Here's a new one: "Obama is a Jew"

Because, you see, he "leads a country that is an enemy to Muslims," so what else could he be? The Jews are the Muslims' worst enemies, according to Qur'an 5:82.
Also, the Islamic supremacist Ground Zero mosque Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is in Jakarta, talking about how Obama's visit to Indonesia would help, the Globe's words, "change negative perceptions of Islam." How? And why not work on changing negative perceptions of Islam by working to reform the texts and teachings of Islam that jihadists use to justify violence and supremacism?
"Hardline Group Plans Widespread Indonesian Protests Over Obama Visit," by Ulma Haryanto, Fitri and Rahmat in the Jakarta Globe, November 7 (thanks to Her Royal Whyness):
Jakarta. One of the country's most conservative hard-line Islamic groups has lashed out against the upcoming visit by the "cruel" US President Barack Obama, despite most commentators viewing it as an embrace of the Muslim world. On Saturday and Sunday, there were rallies organized by Hizbut Tahrir in Jakarta, Mataram in East Nusa Tenggara, and Makassar in South Sulawesi.
A spokesman for the group estimated that across the three cities 20,000 took part, while independent estimates put the Jakarta protest at about 2,000.
Ismail Yusanto, a spokesman for the group, called Obama "a cruel president, no different from [George W.] Bush, with blood on his hands, and without [showing] the slightest compassion."
He lashed out against the role he said the US played in the "destruction of Muslim countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan and the killing of the people there."
"Obama may be a guest, but there are two kinds of guests: the good kind and the problematic kind," Ismail said, adding that Obama fell in the latter category.
The hostile reaction in the run-up to the landmark visit comes amid reconciliatory moves by the White House toward Muslims following Obama's 2009 Cairo speech.
Then, he said he was seeking "a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world."
Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy national security adviser for strategic communication, previously said a planned visit to Istiqlal Mosque, Indonesia's largest, would "underscore the themes that he's made in terms of outreach to [Muslims] around the world."
He said the president would also "be able to speak to Indonesia's rise as a democracy, Indonesia's rise as an emerging economy, and the pluralism that its story represents."
Similarly, Nahdlatul Ulama, Indonesia's largest Islamic organization, said Obama's visit would strengthen ties between the United States and the Islamic world, and condemned the small groups of extremists opposed to it.
On Friday, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, founder and chief executive of the American Society for Muslim Advancement and leader of the Al-Farah Mosque in New York, said at the State Palace in Central Jakarta that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's meeting with Obama presented an opportunity to promote cooperation and change negative perceptions of Islam.
"You will have the opportunity to discuss with my president in the next few days ... how we can work together and cooperate together to create this kind of momentum -- global momentum," he said.
However, Hizbut Tahrir's Ismail said the group was determined to greet Obama with protests.
Meanwhile, in Mataram on Saturday, around 1,000 Hizbut Tahrir demonstrators protested against "US imperialism in Indonesia."
Protesters were seen holding banners that said "Obama is a Jew" -- a far cry from accusations he faces at home of being a Muslim -- and said Obama's visit will be an attempt to soften up the Indonesian authorities and boost US economic and political interests in the country and the region.
"We must remember that Obama leads a country that is an enemy to Muslims," Ismail said in Mataram.

Teen Slashed with Razor for Spurning 50-Year-Old Man...RAZOR ATTACK ON MUMBAI TEEN AT KURLA STATION

[ Date : Nov 2nd, 2010 ]
Razor_attack_on_MumbaiA 19-year-old girl was attacked last night near Kurla (E) station in Mumbai with a razor resulting in major cuts all over her body.The girl’s mother Naseem Bano alleges that the alleged attacker Sayyed Ali was sent by Kamaluddin Malik (50), who had promised to marry her daughter.
Around 11.30 pm, Sabina Shaikh moved out of her house to get something from a shop, when Ali attacked her with a shaving razor and fled from the spot.Bano alleges that Malik was only interested in having a physical relationship with her daughter and that’s why he hired a local goon to assault her.
“Since four years, Kamaluddin was promising to marry my daughter.  He used to make my daughter unconscious by giving drugs and then used to get physical with her.  We were against our daughter’s decision,” said Bano. “When my daughter forced him to marry her, he attacked my daughter,” added Bano.
Police Sub-Inspector Kalim Shaikh of Nehru Nagar police station said, “As soon as we were informed, we went to the spot and took the girl to Rajawadi Hospital.  At the time of the investigation, we came to know that the incident occurred in the Kurla railway station premises. Therefore, we have sent a letter to the railway police, as they will investigate this matter.”
A doctor from Rajawadi Hospital said, “When the girl was admitted, she was serious. She has suffered major injuries on her face, legs and breasts and has got around 100 stitches all over her body.”

Muslim Students at Catholic School Destroy Bibles...Muslim students in Malawi desecrate New Testaments

October 28, 2010




Muslim students attending a Catholic primary school in Malawi tore up New Testaments that were being distributed by the Gideons International organization, which promotes the distribution of Bibles.
“Although the school’s director had made it absolutely clear that no New Testaments were to be given to the Muslim pupils and that in no way was any student obliged to take a copy of the book, there was a subsequent uproar on the part of some Muslim youths, who tore up the New Testaments, threw them, howling at their teachers, and then threw the torn-up pages out onto the streets,” Aid to the Church in Need reported.
“The behavior of the youths has been an indicator of a danger in our midst,” said Father Medrick Chimbwanya, the parish priest. “Normally, the primary school youth in Malawi would not have the courage to tear up any book in the presence of their teacher, let alone a holy book. My conclusion is that there must be some awful training given to these youths which if left unchecked, means that we may have dangerous militants in Malawi in the near future.”
28% of Malawi’s 13.2 million residents are Catholic, according to Vatican statistics; 52% are Protestant, and 13% are Muslim.

Detroit Muslim Immigrants Urged to Jihad... Video urges Detroit area Muslims to attack

In a video released today, a senior al-Qaida leader calls for Muslims living in metro Detroit to commit jihadist attacks inside the U.S. -- a call that was condemned by a local Muslim-American leader.



In a 48-minute recording posted on the Internet, Adam Gadahn -- a native of California who is now al-Qaida's American spokesman -- called upon Muslims living in what he called "the miserable suburbs of Paris, London, Detroit" to attack Americans, citing as examples the Ft. Hood shooter in Texas and the man who tried to set off a bomb on a plane descending into Detroit Metro Airport on Christmas Day. 
Metro Detroit, known for its Muslim population, was the only U.S. city mentioned by the al-Qaida leader. London and Paris also have significant Muslim communities in their metro areas.
This was the first time in memory that al-Qaida referenced metro Detroit's Muslim population, say local leaders.
The video was publicized today by the Maryland-based SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors terrorism. The video has been posted on YouTube.
The Detroit FBI could not be immediately reached today for comment about the new video.
Speaking into a camera, Gadahn said he had a message "to my Muslim brothers residing in the states of the Zio-Crusader coalition … from the emigrant communities, like those which live on the margins of society in the miserable suburbs of Paris, London, Detroit."
He also addressed Muslims "arriving in America or Europe to study in its universities or seek their daily bread in the streets of its cities."
Gadahn tells Muslims living in metro Detroit and across the West:
"Know that jihad is your duty as well, and you have an opportunity to strike the leaders of unbelief and retaliate against them on their own soil. As long as there is no covenant between you and them, here you are in the battlefield just like heroes before you." Gadahn claimed that Muslims are religiously justified in the attacks because of U.S. military opearations in the Muslim world, but Gadahn's views have been slammed by other Muslims.
Gadahn then praises the actions of terrorists such as Mohammed Atta, one of the 9/11 hijackers; Nidal Hassan, the Ft. Hood shooter, and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the native of Nigeria who tried to set off a bomb on a Michigan-bound airliner. Gadahn also calls upon Muslims not to harm other Muslims or their property when committing jihadist attacks.
Gadahn's comments were attacked by Dawud Walid, head of the Michigan branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"He obviously doesn't know Muslims in Detroit," Walid said today. "It appears to be a desperate plea by al-Qaida, which has virtually no support among Muslims in any Western countries."
Gadahn "should turn himself in and renounce al-Qaida's murderous ideology," Walid said. "Up to 85% of al-Qaida's casulties are Muslims. His whole discourse is irrational and insane. … Al-Qaida is an enemy to Islam itself."
Tarek Baydoun, 26, of Dearborn also slammed Gadahn's remarks.
"He's either mentally ill or utterly evil," Baydoun said. "He has nothing to do with any faith tradition. He's disconnected from Muslim-American as can be."
Referring to Gadahn's remarks about what he called the "miserable suburbs" of Detroit, Baydoun said: "We have wonderful suburbs and communities." 
SITE said on its website that Gadahn "urged Muslims to take initiative and carry out acts of individual jihad in states of the 'Zio-Crusader coalition' in a video released on jihadist forums."
The video was made by the media branch of al-Qaida, as-Sahab, and is called "The Arabs and Muslims: Between the Conferences of Desertion … and the Individual Duty of Jihad,” said SITE.
The video also contains clips featuring Anwar al-Awlaki, the Yemeni cleric who previously lived in the U.S. and influenced the Christmas Day bomber.
