Report by 4 US senators says Blair and Brown governments, Scotland and BP prostituted justice for Libyan (trade) money in releasing Lockerbie bomber Megrahi on false medical diagnosis
From BBC
The senators' report states that Scottish authorities examining the former Libyan intelligence officer relied on "false" and "flawed" medical prognosis that may have been influenced by a doctor hired by the Libyan government.
Mr Menendez [Senator Bob Menendez], along with three other senators, launched the investigation after officials from Scotland, the UK and BP failed to testify at a Senate foreign relations committee hearing, he was scheduled to chair in July.
"This was a case in which commercial and economic considerations trumped the message of our global fight against terrorism," said Mr Menendez.
From AFP,
Libyan national Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi is the only person ever convicted over the 1988 attack in which 270 people, most of them Americans, perished when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over the Scottish town of Lockerbie.
Scottish authorities, who have power over their own judicial affairs, released Megrahi, 58, on compassionate grounds in August 2009 after doctors said he was suffering from terminal cancer and had three months to live.
Megrahi is still alive more than 16 months
Titled "Justice Undone: The Release of the Lockerbie Bomber," the report found
political pressure and "commercial warfare" [900-million-dollar BP oil deal that Libya had threatened to cut off and a 165-million-dollar arms deal signed the same month al-Megrahi was freed] by the government of Libyan dictator Moamer Kadhafi played a major role in the decision [by governments of British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown]
[Scottish authorities have dismissed the report by the senators saying it was an unofficial investigation.]
UPDATE: This addition is from Daily Mail (U.K.)
The report says the British government played a ‘direct, critical role’ in Megrahi’s release and could have prevented it but ‘chose not to’.
It suggests the two Scottish doctors who said the bomber had months to live had been influenced by three doctors who were hired by the Libyan Government.
The Senate report quotes cancer experts who said the three month prognosis was 'inaccurate and unsupported by medical science'.
It says the decision to release al Megrahi was made primarily by two Scottish prison doctors who had no background in prostate cancer.
Britain's ambassador to Libya, Sir Vincent Fean, 'directly participated' in an October 2008 meeting with Scottish government and senior Libyan officials to discuss a 'way out' for Megrahi, the report states.
He [Foreign Secretary William Hague, had] said British interests, 'including those of U.K. nationals, British businesses and possibly security cooperation would be damaged - perhaps badly - if Megrahi were to die in a Scottish prison.'
The report also highlights the role of the Government of Qatar who lobbied for the bomber's release.

Comments: Looks like a case of 'Justice for sale' but this isn't really about money, except for BP. This is appeasement to Muslims by the politically correct elites.
There is also the corrupting influence of Money, especially Muslim oil-money, that will destroy nations and civilizations, without any terrorism.
Everyone should watch out. Next time it might be your justice that gets prostituted for Muslim money, threats and terror balckmails.
This case shows why the simple left-wing, right-wing distinction don't work. Greedy right-wing capitalists would sell theirs and your soul for money, while the poor left-wing would betray out of envy and hate, or false dreams of a better world.
Finally, this is a classic case of 'victim-card', where the terrorist who killed hundreds, portrayed himself as pitiful and deserving of compassion and mercy. Bleeding heart liberals and left-wingers, especially, fall victim to this sort of con (trick). They have all the mercy and compassion for the terrorists but non for the victims.
Watch out next time a terrorist comes around begging for mercy and compassion, and starts talking about forgiveness.
This is nothing but blackmail and the British once again appeasing and giving in to Muslims.

Incoming US Homeland Security Committee chair Peter King condemns PC, media terror apologetics, Muslims acquiesce-ignoring terror, conspiracy theories, double standards & treachery
From an opinion piece in New York's Newsday, U.S. Rep. Peter King wrote
NOTE: Words in square brackets [] are comments by the author of this blog article and not by Peter King.
[Caution: Peter King also said he isn't anti-Muslim. He points out that he supported Balkan Muslims including those in Bosnia, Macedonia and Kosovo against Serbian Christians [including Clinton's 1995 and 1998 military offensives], and supported Pakistan on Kashmir against India.]
Source: Newsday (New York) [Thought not referenced, see also the World Net Daily report on this story.]
Comments: The Albanian KLA that the US promoted was a terrorist organization and based on numerous concrete reports, some of their members allegedly killed Christian Serbs and their Albanian rivals to harvest their organs.
This is the norm with many Muslims. If their opponent is stronger than them, they provoke the opponent and play the victim card, even thought they are no different or far worse.
This should always be remembered whenever Muslims in position of weakness play victim card. They may be publicly playing victims while killing people and harvesting their organs or doing something similar.

NOTE: Words in square brackets [] are comments by the author of this blog article and not by Peter King.
To some in the strata of political correctness, I'm a pretty bad guy. To be blunt, this crowd sees me as an anti-Muslim bigot. A spokesman for the Committee on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) denounced me last year for making "bigoted remarks . . . about Muslims and mosques”[Labeling criticism of Islamic and Muslim problems and hate as 'hate', e.g. 'bigoted'. Its a blasphemy to make such criticism.]
from moralistic condemnation to sorrowful rebuke [by Newsday][Moralizing trick. Unfounded moral outrage at any criticism of Islam or Muslims while ignoring far worse wrongs and atrocities by Muslims.]
barely a month after those [9-11] attacks that killed so many hundreds of Long Islanders, prominent Long Island Muslim leaders were insisting there was no evidence that al-Qaida was responsible for the attacks - even saying it could have been the CIA, the FBI or the Zionists![A bit of psychology: distorted Muslim views of the world, conspiracy theories, 'Muslims can do no wrong so someone else must be responsible such evils', blame the victim blame game and anti-Semitism. Important to note that this is not a tiny minority of Muslims that have these problems. It's mainstream with even Muslim leaders holding such distorted views.]
Even more troubling is that to this day, no Muslim leader has denounced those vile remarks. Nor did Newsday say a word about these slanders - no moral outrage or condemnation. No demand for an apology or even an explanation.[Double standards: Muslim and media silence when Muslims make hate remarks but loud outrage at even legitimate criticism of Islam. See hate-labeling above.]
As I became more immersed in attempting to unravel the radical Islamic threat to our nation and our civilization, it became more and more obvious to me that the moral myopia of Long Island's Muslim leaders and their apologists in the media was the rule - and that there were few exceptions.[Islamism is a global existential threat. Distorted views and political correctness are the rule among Muslims and the media.]
Federal and local law enforcement officials throughout the country told me they received little or - in most cases - no cooperation from Muslim leaders and imams.[Indirect support for terrorism. They may not be terrorists but they do nothing about terrorism in their mist.]
In the past 15 months we saw Najibullah Zazi, who was raised and educated in Queens, attempt to attack the New York City subway system with liquid explosives, using skills he learned in terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. We learned about Zazi by chance when his name came up on a wiretap. The case was almost compromised when a Queens imam - ostensibly cooperating with the New York City Police Department - tipped off Zazi.[Treachery: Taqiyya by a hate preacher Imam helping terrorists. Despite claims by leftists social determinists and some Muslims that poverty causes terrorism, Zazi here is a terrorists despite being in the US and getting an education. He wasn't living in poverty in some third world slum.]
a Pew Poll showed that 15 percent of Muslim Americans between 18 and 29 say suicide bombing is justified. I also know of imams instructing members of their mosques not to cooperate with law enforcement officials investigating the recruiting of young men in their mosques as suicide bombers.[Sympathy for terror is substantial and not restricted to a tiny fringe minority. And these people aren't living in some poor and backward third world Islamic country. They are in the US. These imams must know something about Islam and so must know that 'Islam has nothing to do with terrorism'. Why is it then that they aren't preaching these messages or are helping fight these allegedly un-Islamic terrorists.]
leaders who - for whatever reason - acquiesce in terror or ignore the threat.[As before, they may not be terrorists themselves but many Muslims, including leaders do noting about it either, and so are in effect condoning or indirectly supporting terror. This is a common problem that also exists in places like Qatar, Pakistan and even in Britain.]

WikiLeaked UK cable: Distorted Muslim view of life-world, blame game, double speak, 'moral equivalence' and, left-wing and media incite-excuse terrorism
Reference ID: 06LONDON5958
Created: 2006-08-14 17:05
Released: 2010-12-13 21:09
Classification: CONFIDENTIAL
Origin: Embassy London
¶1. (C) SUMMARY: Frustrated by the bruising that their community has taken after 24 UK-born Muslims were arrested in connection with the recently-thwarted air terrorist plot (reftels), prominent British Muslims sent an open letter to PM Tony Blair August 12 blaming his policy on Iraq and the Middle East for fueling extremism and putting British citizens at risk. HMG reacted angrily to the letter; in a series of meetings with Muslim community leaders August 14, government ministers planned to demand that the Muslim community itself do more to root out terrorists in its midst.
(U) BRITISH MUSLIMS ANGRY
¶4. (U) Prominent British Muslim leaders sent an open letter to PM Tony Blair August 12 stating that his policy on Iraq and the Middle East offers “ammunition to extremists” and puts British lives “at increased risk.” Appearing as a full page advertisement in newspapers August 13, the letter was signed by three of the four Muslim MPs, three of the five Muslim members of the House of Lords, and 38 Muslim organizations (for full text and list of signatories see para 10). Although the letter states specifically that “attacking civilians is never justified,” its signatories have used this sentence as a double-edged sword in defending the letter publicly, in effect equating civilian deaths in Lebanon with potential civilian deaths from terrorism. As MCB Secretary General Dr. Mohammed Abdul Bari told the press, “As Muslims, we condemn attacks on civilians wherever they happen. Civilians in the UK, the Middle East, and the rest of the world should all enjoy protection.”
(U) HMG ANGRY
¶5. (U) HMG reacted sharply to the letter. A spokesman for PM Blair (currently on holiday in Barbados), noting that al-Qaida terrorist attacks began well before Iraq, said, “To imply al-Qaida is driven by an honest disagreement over foreign policy is a mistake.” Home Secretary John Reid told the BBC, “I’m not going to question the motives of anyone who has signed this letter, but I think it is a dreadful
LONDON 00005958 002 OF 003
misjudgment if we believe the foreign policy of this country should be shaped in part, or in whole, under the threat of terrorist activity if we do not have a foreign policy with which the terrorists happen to agree.” Transport Secretary Douglas Alexander echoed these sentiments, saying “No government worth its salt should allow its foreign policy to be dictated to under the threat of terrorism.” Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said it would be “the gravest
SIPDIS possible error” to blame foreign policy for the threat of terrorism. “This is part of a distorted view of the world, a distorted view of life,” she said. “Let’s put the blame where it belongs: with people who wantonly want to take innocent lives.” Other ministers called the letter “facile,” “dangerous,” and “foolish.”
¶6. (U) Communities Secretary Ruth Kelly, along with ministers from her department and the Home Office, was scheduled to meet with representatives of various Muslim groups August 14. HMG has made clear that one message officials will deliver in these meetings is that Muslim leaders must do more to tackle extremism inside their community.
(U) ELEMENTS OF UNREST
¶8. (C) Also on August 14, law enforcement officials were scheduled to meet leaders from seven communities - Newham, Hackney, Barking, Dagenham, and Waltham Forest in London, plus Birmingham and High Wycombe - where they judged the possibility for unrest might lead to street violence.
¶9. (C) COMMENT: Since 7/7, HMG has invested considerable time and resources in engaging the British Muslim community. The current tensions demonstrate just how little progress has been made. At the same time, the Muslim community’s reaction to the arrests of 24 of its own sons - a knee-jerk reaction blaming HMG - shows that its leaders too have far to go. That said, the Muslim community is not the only element in Britain blaming HMG’s foreign policy for inciting radical elements; the left in particular but even the mainstream press has expressed the belief, reportedly wide-spread, that homegrown terrorism is an “inevitable” response to the UK’s involvement in Iraq and reluctance to call for an “immediate ceasefire” in the Middle East. HMG’s rather heated response to the letter is undoubtedly aimed at swaying broader opinion.
(U) FULL TEXT OF LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER BLAIR
¶10. (U) Begin text of letter:
Prime Minister, As British Muslims we urge you to do more to fight against all those who target civilians with violence, whenever and wherever that happens.
It is our view that current British government policy risks putting civilians at increased risk both in the UK and abroad.
To combat terror the government has focused extensively on
LONDON 00005958 003 OF 003
domestic legislation. While some of this will have an impact, the government must not ignore the role of its foreign policy.
The debacle of Iraq and now the failure to do more to secure an immediate end to the attacks on civilians in the Middle East not only increases the risk to ordinary people in that region, it is also ammunition to extremists who threaten us all.
Attacking civilians is never justified. This message is a global one. We urge the Prime Minister to redouble his efforts to tackle terror and extremism and change our foreign policy to show the world that we value the lives of civilians wherever they live and whatever their religion.
Such a move would make us all safer.

¶9. (C) COMMENT: Since 7/7, HMG has invested considerable time and resources in engaging the British Muslim community. The current tensions demonstrate just how little progress has been made. At the same time, the Muslim community’s reaction to the arrests of 24 of its own sons - a knee-jerk reaction blaming HMG - shows that its leaders too have far to go. That said, the Muslim community is not the only element in Britain blaming HMG’s foreign policy for inciting radical elements; the left in particular but even the mainstream press has expressed the belief, reportedly wide-spread, that homegrown terrorism is an “inevitable” response to the UK’s involvement in Iraq and reluctance to call for an “immediate ceasefire” in the Middle East. HMG’s rather heated response to the letter is undoubtedly aimed at swaying broader opinion.
(U) FULL TEXT OF LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER BLAIR
¶10. (U) Begin text of letter:
Prime Minister, As British Muslims we urge you to do more to fight against all those who target civilians with violence, whenever and wherever that happens.
It is our view that current British government policy risks putting civilians at increased risk both in the UK and abroad.
To combat terror the government has focused extensively on
LONDON 00005958 003 OF 003
domestic legislation. While some of this will have an impact, the government must not ignore the role of its foreign policy.
The debacle of Iraq and now the failure to do more to secure an immediate end to the attacks on civilians in the Middle East not only increases the risk to ordinary people in that region, it is also ammunition to extremists who threaten us all.
Attacking civilians is never justified. This message is a global one. We urge the Prime Minister to redouble his efforts to tackle terror and extremism and change our foreign policy to show the world that we value the lives of civilians wherever they live and whatever their religion.
Such a move would make us all safer.
(Signed) Sadiq Khan MP, Shahid Malik MP, Mohammed Sarwar MP, Lord Patel of Blackburn, Lord Ahmed of Rotherham, Baronness Uddin, Association of Muslim Schools, British Muslim Forum, Bolton Mosques Council for Community Care, Confederation of Sunni Mosques, Midlands Council of Nigerian Muslim Organizations, Council of Mosques - London and Southern Counties, Council of Mosques Tower Hamlets, Da’awtul Islam UK and Eire, Federation of Muslim Organizations (Leicestershire), Federation of Students Islamic Societies (FOSIS), Indian Muslim Federation, Islamic Forum Europe, Islam Society of Britain, Jama’at Ahle Sunnat UK, Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadith UK, Jamiat-e-Ulema Britain, Lancashire Council of Mosques, Muslim Association of Britain, Muslim Council of Britain, Muslim Council of Wales, Muslim Doctors and Dentists Association, Muslim Parliament, Muslim Solidarity Committee, Muslim Students Society UK and Eire, Muslim Welfare House (London), Muslim Women Society (MWS), Muslim Women’s Association, Northern Ireland Muslim Family Association (NIMFA), Sussex Muslim Society, The Council of European Jamaats, UK Action Committee on Islamic Affairs, UK Islamic Mission, UK Turkish Islamic Association, World Federation of KSIMC, World Islamic Mission, Young Muslim Organization UK, Young Muslim Sisters UK, Young Muslims UK.

Shiite doctor Naushad Valiyani arrested for alleged blasphemy for throwing away business card of Muhammad Faizan in Pakistan
From AFP
Source: AFP, AP
Comments: Doesn't take much to 'insult' or 'blaspheme' Islam and the hypersensitive Muslims does it?
This is exactly what is also happening in the West with criticism of the problems with Islam and Muslims being labeled as 'hate' and 'Islamophobia' - in other words, insult or blasphemy.
Sunni-Shiite clash also involved here.
Members of the Ahmadi sect of Islam are also frequent target of blasphemy accusations.
There is also the case of Christian woman Asia Bibi, sentenced to death after an argument with Muslims women who insulted her by saying water she carried was 'unclean' (In Pakistan Christians are frequently considered unclean). Her death sentence is set to be appealed.
Can't blame 'racist' 'facist' 'imperialists' (and whatever hate-labels and name calling the PC fascists and Islamofascists fancy) White Westerners, or Christian 'crusaders', or invaders or occupiers, or Zionists (Jews) for this one - the usual suspect scape goats for all and any problems of Islam and Muslims.
This is Islam's 'bloody innards' so nothing to do with 'infidels' or 'Kuffar'.

Asia Bibi (aka Aasia Bibi and Aasia Noreen) case summary - Christians unclean, pressured to conver to Islam, defending Christianity as blasphemy
A brief summary of some main points from Asia Bibi's case from a TIME magazine article.
Source: TIME (Magazine)
Comment:
Where are those bleeding heart liberals, romantists and 'human rights' people, always concerned about the rights of terrorists, Islamists, Muslims and anything to do with Islam now?
And where are those moralizers who like using words like 'discrimination', 'prejudice', 'bigotry', 'hate', 'equality' and all sorts of other Newspeak words?
Too busy putting Christians, Whites, the US, the West, those fighting terrorism and those making legitimate criticism of Islam under the microscope to see the 800 lb gorilla in the room?
Oh and of course those hypersensitive Muslims that always gets enraged and protest any wrong, however minor, against Muslims are protesting now too as usual, but for Bibi's death this time.
There is a curious question as to why these discriminated and oppressed Christians don't use it as an excuse for terrorism?
The most important point from here is the fact that Muslims consider Christian defense of their religion as insults to Islam or blasphemy. But Christians who reject Islam need to explain the reasons for their rejection and those explanations would invariable involve showing how and why Islam is a false religion. And this is not to blaspheme but merely to explain one's belief.
The reason why this point is important is that there is a trend emerging in West where politically correct elites don't want anyone debating or criticizing anyone else in order to force through their dogma that everything and anything is good and equal so that there should be no choice or individuality (choice is 'discrimination') and that nothing is bad, except the questioning of their dogma by un-PC heretics.
So keep in mind the Islamic blasphemies and the politically correct (PC) blasphemies, and note the similarities between the two.

A group of women farm workers were suffering in the heatLiberal lawmaker Sherry Rehman said that although the blasphemy law was unlikely to be repealed, the positive result from this case was that “It's not a taboo subject anymore”.
Aasia Noreen ... offered them water
[She] was a Christian, they said, and therefore her water was unclean — sadly, a common taunt
But rather than swallowing the indignity, she mounted a stout defense of her faith.
In a depressingly familiar pattern, [it] was twisted into an accusation of blasphemy
The district judge relied on the testimonies of three other women, all of whom bore animus toward her.
Noreen had long been under pressure by fellow farmworkers to convert to Islam, her family says.
The Lahore High Court has taken the controversial step of saying that it won't allow President Asif Ali Zardari to issue a pardon, a move that legal experts have said is unconstitutional.
Christians are subject to vicious prejudice in Pakistan, where there beliefs are said to make them "unclean." Municipalities routinely advertise jobs for cleaners with a note saying they would prefer Christian applicants. And defending their rights is not popular.
While no one has been executed for blasphemy yet, 32 people — including two judges — have been slain by vigilantes.

WikiLeaks summary - Saudis donors fund terrorists, Saudi king wants Iranian snake's head cut off, Iranian Red Crescent is a front group for Iran
A brief summary of a few of the details to emerge from the US embassy cables leaked by WikiLeaks
Saudi donors were chief financiers of militant groups such as al-Qaeda2
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah “frequently exhorted the US to attack Iran to put an end to its nuclear weapons programme” and asked them to “cut off the head of the snake” at a meeting in 2008.2
Leaders in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt referred to Iran as "evil", an "existential threat" and a power that "is going to take us to war"3
Officials in Jordan and Bahrain have openly called for Iran's nuclear programme to be stopped by any means, including military.3
Iranian Red Crescent was used by Iran to smuggle Iranian weapons and agents to Hezbollah during 2006 Israel-Lebanon war.4
'He [a credible source] said Iran used the IRC to enter Iraq during the 1980-86 war between the two countries, to get into the Balkans in the 1990s and to support Shia opposition in Bahrain and Yemen from 1997-2000. According to the cable, he said he was asked to sign certificates for two or three al-Quds officers to travel to Iraq under cover of the IRC after the US invasion. He was then asked to sign between 10 and 30 certificates. He said he refused and they were signed by a superior.'4
Israel says Palestinian Red Crescent also help move Palestinian fighters around.4
Kim Jong-il, of North Korea, was said to suffer from epileptic fits2
'Iran had obtained missiles from North Korea to give it the capacity to launch strikes on capitals in Western Europe for the first time.'2
'According to a cable dated last Feb 24, North Korea sent to Iran 19 of the missiles, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead' and it 'significantly advanced Iran’s development of intercontinental ballistic missiles'2
'UAE foreign minister says Iran's support for terrorism is far broader than Hamas and Hizbollah'1
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is described as being 'like Hitler'.1
'King Abdullah who called President Asif Ali Zardari the greatest obstacle to progress, adding: “When the head is rotten, it affects the whole body.”'2
Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi is accompanied everywhere by a ‘voluptuous blonde’ Ukrainian nurse.1

Comment: Not very politically correct talks in secret while censoring everyone else. Nothing too new or too much either. It can all be easily guessed even with the tiny amount of information that had been put up on this site over the past two months.
The real revelation from these leaks is the absence of any mention by the polite PC diplomats of the religion of Islam or Muslims and their culture, and the role they play in all of the world's problems.
As Germany's Family Minister Kristina Schröder said 'Religion was part of culture and culture shaped behaviour'
Or could it be that WikiLeaks did not leak any critical assessment of Islam, Muslims or their culture?
There is no hope of a solution unless the problem is honestly and truthfully stated.
And it is no time for political correctness when innocent people are being persecuted and even killed daily.

Leaders in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt referred to Iran as "evil", an "existential threat" and a power that "is going to take us to war"3
Officials in Jordan and Bahrain have openly called for Iran's nuclear programme to be stopped by any means, including military.3
Iranian Red Crescent was used by Iran to smuggle Iranian weapons and agents to Hezbollah during 2006 Israel-Lebanon war.4
'He [a credible source] said Iran used the IRC to enter Iraq during the 1980-86 war between the two countries, to get into the Balkans in the 1990s and to support Shia opposition in Bahrain and Yemen from 1997-2000. According to the cable, he said he was asked to sign certificates for two or three al-Quds officers to travel to Iraq under cover of the IRC after the US invasion. He was then asked to sign between 10 and 30 certificates. He said he refused and they were signed by a superior.'4
Israel says Palestinian Red Crescent also help move Palestinian fighters around.4
Kim Jong-il, of North Korea, was said to suffer from epileptic fits2
'Iran had obtained missiles from North Korea to give it the capacity to launch strikes on capitals in Western Europe for the first time.'2
'According to a cable dated last Feb 24, North Korea sent to Iran 19 of the missiles, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead' and it 'significantly advanced Iran’s development of intercontinental ballistic missiles'2

Comment: Not very politically correct talks in secret while censoring everyone else. Nothing too new or too much either. It can all be easily guessed even with the tiny amount of information that had been put up on this site over the past two months.
The real revelation from these leaks is the absence of any mention by the polite PC diplomats of the religion of Islam or Muslims and their culture, and the role they play in all of the world's problems.
As Germany's Family Minister Kristina Schröder said 'Religion was part of culture and culture shaped behaviour'
Or could it be that WikiLeaks did not leak any critical assessment of Islam, Muslims or their culture?
There is no hope of a solution unless the problem is honestly and truthfully stated.
And it is no time for political correctness when innocent people are being persecuted and even killed daily.

US judge rules there's “ample evidence” to justify labeling CAIR an unindicted Hamas terrorist co-conspirator
U.S. District Judge Jorge A. Solis has ruled that there is "ample evidence" CAIR engaged in "a conspiracy to support Hamas" and has refused a request to 'strike its name from documents listing it as an unindicted co-conspirator' in the Holy Land Foundation terror funding case.
The ruling was made in July 2009 but only unsealed on Friday.
CAIR was first named as an unindicted co-conspirator in 2007 and in 2008 the Holy Land Foundation and its leaders were convicted of leading a scheme to funnel more that $12 million, disguised as charity, to Hamas suicide bombers and their families.
Evidence against CIAR includes documents showing that it and it's founding chairman Omar Ahmad operated as key members of the U.S. wing of Hamas called ''Palestine Committee,'' and FBI wiretaps and testimony showing the presence of Ahmad and it's acting executive director, Nihad Awad, at a Philadelphia hotel room meeting during the last decade with Hamas leaders.
At that meeting, which was organized and led by Ahmad, they decided to deceptively substitute 'Hamas' with 'Samah' – a backward spelling of 'Hamas,' laid out plans to use Palestine committee to channel funds for Hamas, and to found CAIR as a front group for the media.
Despite these facts, media outlets, including Fox News, which is financed by the same Saudi prince funding CAIR, continue to invite CAIR, self-described as a “civil-rights advocacy organization,” for comments.

AFP reports,
It did not give details but said North Korea used "masking techniques" including mislabelling containers, falsifying ships' manifests and destination details "and use of multiple layers of intermediaries, shell companies, and financial institutions."[Emphasis added][ Currently, it appears certain that Iran has been caught shipping weapons illegally to Nigeria. Some of the methods used by Iran in the shipment includes mislabeling containers and a claim, rejected by Nigerian authorities, that the cargo ended up in Nigeria by accident. This suggests the North Koreans are not only trading weapons but might also be sharing information with Iran on how to illegally transfer cargoes. Iran seems to be using the same methods the U.N. says North Korea uses to transfer illegal cargoes.

Nigeria said to have evidence linking Iran to secret weapons shipment to the country
Nigeria says two Iranians, Azimi Agajany and Sayed Akbar Tahmaesebi were behind the secret shipment of 13 containers of weapons, including 107mm artillery rockets, rifle rounds2 and grenades,1 to the country. The shipment was made by them through a Tehran-based company called International Trading and General Construction.2 The containers, deceptively labeled "packages of glass wool and pallets of stone", were loaded at Bandar Abbas in Iran by France based shipping company CMA CGM and arrived at Lagos in July.2
The containers sat at the port until October 26 2 and were about to be shipped to Gambia1 when it was seized by the Nigerian authorities, who said it had been monitored before arrival.2 The authorities also said the cargo was intended for Nigeria and that "any argument that the cargo came into the country by mistake is false."1 They believe the arms were ordered by some local politicians to be used if they lose in next year's election.2
These revelations come only a fews days after Iranians demonstrated shouting “Death to America” outside the former US embassy in Tehran, which they now call “Den of Spies”.3

Days after Pakistan sentenced Christian woman to death for blasphemy, Muslim countries will vote again at the UN for global blasphemy law
Only days after a Christian woman, Asia Bibi, was sentenced to death for blasphemy in Pakistan, U.N. members will again vote this week on the resolution “On Combating Defamation of Religions” put forward by Organization of the Islamic Conference, made up of 57 states with large Muslim populations.3 The resolution calls for a ban on expressions which offend religious sensibilities. Pakistan has been pushing for an international blasphemy law since 1999.3
[Theo Van Gogh was murdered in 2004, on the 2nd of this month, by a Muslim for making a short film called "Submission" that was considered blasphemous. Molly Norris, who a few months ago urged people to draw pictures of Muhammad as an exercise of free speech has had to changed her name and go into hiding following FBI advice, after death threats. The threat from Muslims is there. The only difference is tactical, between those who openly use violence and those who engage in stealth jihad and lawfare, playing the victim card, while issuing death sentences, such as those at the U.N. on this issue.]

[Note: The New York Times article by Paula Schriefer contains some false "moral equivalence" arguments, such as trying to equate (or suggest) the Danish Muhammad cartoons and opposition to the 9-11 mosque in New York with things such as death penalty for blasphemy.

It is unlikely that the New York Times would publish anything critical of Islam without also including some criticism of others, however minor, trivial, petty and insignificant it may be.

Freedom House's Paula Schriefer wrote in the New York Times that it was hypocritical that countries with appalling religious and other human right records, such as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt were pushing for the resolution.3 He also pointed out that blasphemy laws were used to suppress religious minorities and those dissenting from orthodoxy, or simply to settle personal scores.3
According to AsiaNews.it, the National Commission on Justice and Peace (NCJP) of the Catholic Church recorded 974 people being charged for “defiling the Qur'an or insulting the Prophet Muhammad” between 1986 and August 2009 in Pakistan.2 Christians and Ahmadis (who do not consider Muhammad the last prophet) there made up less than 2 percent of the population but accounted for nearly half of the cases during the last two decades, showing how minorities were disproportionately targeted.3
Deacon Keith Fournier wrote on Catholic Online that,
This so called "Blasphemy Law" is in actuality an instrument of oppression with which Christians and other religious believers are persecuted by Islamic supremacists.”2The Catholic League, which is an anti-defamation organization, also claim that blasphemy laws were
designed to give Islamist nations the right to plunder the religious rights of non-Muslims—under the guise of fighting religious intolerance!1It said that “it is one thing to issue a news release, conduct a letter-writing campaign, call for a boycott or hold a street demonstration; it is quite another to criminalize offensive speech” and has urged for the resolution to be voted down.1

(Bad) Muslim psychology: The blame game
Iran has arrested four alleged Kurdish terrorists and accused Britain of link to them via Jalil Fattahi, thought to be living in Britain. The British deny supporting terror. Political science teacher Houchang Hassan-yari, of Canada's Royal Military College said,
it is Tehran's standard practice to finger "outside forces and outside enemies for everything bad that goes on inside the country."[It is not just Tehran. It is how so many Muslims think. They simply blame others for all that's wrong with themselves, either to excuse themselves or to denigrate others.]

A religious female Muslim Trojan Horse assasin Roshonara Choudhry convicted in UK of murder attempt on MP
Roshonara Choudhry, 21, an ethnic Bangladeshi,5 attempted to kill British Labour party member of parliament Stephen Timms, 55, on the 14th of May this year3 for having voted in favor of the Iraq War.
Choudhry hid two knives, a three inch kitchen knife and a five inch blade, in case one of them broke, under her full Muslim black dress and headscarf2 as she came to see the MP for an appointment1 she made as a constituent.
She looked friendly,3 smiled and pretended to shake hands before managing to stab him twice in the stomach with the kitchen knife,4 in cold blood without any feelings.2 The knife punctured the MP's liver and stomach,2 but he has since made a full recover.4
She also had a list of other MPs who voted for the Iraq war.4
She seems to have acted alone after becoming self-radicalized by browsing jihad websites3 and listening to Anwar al-Awlaki's Internet sermons.5
She did not attend the trial and ordered her lawyer not to contested the charges against her saying she did not accept the court's jurisdiction.4

Western couple called "swine" & "infidels" during Islamic marriage renewal ceremony in Maldives
The couple were unaware the "Islamic blessing"3 ceremony was a fake, with the marriage celebrant Hussein Didi2 speaking insults in the native Dhivehi2 language while pretending to perform the ceremony. There were insults throughout the ceremony, including during Islamic prayer with hands raised1,2 and while speaking in Islamic chants tone1,2 as if reciting the Koran.1
Didi called the couple "swine"1,2 and told them their children will be "bastard swine".1,2 He said their marriage was not "valid"1,2 since one of them was an "infidel"1,2 and the other was likely an atheist that "does not even believe in an infidel religion."1,2 He told them to keep "fornicating"1,4 and spreading "hatred".1,4
Also included in the insults were; that homosexuals frequently fornicate,1,2 that Westerners "bugger"1 chicken and were "familiar with the taste of the ****holes of chicken",1 and complaints about employment conditions.1
Apart from Didi, there were 10-15 other employees2 of the Vilu Reef Beach and Spa Resort1,2 where the ceremony took place, who witnessed the events but non intervened. Instead some of them took to rudely2 discussing the woman's breasts and questioning whether she was wearing a bra.1,3 One of them joined in by denigrating kissing, calling it mouth sucking.1,2 It seems everyone thought it was funny since it only became public after one of them posted the video of the incident on Youtube as a “a joke”.1,2

Imam warned to be "different" when reporter visited hate mosque, says Ex-Muslim
Ex-Muslim Christain Zakaryia Ezzat, now a young man, said when he was a Muslim, "mosques fostered an incredible hatred toward Jews and America", but during a visit by a Reno Gazette Journal reporter for a story on Islam, a friend told him "'I had to warn the imam to be different.'" He also said if there was freedom "many people will leave Islam and it will cease as the dominant religion". Zak and other ex-Muslims will be speaking at "The Forum for Middle East Understanding" to be held on Nov. 21 in Killeen, Texas, near Fort Hood.

A leading2 Arab-Israeli human rights activist,5 Amir Makhoul, 52, who has said attacks on Israeli civilians are not war crimes,3 has admitted and pleaded guilty to "contact with a foreign agent"5 and "conspiring to assist an enemy during a time of war",5 as part of a plea bargain. The prosecution in return has dropped the charge of “assisting”2,5 an enemy during war, which could have resulted in a life sentence if found guilty.2 Charges specifically linking his activities to Hezbollah has also been dropped.3 Makhoul now faces only up to 10 years in prison. The State Prosecutor's Office said the guilty plea puts an end to unfounded allegations that the charges were politically motivated and that wrongful means were used to acquired the confession.6
The charges against Hakhoul includes meeting Hezbollah agents during his travels,6 including to Denmark,5 and passing information to them on at least 10 occasions,6 [including] “street address, directions, and security arrangements for several strategic locations, including Shin Bet offices, Mossad offices, the Nachshonim military base, the Rafael weapons systems factory, and the home of Shin Bet head Yuval Diskin.”3 During the 2006 war with Hezbollah, he is alleged to have passed on the location of rocket strikes in Israel3 [probably] so Hezbollah could calculate the accuracy of it's attacks,4 and where he believed captured Lebanese fighters were held.1 He allegedly also tried to pass on a video of a failed terror attack against a Haifa mall.6
Makhoul was a former director of Ittijah, the Union of Arab Community-Based Associations and had also been chairman of High Arab Monitoring Committee's panel on defending Arab citizens' freedoms.6 [He most likely used the knowledge gained from serving in these posts to aid terror,] as he is also accused of giving Hezbollah a list of Arab-Israelis potentially willing to be recruited.3 One of his alleged terror contact was Hussan Jaja, a fellow community activist in Jordan, to whom he is said to have sent information using sophisticated encryption programmes2 or a coded email program.1 Another political activist, Omar Sayid, who was arrest along with Makhoul, had also had been charged with spying2 but has been released after pleading guilty to a lesser charge.5 MK Azmi Bishara also faced charges of spying but has fled the country and there have been other less well known cases of Arab-Israelis betraying to the terrorists.3
