Dearborn Michigan: 3 Christians Arrested For Reaching out to Muslims!

*June 19, 2010*

By admin

Well, Sharia and Muslim domination,are alive and well in Dearborn Michigan. I continually hear thatMuslims in America are different, from Muslims across the world. But their actions continually show us that they are here to takeover. To make matters worse our so called leaders are aiding them.

Three Christians arrested in outreach to Muslims in Dearborn, MichiganPosted on 19. Jun, 2010 by Mark Ellis in Christian news

Three Christians were arrested today at the Arab International Festival as they shared their faith with Muslims. The three were arrested by police as they engaged in intense, but respectful dialog in which they proclaimed their faith in Christ.

*“I never thought I would see this in America,” says Steven Atkins, a resident of Toronto, Canada, who was visiting the festival and observed the incident.*

The three arrested include Dr. Nabeel Qureshi, David Woods, and Paul Rezkalla. Dr. Quereshi is co-director of Acts 17 Apologetics Ministries. He holds an MD from Eastern Virginia Medical School and an MA in Christian apologetics from Biola University.

*“When Dr. Quereshi was arrested I heard people clapping and applauding, and some said ‘Allahu Akbar,’”* Atkins said. There was a crowd of 15-20 people watching the exchange and subsequent arrest.

The festival attracts several hundred thousand Arab Americans each year, and some Christian groups find it an ideal venue for Christian outreach.

*This year, the city of Dearborn banned the distribution of Christian literature near the festival.*Some accused the city of catering to its large Muslim population when the law was passed. On June 17, a three-judge panel from the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency motion on behalf of Pastor George Saieg, allowing him to distribute literature and talk about his faith to Muslims at the festival.

“It was an intense discussion, but it was not unruly,” Atkins noted. “There was no threat of violence,” he said. “It’s becoming more restrictive here than in Canada.”

(Pojim): Blaming Muslims (Article)

Edward, I think that this goes to show how Ugandans just love to ‘have fun’ and to live and let live. If this was in some other countries, there would have been some kind of fatwa on the good police officer. By the way Mr Atepo would the butt of jokes if he was appointed to work in Lango or Acholi as his name connotes a very unsocial thing for a man, just like they used to make fun of the late MP from Lira, Alip Atepo. Ask George Okello to tell you what it means, especially in relation to animals. CheersBillie

Billie;

That is a disappointing comment from this young officer. Atepo made a remarkable dent on crimes in Tororo when he was the district CID boss there. Whenever I was home, I used stopped by his office for a chat. A very easily going fellow.

But this whole scale attack on Muslims is uncalled for, especially for a Muslim like him.

American? Non-Muslim? Unemployed? Sorry. You’re on your own in Obama’s post-American world. And if you are employed, your paying mad jizya.

From the “Terrorism Pays” file, a piece in the Salt Lake Tribune lays out a small sampling of the Obama’s favoring of the worldwide Islamic ummah over Americans. It conveniently does not tally up the [...]

[[ If there is such a word as "Idiocracy" it would apply to Islam. ]]

Liberals upset because it wasn’t Jews killed by missiles they apparently helped fire. Missiiles killed muslims. “Gaza Rights Groups Angered by Misfired Terrorist Rocket”

April 10th, 2010 No comments

I know this would take a lot of guts. A lot more than most people seem to have today. But since the terrorists in Arab occupied Gaza Israel, the land given to them by the American George Bush, who all Americans have figured out as one of the most evil of men in America’s history, have fired rockets and killed ‘muslims’, not ‘Jews’, ‘muslims’ are being killed by those terrorists, now Israel should go back into Gaza, and take it from the American supported terrorist organization ‘Hamas’.

Yes, I know America would go to war if you take Israeli troops into Israel to defend the lives of civilians from Hamas, and defend their lives from the liberals that are there helping Hamas kill people. But you all know America is already at war against Israel. So you might as well let them start officially invading Israel, so you can wipe them back into the Mediterranean. But if you get the Americans to start their war officially, then that would start the fire burning in the American people. Then the American people can FORCE Arab occupied Washington DC, to become American again. Just a thought. America, like Hamas, like Hisbulldung, is at war against Israel. So fight damn it. *shrug*

Gaza Rights Groups Angered by Misfired Terrorist Rocket

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/136925 by Maayana Miskin

Follow Israel news on Twitterand Facebook.

Terrorist groups based in Gaza have increased their rocket fire on southern Israel in recent weeks, launching dozens of attacks and murdering one kibbutz worker from Thailand. On Wednesday of this week, Gaza-based human rights organizations spoke out – after a misfired rocket accidentally hit Arabs, not Jews.

http://info.a7.org/info_en/bnaiaish-300×250.jpg

The incident took place on Wednesday, when a rocket fired from northern Gaza fell short and hit civilian homes in the Gaza city of Beit Hanoun. Four people suffered shrapnel wounds, and at least two buildings were damaged.

The Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights blasted Hamas over the latest incident. As the ruling power in Gaza, Hamas “is legally obliged to provide protection to civilians… and law enforcement persons must take necessary procedures to protect civilians and their properties,” the group declared.

The organization has not seen fit to condemn attacks on Israeli civilians, which it terms “resistance.” Over 4000 fell on Israeli civilian areas before the Cast Lead Operation and many have been fired on Israel in the past few weeks.

Wednesday’s incident was not the first in which Gaza terrorists accidentally bombed their own people. Several Gaza children have been killed or wounded by misfired Kassam rockets in the past. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

Muslims kill non-muslims as islam commands, and American Liberals wring their hands on how to report that politically and socially correctly.

This is an outstanding article. It shows how bad things are in America and Britain. American media is literally owned by islamic terrorists, but this article shows how damned stupid ‘we’, the American people, have become.

One of the responses a person posted, is at the bottom. It was excellent. Read this, and as Britain was so easily beaten by the Arab muslims, you will see that the same happened to America. Not is going to happen, but is done.

Muslims kill non-Muslims, media wrings its hands about hypothetical “Islamophobia” resulting from the murders http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/04/muslims-kill-non-muslims-media-wrings-its- hands-about-hypothetical-islamophobia-resulting-from-the-m.html

No matter what Islamic jihadists and Islamic supremacists do, no matter how bloodthirsty they are, no matter how gratuitous and brutal their attacks, for the mainstream media Muslims are always and everywhere the victims. “Macheteculturalism,” by Mark Steyn at The Corner , April 6 (thanks to Hugo):

[...] Sadly, in Landskrona the other day, an elderly couple parking their car made the mistake of attracting the attention of a young man of a certain, only vaguely hinted at, religion-of-peacey persuasion. He beat the 71-year old man brutally, and the 78-year old woman to death.

The killing has shocked the town. The leaders of four local Muslim associations held a press conference to deplore the “accident” and warn that it could “cause xenophobia”. Indeed. That’s the real news angle here :

Sweden: Muslim Community Fears Violence After Attack On Elderly Couple

Here’s another for you , Mr. Steyn:

Islamophobia on the rise after Moscow Metro attacks

As Steyn says, this is beyond parody.

And a comment made about the article,

Author Profile PageHesperado | April 9, 2010 1:12 PM | Reply

Unfortunately, the PC MC template is resilient to atrocities like this. Here’s how the mechanism works:

1. A Muslim beats a frail, elderly couple, killing one of them.

2. PC MCs immediately label this incident a mere violent crime, and can point to thousands of similar (and sometimes even worse) violent crimes throughout the West perpetrated by non-Muslims that are never deemed to be motivated by a religious ideology.

3. The effort of anti-Islam critics to link incidents like this with Islam as a motivator fail to demonstrate a direct smoking gun linkage, only at best strongly suggestive inference. Suggestive inference, however strong it may seem, is not sufficient to countervail the overwhelming interest PC MCs have in maintaining a bulwark against bigotry and against painting all Muslims with a broad brush, which in the minds of PC MCs is tantamount to the worst thought crime known to modern Western man: racism. And given their irrational hypersensitivity to anything remotely smelling like racism, PC MCs will usually interpret the effort by anti-Islam critics to make the linkage between Islam and any given crime committed by Muslims as itself strongly suggestive of a bigoted if not racist inclination on the part of the anti-Islam critic.

4. The one exception to #3 is when the Muslim perpetrator himself explicitly tells law enforcement authorities that his crime is directly linked to Islam (as, for example, the Arkansas shooter did). At this point, the PC MC template has an additional mechanism by which to maintain disconnection: The confessing perpetrator is either a) “insane” and/or b) a member of the “Tiny Minority of Extremists” who ipso facto do not represent either Islam or the Vast Majority of Decent Muslims, and therefore, of course, the disconnection between the crime in question and Islam is preserved.

And so on.

Muslims Get to OPT OUT of ObamaCare!

April 9th, 2010 No comments

* *

*CHRISTIANS AND JEWS NEED NOT APPLY FOR ** THE MUSLIM EXEMPTION TO OBAMACARE*

*ObamaCare discriminates against Christians and Jews by denying them special exemptions extended to other religions.*

If you are a mainstream Christian or a Jew, you need not apply to* Opt Out of ObamaCare;* *that exemption is reserved for Muslims, Scientologists, Amish, Christian Scientists and Native American Indians who have a “conscientious objection” to insurance. *A conscientious objection to theft committed by rouge politicians under the color of law with the threat of violence for non-compliance isn’t sufficient in America today to exempt average Americans from the stranglehold of government.

Believe it or not, if you are a Muslim you may claim a special religious exemption to Obama-Care that is denied to main-stream Christians and Jews. Or if you prefer a New-Age religion to Islam, you may become a Scientologist and Opt Out of ObamaCare’s mandatory pur-chase of health insurance. Or, if you happen to be of Native American Indian extraction you too can opt out of the insurance laws by which everyone else in America must abide.

“There are several reasons why an individual could claim exemption, being a member of a religion that does not believe in insurance is one of them. Islam is one of those religions. *Muslims believe that health insurance is ‘haraam,’ or forbidden; because they liken the ambiguity and probability of insurance to gambling. *This belief excludes them from any of the requirements, mandates, or penalties set forth in the bill. Other excluded groups include Amish, American Indians, and Christian Scientists.” – Quote from Liberty & Pride Blog

*DEMAND an Individual Opt-Out AMENDMENT!* https://patientoptout.com/secure-online-donation/muslims-get-to-opt-out/ *They can OPT OUT, why can’t you?*

*What is next? Allowing Muslims to opt out of mandatory state automobile insurance laws?*

If you are a typical hardworking American who pays the freight for this healthcare Obamanation, you are required not only to pay the taxes to support free and subsidized healthcare for others, you also will be required to purchase health insurance or pay a fine if you don’t while certain favored religions and ethnic groups are allowed to escape the government’s maw. *The U.S. Constitution supposedly grants ALL Americans equal protection of the law but under ObamaCare, some Americans are clearly more equal than others.*

Make no mistake, ObamaCare is a law specifically written NOT to apply equally to everyone. It is the single biggest act of discrimination enacted under the color of law since Jim Crow Laws. *One Congressman, Jim Hare of Illinois, let the cat out of the bag in shocking fashion when he admitted ** **he didn’t worry about the Constitution when legislating ObamaCare into law.*

*DEMAND an Individual Opt-Out AMENDMENT!* https://patientoptout.com/secure-online-donation/muslims-get-to-opt-out/ *They can OPT OUT, why can’t you?*

Even more astonishing, the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Max Baucus admittedthat *the purpose of ObamaCare is as much about redistributing income-”sharing the wealth”-as it is about reforming health care: *

“Health reform is ‘an income shift,’ Democratic Sen. Max Baucus said on March 25. ‘It is a shift, a leveling, to help lower income, middle income Americans.’

“In his halting, jumbled style, Baucus explained that in recent years ‘the maldistribution of income in America has gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy, and the middle income class is left behind.’ The new health care legislation, Baucus promised, ‘will have the effect of addressing that maldistribution of income in America.’”

Hand in hand with income redistribution and religious discrimination comes the iron fist of government and outright control of the people by bureaucrats, which Congressman John Dingell of Michigan admitswill be the eventual consequence of ObamaCare. His only regret is that it will take so long to erect the mechanisms of control.

*Religious Discrimination, IRS oversight of religion, blatant theft euphemized as “an income shift,” and control of the people with the threat of violence disguised as “law enforcement,” these are the purposes and consequences of ObamaCare as admitted by the very legislators who voted to enact it into law*. By our representatives’ own words, the U.S. Congress has come completely un-tethered from the U.S. Constitution and gone off the rails.

*This law must not stand.*

* DEMAND an Individual Opt-Out AMENDMENT!* https://patientoptout.com/secure-online-donation/muslims-get-to-opt-out/ *They can OPT OUT, why can’t you?*

All three great religions of Abraham hold theft as morally wrong. Forcibly taking the property of an innocent person and giving it to another person is theft, pure and simple, whether it is committed by an outlaw under the cover of darkness or by a politician under the color of law. ObamaCare is Theft.

Therefore, if the same logic applies by which the ObamaCare holds Sharia Law’s prohibition against gambling above the law of the land, so too should Christians and Jews be allowed to place the Eighth Commandment (*Thou Shalt Not Steal) above the power of the state to expropriate property from innocent people in the name of income redistribution for “the greater good.” *

Instead, ObamaCare replaces the Eighth Commandment of the Book of Exodus, which was inscribed on a stone tablet by the hand of God, with the Seventh Commandment from the Book of Orwell, Animal Farm, written on the wall of a barn: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

Muslims are given exemptions from laws everyone else has to follow, and this special privilege is justified as simply allowing them to freely exercise their religion; when average Americans demand to be allowed to live their lives without being oppressively regimented under the threat of violence from IRS goons, they are accused of demanding “special rights,” and denied the freedom of choice under the excuse of “serving the greater good.”

*DEMAND an Individual Opt-Out AMENDMENT!* https://patientoptout.com/secure-online-donation/muslims-get-to-opt-out/ *They can OPT OUT, why can’t you?*

After Osama bin Laden destroyed the Twin Towers in the name of Allah, Christians and Jews across America rallied to prevent a backlash against innocent Muslims. In the great American tradition of religious freedom and tolerance and in defense of our cherished commitment to equal protection of the rule of law, Americans of all walks of life stood shoulder to shoulder with their peaceful Muslim brethren to prevent religious discrimination.

That is why freedom-loving, tolerant Americans are so* outraged at the President of the United States and the U.S. Congress for conniving to drive a wedge between Muslims and the other two great religions of Abraham.* In the greatest power grab of all time, President Obama and the U.S. Congress have pitted American against American, Christian against Muslim, Torah against the Koran. It is unconscionable.

*This law must not stand. *

*DEMAND an Individual Opt-Out AMENDMENT!* https://patientoptout.com/secure-online-donation/muslims-get-to-opt-out/ *They can OPT OUT, why can’t you?*

The lucky few that get to *OPT OUT of ObamaCare* are not forced to buy healthcare insurance they don’t want*, unlike most Americans;* and, to top it off, they don’t have to pay the taxes or penalties associated with health care reform.

So while most Americans (*that includes You!*) will be required to purchase health care coverage deemed appropriate by President Obama and the government or face heavy fines, the privileged few such as Muslims get to OPT OUT.

*Where is your OPT OUT?*

Sign The National ObamaCare Opt Out (NOOO!) Registry and demand to be permitted to opt out of Obama’s socialized health-care mandate. Demand that your representatives put God’s Eighth Commandment above George Orwell’s Seventh Commandment. Demand that Congress keep the government out of your health care decisions. *DEMAND EQUAL TREATMENT. *Demand to be EXCLUDED from any government-run or mandated health care program and exempt from any and all taxes, fees, and mandates imposed to pay for it.

*DEMAND an Individual Opt-Out AMENDMENT!* https://patientoptout.com/secure-online-donation/muslims-get-to-opt-out/ *They can OPT OUT, why can’t you?*

*Let’s Get this Straight:*

President Obama Vice President Biden Speaker Nancy Pelosi Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid White House Staff Cabinet Secretaries Congressional Staff* Amish American Indian Tribes Criminals Scientologists Christian Scientists Muslims *Baptists** Catholics Lutherans Jews You*

Exempt from ObamaCare Exempt from ObamaCare Exempt from ObamaCare Exempt from ObamaCare Exempt from ObamaCare Exempt from ObamaCare Exempt from ObamaCare Exempt from ObamaCare Exempt from ObamaCare Exempt from ObamaCare Exempt from ObamaCare Exempt from ObamaCare Exempt from ObamaCare *NO Exemption** NO Exemption NO Exemption NO Exemption NO Exemption*

*Congressional staffers who wrote ObamaCare, staffers working in a leadership office or for a Congressional committee all receive an exemption.

*DEMAND an Individual Opt-Out AMENDMENT!* https://patientoptout.com/secure-online-donation/muslims-get-to-opt-out/ *They can OPT OUT, why can’t you?*

How can a religious exemption include certain religions and not others? Whatever happened to Equal Protection of the Laws guaranteed in the United States Constitution?

*Demand an Individual Opt Out Today!* President Obama and Lawmakers put themselves above the law. Now, certain special individuals are allowed to opt out too? It is unthinkable that socialized health care is MANDATED to you and NOT EVERYONE! A healthcare mandate nonetheless, shoved down your throat despite cries and protests against it.

*This Law Must Not Stand.*

*DEMAND an Individual Opt-Out AMENDMENT!* https://patientoptout.com/secure-online-donation/muslims-get-to-opt-out/ *They can OPT OUT, why can’t you?*

Why US Muslims Do not turn to Radical Islam

April 9th, 2010 1 comment

on the whole… It is called “American Exceptalialism” Only in America would this happen.., Of course this is not always the rule, but it is sufficiently the case that American Muslims see their religion of tolerance being practiced by Americans and in their countries… And that is a radical history changing event in Islam… That a non Islamic nation would give greater religious freedom for a Muslim than any Islamic country would…

Africa’s richest men in 2009 Tuesday, 06 April 2010 17:10 By The Independent Team [image: E-mail] [image: Print] [image: PDF] User Rating: / 0 PoorBest *

Mohammed Al Amoudi Mohammed Al Amoudi (Ethiopia)*

African Rank No.1 – World Rank No. 43 – Wealth $9 billion

Ethiopian born Mohammed Al Amoudi is this year the ‘Richest Man in Africa’. Al Amoudi who is based in Saudi Arabia has kept his US $9 billion fortune through these troubled times. He moves up from No.4 the year before. His interests are spread across Sweden, the Middle East and his home country of Ethiopia.

Nicky Oppenheimer

*Nicky Oppenheimer & Family (S. Africa) *

African Rank No.2 – World Rank No 98 – Wealth $5 billion

They say diamonds are forever and the Oppenheimer family proved this as they remain as a mainstay of Africa’s rich list. They were aided by having sold a significant part of their Anglo American empire at the peak of the market.

Nassef Sawiri

*Nassef Sawiris (Egypt) *

African No.3 – World Rank 196 – Wealth $3.1 billion

Nassef may have only dropped one position in the list but losing that one place was accompanied by a loss of $7.9 billion. His wealth has been hit by twin blows of falling valuation of his construction interest, Orascom Constructions which has dropped over 80% from its peak, and falling oil prices which have affected many of the firm’s Middle Eastern clients. He in 2008 ranked No.2 and World Rank No.68 at worth of US$11 billion.

Naguib Sawiris

*Naguib Sawiris (Egypt) *

African No.4 – World Rank No.205 – Wealth $3.0 billion

Last year there were three Sawiris brothers in the list Naguib, Nassef and Samih. Move forward one year, mix in a global financial crisis and only two brothers are left in the billionaires club with Samih ejected. Naguib who last year was richest man in Africa has lost an eye-watering $9.7 billion over the year as the value of his telecommunications empire, Orascom Telecom Holdings crashed by close to 90% and he now finds himself nestled in fourth place on the list. Naguib Sawiris was in 2008 valued at US$12.7 billion and 60th richest in the world.

Aliko Dangote

*Aliko Dangote (Nigeria) *

African No.5 – World Rank No.261 – Wealth $2.5 billion

The Nigerian Stock Exchange was a few years ago one of the world fastest growing exchanges but it has plummeted over the last few months and with it has gone a substantial proportion of Dangote’s wealth. Despite losing over US$800 million he still moves up two places as others have suffered even more painful losses. In 2008 Dangote was worth US$3.3 billion

Mo Ibrahim

*Mo Ibrahim (Sudan) *

African No.6 – World Rank 334 – Wealth $2 billion

Mo Ibrahim was not ranked last year. However, he made his US$2 billion to his fortune from his Celtel mobile phone empire and selling it on to Kuwaiti investors. He is famous for his US$5 million African leadership prize.

Onsi Sawiris

*Onsi Sawiris (Egypt) *

African No.7 – World Rank No.430 – Wealth $1.7 billon

In 2008 the Sawiris families were easily the richest family in Africa with father Onil and sons Naguib, Nassef and Samih boasting a combined wealth of US$35.7 billion. The global crisis has seen this wealth decimated. The patriarch of the Sawiris family, Onil saw his personal wealth plunge from $9.1 billion to $1.7 billion on the back of collapse in the value of the Sawiris’s construction group, telecommunication group and leisure interests. He was ranked No. 3 in Africa in 2008 and No. 96 in the world with a worth of US$9.1 billion

*Patrice Motsepe (S. Africa) *

African Rank No.8 – World Rank No.559 – Wealth $1.3 billion

Patrice Motsepe’s mining empire benefitted from record commodity prices to make him the first black South African to make the African rich list. A year on the fall in commodity prices particularly platinum has hit him hard with his personal wealth falling US $1.1 billion. In 2008his worth was US$2.4 billion.

*Femi Otedola (Nigeria) *

African Rank No. 9 – World Rank No.601 – Wealth $1.2 billon

He is a new entrant on the Forbes Billionaire list. This oil magnate prospered under the Nigeria last administration, others include Aliko Dangote, Jim Ovia (Zenith Bank), Michael

Johann Rupert

Adenuga (Glo Telecoms) and Tony Elumelu (UBA Bank). It would be no surprise if one of the latter three makes the list next year.

*Johann Rupert & Family (South Africa)*

African Rank No.9 – World Rank No.601 – Wealth $1.2 billion

Once ranked No.3 on the list of the richest in Africa, the family is in danger of slipping out of the list all together. The bulk of their wealth is tied into the Richemont Group, a major player in luxury goods and this is a sector that has been particularly hard hit by the global down turn. In 2008 Johann Rupert & family (South Africa) was African Rank No.6 – World Rank No.284 – Wealth $3.8 billion.
