AIM takes aim at sharia enforcement in Seattle

Cliff Kincaid has a great piece on the latest act of submission to Islam in Seattle. The dhimmedia has been largely silent on those steamrolling over our freedoms and national security. If you want to help get these ads up, contribute here to [email protected]

"FBI Counterterror Ads Censored in Seattle" Cliff Kincaid, AIM, July 19, 2013

The Rolling Stone cover photo
of Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been the subject of countless
news stories because people across the ideological spectrum have rightly
objected to this magazine’s glorification of the Islamist killer. But
an even bigger scandal is unfolding in Seattle, Washington, as radical
Muslims working with members of the Democratic Party and the ACLU have
forced the FBI to take down bus ads depicting photos of 16 of the
world’s Most Wanted Terrorists because some people may perceive the
jihadists to be Muslims.

These ads could save lives by leading
to the capture of deadly and dangerous terrorists with ties to foreign
terrorist organizations.

The FBI had pointed out that Seattle,
the first city in the United States targeted for the campaign, had a
population “that travels and has connections internationally, which
makes it an effective area for the pilot program,” according to a local story about the decision to drop the ads.

The dropping of the ads can only reduce the possibility of some of these global terrorists being brought to justice.

In this case, the liberal media with a national audience have been mostly silent. It has only been a local story.

Yet, whatever Rolling Stone may say
about Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston bomber is in custody and is no
threat to anyone, while the terrorists on the bus ads are still on the loose, some of them perhaps hiding in America itself.

Never one to avoid a fight with the global jihad and its lackeys, Pamela Geller of the American Freedom Defense Initiative
is calling attention to the FBI’s decision to cancel the bus ads after
radical Muslim groups and “the politicians in their pockets” objected.
“Please help us stand against this politically correct madness,” Geller
said. Her American Freedom Defense Initiative is raising money to put the ads back up on the buses.

The “politicians in their pockets” included Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA), who wrote a letter to FBI director Robert Mueller asking that the ads be removed, claiming they were offensive to Muslims. 

Geller calls McDermott a “dhimmi,”a term referring to a non-Muslim who is subservient to Muslim conquest and control.

The ads that McDermott objected to
show the faces of the terrorists and offer monetary awards leading to
their capture. They were placed by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force
and launched through the State Department’s “Rewards for Justice” campaign.

The “Rewards for Justice” website says
it has paid more than $100 million “to over 70 people who provided
information that prevented international terrorist attacks or helped
bring to justice those involved in prior acts.”

McDermott has a long history of pandering to radical Muslim groups and received
the public-official-of-the-year award from the Seattle chapter of the
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in 2004. CAIR is an
affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood, and is part of a lawsuit against
the NSA’s surveillance of foreign terrorist organizations and their
American agents.

According to a story about McDermott
getting the award, Samia El-Moslimany, CAIR vice chair, also announced
“tremendous news” at the same time—that the local Democratic Party had
just voted into its platform a commitment to “withhold U.S. tax dollars
from Israel while it is in violation of international law.”

“If McDermott wanted the FBI to leave
the Muslims off the Most Wanted Terrorists ad, he’d first have to
convince Muslims to stop committing terror attacks in the name of
Islam,” Geller said. “But instead, he succeeded in getting the FBI to
remove the ads. The FBI caved to this ridiculous imposition of Sharia
blasphemy laws and political correctness.”

Geller continued: “And that means that
we’re going to have to do their job for them. We’re taking it upon
ourselves to alert the public to the nature and magnitude of the terror
threat. At our own expense, we’re going to run the same ad on Seattle
buses.”

McDermott became known as “Baghdad Jim”
in 2008 when it was revealed that Saddam Hussein’s intelligence agency
had secretly financed a trip to Iraq for McDermott and two other
legislators during the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion.

The controversy over the FBI bus ads
began soon after they went up. The Muslim Association of Puget Sound
(MAPS) demanded and held a meeting with the FBI, the U.S. Attorney’s
office and a member of the Department of Homeland Security. Jeff
Siddiqui of MAPS said,
“I spoke with a number of people who were at this meeting in which they
discussed this bus ad and, as far as I can gather, everybody except for
the FBI agreed this ad was very damaging to Muslims.” Finally, he says
the FBI agreed to take the ads down.

Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn also joined in the campaign against the ads, reporting
that after they were launched the week of June 4 on the side of the
city buses, “many members of our community were dismayed and decided to
act.”

He explained, “Arsalan Bukhari of the
Council on American-Islamic Relations was an early voice raising
concerns about these ads. Congressman Jim McDermott wrote a letter
protesting the program, as did I, and King County Council member Rod
Dembowski was working to get the ads removed as soon as possible.”

Both McGinn and Dembowski are Democrats, like McDermott.

McGinn said that CAIR’s Bukhari
“worked with the ACLU of Washington State” to convene a meeting that
eventually led to the State Department’s “Rewards for Justice” program
officer, Tim Corso, acknowledging “our concerns” and agreeing “to take
down this particular ad and to work with community advocates in doing
outreach in Seattle going forward.”

I don’t think the guys in the ads are muslims. Everyone knows that islam is a religion of peace. Personally, I believe they are buddhists as time magazine explained. So why are muslims complaining? Do the seattle muslims know those terrorists are muslim? How?

So the former bureau of investigation is now effectively the The Federal Bureau of Islam, self-enforcing Sharia laws. Big Zero and his minions must be proud with so much “progress”.

This story about some Israeli soldiers disgusted me.

One of the many reasons to allow the Israelis to fund their own country and pull funding from the USA to all foreign countries.
