If Christianity is "Hate speech" then Islam is....?

Islam, the religion of peace. I think they mean pieces.

'Had We so willed We could have given guidance to everyone, but now My Words are shown to be true: that I shall fill up Hell entirely with jinn and human beings. (Surat as-Sajda, 13)
In the event the link goes dead, the content it points to says this:

CAIRO – An American-Yemeni cleric whose Internet sermons are believed to have helped inspire attacks on the U.S. has advocated the killing of American civilians in an al-Qaida video released Sunday.
Anwar al-Awlaki has been singled out by U.S. officials as a key terrorist threat and has been added to the CIA's list of targets for assassination despite his American citizenship. He is of particular concern because he is one of the few English-speaking radical clerics able to explain to young Muslims in America and other Western countries the philosophy of violent jihad.
The U.S.-born al-Awlaki moved to Yemen in 2004 and is in hiding there after being linked to the suspects in the November shooting at an Army base in Fort Hood, Texas, and the December attempt to blow up a U.S. jetliner bound for Detroit.
"Those who might be killed in a plane are merely a drop of water in a sea," he said in the video in response to a question about Muslim groups that disapproved of the airliner plot because it targeted civilians.
Al-Awlaki used the 45-minute video to justify civilian deaths — and encourage them — by accusing the United States of intentionally killing a million Muslim civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
American civilians are to blame, he said, because "the American people, in general, are taking part in this and they elected this administration and they are financing the war."
He added that the Prophet Muhammad also sent forces into battles that claimed civilian lives.
The video was produced by the media arm of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, though the exact nature of al-Awlaki's ties with the group and possible direct role in it are unclear. The U.S. says he is an active participant in the group, though members of his tribe have denied that.
For its part, al-Qaida appears to be trying to make use of his recruiting power by putting him in its videos. Its media arm said Sunday's video was its first interview with the cleric.
In the months before the Fort Hood shooting, which killed 13 people, al-Awlaki exchanged e-mails with the alleged attacker, U.S. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. Hasan initiated the contacts, drawn by al-Awlaki's Internet sermons, and approached him for religious advice.
Yemen's government says al-Awlaki is also suspected of contacts with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian accused in the failed attempt to blow up the Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day. Abdulmutallab traveled to Yemen late last year, and U.S. investigators say he told them that he received training and his bomb from Yemen's al-Qaida offshoot.
In Sunday's video, al-Awlaki praised both men and referred to them as his "students."
Speaking of Hasan, the cleric said, "What he did was heroic and great. ... I ask every Muslim serving in the U.S. Army to follow suit."
Al-Awlaki appears in the video wearing a white Yemeni robe, turban and with a traditional jambiyah dagger tucked into his waistband.
Al-Awlaki was born in 1971 in New Mexico. His father, Nasser al-Awlaki, was in the United States studying agriculture at the time and later returned with his family to Yemen to serve as agriculture minister. The father remains a prominent figure in Yemen, teaching at San'a University in the capital.
The younger al-Awlaki returned to the United States in 1991 to study civil engineering at Colorado State University, then education at San Diego State University, followed by doctoral work at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
He was also a preacher at mosques in California and Virginia before returning to Yemen in 2004.
"We have had more freedom in America than in any Muslim country," he said in Sunday's video. "But when America started to feel the danger of Islam's message, it tightened limits on freedom, and after 9/11 it was impossible to live in America as a Muslim."
Al-Awlaki is believed to be hiding in Yemen's Shabwa province, the rugged region of towering mountains that is home to his large tribe.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Sunday on CBS television that the U.S. is "actively trying to find" al-Awlaki. He added that the Obama administration will continue to take action directly against terrorists like al-Awlaki, and keep the U.S. safe from what Gibbs calls "murderous thugs."
Yemen, which has cooperated with the United States in battling al-Qaida, says it is searching for the cleric.
Al-Awlaki said he was moving from place to place under the protection of his tribe.
Accusing al-Awlaki of involvement in planning and operations by al-Qaida, the Obama administration placed him on a target list of terrorists to be killed or captured, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official said last week. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss intelligence matters.
"As for the Americans, I will never surrender to them," he said. "If they want me, they have to search for me and God is the one who decides my fate."

More Peace from Islam

The peace that is found in the pages of the Quran is reassuring that one day we will all be at peace, like so many dead people.

Should the links go dead, the article which it references says the following:

(CBS) By CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian.




CBS News has learned the State Department system designed to keep track of active U.S. visas twice failed to reveal Nigerian terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had been issued an active visa allowing him multiple entries into the United States.



According to a law enforcement source, the first failure came on Nov. 19, 2009, the very same day Abdulmutallab father’s, Dr. Umaru Mutallab, a prominent banking official in Nigeria, expressed deep concern to officials at the U.S. Embassy in Abjua, Nigeria, that his 23-year-old son had fallen under the influence of "religious extremists" in Yemen.



The second failure to flag an active visa belonging to Abdulmuttalab occurred the very next day in Washington, after Mutallab's concerns were forwarded to officials there. It was only after the Christmas Day terror attack in Detroit that U.S. officials learned that Abdulmuttalab had been issued a visa by the U.S. Embassy in London valid from June 16, 2008, through June 12, 2010.

Diversity Without Discretion

"Too Westernized" Girl Dies after Father Runs Her Over in Honor Killing, Say Police - Crimesider - CBS News

Diversity, as an enhancement to anything, on its own merits, is poppycock.
Imagine that you went to Greek restaurant, but in the interest of diversity, served Italian, Jewish and Middle Eastern fare along with the ubiquitous hamburger and hot dog. Personally, I would not have the greatest expectations from the chef; And the food critics would likely downplay the establishment as anything worth checking out.

• If the Girl Scouts had boys with them on their camping trips
• If the Boy Scouts had girls with them at their Jamboree
• If the Men's Room had women
• and Vice Versa
• If the Cadillac Showroom sported Yugos in the mix
• If the Kentucky Derby posted An Old Gray Mare
• If your English language newspaper had the same article alongside -18 times- in 18 different languages
• If your Fat Free Milk had Whole Milk added
• If your All Natural Organic Ice Cream had artificial ingredients.

All in the name of diversity for the sake of diversity. Ludicrous. I know.

When diversity works as a social enhancement is when the diverse assortment of individuals in a group bring Enhancement for the Common Good to the table. ~Separate But Equal Cultures~ do not enhance anything intrinsically but a school tour of the UN. Or the zoo. (Is there really a difference?) Think: Bar scene from Star Wars. But I digress.

Any corporation that tries to conduct a board meeting while allowing multiple languages to be spoken and used in their written materials is a company that will be well behind the curve and likely, soon to be dissolute.

If we continue to honor aspects while ignoring the whole, then, even as the fabled Tower Of Babel was abandoned, so shall our nation follow if we allow for the disarray of diversity to be hailed, merely for its own sake. If you think about it, chaos is a form of diversity, too. So is schizophrenia.

Diversity is good when you want a diverse array of ideas and input. In some circumstances, this is an enhancement. as we discussed, in other situations, not so much.

So when we champion certain social considerations, "Diverse" is best used as an adjective, not a noun. When the quality of something replace that which it qualifies, then it's all about the packaging and nothing about the contents.

Open Letter To The US President Found on The Internet

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core..

You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.
