Media Plays up Pro-Honor Killing Demo in response to Jessica Mokdad Human Rights Conference on Honor Killing

12

More of the blatant pro-sharia bias in the media. When we called a conference in order to increase awareness of honor killings and gendercide under the sharia, the only attention the media paid was to the complicit family whining that Jessica's name was being used. Such grief — so touching the way so many Muslims go into "protect Islam" mode and not "protect our girls."

Despite the media bash and the pro-honor killing protests, our conference is overbooked — we could not accommodate all who wish to attend.

So enraged are some members of the Muslim community over our attempts to protect Muslim girls who wish to live free, they are holding an "islamophobia" town hall. That's right — against honor killings? Well then, you are a racistislamophobic anti-Muslim bigot.

Of course when the media got wind of a pro-honor killing demo, they were all over it like sharks to chum, i.e. Michigan Radio has this: Dearborn conferences to address honor killings, Islamophobia.

Opposing honor killings is "islamophobia."

Notice how all these articles describe the pro-honor killing demo, but none report on our agenda or contacted me for comment. We chose Dearborn because Jessica lived there and April 29th is the anniversary of her honor killing. More here.

(Check out the comments for this article — you can fool some of the people….)

Rejecting Islamophobia: Town hall counters 'Jessica Mokdad Human Rights Conference' in Dearborn MLive

Dearborn, home to one of the nation's largest concentrations of Arab Americans, once again will become a focal point for debate over the practice and persecution of Islam in the west.

Pamela Geller, conservative activist and co-founder of Stop Islamization of America, is scheduled to host the "Jessica Mokdad Human Rights Conference" from the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Dearborn on Sunday at 5 p.m.

The event is named after a 20-year-old woman fatally shot by her stepfather last year in Warren. Initial reports suggested Rahim Alfetlawi shot Mokdad because he believed she had strayed from Islam, but prosecutors have since said that religion did not play a role.

Despite opposition from family members who say Mokdad's murder has nothing to do with Islam, Geller has refused to rename the conference, suggesting an attempt to cover up what she continues to call an "honor killing."

"Unlike those closest to her, we are going to honor Jessica's memory and stand up against the brutal practice that took her life," Geller said in a statement announcing the conference.

Local leaders say the conference is misleading and argue that Dearborn has become a convenient target for anti-Muslim groups, pointing to recent protests led by activist Pastor Terry Jones.

To counter Geller's conference, The Arab American Institute and partners have scheduled a competing town hall on Sunday titled "Rejecting Islamophobia: A Community Stand Against Hate." It is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. at the Doubletree Hotel in Dearborn.

"This is clearly not the first time our community in Michigan has had to deal with a hate group," AAI President Jim Zogby said in a statement. "Despite repeated efforts to target Arab Americans and American Muslims, the community has remained resilient and poised, sometimes choosing to ignore the fervor.

"This group we cannot ignore and this is the time to stand up and make our voices loud and clear in opposition to the politics of division and bigotry."

Trying to save the lives of Muslim girls is bigotry. And the media laps it up like so much poison-laced candy. 

Anyone who opposes our human rights conference on honor killing supports honor killing, gendercide, and the subjugation and oppression of women. The Jessica Mokdad Human Rights Conference will be held at the Hyatt Hotel in Dearborn on Sunday the 29th from 5pm to 8pm. After bowing to Islamic supremacist pressure and canceling a speech I was supposed to give at the Hyatt in Texas, the Hyatt reversed its stance, recovered its understanding of the American principle of free speech, apologized and offered AFDI space in a Hyatt for a future Conference to make it up to our human rights organization. I chose the Hyatt in Dearborn to stand in solidarity there with girls who are in danger of being victimized like Jessica Mokdad.

I guess Islam gets a pass even on murder over someone being too Western and not Islamic enough, because they are so devout, devoutly antiJewish and antiIsreal like the rest of this Nazi led, corporate globalist nightmare that has infiltrated America. Whatever the Muslims say is deemed right because they hate Jews and that is the secret goal of all of the power hungry globalists who want to deny the presence of a just God on earth in the affairs of mankind.
Ha ha. He who laughs last, laughs best. God is going to destroy all of the evil doers and liars and murderers one day. These Muslims are deluded and trapped in a cult but what is the excuse of people in a country that should know better? Why are they allowing and supporting this? It can only be because they are actually traitors to our nation and its sovereignty.
There might have been people who practiced Islam at some point who ere not this nuts, but just like the Nazi take on Christianity, the whole thing has taken the wrong tack. The only reason that America is free is because it upholds Christian ideals of self determination and grace through charity and fear of the God of Isreal. So why in the world are Americans abandoning this heritage to honor a foreign religion’s god who promotes mental and spiritual slavery and evil and killing?
People will do anything to get back at the allegedly dirty Jews who they secretly hate. They will even lay their necks out to their enemies just for the thrill of beating the Jew and getting away with it without being called a bad person. Ha ha. God will repay the evildoers for what they have sown. Keep sowing hate and you will soon live in a cult of hate. God will not be mocked.
God never stops judging the Jews. He either blesses them or curses them and everyone can see it, even the humanists who would rather think they are the boss of this universe.

I just don’t get how people can be so blind! I’m not talking about the Arab American Institute or the SPLC, we all know where they’re coming from. But someone such as that reporter. He adds a statement proping up the SPLC? Does he not know at all what he’s reporting on? Aren’t reporters supposed to investigate, you know, dig a little? He seems nothing short of a stenographer! Personally, I think all these reporters are afraid…afraid to say anything negative, or even seriously question followers of Islam. Then they wonder why there are conferences such as this one.
I wish you all the best tomorrow. I know you don’t need luck because you have courage and the truth on your side.

“Horor Killings ” are a cruel, hienous, heartless,evil pratice which comes as result of a cruel, hienous heartless evil religion, which is Islam .With that in mind words of Jesus very much apply. For Jesus warned about the comming of men such as Muhammad as well as the cruel things that come out of the religion he started,Islam with many evil fritts that are a result of it. One of them beinj “honor killings.” For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophet which come to you in sheep’s clothing.but inwardly they are ravening wolfs.Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grape ofthorns, or figs of thisles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit:but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,nither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” Matthew 7:15-17. [KJV]
In ohter words “By their fruits ye shall know them.” Thus anyone with eye to see is able to tell what kinds of friut Islam produces.

Islam is a religion of misogyny. This has been made known to the world by how in Islamic counriies Muslim males very oppress their females in many different ways. “Honor killing” being one of them. Furhhermore , in the book written by Brigtte Gabriel THEY MUST BE STOPPED. pages 171,172. She wrote “The shocking reality is that most Muslin men including those educated in the West have no objection to honor killings and the degradation of women in their countries. Across the Muslim world, even in moderate Islamic countries, women’s rights are almost nonexistent…Women in Islam are considered, unclean, deemed infefior even to dirt.”

Detroit media does not report all sides about the religion of ‘peace’ Only when
a scandal erupts (such as the firing of Ms. Awada Mullen from Metro Airport) or when
anti-jihad outsiders come into Michigan does islam get spoken of critically at all. And then it’s only to report what the outsiders are saying.
One of the first things that occurs is an ‘interfaith’ gets staqed and seems to always feature that one fat black pastor, i can’t recall his name but surely he’ll be visible somewhere tomorrow.

I feel sorry for the charlies who have to work with all the dhimwits in Detoit media, and I sure hope that someone will have the courage to report honestly and without ‘unity’ with those who live and school separately and speak their own language which is not English. Take a drive down Warren Ave. and most signs are in Arabic. There is no ‘unity’ with the rest of us, and any suggestion that there is is pure hypocrisy, and yet ‘unity’ is what the ‘interfaiths’ are called. There is no unity until there is trouble for the muslims, then out come the dhimwits!

I believe there is hope! People are starting to use their brains even in liberal forums. They are starting to use the right vocabulary, which means they have been reading about Islam, the European situation, etc.
It’s good people! Let’s keep up the good work!

The MSM are walking around in blinders that force them to see any criticism of any “minority” as “racism”–and racism is bad. If Bill Cosby caught some disease that lightened his skin, he would be tarred and feathered as “racist” for his criticisms of the less attractive sides of African-American culture.
Muslims are now identified as a “minority”. Characters like Malcolm X made it a respectable part of the struggle for just treatment of African-Americans, even though as Malcolm X converted to Islam, Muslims were enslaving other black people in Mauretania and Sudan, and Saudi Arabia, where Malcolm X wrote his paean to Islamic “brotherhood”, was being given a lot of diplomatic arm-twisting to make it abolish slavery on paper (although the institution remains in real life).

All I see in these articles is hate and ignorance… Supposedly you want to help the poor Muslim women, your trying to free them… Free us from what? All you do is pity us. You don’t care. If you really cared you would go help the women whom really need help! Whom are being killed and raped in Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan, etc… by the military! You want to help us yet you treated us like animals when you wouldn’t even let us into the conference that your claim was to help Jessica Mokdad. You totally disregard her families feelings when they don’t want there daughters name to be used for hate. You spread false propaganda to gullible people… You know the truth and Jessica’s murder was not committed because it was an honor killing. Her father was sexually abusing her and he shot her in fear that she would go to the police. You also say that the press were like sharks…. haha thats really funny cause there were barely any press there and you wouldn’t even let one camera in. Because your embarrassed of letting people see the “ugly truth.” I don’t blame you. You hate Islam and Muslims thats the reason for everything you do, and your trying to make it look like you care about Muslim women. This statement, coming from me, a Muslim woman, is saying to please stop spreading hate. Im not oppressed, nor am I controlled. I love God, I love my religion, I love dressing modestly. Everything I do as a Muslim woman is for God, not anyone else.
