examples are two terrorist criminals, Jose Padilla (Abdullah Al-Muhajir) and Richard Reid (Abdul Rahim). You probably recognize their Christian names from the countless MSM stories about their antics and intentions. Many MSM stories have attempted to curry favor and sympathy for these two Muslim hate-mongers and would-be murderers. MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is a particular fan of Abdullah Al-Muhajir.

Both Al-Muhajir and Rahim were losers before Muslim Imams who turned them to violence and terror, recruited them in prison. Abdul Rahim (Reid) was the noted “shoe bomber.” Due to his desire to spread the “peace and love” of Islam, by attempting to blow an airliner out of the air, we now have our shoes x-rayed prior to boarding an airplane in the United States, or on a US bound flight from overseas. Abdullah Al-Muhajir, (Padilla) was just a street punk who traveled overseas to kill American soldiers in his Jihadi desire to spread the influence of Islam. But by golly, these guys have “rights,” and we wouldn’t want to violate them now, would we?

The only person indicted for TREASON in decades is a young Muslim convert who began life named Adam Gedahn. You may have seen him paraded on television wearing a dirty turban, sporting a full beard and spewing forth threats, insults and Al-Qaeda propaganda. Yet, do you know his Islamic name? Do you know his legal name? Chances are that most that read this have no clue. His true and legal name is Azzam Al-Amriki. We can only hope that recent reports of his demise are not premature. Why you ask, don’t the media use the real names, the Islamic names?

Political correctness is deceptive, destructive and bent on cowering and defeating our British and American nations. A conception of Western Liberal-Socialists, PC has spread its tentacles throughout western society. It permeates the political scene in Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States. It has created a stench that reminds one of a street corner in Paris!

The rot of political correctness has even created a situation in which no public official dares to even identify the enemy we are fighting in the war that may determine whether or not our nation survives, as we know it! That enemy, in case you are unaware is ISLAM. It’s the evil of our time! We must not leave it for our children!

Sadly, the partisan press is so determined, along with the Democrat Party in our United States, to bring about our defeat against mortal enemies. The Democrats along with their candidate Barack Hussein Obama hope to capture the White House in this year’s election. They are all heavily invested in the defeat of our armed forces. They continue to demand that we withdraw and re-deploy our troops somewhere else, outside Iraq.

Never mind that we are winning and that the Bush-McCain Surge has been an overwhelming success. The concept of “cut and run” and the ultimate surrender to our enemies in Iraq, is very much a part of the Obama-Biden program.

Obama and Biden have yet to announce any plan to WIN THE WAR AND DEFEAT MILITANT ISLAM. They have attempted numerous times to cut funding for our soldiers and deny them ammunition, food, fuel and other means to prosecute the war on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It’s clear that the total defeat of America and Britain in the war and in the pursuit of our national goals in the near-East region would benefit the Democrats, or so they believe. Putting Country First, afterall, is not a Democrat theme.

The war with ISLAMO-FASCISM is a worldwide struggle. However, it’s become so political and such an obscured issue that not the even the Republicans dare to identify the enemy for who and what they are! Additionally, the Republican Party has become so timid of the power it possesses and has possessed for the past seven years that it has sought to be like those it defeated in previous elections. John McCain was absolutely correct when he told the Republican National Convention that the Republicans had “blown it.”

The result of Liberal-Socialism, the hatred of President Bush and the partisan media has been to lower a veil of ignorance over the Islamic threat to our nations. Sadly, the United States and Great Britain will never defeat militant Islam. It’s just not in us anymore, to see war through to victory. We now live in a society of instant gratification. We expect wars to end at the end of the TV show before we go to bed at night.

In the meantime, look for more news events in the world to be clouded and veiled by the partisan media. However, if the Democrats seize the White House in 2009 and dominate Washington once again, a complete reversal of the veiling of Islam may result. The veil may actually come off if the “Obamessiah” becomes our next president. The partisan media may finally begin to do their jobs and report honestly and truthfully about encroaching Islam and reveal all of it’s warts and blemishes. But on the other hand, probably not. There is too much self-loathing and desire for national destruction out there in the far-left field of Liberal-Socialism. It’s the same Liberal-Socialism adhered to by so many leading members of the partisan news media.

It may be of some interest, that Liberals in our nation actually supported Hitler during the 1930’s. Many Nazi ideas were celebrated and copied in our country. We saw that the German Labor Front put men back to work and completed many infrastructure projects such as the Autobahn, roadside parks, conservation projects, soil and water clean-ups, all near and dear to the Liberal heart. On the darkside, the Nazis also practiced the sterilization of “inferior” peoples, and euthanasia of the mentally ill and handicapped.

Liberals were supportive of sterilizing Black people up to the 1950’s. This truly excited the Liberal founders of Planned Parenthood and groups that adhered to and continue to push for government mandated euthanasia programs. Eugenics was a main Liberal theme until after World War II. It’s a shame that the so-called “Black Leaders” such as Obama’s Pastor, Jeremiah Wright, his cohort Father Pfleger as well as Farrakhan, Jackson, Sharpton et al. have conveniently forgotten that Liberals sought to control the Black race through sterilization and abortion.

It was only after Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, in June 1941, that Liberals became “patriots” and demanded the defeat of the Nazis. Their true hero, Josef Stalin and Soviet Communism were at risk of being destroyed. This was the main reason that Liberal-Socialists worked for and supported, the Allied war effort in World War II. It most certainly was not love of country.

Thankfully, John McCain chose the best person for the job of Vice-President. He chose a woman of character, courage to do the right thing and to hell, with the media. Long before Sarah Palin accepted the nomination for her party’s nomination as Vice-President, she accepted the fact that she will never be the darling of the Liberal-Socialist Media. It’s just never going to happen.
