America Please WAKE UP the Sleeping Giant
Naval captain's speech urges Americans to "wake up" and act decisively in battling terrorism.
America WAKE UP!
That's what we think we heard on the 11th of September 2001 and maybe it was, but I think it should have been "Get Out of Bed!" In fact, I think the alarm clock has been buzzing since 1979 and we have continued to hit the snooze button and roll over for a few more minutes of peaceful sleep since then.
It was a cool fall day in November 1979 in a country going through a religious and political upheaval when a group of Iranian students attacked and seized the American Embassy in Tehran. This seizure was an outright attack on American soil; it was an attack that held the world's most powerful country hostage and paralyzed a Presidency. The attack on this sovereign US embassy set the stage for the events to follow for the next
America was still reeling from the aftermath of the Viet Nam experience and had a serious threat from the Soviet Union when then, President Carter, had to do something. He chose to conduct a clandestine raid in the desert. The ill-fated mission ended in ruin, but stood as a symbol of America's inability to deal with terrorism. America's military had been decimated and downsized / right sized since the end of the Viet Nam war. A poorly trained, poorly equipped and poorly organized military was called on to execute a complex mission that was doomed from the start.
Shortly after the Tehran experience, Americans began to be kidnapped and killed throughout the Middle East. America could do little to protect her citizens living and working abroad. The attacks against US soil continued.
In April of 1983 a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven into the US Embassy compound in Beirut. When it explodes, it kills
Soon the terrorism spreads to Europe. In April 1985 a bomb explodes in a restaurant frequented by US soldiers in Madrid. Then in August a Volkswagen loaded with explosives is driven into the main gate of the US Air Force Base at Rhein-Main, 22 are killed and the Snooze Alarm is buzzing louder and louder as US soil is continually attacked. Fifty-nine days later a cruise ship, the Achille Lauro is hijacked and we watched as an American in a wheelchair is singled out of the passenger list and executed. The terrorists then shift their tactics to bombing civilian airliners when they bomb TWA
The terrorists decide to bring the fight to America. In January 1993, two CIA agents are shot and killed as they enter CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. The following month, February 1993, a group of terrorists are arrested after a rented van packed with explosives is driven into the underground parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people are killed and over 1000 are injured. Still this is a crime and not an act of war? The Snooze alarm is depressed again.
Then in November 1995 a car bomb explodes at a US military complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia killing seven service men and women. A few months later in June of 1996, another truck bomb explodes only
The terrorists are getting braver and smarter as they see that America does not respond decisively. They move to coordinate their attacks in a simultaneous attack on two US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. These attacks were planned with precision, they kill 224. America responds with cruise missile attacks and goes back to sleep.
The USS Cole was docked in the port of Aden, Yemen for refueling on
And of course you know the events of 11 September 2001. Most Americans think this was the first attack against US soil or in America. How wrong they are. America has been under a constant attack since 1979 and we chose to hit the snooze alarm and roll over and go back to sleep.
In the news lately we have seen lots of finger pointing from every high official in government over what they knew and what they didn't know. But if you've read the papers and paid a little attention I think you can see exactly what they knew. You don't have to be in the FBI or CIA or on the National Security Council to see the pattern that has been developing since 1979. The President is right on when he says we are engaged in a war. I think we have been in a war for the past
America has to "Get out of Bed" and act decisively now. America has changed forever. We have to be ready to pay the price and make the sacrifice to ensure our way of life continues. We cannot afford to hit the Snooze Button again and roll over and go back to sleep. We have to make the terrorists know that in the words of Admiral Yamamoto after the attack on Pearl Harbor "that all they have done is to awaken a sleeping giant."
Thank you very much.

Hamas Children Television
Radical Islam wants to destroy the Jewish people, and the only free democratic state in the Middle East. If you dont believe this, take a look at Hamas Children Television programs out of Gaza.
Human Rights Watch said in April 2009, that «Hamas security forces, or masked gunmen believed to be with Hamas executed 18 people. Most of them were accused of collaborating with Israel. Non of them were put on trial.
Others were shot, maimed or beaten for belonging to the opposition political party, Fatah. You can only imagine what would happen if Israel dealt with its internal political enemies or dissenters in such a fashion.
No doubt the report will be ignored or dismissed in the greater cause of demonizing Israel. This has been the trend of late. But as much as some would like to criticize Israel – and I have done so myself – they still have a minimal obligation to acknowledge the difference in core values between Israel and its enemies. Critics who vilify Israel and romanticize Hamas clearly have never had the inexpressible pleasure of living in a place where a chance remark can get your legs riddled with lead. (Washington Post)
Hamas killing political foes
Gunmen linked to Hamas in Gaza killed at least 32 Palestinians and wounded dozens in attacks on political opponents and alleged informers during and after Israel’s recent operation, Human Rights Watch said Monday. 18 Palestinians were killed by Hamas during the three-week war, and 14 others were killed afterward. In addition, 49 Gazans were shot in the legs by masked gunmen between Dec. 28 and Jan. 31, and 73 had their arms or legs broken.
(Arab News-Saudi Arabia)
The International community is responsible for the abuses of basic Human right s that takes place in Gaza by Hamas. In stead of supporting Israel`s military operation,that could have brought an end to this brutal and inhuman Radical Islamic regime, the World at large accused Israel for committing war crimes. The hate against the Jewish people are blinding nations from doing what is right. Hamas is a cancer, that if its not removed will make the whole World guilty of war crimes against humanity.
Also take a look at this Music video, exposing the deceptive lies of the so-called ” Gaza aid flotilla” from Turkey.

Wake up call to a sleeping America, Islam wants to destroy USA
While millions of Muslim children are being prepared to fight us to the death, we are telling our children that Islam is just another religion we need to tolerate. There is a total disconnect between what we teach our kids and the real threat of a radical Islam bent not only on eliminating Israel but also on dominating the West. It's time for the West to wake up and see Islam for what it is – a political movement in religious guise, set to dominate the world.
In late May of 2010, Wellesley, Massachusetts public middle school students took a field trip to the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center - a controversial Saudi-funded mega-mosque run by the Muslim American Society of Boston. There, the students were separated by gender and the boys were asked to join the Muslim adults in their prayer. Several of the public school boys took part.
Very interesting that the guides first tell you that Islam recognized women rights before the West and then turn around and tell the women to leave the prayer area!
Wellesley is a very wealthy town with so many Moonbat(1) liberal wackos it makes Hollywood look conservative. If these kids were brought to say a Hail Mary at a church there would have been a dozen lawsuits the next day from these dopey parents. What happened to separation of church and state? Where are the liberals and atheists that complain about Christianity in schools??????
As its been through out history, one law for some & another for all the rest!!! Just to let you all know that this kind of thing is also happening in the UK, so I am sure it must be the same through out Europe. This has to be stopped & stopped fast.
The people responsible for undermining our traditional American values and our Constitutional rights such as separation of church and state must be held accountable. Whoever is responsible for setting up this proselytizing of our youth by Islam must be removed from positions of authority and made an example of. This cannot stand. If the ACLU doesn't file the lawsuits to stop this you parents must do it wherever it exists..... If you do nothing you are allowing America to be destroyed.
(1)Moonbat: is a term used in United States politics as a political epithet referring to social liberals or leftists.
This will happen at your Hawaii school soon!!!!!!!
Wake up call to a sleeping America, Islam wants to destroy USAWhat a politically correct nightmare things have become since September 11th. Fearing backlash or a lawsuit -- employers, government agencies, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods submit to Muslims' outlandish demands for concessions and impositions of Islamic religious and cultural practices. Muslims exploit western fear -- they prey on people's not wanting to being labeled intolerant bigots or insensitive Islamaphobes, and they do so to gain a foothold and maintain a stronghold!

Hawking Thinks Time Travel Could Happen
Time Travel is Possible According to Stephen Hawking - What Would You Do?
Physicist Stephen Hawking says that time travel is certainly possible for humans. Almost everybody is interested in figuring out how to travel through time, and now it is exciting news to learn that it is actually possible.
How Hawking Thinks Time Travel Could Happen
According to Hawking, in order for time travel to become a reality, engineers have to determine how to warp space-time. This is just one of the exciting topics in Hawking’s latest book The Grand Design” that he co-wrote with Leonard Mlodinow.
In addition to exploring time travel, Hawking believes that humans should continue with space exploration. He thinks that while robots are helpful in exploring space, there is nothing that could replace an actual human.
Hawking says that Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity is what makes time travel possible for humans. The theory allows that space-time warp is actually possible, and if it is figured out, an astronaut could leave earth in a rocket and actually return before she departed. It is an amazingly mind stretching idea, but makes a lot of sense.
If time travel is ever figured out, would you be interested in doing it? What would you do if you could travel in time? The video below gives more information about Hawking’s latest ideas.

Muslims are our friends
Even the most casual examination of history reveals that Islam is an ideology premised on conflict and oppression, from start to finish. According to the Koran there are two types of land on the face of the Earth, land that is subject to the will of allah. and then there is land that will be subject to the will of Allah. Islam means literally submission. Not much room for discussion is there.
The President says that ‘Muslims are our friends’
Here are the facts Mr President
The Qur'an:
Qur'an (5:51) - "O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people."
Qur'an (5:80) - "You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve; certainly evil is that which their souls have sent before for them, that Allah became displeased with them and in chastisement shall they abide." Those Muslims who befriend unbelievers will abide in hell.
Qur'an (3:28) - "Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them..."
This last part means that the Muslim is allowed to feign friendship if it is of benefit. Renowned scholar Ibn Kathir states that "believers are allowed to show friendship outwardly, but never inwardly."
Qur'an (3:118) - "O you who believe! do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people, they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater still; indeed, We have made the communications clear to you, if you will understand."
This verse not only warns Muslims not to take non-Muslims as friends, but it establishes the deep-seated paranoia that the rest of the world is out to get them.
Qur'an (9:23) - "O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends, such are wrong-doers" Even family members are not to be taken as friends if they do not accept Islam.
(This is the mildest interpretation of this verse from the 9th Sura, which also advocates "slaying the unbeliever wherever ye find them").
Qur'an (53:29) - "Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing but the life of this world."
Qur'an (3:85) - "And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers."
Qur'an (3:10) - "(As for) those who disbelieve, surely neither their wealth nor their children shall avail them in the least against Allah, and these it is who are the fuel of the fire." Those who do not believe in Muhammad are but fuel for the fire of Hell (also 66:6, 2:24. 21:98).
Qur'an (7:44) - "The Companions of the Garden will call out to the Companions of the Fire: "We have indeed found the promises of our Lord to us true: Have you also found Your Lord's promises true?" They shall say, "Yes"; but a crier shall proclaim between them: "The curse of Allah is on the wrong-doers"
Muslims in heaven will amuse themselves by looking down on non-Muslims in Hell and mocking them while they are being tortured (see 22:19-22.
Qur'an (1:5-7) - "Show us the straight path, The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; Not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray"
This is a prayer that Muslims are supposed to repeat each day.
"Those who earn Thine anger" specifically refers to Jews and "those who go astray" refers to Christians (see Bukhari (12:749)).
There are verses that contradict the above however the peaceful friendship verses were written when Mohammed had few followers and when he had many follower the verses switched to violence. The previous verses were abrogated by the later verses.
If verses contradict each other that should be a big question as to the validity of such a faith.
The Satanic Verses....
So Mr. President if you are not a Muslim why are you using Al Taqiyah to deceive the American people about Islam. Wake up America, just look at the evidence.

Pentagon Block Book on Afghan War
The Defense Intelligence Agency has blocked a book about the tipping point in Afghanistan and a controversial pre-9/11 data mining project called "Able Danger."
On the eve of Sept. 11, Fox News has learned the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency has attempted to block a book about the tipping point in Afghanistan and a controversial pre-9/11 data mining project called "Able Danger."
In a letter obtained by Fox News, the DIA says national security could be breached if "Operation Dark Heart" is published in its current form. The agency also attempted to block key portions of the book that claim "Able Danger" successfully identified hijacker Mohammed Atta as a threat to the United States before the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
Click here to read the full DIA letter (pdf)
In a highly unusual move, the Department of Defense is now negotiating with the publisher, St. Martin's Press, to buy all 10,000 copies of the first printing of the book to keep it off shelves -- even after the U.S. Army had cleared the book for release.
Specifically, the DIA wanted references to a meeting between Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, the book's author, and the executive director of the 9/11 Commission, Philip Zelikow, removed. In that meeting, which took place in Afghanistan, Shaffer alleges the commission was told about "Able Danger" and the identification of Atta before the attacks. No mention of this was made in the final 9/11 report.

Exclusive Interview With Author of Book Blocked By Pentagon
9/11 hijacker identified before attacks?
Shaffer, who was undercover at the time, said there was "stunned silence" at the meeting after he told the executive director of the commission and others that Atta was identified as early as 2000 by "Able Danger."
"Dr. Philip Zelikow approached me in the corner of the room. 'What you said today is very important. I need you to get in touch with me as soon as you return from your deployment here in Afghanistan'," Shaffer said.
Once back in the U.S., Shaffer says he contacted the commission. Without explanation, the commission was no longer interested. An inspector general report by the Department of Defense concluded there was no evidence to support the claims of Shaffer and others. But Fox News has obtained an unredacted copy of the IG report containing the names of witnesses, who backed up Shaffer's story when contacted for comment.
Atta was the alleged ringleader of the Sept. 11 hijackers and piloted American Airlines Flight 11 into the World Trade Center.
Shaffer spoke to Fox News before he was asked by the military not to discuss the book. He confirmed efforts to block the book and other details.
Calling the move "highly unusual," he explained that the book had already been cleared for release when the DIA stepped in.
"Apparently, Defense Intelligence Agency took exception to the way the Army cleared the book," he told Fox News.
The documents and exclusive interviews, including an Army data collector on the Able Danger Project, are part of an ongoing investigation by the documentary unit "Fox News Reporting" which uncovered new details about American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and efforts by the FBI to track and recruit him for intelligence purposes after 9/11.

Communism doesn't work Mr. Obama
Fidel Castro says communism doesn't work
Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro
Fidel Castro, pictured earlier this month, criticised Cuba's state-dominated system. Photograph: Desmond Boylan/Reuters
- Former Cuban president says Marxist model 'doesn't even work for us' in offhand remark to US journalist Jeffrey Goldberg
- It was a casual remark over a lunch of salad, fish and red wine but future historians are likely to parse and ponder every word: "The Cuban model doesn't even work for us any more."
- That the island's economy is a disaster is hardly news but that the micro-managing "maximum leader" would so breezily acknowledge it has astonished observers.
- Towards the end of a long, relaxed lunch in Havana, Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for the Atlantic magazine, asked Castro if Cuba's economic system was still worth exporting. The reply left him dumbfounded. "Did the leader of the revolution just say, in essence, 'Never mind'?" Goldberg wrote on his blog.
- The 84-year-old retired president did not elaborate but the implication, according to Julia Sweig, a Cuba expert from the Council on Foreign Relations who also attended the lunch, was that the state had too big a role in the economy.
- Raúl Castro has been saying the same thing in public and private since succeeding his older brother two years ago. With infrastructure crumbling, food shortages acute and an average monthly salary of just $25 (£16), it has become apparent that near-total state control of the economy does not work.
- But for Fidel to acknowledge the fact could be compared to Napoleon musing that the march on Moscow was not, on reflection, a great success.
- "Frankly, I have been somewhat amazed by Fidel's new frankness," said Stephen Wilkinson, a Cuba expert at the London Metropolitan University. "This is the latest of a series of recent utterances that strike me as being indicative of a change in the old man's character."
- The remark should not, however, be interpreted as a condemnation of socialism, added Wilkinson. "That is clearly not what he means, but it is an acknowledgement that the way in which the Cuban system is organised has to change. It is an implicit indication also that he has abdicated governing entirely to Raúl, who has argued this position for some time. We can now expect a lot more changes and perhaps more rapid changes as a consequence."
- Raúl has said Cuba cannot blame the decades-old US embargo for all its economic ills and that serious reforms are needed. Fidel's statement could bolster the president's behind-the-scenes tussle with apparatchiks resisting change, said Sweig.
- Agriculture has been a big disappointment. The lush Caribbean island of 11 million people could be a major food exporter but central planning and state-run co-operatives have produced chronic shortages, prompting an old, bitter joke that the revolution's three biggest failures are breakfast, lunch and dinner. Raúl's reforms are not going well: food production fell 7.5% in the first half of the year.
- Once propped up by the Soviet Union, Cuba's lifeline is now cheap oil from Venezuela, where President Hugo Chávez considers Fidel a mentor.
- Chávez swiftly followed another surprise statement of Castro's – accusing Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of antisemitism – with an announcement that he would meet Venezuelan Jewish leaders. The move was "a direct result of Fidel's statement", according to Goldberg.
Marxist reforms?
The remarks about Cuban economic policy are not the only surprise statements made recently by the former Cuban leader. Others include:
The remarks about Cuban economic policy are not the only surprise statements made recently by the former Cuban leader. Others include:
- • He feels responsible for the "great injustice" of the persecution of Cuban homosexuals in the 1970s.
- • He laments Jewish suffering over the centuries, defends Israel's right to exist and accuses Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of antisemitism.
- • He appears to regret urging the Soviet Union to nuke the US during the 1962 missile crisis. "After I've seen what I've seen, and knowing what I know now, it wasn't worth it all."
God to call off the Quran burning but lets OUR Flag burn
Pastor nixes Quran-burning, claims NYC mosque deal is ?
Pakistani people burn a U.S. flag while rallying in reaction to a small American church's plan to burn copies of the Quran in Multan, Pakistan on Thursday, Sept. 9, 2010.
By ANTONIO GONZALEZ (AP)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The anti-Muslim leader of a tiny Florida church backed off his threat to burn the Quran, defusing an international firestorm Thursday after he said he was promised that a planned Islamic center and mosque would be moved away from New York's ground zero. The imam planning the center, however, quickly denied such a deal.
The Rev. Terry Jones had been under intense pressure to abandon his plan to burn the Quran on Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. President Barack Obama urged him to listen to "those better angels" and give up his "stunt," saying it would endanger U.S. troops and give Islamic terrorists a recruiting tool. Defense Secretary Robert Gates took the extraordinary step of calling Jones personally.
Standing outside his 50-member Pentecostal church, the Dove Outreach Center, alongside Imam Muhammad Musri, the president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, Jones said he relented when Musri assured him that the New York mosque will be moved.
Jones had never invoked the mosque controversy as a reason for his planned protest. He cited his belief that the Quran is evil because it espouses something other than biblical truth and incites radical, violent behavior among Muslims.
But he said Thursday that that he prayed about the decision and concluded that if the mosque was moved, it would be a sign from God to call off the Quran burning.
"We are, of course, now against any other group burning Qurans," Jones said. "We would right now ask no one to burn Qurans. We are absolutely strong on that. It is not the time to do it."
Musri thanked Jones and his church members "for making the decision today to defuse the situation and bring to a positive end what has become the world over a spectacle that no one would benefit from except extremists and terrorists" who would use it to recruit future radicals.
After the news conference, however, Musri told The Associated Press there is no deal to move the mosque. He said there was only an agreement for him and Jones to travel to New York and meet Saturday with the imam overseeing plans to build a mosque near ground zero.
"I told the pastor that I personally believe the mosque should not be there, and I will do everything in my power to make sure it is moved," Musri said. "But there is not any offer from there (New York) that it will be moved. All we have agreed to is a meeting, and I think we would all like to see a peaceful resolution."
In New York, the leader of the Islamic center project, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, said he was surprised by Jones' announcement.
"I am glad that Pastor Jones has decided not to burn any Qurans. However, I have not spoken to Pastor Jones or Imam Musri," Rauf said in a statement. "We are not going to toy with our religion or any other. Nor are we going to barter. We are here to extend our hands to build peace and harmony."
Jones later insisted that he had struck a deal, without suggesting that he would go back to his Quran-burning plan in light of the imams' denials. He said Musri told him that officials would guarantee that the mosque would be moved.
"We are canceling the event because we have agreed, I take him at his word, he has agreed to move the Ground Zero mosque," Jones said. "I verified that three or four times with witnesses. I trust that man who gave me that. I believe he is a man of integrity, a man of his word, I do not believe that he lied to me."
Jones said that if the mosque is not moved, "then I think Islam is a very poor example of religion. I think that would be very pitiful. I do not expect that."
His decision was made after a firestorm of criticism from leaders around the world. The pope and several other Christian leaders were among those urging him to reconsider his plans, which generated a wave of anger across the Muslim world. In Afghanistan, hundreds of Afghans burned an American flag and chanted "Death to the Christians" to protest the planned Quran burning.
Obama told ABC's "Good Morning America" in an interview aired Thursday that Jones' plan "is completely contrary to our values as Americans."
"And as a very practical matter, I just want him to understand that this stunt that he is talking about pulling could greatly endanger our young men and women who are in uniform," Obama said.
Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell confirmed that Gates called Jones about 4 p.m. EST Thursday — shortly before the pastor's announcement. During the "very brief" call, Gates expressed "his grave concern that going forward with this Quran burning would put the lives of our forces at risk, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan," Morrell said.
Morrell said earlier that the decision to issue a personal appeal was not easy because it could provoke other extremists "who, all they want, is a call from so-and-so." After Gates' call to Jones, Morrell said the secretary's "fundamental baseline attitude about this is that if that phone call could save the life of one man or woman in uniform it was a call worth placing."
The cancellation was welcomed in Gainesville, a city of 125,000 anchored by the sprawling University of Florida campus. At least two dozen Christian churches, Jewish temples and Muslim organizations in the city had mobilized to plan inclusive events, including Quran readings at services, as a counterpoint to Jones' protest.
Jones' Dove Outreach Center is independent of any denomination. It follows the Pentecostal tradition, which teaches that the Holy Spirit can manifest itself in the modern day. Pentecostals often view themselves as engaged in spiritual warfare against satanic forces.
The pastor was not the only person to inject confusion into the debate over the New York mosque, which is planned to go up two blocks north of the trade center site. Donald Trump, who made a fortune in real estate, offered Thursday to buy out a major investor in the real estate partnership that controls the site where the 13-story Islamic center would be built.
Opponents argue it is insensitive to families and memories of Sept. 11 victims to build a mosque so close to where Islamic extremists flew planes into the World Trade Center and killed nearly 2,800 people. Proponents support the project as a reflection of religious freedom and diversity and say hatred of Muslims is fueling the opposition.
In a letter released Thursday by Trump's publicist, Trump told Hisham Elzanaty that he would buy his stake in one of the two lower Manhattan buildings involved in the project for 25 percent more than whatever he paid — if the mosque is moved at least five blocks farther away from the trade center site.
"I am making this offer as a resident of New York and citizen of the United States, not because I think the location is a spectacular one (because it is not), but because it will end a very serious, inflammatory, and highly divisive situation that is destined, in my opinion, to only get worse," the letter said.
Elzanaty's response: No sale.
"This is just a cheap attempt to get publicity and get in the limelight," said his lawyer, Wolodymyr Starosolsky.
He added that the offer's lack of seriousness is evident in the price.
The group collectively paid $4.8 million for the building Trump offered to buy. The other is being leased.
Starosolsky said the real estate partnership had already received two offers in the ballpark of $20 million.
"He knows what the value of the building is. If he were really interested in buying the building, he would have come forward with at least $20 million," Starosolsky said.
Starosolsky added that Elzanaty remains committed to the idea of having a mosque built on at least part of the property.
It's unclear how much control Elzanaty has over the property, which is owned by an eight-member investment group led by El-Gamal's real estate company, Soho Properties.
El-Gamal said Soho Properties controls the site, but didn't elaborate. His spokesman said he couldn't answer questions about the investment team or ownership issues.
In a pair of interviews with the AP this week, Elzanaty said he had invested in the site with an intention of making a profit and was willing to half the land for private development, and maybe all of it if a Muslim group doesn't come forward with enough money to build the mosque.
The original “Burn the Quran Day”A church in Florida is protesting the growing influence of Islam by staging a “Burn the Koran” Day. But is this the first day of its kind? In fact, is today’s Quran the Quran that Muhammad intended his followers to have? Let’s take a look at the evidence!
Political correctness has gone mad!!!!!!!!!
Political correctness has gone mad, it’s worked its way into society and now it’s attacking our society from within. What’s the main reason for it all? Well I’ll tell you, there are only three real reasons for this totalitarian shift towards a dystopian state of depressing seriousness. First of all, the majority of PC rules and regulations are created by humourless sycophantic politicians, aiming to win votes by appeasing other pro-nanny state voters. These voters want everything to be regimented and strictly controlled to avoid mirth of any sort or kind. Secondly, Britain is getting older, it’s a fact that you can’t deny, and let’s face there is a huge majority of old people and most of them appear to be bitter, grumpy and have an instant dislike of young people, due to their rampant vitality (on a side note have you ever noticed how rude old people are? They queue for the bus like they are in a scrum, like it’s there god-given divine right to be first on). It is this demographic that councillors and politicians are attempting to target by passing ‘you can’t do this or say that’ laws.
In an effort to appease killjoys across the country the government is continuing to cracking down on fun. They don’t want you to have fun, they want you to work, pay your taxes, go home and stay off the street, and it’s as simple as that. The third reason is perhaps more valid, but no less insidious and damaging to our civil liberties and to the development of our culture. Tolerance, it’s all about tolerance. Rather than trying to teach our society to be more tolerant of others, the government is trying to enforce it through legislation. People should be tolerant of other beliefs and opinions, but as the wise creators of South Park understand, tolerance doesn’t mean you have to like something, it means that you just have to put up with it.
Sometimes you are encouraged about our country's future when you see something like this.
Specifically, there is an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.
This year's term was:
"Political Correctness."
The winner wrote:
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
(This guy has nailed it.)

But some people don't get it!!!!
Obama Don't get!!!!
Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist, philosopher and author who is widely regarded as one of the most influential and best known scientists and intellectuals of all time. A German-Swiss Nobel laureate, he is often regarded as the father of modern physics. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". He get it!!!
New York is starting to get it!!!!!!!!
Do we get it yet!!!!
Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden He has gotten it it the past!!!!
A blind squirrel is more likely to find a nut if there are a lot of blind squirrels
That sounded cruel, let me rephrase that, a vision-impaired squirrel is more likely to find a nut if a lot of vision-imparied squirrels.
Political correctness. It has taken our workplace and turned it into a bunch if bobble headed agreeing cogs that call something junk when it’s junk ! How many times have you been in a meeting and people all agree with someone even thought outside the meeting they know perfectly well that the person who presented it is up to his chin in flowing mud.
One of my favorite TV shows of all time are the early episodes of Sanford & Son. Redd Foxx was excellent as a curmudgeon owner of a junk shop in East LA. On one episode Fred Sanford goes to help his son Lamont fight a parking ticket in court. As he questions the police officer the following exchange takes place:
Fred: Why don’t you arrest some white drivers ?
Police Officer: I do
Fred: Well where are they ? There’s enough niggers in here to make a Tarzan movie !
Upon which everyone in the court starts to break up and yell. Recently I saw a replay of that episode and they had edited out that seen. I mean give me a break !
Then there is the comedic genius of Richard Pryor. He often uses the “N” word when telling stories and his stories are pure fun and genius (Just listen to Mudbone). Now we can’t use the “N” word or other words for that matter because they offend ? Since when have we become so sensitive that we need to be protected from words ? Sure words when used with hate can stir a crowd to violence but we have to be stronger than allow any word to hurt us.
I hate the era of political correctness. It holds us back from what we really want to say and who we truly hare. Bring on the blind squirrels..natures speed bumps.
Political Correctness Going to Extremes September 9, 2010
Frankly, we don't blame the unidentified Microsoft Corp. employee who banned a West Virginia man from playing in online Xbox Live events managed by the company. The worker was just living up to what he thought society expects of him - political correctness to a fault.
He was at fault, obviously, in suspending 26-year-old Josh Moore's gaming privileges.
It seems Moore, in setting up his gaming profile, noted he lives in Fort Gay, W.Va. A Microsoft online gaming monitor decided that might be offensive to homosexuals. Never mind that Moore's hometown is Fort Gay (no one seems to know with certainty how it got the name).
It took Moore days to straighten out the mess. He talked to a customer service representative, who didn't even try to verify Moore's claim. Finally, a Microsoft executive found out. He promises to apologize.
"Gay" does not have to be a reference to homosexuals, of course. Lots of people have the name. Lots of places, including at least three in West Virginia, include the word in their names (Fort Gay in Wayne County, Gay in Jackson County and Mount Gay in Logan County). And the word's primary meaning is "joyous and lively."
But many Americans have become so sensitive to political correctness that their knee-jerk reaction is to assume some words and phrases should be offensive to others. Tolerating that attitude is both absurd and, possibly, dangerous.

Black America Has Great leader's Like Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson
Black America Has Great leader's Like
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.
Why do I not know about them?
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.
Why do I not know about them?
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson is the most courageous, outspoken critic of the civil-rights establishment in America today. Often referred to as the “antidote to Jesse Jackson”, Rev. Peterson is the author of the “National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson” event. Rev. Peterson is also the man behind the National Boycott of the NAACP, believing the organization to be nothing more than a tool of the largely “elite, socialist” Democratic Party.
Rev. Peterson is the Founder and President of the national nonprofit organization BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, whose purpose is “Rebuilding the Family By Rebuilding the Man”. He is also the author of the book, “SCAM: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America”. Rev. Peterson is also a TV host and highly sought-after speaker.
Jesse is frequently seen on major TV networks such as Fox, CNN, and MSNBC, consistently leaving his liberal counterpart in knots. His unflappable, can-do attitude and absolute commitment to truth are the perfect medicine for a value-challenged society.
An exceptionally charismatic speaker, Rev. Peterson is a hit among audiences nationwide. Among his popular titles: “Rebuilding the Family By Rebuilding the Man”, “From Rage To Responsibility”, “Stop Reparations Now!”, “We Shall Overcome Civil Rights Leaders”, “Abortion: Black Genocide”, and “Government’s War On the Family”.
Character is the most important word in Rev. Peterson’s vocabulary. Born on a plantation in Midway, Alabama, Rev. Peterson is this generation’s Booker T. Washington. Jesse practices what he preaches, operating the BOND Home For Boys, a character building after-school program, and many other programs and activities that benefit men and their families. His organization is a prototype for a bold new approach to solving our ever-increasing urban crisis.
Rev. Peterson is an advisory board member of Project 21, a national black conservative public policy organization.
Is there 1 white man who has any courage?
By Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson
And I sought for a man among them, that should … stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
– Ezekiel 22:30
Why are white Americans afraid to speak truth to black Americans?
Let me start with a tale of two Michaels:
Michael Richards, the "Seinfeld" co-star who lashed out at a black heckler, repeatedly calling the man a "ni---r," has since made numerous apologies to black Americans.
He apologized on David Letterman's "Late Show" – but that forum wasn't "black enough" – so Richards was forced to grovel on Jesse Jackson's radio show.
The black man Richards insulted has retained Gloria Allred. Next month, he will express his contrition in front of a retired judge who will determine how much money Richards should dole out for hurling the "N" word.
Then there's the Nov. 25 shooting in New York City, where NYPD officers shot Sean Bell, a 23-year-old black man outside a strip club in Queens when he tried to ram an officer with his car. The incident has outraged Rev. Al Sharpton ("the Riot King") and other black leaders.
Sharpton is threatening to lead a massive pre-Christmas march along Manhattan's Fifth Avenue – stating, "We're going shopping for justice this Christmas."
Let's not forget that Sharpton gave us the Tawana Brawley hoax and provoked the Crown Heights riot in the Hasidic (Jewish) section of Brooklyn.
Why should anyone listen to this hypocrite?
After the police shooting, Michael (the other Michael) Bloomberg, the mayor of NYC, met with Sharpton and other black racist agitators and prematurely criticized the deadly shooting, calling it "inexplicable" and "unacceptable." Can you say "cave"?
What has happened to white men in this country?
White men used to be tough. John Wayne, Charlton Heston and Ronald Reagan exemplified a strong male image. But because of the successful attack – by secular progressives like NOW (National Organization of Women who Hate Men), the ACLU, homosexual groups and liberal black leaders – most white males have been emasculated.
Years of scapegoating and charges of racism have intimidated whites to the point that they no longer speak out on issues concerning race and morality.
After Dr. King's assassination in 1968, Jesse Jackson showed up in front of the news cameras holding a bloody sweater. This is all it took for him to be promoted by the elite media as the "heir apparent" to King.
This despite Jackson's repeated falling out with Dr. King's organization, the SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference).
In 1971, Ralph Abernathy, King's successor at SCLC, suspended Jackson for "administrative improprieties and repeated acts of violation of organizational policy." Jackson then left the group and started Operation PUSH.
The mainstream media keep wicked black leaders like Jackson in power. Whenever there's a racial issue in this country Jackson or Sharpton are on the airwaves to "blame whitey."
The media and false black leaders succeeded in changing the allegiance of many black Americans – from a pro-family, pro-God people to a government-dependant people as we witnessed during Katrina.
White people are angry at Jackson and the phony civil-rights leaders who have made a living off of blaming them for the problems of blacks. And they're angry about the double standard when it comes to racial issues – and for not being allowed to openly express their disagreements with blacks.
But they remain silent.
This has resulted in the phenomenon of white fear – fear of criticizing blacks – no matter how corrupt, immoral or evil the perpetrator.
Since whites are not allowed to express themselves, they either cower down like Michael Bloomberg, or they lash out in anger like Michael Richards. Then Jesse Jackson swoops in and points to the overreaction as evidence of white racism – to exploit the situation for profit.
White Americans need to stand up for truth with strength and patience. If we can find white people with courage, we can change this country – and the tale of two Michaels would have a happy ending.
What is courage? Well, I can tell you what courage is not: 1) Courage is not resenting blacks and complaining to your white friends behind closed doors. 2) It's not tolerating black misconduct, and 3) Courage is not adopting the divisive, politically correct term "African American."
As for black Americans, they need to repudiate their "leaders" and let go of past grievances, lest they self-destruct.
It will take decent whites and blacks to come together to live out the promise of Dr. King's dream. Then, America will finally become the land of the free and the home of the brave!

New Orleans Went Under--A Black Man ' s Comments
Carefully read the whole article. You ' ll be amazed at this guy!!!
I don't know the man who wrote this, but I looked at his picture and read it with my mouth hanging open. He says things here that no white man could ever write and keep
his job as a writer.
Say a hurricane is about to destroy the city you live in. Two questions:
What would you do?
What would you do if you were black?
Sadly, the two questions don ' t have the same answer.
To the first: Most of us would take our families out of that city quickly to
protect them from danger. Then, able-bodied men would return to help others in
need, as wives and others cared for children, elderly, infirm and the like.
For better or worse, Hurricane Katrina has told us the answer to the second
question. If you ' re black and a hurricane is about to destroy your city, you'll
probably wait for the governm ent to save you.
This was not always the case. Prior to 40 years ago, such a pathetic performance by
the black community in a time of crisis would have been inconceivable. The first
response would have come from black men. They would take care of their families,
bring them to safety, and then help the rest of the community. Then local
government would come in.
No longer. When 75 percent of New Orleans residents had left the city, it was
primarily immoral, welfare-pampered blacks that stayed behind and waited for the
government to bail them out. This, as we know, did not turn out good results.
Enter Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan. Jackson and Farrakhan laid blame on' racist President Bush. Farrakhan actually proposed the idea that the government blew up a levee so as to kill blacks and save whites. The two demanded massive
governmental spending to rebuild New Orleans, above and beyond the federal
government's proposed $60 billion. Not only that, these two were positioning
themselves as the gatekeepers to supervise the dispersion of funds. Perfect: Two
of the most dishonest elite blacks in America, 'overseeing' billions of
dollars. I wonder where that money will end up.
Of course, if these two were really serious about laying blame on government, they
should blame the local one. Responsibility to perform legally and practically
fell first on the mayor of New Orleans . We are now all familiar with Mayor Ray
Nagin the black who likes to yell at President Bush for failing to do Nagin ' s
job. The facts, unfortunately, do not support Nagin ' s wailing. As the Washington
Times puts it, ' recent reports show [Nagin] failed to follow through on his own
city 's emergency-response plan, which acknowledged that thousands of the city ' s
poorest residents would have no way to evacuate the city. '
One wonders how there was ' no way ' for these people to evacuate the city. We have
photographic evidence telling us otherwise. You ' ve probably seen it by now t he
photo showing 2,000 parked school buses, unused and underwater. How much
planning does it require to put people on a bus and leave town, Mayor Nagin?
Instead of doing the obvious, Mayor Nagin (with no positive contribution from Gov.
Kathleen Blanco, the other major leader vested with responsibility to address
the hurricane disaster) loaded remaining new Orleans residents into the
Superdome and the city ' s convention center. We know how that plan turned out.
About five years ago, in a debate before the National Association of Black
Journalists, I stated that if whites were to just leave the United States and
let blacks run the country, they would turn America into a ghetto within 10
years. The audience, shall we say, disagreed with me strongly. Now I have to
disagree with me. I gave blacks too much credit. It took a mere three days for
blacks to turn the Superdome and the convention center into ghettos, rampant
with theft, rape and murder.
President Bush is not to blame for the rampant immorality of blacks. Had New Orleans '
black community taken action, most would have been out of harm ' s way. But most
were too lazy, immoral and trifling to do anything productive for themselves.
All Americans must tell blacks this truth. It was blacks ' moral poverty not their
material poverty that cost them dearly in New Orleans . Farrakhan, Jackson, and
other race hustlers are to be repudiated for they will only perpetuate this
problem by stirring up hatred and applauding moral corruption. New Orleans , to
the extent it is to be rebuilt, should be remade into a dependency-free, morally
strong city where corruption is opposed and success is applauded. Blacks are
obligated to help themselves and not depend on the government to care for them.
We are all obligated to tell them so.
