The American Apologist

In a Chicago Sun Times article about Michael Jackson’s death (a jewish conspiracy, no less) Nation of Islam leader, Minister Louis Farrakhan, ended with this quote about President Obama:

In speaking of Jackson finding his roots in the black community, Farrakhan said President Obama did the same when he said police “acted stupidly” in arresting Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. Obama later said that he had used a poor choice of words.

“His [Obama's] black started coming out,” Farrakhan said. “He had to pull that fella back in. Underneath, it shows you all his brilliance, his magnificence … he’s one of the brothers.”

So the President acted “black” when he started making foolish remarks — or was it because his comments contained racist accusations?  Just wondering….

On Sunday (7/19/2009) an Islamic group called “Hizb ut-Tahrir” opened a conference in the Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn, IL under the title of “Fall of Capitalism and Rise of Islam”. Although the group, which I’ve read is 50 years old or so, is not on the FBI/CIA terrorist list (and they claim to denounce terrorism), I am troubled by the fact that they want a Caliph to return to power.

Here’s more commentary:

“Hizb ut-Tahrir is one of the oldest, largest indoctrinating organizations for the ideology known as jihadism,” Walid Phares, director of the Future of Terrorism Project at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told FOXNews.com.

Phares said that Hizb ut-Tahrir, rather than training members to carry out terrorist acts like Al Qaeda, focuses instead on indoctrinating youths between ages of 9 and 18 to absorb the ideology that calls for the formation of an empire — or “khilafah” — that will rule according to Islamic law and condones any means to achieve it, including militant jihad.

Hizb ut-Tahrir often says that its indoctrination “prepares the infantry” that groups like Al Qaeda take into battle, Phares said.

“It’s like a middle school that prepares them to be recruited by the high school, which is Al Qaeda,” he said. “One would compare them to Hitler youth. … It’s an extremely dangerous organization.”

Phares said Hizb ut-Tahrir has strongholds in Western countries, including Britain, France and Spain, and clearly is looking to strengthen its base in the U.S.
