Muslim Congressman Backtracks on 'Madrassas' comment

Contrast this post with the one I put up yesterday that included an interview with Retired Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer on Fox & Friends. The subject of that interview was a newly released report, sponsored in part by the DHS, that concluded 'rightwing extremism' is a growing concern in America while all but ignoring Islamic extremism.

Now, as it stands today, there are two Muslim Congressmen. One is Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) and the other is Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN). This video is now becoming a problem for Carson because it shows him at a recent ICNA-MAS convention at which he said that American public schools should be modeled after Islamic "madrassas."

Via Breitbart TV, via Shoebat:



ICNA stands for Islamic Circle of North America and it is a Muslim Brotherhood group that seeks the overthrow of the United States government from within, a fact that is demonstrably provable, courtesy of a 1991 document that was seized by U.S. authorities and used in the Holy Land Foundation trial.

MAS stands for the Muslim American Society, a group that was formed one year after that 1991 document was penned. Unfortunately for the MAS, that group has identified the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Muslim Students Association (MSA) - both groups that were also identified in that 1991 document as Muslim Brotherhood groups - as like minded organizations.

So while the DHS is building up the rightwing extremism straw man, a Congressman of the United States is speaking to groups and individuals who should be considered domestic enemies.

Well, apparently, this revelation wasn't lost on Carson, who is now walking back his assertion that American public schools should be modeled after madrassas.

Via Huffington Post (h/t WZ):

My remarks at ICNA call attention to the fact that faith-based schools throughout this country have excelled because of innovative instructional methods and a willingness to engage different learning styles – whether visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. While I do not believe that any particular faith should be the foundation of our public schools, it is important that we take note of the instructional tools these schools utilize to empower their young people. Christian, Jewish, and Islamic schools have experienced notable success by casting off a one-size-fits-all approach to education, and this is a model we must replicate. Having attended a parochial elementary school myself, I’ve seen these successes first hand. If we are going to take American education to the next level, we must expand successful models and implement the practices that will enable success for our students.

Busted... Liar...

In a sane world, Carson would be brought up on charges of treason as these groups seek the destruction of western civilization... in their own words, which are stated clearly in that 1991 document. Here is a direct quote:

The Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions.

Unfortunately, the world is a little insane right now.

Video: DHS Doubling Down on 'Rightwing Extremism'?

In early 2009, a DHS report focused on alleged 'Rightwing Extremism' and seemed more interested in a threat that either didn't exist or was infinitesimally small, compared to the threat of Islamic extremism / Jihadist attacks. In this video exchange on Fox & Friends, Retired Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer talks about the latest literature from DHS. Also, take note of how Shaffer singles out CAIR and wants to know why there's not more concern about them since they were an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial.

Does Anthony Weiner's Mother-in-Law Condone his Raping her Daughter?

Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack

It's common knowledge that former Congressman Anthony Weiner has had trouble suppressing his sexual appetites but if one of those appetites is the rape of his wife – Huma Abedin – his mother-in-law shouldn't object, according to the standards of a group she endorses.

Saleha Abedin, Weiner's mother-in-law, is not only a leader of the Muslim Sisterhood but she has endorsed the mission of the International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child (IICWC), which includes the acceptance of marital rape. This became apparent when her name appeared on the list of participants of the Islamic Conference for The Islamic Uprising.

Here is a screen shot from the Rabita Trust website that has since been scrubbed. It highlights Saleha's membership with IICWC:












This presents quite the conundrum for the elder Abedin because it would mean that she not only permitted her practicing Muslim daughter to marry a Jew but that Huma's rape at Weiner's hand must be considered acceptable to Saleha as well.

The reason Saleha does not have a problem with the marriage in the first place is almost certainly due to a tactic that Huma is employing. It's called Muruna and it permits the lifting of all prohibitions in Islam if the objective is to further the cause of Islam itself.

Does Muruna sanction a Muslim woman submitting to rape by a Jewish man if he is her husband?

Though difficult to fathom, there is precedent in Islam's holy writ for marital rape. Consider Qur'an 2:223, which says:

Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will...

If there is one shining example of having complete control over - and no respect for - one's wife, the right to rape her would be it. Yet, in the wake of the twitter sexting scandal last year, Weiner allegedly said the following about his sexual addictions according to the New York Post:

“My problem is that I have three women I have to convince that I'm cured: Huma, her mother -- and Hillary,” Weiner, 46, told a friend...

Why would the former Congressman have to convince his mother-in-law that he's cured of a sex addiction when evidence exists that she condones the rape of her daughter by the Jewish Weiner?

In fact, wouldn't Saleha have the bigger problem under such a scenario?

**UPDATE** Contrary to some of the reaction to this post, we in no way are making the claim that Anthony Weiner is a rapist. The point is that based on Saleha Abedin's connection to the IICWC, which condones marital rape (in much the same way that Planned Parenthood condones abortion), it seems that she would condone such a practice within the marriage between her daughter and Weiner.
