Morris: Bravo for Peter King for hearings on Muslim radicalization
– GOPUSA
The need for Congressman Peter King’s hearings on Muslim radicalization in America is amply demonstrated by the backlash against them. If anyone really understood the vast effort underway – through most of America’s mosques – to indoctrinate young Muslims in the ways of radical jihad, there would be no doubt of the need for these hearings.

A study by the Center for Security Policy, headed by Frank Gaffney, found that three-quarters of the mosques in the U.S. actively seek to teach Shariah Law with its mandate to militant action and jihad. While the other quarter merely provides places of worship, they are in the minority.

The vast, vast, vast majority of Muslims are opposed to terror and happily and loyally enjoy the benefits of living in the greatest nation on Earth. But the vast majority of terrorist acts in America are committed by Muslims, spurred on to their violence by the indoctrination they get at Shariah schools.

Rick Santorum: Sharia ‘is evil’
– Politico
“Jihadism is evil and we need to say what it is,” he said at the Strafford County Lincoln-Reagan dinner, remarks that show how the former Pennsylvania senator continues to establish himself as the candidate most-aligned with the Republican Party’s conservative base. Santorum, invoking New York Rep. Peter King’s hearing this week on the alleged radicalization of American Muslims, said that the “vast majority” of Muslims don’t want it either.

“They left because of Sharia law,” he said, and Santorum added, “Sharia law is not just a religious code. It is also a governmental code. It happens to be both religious in nature an origin, but it is a civil code. And it is incompatible with the civil code of the United States.”

Iranian Video Says Mahdi is ‘Near’
– CBN
New evidence has emerged that the Iranian government sees the current unrest in the Middle East as a signal that the Mahdi—or Islamic messiah—is about to appear. CBN News has obtained a never-before-seen video produced by the Iranian regime that says all the signs are moving into place—and that Iran will soon help usher in the end times. “I think it’s a very grave development,” Mideast expert Joel Rosenberg, author of The Twelfth Imam, told CBN News.

CNN’s O’Brien Slants Towards Muslims, Omits Woman’s Connection to Mosque
– Newsbusters
CNN’s Soledad O’Brien’s Sunday documentary about the controversial mosque in Murfreesboro, Tennessee predictably leaned towards the local Muslims who want it built. O’Brien brushed aside an opponent’s concerns over Sharia law in the U.S.

A Koran, and Free Speech, In Flames
by Robert Spencer
Enraged over the burning of a Koran in Florida, Muslims have murdered about 20 people in Afghanistan and five in Pakistan—none of whom ever burned a Koran or had any acquaintance with the men who did. These killers are monstrous.  They have assassinated innocent people for something that they couldn’t conceivably have had anything to do with.  And yet instead of calling them monstrous and demanding that Islamic leaders stop inciting and approving of such behavior, Western government and media elites are blaming not the murderers and rioters, but the man behind the Koran-burning, the notorious Christian fundamentalist pastor Terry Jones.

Ann Barnhardt Fights Totalitarian Islam and Its Useful Idiots By Andrew G. Bostom
Barnhardt’s astute, irrefragable observation that Islam is a “…totalitarian political system masquerading as a religion,” and her accurate “exegesis” of Koranic verses, entirely consistent with their interpretation by a classical mainstream Koranic commentary that remains the seminal work introducing Muslims to “Koranic understanding.”

Egyptians’ struggles felt here

“There is no government to support us” with ex-President Hosni Mubarak gone, says American Coptic Christian. She hopes there will be some way to get her family out of Egypt.
“Islamic hard-liners, some of them heavily suppressed under three decades of Hosni Mubarak’s regime, are enthusiastically diving into Egypt’s new freedoms, forming political parties to enter upcoming elections and raising alarm that they will try to lead the country into fundamentalist rule,” the AP reported on Wednesday.

The Keystone of the Islamic Milieu: Inbreeding – American Thinker
Everywhere in the western world, people look at the savage violence that is a daily occurrence in the Muslim world and shake their heads in stunned disbelief. There is a catalyst—absent in every other culture on earth—that has poisoned the cultural soil, thus yielding the fruit of bad harvest for nearly 1,400 years.  That catalyst is inbreeding.  As a direct result, the Muslim population is mentally developmentally disabled on a mass scale.

But there is hope.  All is not lost. …if the people now living under the fist of Islam are finally freed and can court and love and marry whomever they choose, thus reopening the genetic pool, this will allow hybrid vigor to cleanse and restore to full health their populations.
