Who Wants To Get Together To Visit A Mosque?

I wonder if we could put together a group of people to visit New York City?

We wouldn’t actually visit a mosque, just gather around outside of one.

Specifically, the mosque on 96th Street.

That is where the Muslim “Brothers Of Revolution” have set up shop.

As you will see in the video, they have picked this area to spout off their anti-American drivel, and to foster terrorism against American citizens.

And, as we here at the Freedom Medium reported back in June. the citizens of New York City are too cowardly to do anything.

These radical Islamists want to preach terrorism, I think it’s time to show them what it is like to be terrified.

Because if a few hundred patriotic Americans were to suddenly come around the corner to discuss terrorism with them, the word would gain an entirely new meaning for them.

Imagine a member, past or present, of America’s military, someone from the Oathkeepers or the Patriot Riders, or any other patriotic American walking up to these goons one-on-one, standing directly in front of him, and saying:

“OK pal, I’m an infidel. Here I am. Go ahead and terrorize me.”

So, who’s up for a road trip?

Update: The Koran, Barack Obama, And Thomas Jefferson

In recent weeks, the Obama administration has frequently made references to the possibility of reaching out to “the moderate elements of the Taliban” as a way of resolving the war in Afghanistan.

However, such a policy does bring some questions to my mind.

One of which is:

Just how do you define a “moderate” Islamic jihadist?

Because make no mistake about it, that is exactly what members of the Taliban are.

Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t have become part of the Taliban in the first place.

Perhaps a “moderate” member of the Taliban is a suicide bomber who only targets grown men, but not women and children.

President Obama obviously is not a student of history.

And he surely has no concept of warfare, otherwise he would be following one of the first rules of any conflict, which is “Know Thy Enemy.”

So in the (forlorn) hope that President Obama won’t put even more U.S. troops at risk, or further endanger the safety of all of America, we are once again offering a history lesson for the President, which we originally presented back in June:

During his recent tour of the Mid-East, President Obama made many inaccurate references as to the place of Islam in the history of modern civilization.

The fact that the majority of them were incorrect seemed to be a moot point, as the apparent point of the trip appeared to be for the President to apologize for America being such an evil country, and that now that he is in charge, American and Islamic cultures can live in peace and harmony.

And among his many miscues made in the hope of getting radical Islamists to lay down their arms and give all of America a group hug, he did get one thing right.

The fact that Thomas Jefferson kept a copy of the Koran (Qur’an) in his Presidential library.

Allah only knows why Mr. Obama would cite Jefferson’s ownership of the Koran as an attempt to show solidarity between America and the Muslim world.

Well Mr. President, I’m not quite sure how to break this news to you, but Thomas Jefferson did not have a copy of the holy book of Islam in order to learn more of the various religions of the world.

He kept it for reference!

As in an effort to learn more about his, and America’s, foes.

President Obama, as do most American’s, believe that our battle against radical Islam began with the attacks of 9-11, or perhaps with the first World Trade Center bombing.

Mr President, as you do with so many other things, once again you have the wrong idea.
This country has been fighting the fanatics who have perverted the teachings of the holy book of Islam since the time Jefferson was President, hence his ownership of the book.

For over a thousand years, Muslim pirates traveled along the coastline of Africa seizing women and young boys to sell off to slave traders.

This became a concern for America shortly after our country came into being, as after the Revolutionary War, what were now American merchant ships no longer had the protection of the Royal Navy.

Muslim pirates, under the control of an Islamist warlord who ruled Algiers, began attacking American merchant ships and enslaving their Christian crews.

These actions were leading to the the destruction of American trade in the Mediterranean, so in 1784 the Continental Congress attempted to negotiate a treaty with the four Barbary Coast States, and formed a panel with Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin as members to carry out negotiations.

John Adams held the belief that paying tribute to the pirates was the simplest way to restore the safe passage of the merchant ships. (Obama also totally twisted Adam’s statements during his speech as a means to achieving his own ends. Hope and Change is one thing, the truth is for suckers in Obama’s world.)

Jefferson,  fearing that there would be no end to the demands for tribute, disagreed, and wanted matters settled by military force.

In a negotiating session, Jefferson and Adams questioned the Algerian ambassador as to the reasons behind such hostile actions towards the United States, when there had been no previous contact between America and the Muslim world.

They received the following reply:

“Islam was founded on the laws of their Prophet, that it was written in the Quran that all nations that did not acknowledge it’s authority were sinners,that it was the right and duty of all Muslims to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Muslim who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

Where have we heard that before?

Jefferson’s recommendation of the use of force to end the piracy did not prevail, and for the next 15 years the American government paid the Muslims millions of dollars to ensure the safe passage of ships and as ransom for captured crews.

Jefferson was proven correct when he had said that the amount of money demanded would be ever-increasing, by the year 1800 the amount being paid out came to nearly 20 percent of the revenue the American government was taking in.

All of that was about to change.

Shortly after his inauguration as President, Jefferson declared that the United States would spend “Millions for defense but not one cent for tribute”, and informed Congress that he was dispatching American warships, along with a force of U.S. Marines to the Muslim Barbary Coast.

Intense naval bombardment, as well as shore raids by the Marines began to take their toll on the pirate havens.

The end of Muslim piracy was sealed when the U.S. Marines marched across the Egyptian dessert into Tripolitania, leading to the surrender of Tripoli.

This military action was the origin of the immortal verse in the Marine Corps hymn “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli…”

Jefferson knew that the majority of the followers of the Muslim faith were a peaceful people.
He also had the foresight to know that appeasement was not the solution to a conflict with any group, regardless of their national origins or religious beliefs, that declared themselves to be sworn enemies of America.

President Obama, I respectfully suggest that before you use Thomas Jefferson, or any of the other great leaders this country, as an example of anything, that you study some American history first.

Try and learn just what it is you are talking about.

After all, you did say in response to a question at a White House press conference that you like to know what you are talking about before you comment on a matter.

So why not take a break from enjoying the sound of your own voice and inform yourself beforehand.

Then perhaps, at least on one issue,  you can try telling the truth in order to make your point.

Do The Benefits Of Jihadist Training Camps In America Outweigh The Risks?

We just did a story on what we feel is the failure of the Department of Homeland Security to keep America safe.

And it generated comments from two sides of the fence, both whom claim to have experience in undercover intellegence operations.
You can read the original article and the comments here.

Of course, we have no means to verify or disprove undercover ops experience of the commenters.

One individual, going under the pseudonym Cherokee Parks, clearly understood the satirical nature of our implying that Janet Napolitano was getting her information from us.
And the point we were trying to make.
The other didn’t.

Regardless, the other person went on about how we have no idea of what is being done in order to keep America safe.
And stated that our “exaggerated journalism”  “reflects poorly on all of us.”
This individual also took the position that these jihadist training camps on American soil are common knowledge.

Let’s tackle that last one first.

After we closed up shop, Salvaterra and I went to one of our favorite spots to get a pizza and a few beers.
We are fairly well-know at this place, and we publicly asked the people there if they had ever heard of terrorist training camps here in America.
Out of roughly 40 people who were in the place, not one of them had ever heard of such a thing.

So much for exaggerated journalism.

Now, as to this person’s other position that everything that can be done is being done, we have one word:

Bull*hit!

Neither of us have any experience in intellegence gathering operations.
What we do have is common sense.

Which leads us to ask, what possible benefit is there to be gained by allowing these camps to exist?

Even if there is a CIA or FBI agent working undercover in one of these terrorist training grounds, what information is this agent likely to learn?

If the head jihadist receives word that another 9-11 style attack is forthcoming, will that person really be stupid enough to share that information with everyone in the camp?
Net gain.
Nothing.

Perhaps this person would learn of an additional training camp opening at another location.

Seeing as how the DHS doesn’t see fit to do anything as to the camps it does know about, what good does this information do?

We need someone to explain to us how in the world allowing these camps to operate right here in America is an effective strategy in keeping us safe.

Because it is our opinion that a group of terrorists who are already in this country, and could decide at any moment to leave the camp in order to kill civilians or to destroy an American city are a threat that needs to be dealt with in no uncertain terms.
James Bond tactics be damned.

And we can’t place all of the blame on Napolitano’s shoulders.

Former DHS directors Tom Ridge and Michael Chertoff are just as guilty for allowing this.

What is different now is, what do you think would would happen if say, members of a gun club or a veterans organization were to open up a similar style training camp?

Janet “you’re all potential domestic terrorists” Napolitano would call out a SWAT team and swarm the place faster than you could blink.

Of course, offending America’s veterans and offending a group of Muslim terrorists are two different things.

Again, we have no background in intellegence operations.

Therefore, we need someone to explain to us how allowing these camps to exist outweighs the dire risk that they pose.

A risk that could become a reality at any time.

The Department Of Homeland Security Finally Catches Up With The Freedom Medium

Janet Napolitano and her crew at the Department Of Homeland Security finally found us.

She must have stumbled across us, read some of our commentary, watched the Fox News videos, and started to become aware of what we have been talking about for months.

And we don’t mind her taking credit for our hard work, we just wish she had started paying attention a little sooner.

On October 12th, she made the following statements in an interview with Bloomberg TV:

“It is fair to say there are individuals in the United States who ascribe to al-Qaeda-type beliefs.”
“And so it makes information-sharing, it makes effective law enforcement and it makes the shared responsibility of law enforcement ever so important.”

Ms. Napolitano, we shared the sort of information that you are just now talking about months ago!

Take a look at updates to just two of our reports on this topic:

Back in April, we found that there are at least 35 Jihadist training camps right here in America, primarily on the eastern end of the country.
The Fox News video below outlines the practices of this movement, but our research uncovered more troubling information.

For instance, in just one example of what the government is allowing to take place on our own soil, there is a 50 acre jihadist training compound near the town of Red House in Virginia.
If you are down that way, it’s easy enough to find as there is a street sign pointing out the road to Sheikh Gilani Lane.
Sheikh Gilani is reported to be a close ally of Osama bin Laden.
Mubarak Ali Gilani is on record as having said that he wants to “purify” Islam through violent actions.

We also uncovered the fact that at all of these training camps, there is a sign identifying the groups as “The Muslims of the Americas.”
What you won’t see are any signs explaining that the name these groups use is an offshoot of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a sister agency of Al-Qaeda.

In another example, there is a terrorist training camp near Hancock, N.Y. that calls itself “Islamberg.”
It is run by Ghulam Mustafa, another individual with close ties to Osama bin Laden.
Mustafa plays an important role in Al-Qaeda’s planning and financing.

If all of this wasn’t disturbing enough, then I came across this story in the New York Post reporting how members of al-Shabab, a radical Islamic group based in Somalia that has ties to both Al Qaeda and Somali pirates, have taken 20 young men from Minnesota to fight in Somalia. You can read the story here.

The facts we uncovered, along with the information in the video, are truly alarming.
Maybe the DHS should hire someone to read reports like ours, and to watch for similar news reports like this one:

Then, in July, we did an article reporting on how nearly 500 members of Hizb-Ut-Tahrir held a convention in a Chicago-area Hilton Hotel.

Although not officially recognized as a terrorist organization by the State Department, many terrorism experts, one example of which is shown in the video appearing a little later in this article, consider them to be more of a threat to America’s security than al-Qaeda.

The man appearing in the video, Walid Phares, explains how Hizb-Ut-Tahrir trains youth between the ages of 9 to 18 in the ideology of “Khilafah”, which is a fundamental belief in the rule of Islamic law no matter what the means that may be taken to achieve it.

A spokesman for the group, Mohammad Malkawi claims that the group condemns terrorism in any form.

That statement would appear to be at odds with actions taken by some of the groups alumni, such as Khalid Skeikh Mohammed, the alleged plotter of the 9-11 attacks, to name just one.

Watch the video:

Malkawi also made the statement that the objective of the group is ”To create an Islamic state of Khilafah in the Muslim World.”

“The Muslim World.”

Last time we checked, Chicago was not the heartland of the Muslim world.

And as we said at the time, none of this will come as a surprise to our regular readers and subscribers.

And if we are paying close attention to these things, then why aren’t the people who are in charge of keeping us safe doing so?

How in the hell could Ms. Napolitano and her crew at the DHS fail to recognize that perhaps a convention of 500 supporters of a radical Islamic ideology, as well as numerous terrorist training camps scattered across America are a serious threat to the safety and security of this country?

“It is fair to say there are individuals in the United States who ascribe to al-Qaeda-type beliefs.”

Good God Almighty Janet, you’re just figuring that out NOW?

Where the hell have you been?

We have nowhere near the access to information that you do.

We have been talking about it for months, you are just coming to realize it now?

Maybe if you were one of our subscribers you wouldn’t be so far behind the curve.

OK Ms. Napolitano, we gave you the information.

Do you also need us to explain to you what your next step is?

As you said Janet, information sharing is important.

So the next time you need to know something, pay us a visit.

We are always glad to help.

And based on your statements, and by allowing these sort of things to take place on American soil, you need all the help you can get.

DHS Is Not Invited To Terrorist Convention In Obama’s Hometown

Recently, nearly 500 members of Hizb-Ut-Tahrir held a convention in a Chicago-area Hilton Hotel.

Although not officially recognized as a terrorist organization by the State Department, many terrorism experts, one example of which is shown in the video appearing a little later in this article, consider them to be more of a threat to America’s security than al-Qaeda.

The man appearing in the video, Walid Phares, explains how Hizb-Ut-Tahrir  trains youth between the ages of 9 to 18 in the ideology of “Khilafah”, which is a fundamental belief in the rule of Islamic law no matter what the means that may be taken to achieve it.

That statement would appear to be at odds with actions taken by some of the groups alumni, such as Khalid Skeikh Mohammed, the alleged plotter of the 9-11 attacks, to name just one.

Watch the video:

Malkawi also made the statement that the objective of the group is”To create an Islamic state of Khilafah in the Muslim world.”

“The Muslim world.”

Last time we checked, Chicago was not the heartland of the Muslim world.

Of course, none of this will come as a surprise to our regular readers and subscribers.

Back in April, we reported on how Jihadist terror cells have been training right here on American soil.

We pointed out that there are at least 35 of these terror cells in our country, such as a 50 acre compound in Virginia, or another camp in New York that calls itself “Islamberg”.

We also made mention of reports revealing that al-Shabab, a radical Islamic group based in Somalia that has ties to al-Qaeda as well as Somali pirates were recruting young men from Minnesota to become part of their piracy network.

All of us are left wondering where is Janet Napolitano and the rest of the Department of Homeland Security while all of this is going on.

What sort of death and destruction will have to befall America before Ms. Napolitano and her crew at the DHS recognize that perhaps a convention of 500 supporters of a radical Islamic ideology, as well as numerous terrorist training camps scattered across America are the true “potential domestic terrorists?”

Any of you wondering why a Hilton hotel would host such a convention, visit our friend Pamela at Atlas Shrugs.

How Terror Networks Can Be Run From U.S. Prisons

In order to demonstrate the danger of bringing Gitmo terrorists to U.S. prisons, it is useful to go back to September 28, 2007, to a speech given by FBI Director Robert Mueller to the Council on Foreign Relations.

Part of Director Mueller’s point that day was to drive home the interconnectedness of the terror network, and just how little connectivity it takes to operate a worldwide web of terror. Director Miller used what he called “three threads” to illustrate the situation the United States faces every day:

“In April 2005, two college students from Atlanta allegedly traveled to Washington, D.C., to record videos of potential targets, including the Capitol and the World Bank headquarters. One of them subsequently traveled to Pakistan to seek terrorist training.
“The other traveled to Bangladesh to continue his terrorism-related activities. They have since been arrested and indicted on charges of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. That’s one thread.

“Six months later, a Swedish national and a Danish man were arrested in Bosnia. They were found with plastic explosives and were preparing to bomb…Read the rest of this entry

Mr. President, Do You Have Any Clue As To WHY Thomas Jefferson Kept A Copy Of The Koran?

The Obama Administration’s Next Step In Dealing With Terrorism

I disagree with just about every policy or proposal put forth by the Obama adminsitration.

However, I still consider myself a patriotic American, and therfore want to humbly offer President Obama my advice.

Among the methods I have heard projected for dealing with terrorist harboring rogue nations such as Iran seem to me to simply be a continuation of some of the methods tried by the Bush administration.
Among them are:

United Nations resolutions

Negotiation

Diplomacy

Face-to-face dialogues

Economic sanctions

And I am sure there are many that I am leaving out.

However, as in any area of life, it is always a good idea to have a backup plan in place and ready to go, just in case your plans fail to achieve the results you are hoping for.

So with ending the threat of terrorism against the United States such a vital issue to the security, the safety, and the future of America and all of her citizens, you may want to consider the method outlined in the video below:

Islam In The American Classrooms

If you have children in grammar or high school, like most parents you are probably under the assumption that what your kids are being taught is factual, honest and unbiased.

Don’t count on it.

You may be surprised to learn that your children are only being taught part of the truth, and that some important details are being left out.

My question is, with all of their rhetoric about the separation of church and sate, how is it that the ACLU is silent on the issue of a religious sect influencing classroom studies?

Jews Should Not Be Allowed

Many of the world’s nations have condemned Israel.

They don’t feel that it is right that the Jews defend themselves.

These same folks seldom have anything bad to say about the very people that Israel is trying to defend itself from.

And many of the people who don’t condone Israel using military force are right here in the U.S.

I wonder how they would feel if they were in a similar situation.
