Thanks to Islam, purses, seat cushions, coolers banned from NFL games

Forget about bringing your big purse or backpack — or even a cooler — to NFL games this season. They’ll all be banned, along with seat cushions and camera bags, at all NFL stadiums beginning with preseason games.

In a press release Thursday, the NFL Committee on Stadium Security said to a provide a “safer environment” and to “expedite fan entry,” NFL teams will implement a policy that will limit the size and types of bags that can be brought into stadiums.

Prohibited items include purses larger than a clutch bag, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, seat cushions, cinch bags or camera bags.

Game-goers are allowed to bring in bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12”. One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags are also allowed. NFLShop.com and club merchandise outlets will be selling official NFL team logo clear plastic tote bags.

“Our fans deserve to be in a safe and secure environment,” NFL vice president and chief security officer Jeffrey Miller said in a statement. “Public safety is our top priority. This will make the job of checking items much more efficient and effective. We will be able to deliver a better and quicker experience at the gates and also provide a safer environment. We appreciate our fans’ cooperation.”

The statement said that stadiums will establish a secondary perimeter around the stadium where security will check for prohibited items.

“This establishes a protected buffer area for fans in plaza-level areas and at the queues for stadium entry,” it said. “Any prohibited bag inside the second perimeter will be highly visible and more quickly resolved.”

Fans with bags that do not meet the criteria will be turned away from the stadium. The committee is encouraging stadiums to provide temporary storage facilities for banned items well outside the bag-restricted area.

 Actually we should thank feckless politicians in the U.S. who use the threat of terrorism to subjugate Americans under the guise of fighting terrorism (while ignoring the threat of sharia and jihad). Previously:

Univ of Chicago removes pews from chapel to accommodate Islamic prayers

via REPORT: University of Chicago removed pews from 88-year old chapel to accommodate Islamic prayers.

University of Chicago (UC) administrators permanently removed pews from an 88-year old chapel on campus in order to accommodate Islamic prayers, according to a local news report.

Chicago NPR affiliate, WBEZ news, reported on May 23, the pews, which are now part of display at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Chicago, were “removed in order to provide Muslim students a place to pray.”

Literature describing the artwork that was created by UC Director of Arts and Public Life Theaster Gates, also describes the removal of the pews as symbol of religious tolerance.

“The pews were recently removed from the chapel in order to offer Muslim students a place to pray, a symbolic gesture of religious tolerance,” according to an official description of the exhibit which includes a “set of repurposed pews from the University of Chicago’s campus church.”

A spokesperson for UC also appeared to confirm the reason for the pews’ removal in a statement emailed to Campus Reform on Friday.

h/t to Shoebat.com who notes the blatant lies of UC:

“The benches were removed… to make Bond Chapel a more appropriate comfortable space for its many uses: ceremonial, spiritual, and artistic,” said Susie Allen.

Allen, however, said the primary purpose for the change, which was part of a broader renovation, was to “accommodate the installation of a Boroque-style organ.”

The UC Muslim Student Association (MSA) also announced in its 2012-2013 edition of The Complete Muslims Guide to UChicago that Friday prayers would be held in the chapel once renovation was complete.

MSA was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, they share the same motto.

“Bond Chapel is where Friday prayers will be held once construction is over,” it says.

“Insha’Allah, Jumuah prayer will be held in Bond Chapel every Friday this quarter,” reads another announcement on the MSA Chicago website.

San Fran airport’s garage now a mosque complete w Islamic foot bath

Praying for our demise. via Airport’s garage now Muslim house of worship | Matier And Ross | an SFGate.com blog. h/t

Here’s a sign of the changing times — Muslim cabbies now have their very own place at San Francisco International Airport to wash their hands and feet before they pray.

Under Islamic law, Muslims are required to pray five times a day — a ritual that also calls for a ceremonial cleansing.

For many cab drivers, that’s meant either lugging bottled water around or using one of the bathrooms inside the terminal to wash — a practice not always welcomed by airport passengers.

So Royal Cab driver Hasan Khan, 52, a Pakistani immigrant, collected some 300 signatures from fellow cabbies, urging the airport to give them their own cleansing station.

Airport brass obliged — and the wash equipment was installed on the ground floor of the main garage, right next to where the drivers congregate for their breaks.

“The way we look at it…this was in the interest of maintaining a good relationship with ground transportation providers,’’ says airport spokesman Doug Yakel.

As for using public resources?

Yes, your taxpayer dollars are being used. But as usual, for Muslims, it’s ok.

Yakel says the costs were nominal, with the work done by in-house plumbers.

As for Khan, he recognizes not everyone might appreciate the religious accommodation. But then he points out that Christians generally pray at church on Sundays — while for him and his fellow working Muslims, the ritual is woven into their daily routine.

And from the looks of things, they’re grateful.

“We are very happy,’’ said Ahmed Algazali, 49, a fellow driver from Yemen as he prepared to join Khan for a late-afternoon garage prayer.

FL: Pinellas County GOP cancels speaker on “Islamic Threat to America”

via Republican Party of Pinellas County stifles free speech – WatchdogWire – Florida.

The Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee (PCREC) due to internal pressure from fellow PCREC board members has dis-invited internationally known terrorism expert Dr. Jonathan Matusitz from speaking on Monday, June 10th about the Islamic threat to America.  (See the original flier below announcing the event.)

Dr. Matusitz is an associate professor in the Nicholson School of Communication at the University of Central Florida (UCF). He studies globalization, culture, terrorism and health communication. On top of having 95 academic publications and over 100 conference presentations, he taught at a NATO-affiliated military base in Belgium in 2010.

It started with board member, Chris Latvala, writing in his Facebook post, “I’m disappointed that the PCREC will be having a speaker Monday night talk about “The Islamic Threat to America.” The quote was later picked up by the Tampa Bay Times, in an article which chastised the Republicans for inviting Matusitz, who “has been making the rounds within Florida’s tea party chapters” as if that disqualifies him as a credible speaker.

The PCREC followed their lead by canceling the speech.

In his follow-up post, Chris Latvala wrote: “I am very pleased that the PCREC Seminar/Educational Forum on “The Islamic Threat to America” that was to take place before this Monday’s meeting has been postponed.”

Postponed, of course, means canceled.

In light of recent Islamic terror attacks, such as the Boston Marathon bombing, the public beheading of Lee Rigby in London by self-described jihadists, as well as over 21,000 Islamic terror attacks worldwide since 9/11, many are asking: What makes the PCREC marginalize professor Jonathan Matusitz and consider his views controversial?

If the goal of the Republican Party of Pinellas County is to win elections, how will suppressing free speech on this very important national security issue help attract more voters? Shouldn’t the Republican party stand up for the freedom of speech?

Republicans supporting free speech are asking members of the Pinellas County Republican club to call the main office to voice their opinion about this decision:  727-539-6009

UPDATE: Dr. Matusitz will still come to Pinellas county and deliver his speech on “The Islamic Threat to America”, but he will do so at the Golden Corral Restaurant, located at 10050 Ulmerton Rd., Largo, FL 33771 on Monday, June 10th, at 6:00 pm.

DHS flags tweets about ‘militia,’ but not ‘jihad’

via Andrea Shea King, DHS flags tweets about ‘militia,’ but not ‘jihad’.

You can thank the Electronic Privacy Information Center for forcing the Department of Homeland Security to release its list of “keywords” that are used to by its agents to monitor you on Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites.

The list, including phrases, reveals which words you probably want to avoid or else risk being flagged and eyeballed as a possible terrorist or someone who is otherwise posing threats to the United States. Words included such innocuous terms as: “Militia,” “exercise,” “cops,” “national security” and “facility.” Interestingly and of note, “jihad” was not included, nor were the words “Middle East,” “Arab,” “Muslim,” “terrorist” or “pressure cooker.” Perhaps those are on a different DHS red flag list?

The Electronic Privacy Information Center sued to obtain the list, but not before it had filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the documents contained within DHS’ 2011 ‘Analyst’s Desktop Binder,’ which, according to a Forbes report, is “used by workers at their National Operations Center, which instructs workers to identify ‘media reports that reflect adversely on DHS and response activities.’”

Dearborn Arab Fest canceled after (jihad) insurance cost skyrockets

First they tried to move it to a new location to keep non-Muslims out. But like the blowback from suing McDonald’s, enforcing sharia in Dearbornistan has consequences. via The Arab American News – After 18 years, what’s next for the Arab International Festival?

Last month, following Dearborn’s $300,000 legal settlement with the Acts 17 Apologetics, the City recommended that the festival be moved from Warren Avenue to Ford Woods Park.

“That recommendation was made in order to have a more controlled environment. The rules are different when a festival has specific entrance points. There is more flexibility for how behavior can be monitored, if there are specific entrances into an event,” Mary Laundroche, Director of Public Information, stated.

Following the City’s “recommendation” to move the festival to Ford Woods, the Chamber announced that it would “postpone” the festival until next year.

Read Dearborn moves Arab fest to keep non-Muslims out.

Fay Beydoun said that the purpose of the festival was to promote economic development in Dearborn and the surrounding areas and share the Arab cultural heritage. It was postponed because these objectives could not be met if the festival was to be held at the park on such short notice.

“Moving the festival to the park within the amount of time we had was just not feasible,” she said. “We needed more time to better plan and provide the quality event that we had been providing in the past.”

While she did not confirm that the City forced the Chamber to move the festival, it was apparent that the City would not grant a permit for the event to be held on Warren Avenue.

Beydoun refused to elaborate on questions relating to the City, saying that such questions should be asked to City officials.

After the controversy and numerous lawsuits that were filed by evangelist groups, insurance on the festival for its three-day span increased by 37 times, rising from $1,500 to $56,000.

Fay Beydoun said that the increase in cost of the insurance was one of the factors that led to the postponement of the festival, but not the deciding factor.

Missouri: Dem governor sides with Hamas-linked CAIR, vetoes bill banning sharia law

Missouri’s sharia supporting governor

via Nixon vetoes Sharia law measure – KansasCity.com.

UPDATE: Nixon has vetoed the bill.

The bill “is misguided, unnecessary and needlessly undermines certainty in important areas of the law,” his veto message says. “Missourians expect and deserve a judicial system that is both fair and predictable.”

Gov. Jay Nixon’s office has announced a news conference in St. Louis to “take action” on SB 267, a bill commonly referred to as the Sharia law bill.

In general, the measure prohibits use of foreign laws in Missouri courts.

And the largest Muslim group in the U.S. that is actively fighting for sharia law in the United States CAIR Applauds Missouri Gov’s Veto of Anti-Islam Bill.

No doubt Nixon and terror-linked CAIR worked closely on this effort and CAIR knew it would be vetoed before the vote or was the first notified.  Hence the tailored and timely press release before any news media including a copy of Nixon’s comments.

In a statement today announcing the veto, Gov. Nixon said:

“This legislation seeks to solve a problem that does not exist, while creating the very real problem of jeopardizing Missouri’s families’ ability to adopt children from foreign countries. Here in Missouri, we believe in strengthening families and encouraging adoption. By placing additional barriers between couples who want to adopt and children who need loving homes, Senate Bill 267 is quite simply out of step with these basic values.”

Florida high school history course equates Islamic terrorism and Christianity

Shades of Common Core and CSCOPE. Who’s behind the lesson plans? via Terrorists driven by low self-esteem, Florida high schoolers told

It’s low self-esteem and the need for a “sense of belonging” that drives terrorists to join groups that kill in the name of religion, according to an online lesson plan for Florida high school students.

The world history course on “Invisible Warfare” — offered by the Florida Virtual School, the nation’s first statewide Internet-based public high school — begins by asking students “what comes to mind” when considering the concept of fundamentalism and then prompts them to think of the term in a religious context. It later defines terrorism as the act of using fear or violence to accomplish certain political or religious goals.

“Common traits that psychologists have found in terrorists are that they are often risk-takers and many suffer from low self-esteem,” according to the lesson plan, which was obtained by FoxNews.com. “Sometimes joining a terrorist group provides these individuals with a sense of belonging.”

Earlier in the lesson plan, students are asked to consider how “this type of fundamentalism” has affected Islam and notes that some Islamic fundamentalist groups have reinterpreted the word jihad, which means “struggle” in Arabic, to mean a “holy war” against non-Muslims. Some critics including the Global Dispatch claimed that the transition from Christianity to Islam within the lesson plan “softly could imply Christianity may be affecting (therefore causing) Muslim extremism.”

“For example, some passages in the Bible could be used to justify the slaughter of men, women and children in ways we have difficulty understanding today,” the plan reads. “Would anyone condone this now? How would you react to someone who insisted that holding these beliefs was fundamental to Christianity?”

Representatives at the Florida Virtual School denied those claims, saying the lesson plan does not suggest a link between fundamentalists within Islam and Christianity. Tania Clow, a spokeswoman for the Florida Virtual School, told FoxNews.com in a statement that the purpose of the lesson was to lay foundational knowledge in order for students to understand the more complex issue of global terrorism and the impact religious fundamentalism is having globally.

“Yes, the Bible is referenced, but only as an example of how some passages may no longer be compatible with the modern world, prompting students to think about whether the ideas would be condoned today,” Clow wrote in an email. “The lesson does not suggest that there is a link between Islam and Christianity as fundamentalist groups.”

Two key issues are specifically addressed in the lesson, Clow said, including the impact of religious fundamentalism in the last half of the 20th century and the impact and global response to international terrorism.

State-certified instructors at the online school are not allowed to change the actual lesson text, but are encouraged to engage students in thoughtful debate, Clow said.

Not everyone, however, agrees that the lesson plan as presented is useful for young minds, including Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, who claimed the lesson plan unfairly compared fundamentalists within Christianity and Islam.

“Fundamentalist Christians pray for people, they pray for their own members who convert to another religion,” Donohue told FoxNews.com. “Fundamentalist Muslims will kill you. So, right off the bat, the equation is pernicious.”

Dr. Keith Ablow, a psychiatrist and Fox News contributor, said it takes more than low self-esteem to prompt someone to don a suicide vest in the name of religion.

“Much more in the way of psychiatric disorder is required to create a terrorist than just low self-esteem,” Ablow said. “The real key is a failure of empathy, and while it might be true that many terrorists have low self-esteem, there are lots of people with low self-esteem that are either depressed, homeless, or are in relationships with people that abuse them – but not terrorists.”

Robert Jones, CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute, cited a 2011 study that found that Americans are more willing — by more than a 3-to-1 margin — to separate the violence of self-professed Christians from Christianity than they are to separate violent behavior of self-professed Muslims from Islam.

The poll, entitled ““Pluralism, Immigration and Civic Integration Survey,” found that 44 percent of all Americans believed self-professed Muslims who committed acts of violence in the name of Islam to truly be Muslims, compared to just 13 percent of those committed acts of violence in the name of Christianity to truly be Christians.

What acts of violence in the name of Christianity? Can they provide recent examples where this occurred and the verses the perpetrators quoted from the Bible that justified it? Were the perpetrators holding a decapitated head and shouting “Thou shall not kill”? 

As a whole, younger Americans and college graduates are overwhelmingly more likely to believe that Islam — as practiced by most Muslims — does not promote violence, Jones said.

A 3-1 margin and percentage points are listed above to present Muslims as victims. But Jones provides no statistics for his statement above suggesting a bias by older, uneducated (presumably white, Christian, gun-owning, Constitution-supporting, tax-paying) Americans.

“If you ask that question, Americans are basically divided,” Jones told FoxNews.com. “But education and age is driving a lot of it.”

One aspect may be true. The older you are, the less you have to rely on false narratives of rewritten history books and the political cowardice of media and can rely on real world examples of Muslims waging a relentless jihad of death and destruction. As dictated in the Koran.

It’s 2013. Do you know what your kids are being taught in public schools?

McCain confident he can vet jihadis in Syria, as he is pictured with jihadis in Syria

via McCain says he’s confident he can identify ‘good guys’ in Syria | THE DAILY STAR.

WASHINGTON: U.S. Senator John McCain said Wednesday, two days after meeting with rebels in Syria, that he was confident the United States could send weapons to fighters in Syria without the risk they would fall into the wrong hands.

“We can identify who these people are. We can help the right people,” McCain said on CNN’s program “Anderson Cooper 360.”

The Daily Star has independently verified that McCain was photographed during his trip to Syria with a known affiliate of the group responsible for the kidnapping of 11 Lebanese Shiite pilgrims a year ago.

According to families of the remaining captives and one of the released men, Anwar Ibrahim, one of the men standing alongside McCain in a photograph released by the senator’s office, is Mohammad Nour, the chief spokesman and photographer for the Northern Storm kidnappers. Nour appears in several other shots released by news agencies where McCain is posing with different officials.

Ibrahim and other members of the kidnapped family said they recognized Nour, and another man affiliated with the group, also identified as “Abu Ibrahim,” immediately after seeing the photos, widely circulated by international media following McCain’s visit.

The image demonstrates the difficulty of identifying who the West might want to deal with if it decides to arm the rebels.

McCain is a fool and Obama has been arming rebel jihadis for a long time as reported in December 2012:

The United States is launching a covert operation to send weapons to Syrian rebels for the first time as it ramps up military efforts to oust President Bashar al-Assad.

Mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank missiles will be sent through friendly Middle Eastern countries already supplying the rebels, according to well-placed diplomatic sources.

The Americans have bought some of the weapons from the stockpiles of Muammar Gadaffi, the Libyan dictator killed last year. They include SA-7 missiles, which can be used to shoot down aircraft.

Muslim groups want FBI out of anti-jihad role, hard-line orthodox imams in

Just how far have Muslims infiltrated the FBI? The posts of the last few days gave you a clue. Now they want the FBI out of the anti-jihad business. via The Daily Caller » Muslim advocates urge reduced FBI anti-jihad role

Politically influential Muslim activists are pushing to reduce the FBI’s role in countering Islamic terrorism and are seeking greater federal reliance on hard-line orthodox Imams.

The White House’s “Countering Violent Extremism” program “did not produce the results a lot of us were hopeful … [and] kind of collapsed towards the end of last year,” complained Mohamed Elibiary, a Texas-based advocate who was appointed to the Homeland Security Advisory Council.

“I don’t know where it is today … [but] it presents us with the opportunity to look at the question of [whether] it is right to house it within the FBI,” he said at an May 28 event in D.C. staged by the Muslim Public Affairs Council.

The controversial CVE program was boosted in 2011, when President Barack Obama directed the FBI to work with Muslim political and community groups to suppress jihadi attacks, which are dubbed as non-Islamic “violent extremism.”

But, said Elibiary, “we spun our wheels for the last two years [and] we never got the national CVE policy across all 56 [FBI field] offices.”

Instead, said panelists, the FBI has continued its traditional policy of investigating jihadis for subsequent trial and convictions.

In contrast, the Department of Homeland Security, Elibiary said, has done much good by trying to work with Islamic groups.

The CVE program has been slammed by critics for giving too large an intermediary role to small Islamic political groups such as MPAC, which portray themselves as representatives of American Muslims. The groups try to foster the growth of distinct Islamic communities.

The CVE training has also been criticized for obscuring the many orthodox Islamic strictures that spur Muslims’ violence against non-Muslims.
