CAIR (The Council of American-Islamic Relations) has paid the counties of Broward and Miami-Dade in Florida $60,000 to place inflammatory advertising on public city buses that read:

Islam: The Way of Life of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad.

Campaign to debunk fallacies about Islam in full swing: A two-county advertising campaign asks those who have questions about Islam to call a toll-free number. The aim is to educate.

City buses in Broward and Miami-Dade counties have been advertising information on a religious topic that some people have found surprising — Islam.

The advertisement reads ”Islam: Got Questions? Get answers,” and gives this telephone phone number: 1-888-ISLAM-55. It is an effort to educate Americans about a faith that has been villainized in the media, said Dr. Sabeel Ahmed, a physician from Chicago who is director of the effort.

Well, if this advertising is a call to “educate”, then CAIR should know that Abraham, Moses, and Jesus did not practice Islam.

Also, radical Muslims in Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups have villianized Islam, not the media.

A waiter who shocked guests at a Jewish wedding by playing a recording of a crowd chanting in Arabic has pleaded not guilty to a felony harassment charge.

Nassau County police said Stephen Buttafuoco was working at the Woodbury Jewish Center on Long Island on Jan. 4 when he played the chant over a sound system.

He was arrested Friday and arraigned Saturday. He was scheduled to be released on $1,500 cash bail, said his lawyer.

Investigators said the 23-year-old West Babylon man made the recording when he attended a rally opposing the Israeli offensive in Gaza, during which protesters chanted, “Allah Akbar,” or “God is great.”

Buttafuoco said he was playing the recording for a co-worker and was unaware it was being amplified, according to his lawyer, Tom Spreer.

Spreer said Buttafuoco’s father is a former Marine and pastor of a church in Babylon, and the family was sorry about the incident.

“They are a good family and they are very upset about what happened,” Spreer said. “And they wish to apologize to everyone who attended the wedding.”

Police initially released a statement saying that Buttafuoco had also been charged with disrupting a religious service. Spreer said, however, that the charge was not introduced at his arraignment. Newsday reported a grand jury will consider whether to bring the charge.

Police said the defendant is not related to Joey Buttafuoco, who went to prison in the Amy Fisher scandal.

Dumb ass.

I bet this becomes a Saturday Night Live skit, though.

The Simpsons creator Matt Groening has defended a controversial storyline in the comedy cartoon which sees Homer Simpson accuse his Muslim neighbors of terrorism.

In a forthcoming episode of the long-running show, dad Homer Simpson convinces friends that a Middle Eastern family are plotting to blow up a shopping mall but is proved wrong when it turns out the family’s father, Amid, works in demolition.

When the Simpson family have their Muslim neighbors over for dinner, Homer shows his ignorance of the Muslim faith calling Allah “Oliver” and holy book The Koran “The Corona”.

A spokesperson for Britain’s The Islamic Cultural Center + The London Central Mosque has commented on the episode, telling U.K. newspaper the Daily Star, “I hope Muslims take no notice of the show.”

But Groening has come out in defense of the plot, saying, “Cartoons deal in stereotypes. We try to be sensitive.”

It is not the first time the show has been mired in controversy, with Simpsons bosses recently being criticised for a storyline which implied America’s Republican party was involved in a vote-rigging scandal at the 2008 presidential election.

Finally, a funny Simpsons episode.

Iranian children participate in a city race on the 13th of Aban (November 3). The race is held on this day to honor the memory of Hossain Fahmideh who strapped a grenade pack on his back and blew himself up under a tank. Hossain was a 13 year-old boy when he blew himself up.

Death to Israel. Death to America. All at the tender age of 13. When I was 13, I was learning about algebra, geometry, history, science, and music theory - not death.

I know there are other videos with younger aged children calling Jews “pigs” and American “infidels”, but these videos still amaze me. How can parents teach their children to hate, when these children were supposedly conceived in love?

It is disgusting, and with renewed anti-American sentiment, these lessons of death and suicide will continue.

And has changed his name to Mikaeel.

Eye of the World and The Sun both report:

The singer, who was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, converted to Islam in a ceremony at a friend’s house in Los Angeles.

He is said to have sat on the floor and worn a small hat while an imam officiated.

According to The Sun, the ceremony took place while Jackson, 50, was recording an album at the home of Steve Porcaro, a keyboard player who composed music on his Thriller album.

The former Jackson 5 star was counselled by David Wharnsby, a Canadian songwriter, and Phillip Bubal, a producer, who have both converted.

A source said Jackson had appeared a “bit down” and added: “They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better people after they converted. Michael soon began warming to the idea.

“An imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief.”

Yes, this will go over well with the “mother” of Michael Jackson’s children, who is Jewish.

Will there be a Jyhad on Michael Jackson’s music?

Let’s hope so.

Damn. I do not know what to make of this video.

Louis Farrahkan, coward anti-Semite, flat out says that Barack Obama is the “Messiah”. Farrahkan also says that “the Messiah is speaking” while referring to Barack Obama.

The Astute Bloggers reported Farrahkan’s speech back in February:

“This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better,” he said.

“This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama’s audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed.”

Farrakhan compared Obama to the religion’s founder, Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and black father.

“A black man with a white mother became a savior to us,” he told the crowd of mostly followers. “A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.”

Wow. Just what Barack Obama needs - another reference to his purported Islamic faith.

Omar Bakri Mohammed!

Nice! And she is a MILF, too!

Where is my wallet?

The Daily Mail reports:

As the daughter of firebrand cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, Yasmin Fostok might be expected to share his fanatical beliefs.

But the radical Muslim’s daughter has ditched his extreme interpretation of Islam - as well as most of her clothing.

The busty blonde has been revealed as a topless, tattooed pole dancer.

The 26-year-old single mother has been displaying her charms in London clubs and touring as a ‘podium’ dancer with a troupe called Ibiza Untouched.

Hundreds of youngsters go wild over the daughter of the preacher of hate who rants against Western ‘depravity’.

Yasmin shrugged off the secret life that her father would abhor. ‘I don’t agree with his views - I just get on with my life and that’s it,’ she said.

Perhaps predictably Bakri, now exiled to Lebanon, dismissed the news as a ‘ fabrication’ and described it as an attack on him and Islam.

‘The more you put pressure on me, the stronger I become. Islam will conquer Britain,’ he said.

‘I have not seen my daughter for nine years, but because she is a member of my family people want to make things up about her.

‘You are going to pay a heavy price. You can read it any way you like. The time is now.’

Yes, I bet men pay a heavy price to service see Yasmin’s ass. Money well spent, too.

I know this is not appropriate for a Sunday, but it is too good to pass up.
