GEERT WILDERS TO PROTEST GROUND ZERO MOSQUE

Something tells me this Ground Zero mosque protest in New York City on September 11th could be much larger than anyone is expecting. Dutch politician Geert Wilders is certain to help in that effort. Dutch News is reporting that Wilders - after seeing his party make significant gains in recent elections there - will be speaking at the rally.

Via DutchNews:

Geert Wilders is to speak at the rally being held in New York on September 11 to protest at plans to build a mosque close to the site of Ground Zero, the PVV said on Friday.

The rally is being organised by a group called Stop Islamization Of America which says it is wrong to build a mosque so close to the place where some 3,000 died when Islamic extremists flew two planes into the World Trade centre.

It's pretty sad that a Dutch politician with real guts is coming to America to defend against a monument being built to Islamic conquest near ground zero while that city's mayor, Michael Bloomberg is the epitome of cowardice.

Sad. Very sad.

RIFQA BARY UPDATE: FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS

Do you remember that nice young lady from Columbus, OH who made the news one year ago shortly after her 17th birthday? Rifqa Bary converted from Islam to Christianity and fled from her parents, finding safety in Orlando, FL. Her parents demanded her return. She pleaded with America not to let that happen.

Her fate was tenuous for nearly the entire year. At one point, she was ordered back to Columbus. Now we have a judge saying that it will not be possible for Rifqa to be returned to her parents before her 18th birthday:

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A juvenile court judge in Columbus, Ohio, has granted a runaway Christian convert's request to declare reunion with her Muslim parents impossible, paving the way for the girl to fight deportation.

Magistrate Mary Goodrich said Thursday that reconciliation between Rifqa Bary and her parents isn't possible before she turns 18 on Tuesday. Goodrich also said it's not in the girl's best interest to return her to her native Sri Lanka.

The teenager has been battling cancer this year and is also an illegal immigrant. What does it say about us pro-illegal immigration enforcement conservatives that we want to prevent Bary from being deported?

Answer that one, liberals.

VIDEO: AD FROM CHALLENGER TO MUSLIM CONGRESSMAN

In light of how Alvin Greene (D) won his primary in South Carolina - by having a name similar to singer Al Green, maybe the Republicans in Keith Ellison's district can get a similar break in the general election. Ellison's opponent, Joel Demos has a last name that might subliminally tell voters he's a Democrat.

All that aside, Demos has released a very well done ad.



Ellison's ties to CAIR are very disturbing and should be a major campaign issue. Demos has an opportunity to exploit that issue but not sure if he will.

With the Ground Zero Mosque in the news daily at this point, Demos should press Ellison on the matter as well as the incumbent's ties to CAIR. Via Discover the Networks:

During the 2006 campaign, the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) Executive Director Nihad Awad spoke at an August 25th fundraiser for Ellison, who accepted thousands of dollars in donations from Awad and another CAIR leader. In October of that year, Ellison traveled to Florida on a fundraising tour that included a party hosted by Altaf Ali, CAIR's state director there.

The truth about CAIR is coming to light, albeit slowly. Whether Demos wins or not, like Toomey in Pennsylvania, he can do the nation a greater service by shining a light on his opponent.
