Is the Detroit Free Press Pro Honor Killing?

Pamela Geller, the outspoken opponent of the Islamization of America, was in Dearborn this past weekend speaking out at a conference against Islamic honor killings. Sunday was the one-year anniversary of the murder of 20-year-old Jessica Mokdad of Warren, Michigan, by her stepfather because she refused to conform to Islamic cultural norms for women.

The Detroit Free Press covered the event in their piece Muslims oppose anti-Islam gathering; dueling events held in Detroit, Dearborn. The article opens thus:

“Anti-Islam advocates from across the U.S. gathered in Dearborn today for a conference to bring attention to what they say is a problem of Muslim honor killings.”

Anti-Islam advocates? Really? How is being against killing a woman because she’s becoming too Western anti-Islam? The conference was clearly about the issue of honor killings, not against Muslims.  And what the hell is meant by “what they say is a problem of Muslim honor killings” supposed to mean?  Girl wears makeup, goes out with unapproved boys, tries to be her own person.  Stepdad kills girl for not conforming to Islam.  How can anyone in their right mind ‘say’ it’s a problem with anything else?

Later in the article, the Freep writer states that:

“Last year, Mokdad, 20, was shot dead by her stepdad in Warren. Geller said it was a (sic) honor killing based on Islam, but Assistant Prosecutor Bill Cataldo of Macomb County told the Free Press on Friday it was not. The family of Mokdad is opposed to the anti-Islam conference and didn’t want Mokdad’s name on it, Cataldo said.”

Yet, Geller on her Sunday April 29 post at her blog, Atlas Shrugs, points out that the prosecutor had something different to say a year ago:

“Macomb County Assistant Prosecutor Bill Contaldo said: “He thought she was becoming too Westernized. I think this was a very nice young lady wanting to experiment with Western culture without control and without abuse.” The Detroit Free Press reported: “Mokdad’s mother told police that Alfetlawi felt so shamed by her daughter’s Western ways. He killed her in an honor killing, Warren Police Sgt. Stephen Mills said.” Alfetlawi was so concerned about her behavior that he even forced her to go to a mosque and marry her boyfriend.”

You think the so-called journalists would be able to dig up that little tidbit on their own, especially since it was on their own damn news site.

Thankfully, we have freedom fighter Geller to keep them honest.  I’m close to Dearborn, so I kicked myself for not keeping up with her site so I could go to this conference.  I’ve remedied that and hopefully will get a chance to hear her speak in person in the future.  She and her team are putting together videos of the full conference but below is a teaser to see her and other anti-honor killing activists in action.

Surprise! Dead Neo-Nazi JT Ready was Part of Occupy Phoenix

Makes sense. The Occupy movement is full of socialist anti-Semites who hate America and recently dead JT Ready was a national socialist which is a socialist anti-Semite who hates America so they’re simpatico. The media is trying to claim he was a Tea Partier but here’s video proof that Ready was an Occupy supporter. The fat guy first interviewed is JT Ready:

Paul Harvey: If I Were the Devil

As most people know I’m not a Christian so I’m not endorsing particulars of the theology here – but I do believe that are god of light and gods of darkness; temples of enlightenment and cults of shadow; there is a White Lodge and a Black Brotherhood. We see their works in the world and see their members in our midst.

This audio was first made in 1965. Even non-Christians must admit it is prophetic:

An Illustration of Theocratic Thinking in Iran

This tidbit was in the latest KGS Nightwatch missive:

IIran: For the record. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei provided the following guidance in response to a question about whether it was sinful to use social media.   “In general, the use of social networking websites (such as Facebook, FriendFeed, Orkut, etc) is impermissible if their use entails a corrupt action (such as promoting corruption, spreading lies and false subjects) or if it creates fear of committing a sin, or if it boosts the enemies of Islam and Muslims, or if it is against the Islamic Republic’s laws.” Comment: Khamenei’s comment is worth noting by a Western Readership for two reasons. First is that it shows how Shi’i Muslims are expected to ask their role models for emulation – the ayatollahs — for guidance on everyday activities ranging from eating  to using social  media.   The second reason is that the Ayatollah’s response conflates fear of committing sin with violations of the laws of the Islamic Republic or just boosting the enemies of Islam. In this moral architecture, illegality and evil are the same. That means that a traffic offense or other violation of national law is a sin, just like failure to keep the Ramadan fast, for example. That is not how Iranian law works in daily practice, to be sure, but it is the thinking of the religious leadership and the extremely devout.  The West generally abandoned such thinking  before the Renaissance.

which is why Westerners, especially liberals, have such trouble understanding Iranian motivations.

I Guess Today Might Get Ugly if The New Black Panthers Get Their Way

The New Black Panther Party held a conference call to plan their “day of action” for “justice” for Trayvon Martin. Brietbart has a recording of their audio call where they openly call for violence nation wide. Via The Blaze this transcription of some of the rantings of Michelle Williams, the Tampa area NBPP chief of staff, exposes what sort of activism they are looking for:

“I say to everyone that is on this call right now, I‘m comin’ out of the gate…my prize right now this evening is going to be the bounty, the arrest– dead or alive– for George Zimmerman. You feel me? To every brother, to every female, I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man’s problem just to avoid violence. You feel me? It’s time to wake up, I don’t know how else…It’s in me to fight. It’s in me to raise up soldiers. It’s in me that every time my feet touch the ground the state of Florida- these crackers- they scared.

“I’m kinda pissed off right now that the state of Florida ain’t on fire. This could not have happened in L.A. because them brothers up there are not scared to riot. This could not have happened in St. Petersburg Florida, where the black man over there are ain’t scared to kill a cracker.”

The New Black Panter party has a large national presences with membership estimated in the thousands and have chapters in Europe, most notably France. In this respect they operate very similarly to 1%er motorcycle gangs like the Hell’s Angels, thus we can assume that national leadership here exerts influence over chapters worldwide.
They are also allied with radical Muslim groups like Hezbollah and openly support Al-Qaeda. So this sort of “community organizing” could easily lead to violence. National spokesman Chaun Kweli made this dire warning to listeners:

An act of war has been declared on us and we have no choice but to fight…[But] we have to be trained how to fight. See the whole purpose of the maneuver that’s happening in Sanford is to train in self-defense, because many of us think we’re prepared for a battle- just like many of us think we’re prepared for a fight- but if you are not training, if you are not stocking up water, if you are not stocking up food, if you are not stocking up weapons and artillery and survival books, and gas masks, and flashlights, and cantines, and ready-to-eat meals…if you are not stocking that up I don’t know how serious we are right now.

They’re socking up on food, water and weapons – are you? Here’s the recording.

Be careful out there.
