MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Not every Muslim is a terrorist. But virtually every terrorist is a Muslim. Bring up this inconvenient truth, and you’re automatically accused of “profiling” or being an “Islamophobe.” But, come on baby, this is one fact that even the spin doctors of Islam cannot give the Taqiyya twist …

“TRENTON, N.J. – New York City police did not violate New Jersey laws when they conducted surveillance of Muslim businesses, mosques and student groups, Gov. Chris Christie’s administration said Thursday following a three-month review, a finding that angered Muslim leaders who had sought a clampdown on the cross-border police operations.

The conclusion by Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa, a Christie appointee asked by the governor to look into the spying, means New Jersey Muslims have no state recourse to stop the New York Police Department from infiltrating student groups, videotaping mosque-goers or collecting their license plate numbers as they pray.

Such operations were part of a widespread NYPD program to collect intelligence on Muslim communities both inside New York and beyond. Undercover officers and informants eavesdropped in Muslim cafes and monitored sermons, even when there was no evidence of a crime. The result was that many innocent business owners, students and others were cataloged in police files…

‘It was basically an, ‘FYI, good Thursday afternoon, let it die in the media before the Memorial Day weekend,” said Mohamed El-Filali, executive director of the Islamic Center of Passaic County, across the Hudson River from New York…

‘I said to him it’s not only insulting, it’s offensive to our sense of justice …’

The Muslim leaders said they would consider all legal options, including renewed appeals for action by the U.S. Justice Department. A federal civil rights lawsuit has also been considered.” Read more.

Flashback: New Study Shows That 80% of Mosques in America Teach Jihad Violence and Islamic Supremacism – “… Then there was the Center for Religious Freedom’s 2005 study, and the Mapping Sharia Project’s 2008 study. Each independently showed that upwards of 80% of mosques in America were preaching hatred of Jews and Christians and the necessity ultimately to impose Islamic rule. And now comes yet more confirmation that mosques in the U.S. are teaching these things, and again the percentage is remarkably similar: around 80% of mosques are found to be teaching jihad warfare and Islamic supremacism. This study is extensive and detailed.” Read more.

Flashback: Seeking ‘To Communicate The Message Of Islam’: Another Islamic ‘Charity’ Caught Promoting Extremism And Terror – “The charitable wing of a major American Muslim organization is promoting donations to extremist causes, undercutting a nationwide campaign to improve its image. The website link from the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) Relief division hints at deeper connections to extremism and terror, both by the charitable branch and by its parent organization.” Read more.

Flashback: Report: Saudis Export Anti-Christian and Anti-Jewish Textbooks that Continue to Fuel Intolerance and Violence Around the Globe – “Textbooks used in Saudi Arabia’s schools contain virulent forms of anti-Christian and anti-Jewish bigotry that continue to fuel intolerance and violence around the globe, says a new report…  ‘Because of the Saudis’ great oil wealth, it is able to disseminate its textbooks … to many Muslim schools, mosques and libraries throughout the world. ‘This is not just hate mongering, it’s promoting violence,’ … Christians are referred to as ‘swine’ and Jews as ‘apes,’ while being blamed for much of the world’s ills.” Read more.

Flashback: Mother of Homegrown NY Jihadist: ‘My Son Was a Normal American Guy … Then He Became a Muslim and He Changed’ – “Sosa said her son’s personality began to change after the then-teenager swapped salsa for Islam about five years ago. ‘My son was a normal American guy,’ she said. ‘He did what young people do. Then he became a Muslim and he changed.’ … When he started reading the Koran in 2001, Sosa wasn’t happy because she’s a Catholic, but she noted that ‘in beginning, he wasn’t a fanatic.’ ‘He prayed and went to the mosque,’ she said. Over time, he stopped writing and listening to salsa music and spent his days praying, reading and sleeping. She said Pimentel’s fierce embrace of Islam — he converted in 2004, according to police — prompted her to move him back to the city from Schenectady in early 2010. ‘I brought him here because I didn’t like the way he was acting,’ she said… The move did not dampen his fervor.” Read more.

If the prospect of having a nation now considered one of the world’s largest religious freedom offenders leading NATO wasn’t disconcerting enough, then consider the fact that Turkey —  a country whose own government even today continues to deny its responsibility for the genocide of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians, whose own media even today openly vilifies Christians and whose own Prime Minister even today makes the demonization of Israel a central feature of his political discourse — is actively working to double the size of its military, now “upgraded” with new technology that will allow Turkish warplanes and ships to target Israel as an enemy who must “pay the price.” If this doesn’t give us all cause for serious concern, then nothing will …

By Albert Thompson, WND – “WASHINGTON – The North Atlantic Treaty Organization could be heading for a power shift, based on the impact of the economic uncertainties its members are facing and the results of the recent elections in Europe.

The heads of the 28 NATO member countries and other invited partner countries were in the United States for a two-day summit recently in Chicago. Several official announcements were made regarding NATO policy for the near future, including the Chicago Summit Declaration on Afghanistan; the Deterrence and Defense Posture Review; and the Summit Declaration on Defense Capabilities: Toward NATO Forces 2020.

Included was an acknowledgment from NATO’s leadership that recognizes the current economic difficulties of several of its members. Point five of the Deterrence and Defense Posture Review reads:

The current economic environment is a challenging one, as evidenced by recent reductions in many Allies’ defense budgets and the probability of further cuts. In particular, Allies recognize that the challenge of maintaining modern, effective conventional forces is especially acute in an era of limited budgets. Allies are committed to the maintenance of the full range of capabilities necessary to meet the Alliance’s level of ambition despite these financial difficulties, and are developing innovative approaches to cooperating in the development of our capabilities to help achieve this goal.

With the election of Monsieur Hollande in France, the commitment to saving the euro through austerity may be in jeopardy. Hollande, of the Socialist Party, is committed to a French withdrawal from Afghanistan ahead of the agreed 2014 date, and to raising top French income tax rates to 75 percent.

A further European economic stagnation that affects France and other major NATO members could reduce the fighting potential of the alliance, as defense budgets are being cut throughout the alliance.

Also, the United States continues to face economic difficulties. The economy of NATO’s wealthiest and most populous member only grew by only 2.2 percent in the first quarter of 2012.

Meanwhile Turkey, the first Islamic member of NATO – Albania joined the alliance in 2009 – continues to enjoy significant economic growth. Read more…
