our school children get chapters on islam and "interactive" study another euphemism for making our children recite the quran the pillar of islam and even some teachers who are muslim, put arab terms around the room and children are forced to recite" there is no god but alla". US President wears a ring with that inscription.
Valerie Jarrett chief advisor to the president muslim born iranian. John Brennan, muslim convert and many others it's just too chummy. US citizens should not be allowed to travel to war torn islamic nations period. If you fight with ISIS, revoke the citizenship. Removing restraints on Iran was a mistake as well as on Cuba. These times can get so worse overnight if we do not get ahead of it.
His own chief advisor valerie garrett said in the 1970's we must spread islam across the nation,...let me tell you it is here. Millions all around the US. Think of that as an army. I tend to believe people when they tell me they want me dead. Christians and all should arm ourselves and not allow the government to confiscate our guns. We haven't seen anything year.

12-13-2015, 03:50 AM #44Trump branding removed from Dubai development amid uproar
Gulf Arab states have expressed outrage over Trump’s recent comments about Muslims
The image and name of American presidential hopeful Donald Trump was gone on Friday from much of a Dubai golfing and housing development amid the uproar over his comments about barring Muslims from traveling to the United States.
The disappearance of Trump branding from the multibillion-dollar development in the United Arab Emirates comes amid growing concern over his comments in the Middle East, where he has long sought moneymaking opportunities.
Some of his deals appear to be in jeopardy, with the company behind the Trump Towers in Istanbul now saying it is "assessing" its partnership with him.
Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, had a deal with Damac Properties to license his name and image for the Dubai development — Akoya, a housing project and two golf courses — for an undisclosed sum.
A billboard showing him and his daughter, Ivanka Trump, had been at the development.
On Friday their images had been removed, revealing the sign's brown background, though the other half of the billboard, declaring the development "the Beverly Hills of Dubai," still stood.
Also, pieces of letters that appeared to spell out "Trump" had been pulled down from a stone wall and left lying on the sandy ground. His name was still on at least one other stone wall at the property,
which was being patrolled by private security guards and police.
Damac Properties has declined to comment on the removal of his name and image from the property. It earlier said it "would not comment further on Mr. Trump's personal or political agenda nor comment on the internal American political debate scene."
The company's shares have fallen in the wake of his comments, losing more than 15 percent over the past week in trading on the Dubai Financial Market.
Trump increasingly has used the licensing model in recent years, lending his name to others around the world rather than developing big real estate projects himself. Fellow developers have praised
Trump as a pioneer of what they call a nearly risk-free business.
But some of his rhetoric about Islam on the campaign trail — including his call to monitor mosques and his proposal this week to temporarily bar Muslims from entering the U.S. — has led to increased
wariness in the Arab world. Earlier this week, the Dubai-based Landmark Group pulled all Trump home decor products from its 180 Lifestyle stores over his comments.
The Gulf Cooperation Council on Thursday, after a meeting of its members' leaders, said, "The Supreme Council expressed its deep concern at the increase of hostile, racist and inhumane rhetoric against
refugees in general and Muslims in particular."

12-13-2015, 12:56 PM #46Trump Asks Us to Choose: The Boot or the Feather
Trump's comments on banning all Muslims from the US have highlighted the absurd duality of 'boot or feather' responses to Islamism.
“Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.”
So reads a news release put out by the campaign managing his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump’s campaign manager clarified the ban would include Muslims simply travelling for tourism.
Trump was immediately and vociferously lambasted for his statement, but his response to criticism was a laconic “I don’t care.”
He should.
This plan would not only bar millions of ordinary Muslims from entering the U.S. based on nothing they had done, which the Anti-Defamation League described as “unacceptable and antithetical to American values.”
It would also be a major setback for those struggling against extremism and a major coup for ISIS and related groups who seek to portray their war as one of "Muslims vs the world."
Were the plan implemented, members of Clarion Project’s advisory board, Dr. Elham Manea (interviewed here) and Raheel Raza, who are based in Switzerland and Canada respectively, would be unable to enter the United States.
Both women are tireless campaigners against Islamist extremism having spent years pushing alternative narratives within their communities.
So would figures like Maulana Wahiddudin Khan, the Indian Sufi mystic and religious leader who runs the Center for Peace and Spirituality, an international network that preaches non-violence.
Also to be banned would be the attendees of the Muslim Reform conference, which was held in Washington D.C. on December 4.
That initiative was started by another member of Clarion Project’s advisory board, Dr. Zudhi Jasser, a former U.S. naval officer who brought together Muslim thinkers and activists to sign a joint declaration in favor of “a respectful,
merciful and inclusive interpretation of Islam.”
Among the signatories was the British counter-extremism scholarSheikh Usama Hasan, previously interviewed by Clarion Project.
He is a recognized expert in Islamic theology and texts and staunchly opposes the supremacist political ideology of Islamism from a place of knowledge and understanding and from within the Islamic tradition.
Read the complete Muslim Reform Movement declaration and the list of signatories.
Yet all of these figures, who are foremost in the struggle againstIslamism, the ideology which this measure is aimed to combat, would be denied entry by Trump.
The Islamic State and other Islamists have long told Muslims there is a war against Islam, waged by anti-Muslim bigots who seek to destroy Islam.
Statements like those made by Trump play directly into this narrative and will almost certainly be used as propaganda by recruiters all over the world for "soft" Islamist groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir, Jamaat e-Islami and the
Muslim Brotherhood.
Combating this narrative requires counter-extremists to engage with Muslims and refuse to fall into the trap set by Islamists of treating Islam monolithically.
It is only in the separation of the political ideology of Islamism from the religion of Islam and countering that ideology with universal human rights values that victory over Islamism will be achieved and jihadist terrorism halted.
That process requires the active participation of Muslims, not their alienation.
It is for this reason Clarion conducts interviews and outreach with Muslim (and non-Muslim) human rights activists from a wide range of backgrounds.
Many mainstream politicians and media figures have failed to address issues of Islamist extremism in this way. Their approach can be described as a "feather" - steering away from identifying any Islamic component in the ideology.
By slandering as “Islamophobic” criticism of the ideological roots of jihadist terrorism, they inadvertently push people to view the problem as Islam.
The Democratic Party recently came out with a campaign advert calling on supporters to avoid using the term “radical Islam.” This helped create the space for Trump’s approach - which can be termed "boot."
He told Fox News Obama “won’t even mention the term, the term the name of what’s going on.”British counter-extremism activist and ex-Islamist Maajid Nawazcalls this the #VoldemortEffect after the Harry Potter book series.
“You’re sending out the message to the vast majority of Americans: There’s an ideology you must challenge, but you don’t tell them what it’s called.”
Nawaz queried, “What are they going to assume? The average American is going to think, ‘Yeah, I’ve got to challenge an ideology — it’s called Islam.'”
This is a very dangerous place to be. Given the rising tide of terrorism committed in the name of Islam people stripped of the ability to name and tackle the ideology will simply tell themselves, “I’d rather be a racist than a corpse.”
This can be seen in the reactions of Trump supporters to his comments:
The Front Nationale (FN) just won the regional elections in France, bringing the far-right anti-immigration party into the mainstream for the first time. Fears about terrorism and Islamic integration played a large part in that victory.
“As predicted, liberals' failure to take on Islamism morally & responsibly has left Trump's bigotry & fear-mongering to fill the void.” Ali A. Rizvi, a Pakistani-Canadian activist against Islamist extremism posted on Facebook.
The choice is not between the boot and the feather. There is another way.
