EUA: balcão bancário obrigado a retirar árvore de Natal

Amplify’d from blog.beliefnet.com
Incredible, but true.

From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:
Chase Bank told a businessman to remove the Christmas tree he donated to a local branch because it could offend people.

Antonio Morales, owner of Bellagio Day Spa in Southlake, had assembled and decorated a 9-foot-tall tree in the lobby of the Chase Bank branch at 1700 E. Southlake Boulevard as a favor to the branch manager, who is one of his clients.

The tree remained in the lobby from the Monday before Thanksgiving until Tuesday. Morales said his friend called him Wednesday to tell him the tree had to go. She later showed him an e-mail from JPMorgan Chase saying that the tree had to be removed because some people were offended by it.

The bank referred questions to corporate offices.

Greg Hassell, a JPMorgan Chase spokesman, said that the company's policy isn't anti-Christmas. "People wish their customers merry Christmas when it's appropriate," he said.

However, to ensure that everyone who visits Chase branches feels welcome and comfortable, the bank's policy is to use only decorations supplied by the company.

"We appreciate the thoughtful gesture from Mr. Morales," Hassell said. "Unfortunately, we're unable to keep it [the tree] on display for the remainder of the holiday season." JPMorgan Chase ensures that decorations are "something everyone is comfortable with, regardless of how they celebrate the season," Hassell said.

But others see the tree as a symbol of the season.

A spokeswoman at Trinity Bank in Fort Worth said it has had a tree in its lobby since the Friday after Thanksgiving.

"I've been in this business more than 30 years, and every place I've worked we've put up a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving," said Linda Robertson, assistant vice president. Bryan Fischer, director of issue analysis for the American Family Association, called Chase's decision absurd.

"According to Advertising Age, 91 percent of American people celebrate Christmas," Fischer said. "That means that the single most inoffensive thing you can do at this time of year is wish someone a merry Christmas."

Jihad contra os EUA (2)

Felicitación islamista para celebrar la Navidad
Las autoridades de los EEUU detuvieron a Mohamed Osman Mohamud, joven musulmán norteamericano de origen somalí de 19 años de edad, que planeaba cometer un atentado-sacrifico para Alá durante una ceremonia navideña en Portland, en el estado de Oregón, según documentos judiciales difundidos del Departamento de Justicia.
El piadoso devoto musulmán Mohamed Osman Mohamud fue detenido el viernes 26 de noviembre de 2010 en un operativo encubierto del FBI cuando planeaba hacer estallar un coche bomba durante el encendido del árbol de Navidad, una de las ceremonias cristianas tradicionales que se celebran en varias ciudades estadounidenses en estas fechas.
Los cargos que pesan sobre el joven, que nació en Somalia pero obtuvo la ciudadanía de EEUU y que actualmente cursaba estudios en la Universidad Estatal de Oregón, es intento de uso de armas de destrucción masiva.
La Agencia Federal de Investigaciones (FBI) informó que la detención fue la culminación de una larga operación encubierta, durante la cual Mohamud fue seguido muy de cerca mientras preparaba el atentado.
El islamista había estacionado una furgoneta cargada de explosivos cerca del parque concurrido de familias donde se iba a celebrar la ceremonia.
Cuando fue detenido, la furgoneta estacionada cerca del parque donde se iba a celebrar la ceremonia esta supuestamente cargada con explosivos y el joven había intentado activar el dispositivo.
El muchacho se enfrenta ahora a una condena de cadena perpetua y a una multa de 250.000 dólares.
Según Dwight C. Holton, Fiscal General del Distrito de Oregón, la "fría determinación del acusado sirve para alertarnos de que, incluso en Oregón, hay gente determinada a matar a ciudadanos estadounidenses".
Tal y como apuntó en un comunicado Arthur Balizan, el agente especial del FBI encargado de la operación, "la amenaza era muy real. Nuestra investigación reveló que Mohamud estaba comprometido en llevar a cabo un ataque a gran escala".
El piadoso musulmán tiene más motivos para quejarse contra los infieles. Estos  “cruzados”  le han impedido sacrificar infieles para Alá.

Oregon jihadist in failed bomb attempt made "Osama-style" pre-attack video, railed against parents who "held me back from Jihad in the cause of Allah"

Obviously, the folks had a few extra reasons not to let Junior borrow the car on a Friday night. "Six 55-gallon drums [of explosives] with detonation cords and plastic caps," for example.
In the end, Allah's own orders in the Qur'an to "fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)" (9:5) clearly took precedence for Mohamud. Funny how that keeps happening. "Words from the Oregon Bomb Suspect," by T.C. Baker for IndieProPub, November 28:
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, behind the planned bomb in Portland told an undercover agent in August that he "had found the perfect location for a terrorist attack: the city's annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony".
He said during the hotel meeting he had "dreamed of carrying out an attack for years, and the city's Pioneer Courthouse Square would be packed with thousands. A huge mass that will...be attacked in their own element with their families celebrating the holidays."
Mohamud, scheduled for court on Monday, has been followed for four years. When he was 15 and a student at Beaverton's high school, he told undercover agents about a prayer he made for guidance "about whether I should...go, you know, and make a jihad in a different country or to make like an operation here."
In one meeting, Mohamud told an agent, posing as an extremist, ways he could help "the cause" from "praying five times a day" to "becoming a martyr". But, he "thought of putting an explosion together but that he needed help doing so."
When he was warned several times of that women and children could die, he declined to back out.
Mohamud also made a video dressed in what he called "Sheik Osama style" which included a white robe, red and white headdress and camouflage jacket. In the video, he went on to "read a statement on his dream of bringing a dark day on Americans and blamed his family for getting in the way".
In his statement, Mohamud said, "To my parents who held me back from Jihad in the cause of Allah. I say to them...if you - if you make allies with the enemy, then Allah's power...will ask you about that on the day of judgment, and nothing that you do can hold me back."...

Qual o acto que eleva o muçulmano a um nível mais elevado?

Jihad pela causa de Alá!

Muslim (20:4645) - "...He (the Messenger of Allah) did that and said: There is another act which elevates the position of a man in Paradise to a grade one hundred (higher), and the elevation between one grade and the other is equal to the height of the heaven from the earth. He (Abu Sa'id) said: What is that act? He replied: Jihad in the way of Allah! Jihad in the way of Allah!"

A Guerra Civil entre muçulmanos e não-muçulmanos não é ficção científica nem profetismo catastrofista: é um dado objectivo da vida no Ocidente - embora ainda numa pequena escala, porque a população muçulmana ainda é relativamente pequena.

He yelled "Allahu akbar" and tried to kick agents as they swooped in to arrest him. DoJ press release here. "Feds Arrest Somali-Born Teen in Car Bomb Plot," from the Associated Press, November 27 (thanks to Markus):
PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Somali-born teenager plotted to carry out a car bomb attack at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in downtown Portland on Friday, but the bomb turned out to be a dud supplied by undercover agents as part of a sting, federal prosecutors said.
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was arrested at 5:40 p.m. just after he dialed a cell phone that he thought would blow up a van laden with explosives but instead brought federal agents and Portland police swooping in to take him into custody.
Mohamud yelled "Allahu Akhkbar" and tried to kick agents and police as the arrest came, according to prosecutors.
He was charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.
U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton released federal court documents Friday that show the sting operation began in June after an undercover agent learned that Mohamud had been in contact with an "unindicted associate" in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier region.
Mohamud is a naturalized U.S. citizen who has been living in Corvallis.
According to a federal complaint, Mohamud was in regular email contact with the "unindicted associate' in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier starting in August 2009.
The complaint states that in December 2009 Mohamud and the "unindicted associate" used coded language in an email in which the FBI believes Mohamud discussed traveling to Pakistan to prepare for "violent jihad."...
Last June an FBI agent contacted Mohamud "under the guise of being affiliated with the first associate."
Mohamud and the undercover agent agreed to meet in Portland on July 30. At that meeting, the undercover agent and Mohamud "discussed violent jihad," according to the court document.
Mohamud told the agent he wanted to set off explosives at the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square, an event that occurred on Friday....

O que se ensina nas mesquinas norte-americanas?

Supremacismo islâmico e jihad em nome de Alá!
Amplify’d from www.inquiryintoislam.com
ACCORDING TO the Muslim, Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, who testified before the U.S. State Department, 80 percent of mosques in America preach "extremist ideology."
Coming from an entirely different source, the Mapping Sharia Project sent trained people into mosques in the U.S. to find out how many of them are calling for jihad against America. They discovered that the majority of the mosques they've investigated so far do, in fact, promote jihad against America, in the Friday "sermons" (known as "khutbah") and in the literature available at the mosques.

In a speech by Mark Steyn, he said (when answering a question) Canadian Mounties did a survey of Canadian imams. It found 85 percent of the imams in Canadian mosques were "hardcore radical jihadists."

Saudi Arabia's oil wealth enables it to control around 90% of the world's Islamic institutions (source), and the Saudis promote hardcore, fundamentalist Islam. They pay for these mosques because it gives them control over what is taught and promoted at the mosques. Read more about this.Read more at www.inquiryintoislam.com

Ministério da Administração interna dos EUA pondera aceitar sugestão dos muçulmanos

A sugestão é esta: em vez de serem revistadas nos aeroportos norte-americanos, as mulheres muçulmanas revistam-se a si próprias.

Pura sandice, da perigosa.

The Department of Homeland Security needs to clarify its position here without delay. CAIR advised Muslim women in the press release quoted here that:
"Instead of the pat-down, you can always request to pat down your own scarf, including head and neck area"...
Two facts should be self-evident to demonstrate how outrageous this idea is. First, the whole point of being searched by someone else is to find concealed objects. A "self-pat-down" clearly defeats that purpose and is a completely unacceptable lapse in security. Let's remember the stakes here: if something goes wrong in air security in the wrong place at the wrong time, people die. There is enough margin for error in the system already without adding this variable.
Secondly, the fact that Napolitano could even be considering such a measure highlights a double standard for special treatment that would not be considered for any other religious group, but is extended to Muslims without a second thought. What is going on here is a politically correct sort of anti-profiling: by all appearances, the air security apparatus bends over backwards to profile Muslims as not being a threat, in a way that it does not strive to reassure other demographic groups in the traveling public.
We are told time and again that Muslims in America just want to be treated like everyone else. Ergo, if you want equal treatment as a Muslim woman, participate in your social responsibilities equally even when it is awkward or inconvenient, rather than acting like some kind of demigoddess whose head and neck are untouchable by sullied human hands in the screening line. Your head and neck are as human as that of the next non-Muslim lady in line who is no more thrilled to be there than you are.
But let's remember why we're standing there waiting with our shoes in a plastic bin, and why so many security procedures have come into being in the first place: Islamic jihadists keep trying to bring down our planes, more and more with explosives concealed on their bodies.
"Napolitano considering allowing Muslim women to pat themselves down at Airports!" by Jack Minor for the Greeley Gazette, November 17 (thanks to C.):
With the holidays fast approaching, the Transportation Safety Agency has announced new security procedures requiring passengers selected for secondary screening to go through a machine that produces a full body scan producing a nude but grainy, black and white image. Passengers choosing to opt out of the scan will face a full body pat.
The problems these security measures pose should be discussed in the interest of the entire traveling public, pilots, and flight attendants, and not as the problem of one group.
The head of Homeland Security has indicated the government is considering the request of an Islamic organization that has suggested Muslim women be allowed to pat themselves down during a full body search that is part of new enhanced procedures at airports.
Since implementing the procedures, numerous complaints have arisen that the search is not a "pat-down" but rather feeling and grabbing along a person's genitalia and other areas until they meet resistance. Critics have said the pat-downs would be considered sexual assault if performed elsewhere.
The TSA defends the procedures as necessary in light of last years "underwear bomber" and the recent issues involving printer cartridges being used in an attempt to blow up cargo planes.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, CAIR, has expressed concern with the TSA over the regulations and recommended special procedures for dealing with Muslim women. The organization issued a travel advisory for Muslims over the procedure.
In the advisory CAIR advises all Muslims to contact them and file a complaint with the TSA if they experience any "disturbing incidents" with the new procedures and they feel they have been unfairly singled out for screening.
It goes on to make special recommendations for Muslim women wearing a hijab covering their face. The advisory says women are to inform the officer they are only to pat down the head and neck and says "They should not subject you to a full-body or partial body pat-down." They also recommend that women should be permitted to pat themselves down and "have the officers perform a chemical swipe of your hands."
Barack Obama's Homeland Security Czar, Janet Napolitano, is considering changes to the procedures to address the issues raised by CAIR....

Dhimmitude nos EUA

Quando um não-muçulmano vive sob domínio islâmico deve evitar, a todo o custo, fazer o que quer que seja que possa ofender um muçulmano individualmente, ou a religião islâmica, uma vez que essa ofensa pode significar para o muçulmano uma ruptura do pacto de submissão a que os não-muçulmanos judeus e cristãos estão sujeitos, e deixá-los sem a "protecção" que os muçulmanos se obrigam prestar-lhes contra a cobiça e concupiscência de si mesmos.

Eis um exemplo de como esse estatuto de submissão à sensibilidade islâmica já cavou tão fundo no país e na classe profissional de quem seria de esperar uma defesa firme da liberdade de expressão ― falo dos jornalistas norte-americanos, os quais, mesmo sem se encontrarem sob domínio formal do islão, tudo fazem para não ofender os muçulmanos, até ao ridículo de si mesmos.

Veja este desenho da autoria de caricaturista Wiley Miller, que publica uma caricatura semanalmente no Washington Post, desenho não publicado por este jornal devido ao risco de ofender os muçulmanos:

Pelos vistos, passou a ser tão ofensivo desenhar Mafoma como não o desenhar.

Ataque a mesquita

Aparentemente, o ataque à bomba que matou 20 pessoas ontem, no Afeganistão, foi obra dos taliban.
Lendo esta notícia da CNN, podemos verificar até que ponto as cúpulas militares norte-americanas internalizaram as linhas de força da propaganda islâmica posta a circular nos EUA logo no dia 12/09/2001 pelo inefável G. W. Bush, numa clara demonstração de dhimmitude:

"Blast at mosque kills provincial governor in northern Afghanistan," by Ivan Watson for CNN, October 8
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- An anti-insurgent provincial governor who had survived Taliban assassination attempts was among 20 people who died Friday in an explosion at a northern Afghan mosque during prayers, a government official said.
The blast in Afghanistan's Takhar province killed Kunduz provincial governor Mohammad Omar, who recently sounded an alarm about the threat of insurgents during an interview with CNN.
The bombing also wounded 35 others, with most of those killed and injured engaged in prayer, said Afghan Interior Ministry spokesman Zamarai Bashari.
The NATO-led command condemned the attack, saying that "it's unconscionable that anyone would attack a mosque."
"It's clear the insurgents have no respect for the most holy of Islamic places," said U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Greg Smith, spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force, or ISAF.
The U.S. Embassy in Kabul deplored the act, saying "whoever was responsible" for striking a house of worship "has demonstrated a clear lack of disregard for the Afghan people and for the peaceful religion they practice."
The mosque was bloodied and its roof was shattered, eyewitness Mujib Rahman said, but there were different early accounts on how the strike was carried out.
Gen. Daoud Daoud, commander of the Afghan Interior Ministry's northern zone, said a suicide attacker apparently sitting next to the governor detonated a bomb.
Omar, who was a Pashtun, had survived several assassination attempts by the Taliban, and his brother was slain a few months ago....
