On Tuesday, the Barack Hussein Obama campaign held a pander-fest for Detroit area extremist Muslims. Or, perhaps, it would be better called what it was, a bitch-fest.
Muslims whined and moaned that Obama is not pro-Muslim enough, including, whining about his AIPAC speech about an undivided Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Hmmm . . . I guess they just haven’t been paying attention, since Obama famously backtracked from that speech in a New York minute after he uttered it. And I guess they just haven’t noticed that he bends over backward in his books and his statements about “profiling” and “backlash” and everything else.
Still, I had fun reading the hilarious kvetching by the Michigan chieftain of HAMAS-front group CAIR, Dawud Walid, whose real name is Willis Delano Anthony, Jr.:

CAIR Chief Dawud Walid a/k/a Willis
Says Hussein Obama Not Pro-Muslim Enough

We are waiting for him to decry this Islamophobia as anti-American, just as anti-Semitism is anti-American.

Really? Um, quick question: How many Jews hijacked the planes on 9/11? How many have said they want America to be a Jewish country with the Torah as our Constitution? How many blew up the two U.S. embassies in 1998? How many blew up the Khobar Towers? How many Jews executed Nick Berg like a slaughtered chicken? Oh wait, he was Jewish.

To simply say that he is a Christian and not to criticize Islamophobia is akin to passively supporting Islamophobia. He has to address publicly the roots of these concerns.

Huh? Wha’Choo Talkin’ Bout, Willis?
Another whiner, Ron Amen, a Shi’ite Muslim who belongs to a pro-Hezbollah mosque and won’t denounce the group:

It is hurting me . . . the senator distancing himself from Islam. Obviously, I hate that.

But no worries. The Hussein Obama campaign is reaching out to these extremists, both of whom openly support Hezbollah and HAMAS and won’t denounce them, despite the fact that both groups murdered innocentAmericans in cold blood.

“It’s a cornerstone of our campaign to reach out to people of all walks of life and people of different faiths,” said Amy Brundage, a spokeswoman for Obama. “It is important for us to have a dialogue . . . and we will continue to have these discussions throughout this campaign.”

It’s official: The Obama campaign reaches out to all walks of life, including the HAMAS and Hezbollah “walks of life.”
More like, walks of death.
The thing is–aside from the fact that Obama could not be more pro-Muslim–the Muslims have nowhere to go, other than Obama. They’re not going to vote for McCain. (And if Obama were smart, he’d ignore them. But he isn’t smart.)
But, hey, if they want to stay home in November since he’s not pro-Muslim enough for them, I’m all for it. The fact is the Muslim vote is far smaller than Muslims want people to believe. They won’t decide the election, especially here in Michigan (where they have the largest numbers), which will likely go heavily for Obama, anyway.

Some of my fondest memories as a kid, hanging out with my Dad, are when we’d meet up with the neighborhood ice cream truck, during the hot summer, and he’d buy me one of my favorites: The Bomb Pop–red, white, and blue, it was patriotic, yummy, and cool on a hot day. And as you know, the only way to know the truck is coming is to hear its music.
But not in Dearbornistan Heights. The city, which is rapidly being taken over by extremist Shi’ite Muslims–I’ve noted the election of Hezbollah Judge David Turfe to the Dearborn Heights District Court and the presence of Ayatollah Khomeini agent and accolyte Mohammed Ali Elahi‘s mosque within the city limits.
And these Muslims–who don’t like American culture and want to shut it, and all American-style fun, down–have now succeeded in getting Dearborn Heights police to enforce old, never enforced noise rules to keep ice cream trucks out.
Thanks to Islamo-Fascists . . .

Say Good-Bye to Ice Cream Trucks and Bomb Pops
In a dying Michigan economy, this behavior is an outrage. But, hey, Islam trumps everything in their world, which now solidly includes a growing chunk of the Dearborn/Dearborn Heights/Canton/Detroit area. The PC press-coverage doesn’t note that Muslims are behind it. But they are. Until they took over this city, which neighbors Dearbornistan, ice cream trucks never had a problem.
It’s interesting that the Muslim call to prayer, which blares from five in the morning to ten or eleven at night and preaches the supremacy of Mohammed, does not constitute noise pollution to these people. But ice cream trucks, that’s the problem. Say good-bye, America:

In Dearborn Heights, after complaints from anonymous residents, city leaders are looking to silence the ice cream man, saying the nursery rhymes from trucks are too noisy.
On Tuesday, the City Council is expected to adopt an ordinance that will allow ice cream vendors to ring bells only while they are selling their goods. . . .
Cities want the trucks to lower the volume of the incessant noise, but it is rarely enforced. Meanwhile, ice cream vendors, whose trucks play everything from nursery rhymes to hip-hop to “Hail to the Victors,” said the music is needed to promote sales.
“Everyone knows the ice cream truck plays music,” said Dominic Amato, 19, an ice cream truck vendor who services Dearborn Heights. “I don’t know what to think of it, but it’s going to be hard to sell ice cream. You’re just going to be driving down the streets and the kids won’t hear you coming. I’m going to have to watch what I’m doing. It’s just not worth it.”
In Dearborn Heights, city leaders claim the change in the ordinance is not an attack on vendors because loud music was outlawed anyway. The law, which doesn’t address ice cream trucks, said vendors cannot draw attention “by use of horn, bell, whistle or other apparatus.” . . .
Nick Glennon, 15, can’t help thinking the city is taking away a right of passage for children.
“It’s always kind of funny when all of the little kids are running for the ice cream truck,” Glennon said. “They aren’t going to be able to sell jack if you can hardly hear the truck.”
The ice cream divide has been going on at least a year, said Tina Eismann, owner of All American Super Hero Ice Cream in Romulus. Eismann said her drivers had several run-ins with the Dearborn Heights police, who frequently pulled them over. The drivers beat the tickets in court, but one driver has quit because of the hassle.
“I don’t think it’s fair at all. They would pick and choose who they decided to pull over,” Eismann said. “How can you market your product if you can’t play music? It’s a familiar sound. It’s more frustrating for my drivers. They are good, hardworking people who are trying to make a living.” . . .
Fred Mehrpay, one of the owners of Meadowbrook Ice Cream Co. in Rochester Hills, says Dearborn Heights’ ordinance is nothing new, but said it’s an inconvenience for his drivers. Rochester Hills has had a similar ordinance on the books for years, so his drivers use bells.
“A lot of these (laws) are old and have been around for a while,” Mehrpay said. “(But) they really don’t enforce it because it really doesn’t make sense. How are they going to sell ice cream if people don’t know they are in the area? It would be an inconvenience for a vendor if they aren’t used to using bells.”
Lawrence Klemczak, 67, took it all in stride. “They make a lot of noise, but kids like ice cream,” Klemczak, who lives on Gulley street, which splits Dearborn and Dearborn Heights.

And they call the NFL, the “No Fun League.” Please. There is already a No Fun League. It’s been around for a few centuries. It’s called Islam.

I have special sympathy with the victim of this Muslim hate crime in Chicago because it’s against a fellow “American [Expletive] . . . Blue-Eyed Devil.” And yet again, note the religion that dare not be spoken of:

A Northwest Side man was charged with a hate crime and his three adult sons were charged with felony aggravated battery in an alleged attack on a motorist in which racial epithets were shouted, prosecutors said.
Mahmoud Alkhazaleh, 53, of the 5500 block of North Mango Avenue also was charged with aggravated battery and vehicle invasion in a June 9 attack on a man who allegedly had honked his horn to prod Alkhazaleh to step out of the path of his truck, according to court documents.

Alkhazaleh called the victim a ‘blue-eyed devil’ and an ‘ ‘American [expletive]’ during a physical attack that included throwing rocks and spitting,’ according to court documents. . . .
Alkhazaleh and his three sons, Ahmad, Ala and Ali, appeared in Bond Court Wednesday in the Cook County Criminal Courts Building.
The father was held in lieu of $60,000 bail, while Ala, 27, and Ali, 23, were held in lieu of $40,000 bail and Ahmad, 20, was held in lieu of $35,000 bail. The sons were charged with aggravated battery and vehicle invasion, prosecutors said.
The motorist was driving his truck on Mango Avenue on Monday when the elder Alkhazaleh stood in the street blocking the vehicle’s path, prosecutors said. The driver honked, but Alkhazaleh did not move. The driver then tried to go around Alkhazaleh but could not pass, and Alkhazaleh allegedly started to strike him and pelt him with rocks, prosecutors said.
As the driver tried to call 911 from his cell phone, Alkhazaleh yelled out for three of his sons to join him in the street, prosecutors said. They ran out of the apartment and started to beat the victim, spit on him and throw rocks, prosecutors said. . . .
The father and three sons had returned to their apartment by the time police arrived. Witnesses directed police to the family’s home. When the officers knocked on the apartment door, a woman answered and said the men were not home, but the officers could hear interior doors closing and locking inside the apartment, prosecutors said. They entered and found and arrested the men.

Throwing rocks at innocent civilians. Brings back fond memories of the “Religion of Peace” in Gaza and the so-called West Bank.
Exit Question: Why isn’t this Muslim woman being charged for lying to police and obstructing justice?

At least five of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices announced to the global Islamic terrorist community that open season on America has officially begun.
It unofficially began a few decades ago, when our planes were hijacked by the PFLP and in later attacks by Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda.
But now, the Supreme Court has announced to world that every terrorist, no matter how bent on destroying America–and regardless of whether or not the terrorist had any contact with American soil–now has a right to their own three ring court circus, MC’d by some ringmaster clone of Judge Ito and attended by his/her posse of O.J. jury replications.
They . . .

HEART Them . . .

In a five-to-four decision, Justices Anthony Kennedy, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, David Souter, and John Paul Stevens, gave all Guantanamo detainees–hardened Islamic terrorists all–access to U.S. courts. They were given the right to file habeas corpus petitions challenging their detentions in America’s federal court system.
They essentially said to our enemies:
“Come on Down. You’re the next contestant on the Price is Lite.” Yup, the price for committing terrorism against Americans overseas is very lite. A free trip to America, getting to stay on our soil, and maybe even filing a petition for asylum and citizenship.
All of that can and will happen with this absurd decision.
Kudos for the smart, but minority, position on the court–the dissent of Chief Justice John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito:

In dissent, Chief Justice John Roberts criticized his colleagues for striking down what he called “the most generous set of procedural protections ever afforded aliens detained by this country as enemy combatants.” . . .
Scalia said the nation is “at war with radical Islamists” and that the court’s decision “will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed.”

Yes, it will. But, hey, what’s a little more spilt American blood, when we can show how much more we’re willing to bend over–backward and forward–to appease those who’d destroy us.
Oh, and by the way, the Kennedy decision was 70 pages. If you have to write seventy pages to justify a simple, absurd decision, you know you’re wrong. You’re just fertilizing.
Sadly, the only thing that grows there is America’s quicker demise. We’re going to be hearing a lot of, “If [The Glove] Does Not Fit, You Must Acquit,” in our future.
Muslims Thank America’s Supreme Court . . .

For Their Promising Future . . .

One of Al-Qaeda’s top terrorists still in America was recently on trial for deportation. And almost no-one noticed.
I was the only journalist to cover the April/May trial of Mohammed Al-Churbaji a/k/a “Abu Salim,” a/k/a “Abu Mohammed Salim,” at Immigration Court in Detroit.
And the Al-Churbaji trial was illustrative of the multiple Achilles heels of American counterterrorism and immigration policies:

Mohammed Al-Churbaji, Dad of Obama Fundraiser
Worked for Azzam, Bin Laden
* How hard it is to get rid of known terrorists in our midst and how easy it is for a deported Al-Qaeda terrorist to return to America;
* How corrupt U.S. embassy officials get away with re-admitting terrorists into the U.S.;
* How easily terrorists and their families gain acceptance by our society, including the Barack Obama Presidential campaign;
* How America’s universities are not tools of moderation for Muslim foreigners, but breeding grounds for terrorist fraternization and conception for international terrorist plots; and
* How terrorist anchor babies take root, even if we succeed in deporting their parents.
Mohammed Imad Al-Churbaji is one of Al-Qaeda’s top terrorists in America. His connections at the top of Al-Qaeda are tight and span the global Al-Qaeda network, from Syria to Hamburg to Spain to Afghanistan to Peshawar to Ein El-Hilweh and Dunniyeh, Lebanon, to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to HAMAS operations in Richardson, Texas.
In between a sham marriage to an American and stints in the U.S., Al-Churbaji lived with top Al-Qaeda martyrs and figures and worked for the co-founder of Al-Qaeda and its spiritual leader. And he helped organize, fundraise for, and transport arms (claiming it’s “humanitarian aid”) to Al-Qaeda jihadists around the Muslim world. Al-Churbaji made a career of working for organizations known as Al-Qaeda fronts.
Al Churbaji is a Syrian national currently living in Ann Arbor, Michigan, from where he is fighting the Department of Homeland Security’s endeavors to deport him. If successful, this will be the second deportation for Al-Churbaji, after a return to the U.S. that violated federal immigration and deportation policies. More on that later.
But even if Al-Churbaji is deported, at least two of his six children, a son and a daughter, were both born here and are by law U.S. citizens. These terrorist anchor babies can carry on what he started.
One of them is his son, Mohamed Salim Al-Churbaji a/k/a Salim Alchurbaji (heretofore referred to as, “Salim”). He is a student at the University of Michigan and serves as a Barack Obama fundraiser and organizer, according to Salim’s own testimony. He testified that he, Salim, has made at least one recent trip to terrorist host state Syria, their father’s native country, but his brother testified that it was actually at least two trips, including one in the last year-and-a-half.
What were they doing in Syria–a country where they could be tortured due to their father’s memberships in the Muslim Brotherhood? We may never find out. A College Democrats activist and political chairman of the U-M Muslim Students Association, Salim also done some modeling and fancies himself as something of a male supermodel. But you can bet, he wasn’t posing or exploring fashion in Syria.

Mohammed Salim Al-Churbaji:
Top Al-Qaeda Terrorist’s Son is Obama Fundraiser
Mohamed Imad Al-Churbaji, also known as “Abu Salim” [Father of Salim], rose from “grocery store clerk” to Regional Director and, later global spokesman for the Global Relief Foundation (GRF), shut down by the U.S. government for being a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Entity and funding Al-Qaeda. That is, if you can believe Al-Churbaji was ever a grocery store clerk. At the time he and his current wife claim he was Mr. Bagger Boy, he was actually an organizer for Al-Qaeda.
Al-Churbaji first came to the United States in the mid-1980s from Damascus. He married a woman named Pamela Shepherd in what was a sham marriage. Then, when he was in the process of being deported, he married an American convert to Islam, Denise. It is unclear whether Al-Churbaji was legally divorced from his first “wife” when he married Denise. From the stand, Denise Al-Churbaji a/k/a “Um Salim,” an employee of the University of Michigan–who wears a hijab and a long thobe–made a statement about not realizing at the time that “2nd” wives had no legal rights. Actually a current wife has plenty of legal rights, if her husband is legally divorced from his first wife and legally married to her.
Al-Churbaji’s second marriage didn’t succeed in stopping the then-INS from deporting him, but the Al-Churbajis managed to squeeze out an American born son, Salim, just before they fled to Pakistan in January of 1988.
In Pakistan, Al-Churbaji, claims he was an employee of Muslim Aid and then the Saudi Red Crescent, then Regional Director for Global Relief Foundation for Pakistan. But he was actually working for the “Godfather of Jihad,” the late Sheikh Abdullah Azzam, who co-founded Al-Qaeda with Osama Bin Laden and was Bin Laden’s spiritual guru, and for Bin Laden himself, in Maktab Al-Khidamat (MAK), the forerunner to Al-Qaeda.
In Pakistan, the Al-Churbajis had four more kids, while they lived at a house in Peshawar, Pakistan, where their roommates are a “Who’s Who” of international Sunni jihad. FBI agent Rob Miranda–the case agent in the government’s case against the HAMAS front-group, Holy Land Foundation–testified that while in Pakistan, Al-Churbaji and his wife shared a Peshawar house with:
* Abu Rawdha, a leading mujahideen fighter killed fighting in Afghanistan in 1991 or ’92;
* Bassam Ahmad Kanj a/k/a “Abu A’isha,” a mujahideen fighter who fought for Bin Laden and his mentor, Sheikh Azzam, in Afghanistan, and later, became a leading member of Lebanese Al-Qaeda terrorist group, “Usbat Al-Ansar” [The League of Supporters/Helpers]. With financing from Bin Laden, Kanj, founded Takfir wa al-Hijra, a splinter group of Usbat Al-Ansar, and he was killed in Lebanon in January 2000, in a terrorist attack on the Lebanese government.
Kanj was an important figure because, at the time, he was one of the few Lebanese mujahideen who’d also fought in Afghanistan and was an important figure in linking Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan to Al-Qaeda in Lebanon.

Mohammed Al-Churbaji’s Terrorist Martyr Roommate
(Photos From Martyr Websites)
Kanj’s wife, Marlene Earl Kanj Al-Mirabi, an American convert to Islam, told the FBI she met and married him when they were students at Boston University. She also said he met and consorted with another Boston University Muslim, Mohammed Chehade, who also worked for the terrorist entity for which Al-Churbaji worked, Global Relief Foundation.
* Rabih Haddad a/k/a “Abu Abdullah,” who was deported from the U.S. in 2003. Haddad, who also lived in Ann Arbor with his wife and family, was the founder and chief of Global Relief Foundation (and was also a fundraiser for HAMAS-front group, CAIR–the Council on American-Islamic Relations). The government also said he is an Al-Qaeda terrorist.

Rabih Haddad: Another Terrorist Roomie of Mohammed Al-Churbaji
* “Abu Amatallah,” another terrorist.
Special Agent Miranda testified that at the time, all of these roomies, including Al-Churbaji, worked for Bin Laden mentor, Sheikh Abdullah Azzam, at his Makhtab Al-Khidamat (MAK), Azzam’s and Bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda forerunner. Marlene Kanj, wife of the late Al-Qaeda terrorist Bassam Kanj, gave this information in an FBI interview. Her latest husband, Anwar Al-Mirabi, a Saudi Al-Qaeda terror suspect arrested here after 9/11, was reportedly deported and left with his wife and family.
All of these terrorist roommates–top operatives in the original Al-Qaeda–attended the same mosque in Peshawar. Even Al-Churbaji admitted on the stand that both Sheikh Azzam and Bin Laden attended the mosque and that he saw them there. All of these terrorist roommates also attended the Center Street Mosque in Arlington, Texas. Coincidence? Nope. It’s an Al-Qaeda “family” reunion. They don’t call it Al-Ikhwan–“The Brotherhood”–for nothin’.
Al-Churbaji’s wife claimed that he worked for Muslim Aid and then Saudi Red Crescent. But this line of “employment” was the exact one claimed by Rabih Haddad, his future boss in America. Again, in actuality, they were both working for MAK, Bin Laden’s and Azzam’s precursor to Al-Qaeda.
Ultimately, Al-Churbaji held the position of “Regional Director” for Global Relief Foundation in Pakistan , though he didn’t really cover any region. But other “Regional Directors” were in fact terrorist leaders and coordinated GRF’s terrorist weapons and money-laundering operations. And evidence and documents provided by the government show that Al-Churbaji did the same.
Al Churbaji repeatedly lied on the stand, claiming that he didn’t know his roommate, terrorist martyr Abu Rawdha, and that Faisalabad–to where he claimed he went to distribute “food to refugees”–was right next to Islamabad. In fact, Faisalabad is nowhere near Islamabad and is far northeast of it. But it is near the border of Kashmir, where he and his roommates–at the direction of Bin Laden and Azzam–were supplying weapons and other support to jihadists. (Not only was GRF fomenting jihad against the Indian government in Kashmir, but its newsletters quoted Azzam and called for a Taliban against Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan.)
So, how did the Al-Churbaji family make it back into the U.S.? Well, that’s interesting. Since Al-Churbaji was already deported once and engaged in a sham marriage, he was not eligible to come back at the time. But his wife, Denise, claims that she was directed to contact a U.S. Embassy employee, Sam Libby, to get her and her husband visas. Magically, Sam Libby, broke the rules and–voila!–the visas, golden tickets into America, were issued.
Just how much money did Sam Libby get from Al-Qaeda for issuing visas to operatives, like Mohammed Al-Churbaji, prohibited from entry into the U.S.? And is the U.S. government looking into all of the visas issued by or connected to him? While such an investigation should be a no-brainer, don’t bet on it. There is no evidence that Libby was ever investigated or disciplined. We’re from the government, and we’re here to help you, er . . . the terrorists.
And once the previously deported Al-Churbaji got his illegal re-entry back into America, did he take advantage of this fresh opportunity and go legit? Well, yes and no. Yes, he took advantage of this fresh opportunity . . . engaging in new terrorist financing, money-laundering, and weapons supply.
Al-Churbaji testified that he served in America as a fundraising aid and publicist to GRF founder and chief (and his former Pakistan roommate) Rabih Haddad, accompanying him to speaking events and passing out fliers about GRF. But, in fact, Al-Churbaji’s position was listed as “Regional Director” a/k/a terrorist helper, until after 9/11, when his wife filled out yet another application for citizenship for her husband. Then, she changed his position to “PR,” trying to place him in a lower rank and not in a position of policy-making for this terrorist front group.
Of note is the fact that Hazem Raghab, the man Al-Churbaji replaced as U.S. Regional Director for GRF, was an associate of Wadih El-Hage, Osama Bin Laden’s secretary, now in prison for the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa. At the time, El-Hage made frequent contact with GRF. Al-Churbaji, himself, had contacts with El-Hage.
But Agent Miranda testified that, while Al-Churbaji was the number two man in GRF, pictures found at Illinois headquarters showed twelve boxes of hand-held digital radios, base stations, sandbagged bunker tents, long range aerials/antennae, hand-held power packs, and other similar sophisticated equipment.
He testified that the 200 radios GRF had was a larger stock of equipment than many police departments have. GRF materials and newsletters showed pictures of dead, mutilated mujahideen with radios from the Kashmir press. Other pictures showed dead men with the caption “Hizbul Mujahideen,” a Kashmiri terrorist group. The picture bore Arabic handwriting with the notation, “two martyrs killed by the Indian government.”
Page 91 of the 9/11 Commission staff report cites Chicago FBI counterterrorism investigations and notes that GRF sent a significant amount of money to extremist causes and freelances to support jihadists around the world. That’s in addition to Agent Miranda’s testimony that GRF and the HAMAS-front group, Holy Land Foundation, co-mingled and gave each other funds. (GRF also transferred funds to Al-Qaeda financier Mohammed Zouaydi.) Again, Miranda is the FBI case agent in the HLF matter.
Now that Al-Churbaji is unemployed, his wife, Denise, testified that she is the breadwinner, as a pharmacy technician at the tax-funded University of Michigan, where she earns about $36,000 annually on your dime. After all, it’s imperative that American taxpayers finance Al-Qaeda operatives’ families while they fight deportation.
But not to worry. Mrs. Al-Churbaji told the courtroom that she is emotionally and physically unable to care for her 5 or 6 children. And Mr. Al-Churbaji does it for her, while she goes into her room and sleeps after work every day. The First Islamic Terrorist “Mr. Mom.” Yes, there is “diversity” in every realm in America.
While attempting to stay here and get U.S. citizenship, Al-Churbaji has had a steady supply of liberal democrat helpers who’ve written the government on this Al-Qaeda terrorist’s behalf, including the late Senator Paul Simon, former Senator Carol Moseley Braun, and Congressman-For-Life from Dearbornistan, John Dingell. What’s disturbing is that–even though Al-Churbaji was already deported and should never have been given a second visa and readmitted–America must go through the long deportation process to get rid of him. And the U.S. government and FBI–unwilling to produce important classified evidence against Al-Churbaji to public scrutiny–won’t prosecute him in the criminal courts. It must rely on the less stringent Immigration Court to get rid of him.
If it’s this difficult to get rid of a key Al-Qaeda terrorist on our soil–and it is–we will never beat them.

HAMAS’ Mohammed Abu Tir, Qaeda’s Ahmed Rafiki
Sport Jihadist Red Henna
A few things were notable about Mr. Al-Churbaji’s performance on the witness stand in Immigration Court in Detroit. He sports tacky bright red henna dye on his hair and beard–the “Jeri Curl” of jihadists, similar to that sported by Moroccan Al-Qaeda leader Ahmed Rafiki and HAMAS terrorist leader Mohammed Abu Tir. And he pretended to speak broken English with a heavy accent. This act was in stark contrast to the far-less-pronounced accent and well-spoken English we heard him speak in the Immigration Court waiting room. His repeated denials of knowing the top Al-Qaeda figures with whom he shared a home were so phony, I thought I was listening to Sgt. Schultz of “Hogan’s Heroes.”
Also notable is Al-Churbaji’s lawyer, Noel Saleh, about whom I’ve written a great deal over the last decade. The thrice-disciplined Palestinian attorney who was President of ACCESS, the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, a tax funded organization that helps Muslim illegal aliens and openly supports HAMAS and Hezbollah. Saleh is still the attorney for this Islamist agency that continues to defraud Medicaid by helping pregnant Muslim aliens come here to give birth, get citizenship, and have your tax dollars pay for it.
Saleh announced at a public forum that he gave money to Hezbollah. And he was also the lawyer for Al-Churbaji’s co-conspirator, Global Relief Foundation founder and chief, Rabih Haddad. Saleh proudly sported an ACCESS lapel pin at trial.
Saleh was no match for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Deputy Chief Counsel Mark Jebson. That was despite the illegal coaching from the courtroom that Al-Churbaji’s wife, Denise, gave Mr. Al-Churbaji while he was under oath (despite the fact that she was supposed to be sequestered and out of the courtroom at the time).
A ruling by Immigration Judge Elizabeth Hacker–whom this site has praised in the past for her insightful decisions deporting Islamic terrorists–is expected to issue a decision on Al-Churbaji, late this summer. Hopefully, she will make a similarly wise decision here. But even if she rules he must be deported (for the second time), he can still appeal the decision all the way up to the Supreme Court, which could take years, while he remains on our soil and fathers more American citizen terrorist anchor babies.
In the meantime, this hardened Al-Qaeda terrorist–Mohammed Al-Churbaji–is free as a bird on American soil. And his son continues to be a fixture of the Barack Obama campaign . . . when he’s not making mysterious trips to Syria.

I’m sorry that my promised piece on a Al-Qaeda terrorist on our shores–whose son fundraises for Barack Obama–is not yet up. But I just returned from my grandmother’s funeral (and to make a bad day worse, I returned to find my tire flat as a pancake). That piece will wait for tonight or tomorrow.
For security reasons, I will not note my grandmother’s name here, especially since she is now, escorted by relatives, on her way to burial in Israel, next to my grandfather in Jerusalem. If–and probably, when–the spineless Israeli government, along with pressure from the equally spineless U.S.–the Muslims are bequeathed Jerusalem, I do not want some of the many Muslim haters who read this site, to find my grandparents’ graves and do what they did to other Jewish graves under their control (they drilled holes and urinated in them and used their tombstones to make a Nazi-esque sidewalk).

My Grandmother (2nd Row, Third From Left)
& Her Fellow Yellow Star Wearing Seamstresses
And now more about my grandmother, whom I briefly mentioned, last night:
Although my grandmother had been ill for some time, stricken with Alzheimer’s-esque dementia, I remember her fondly as a dedicated wife, homemaker, and mother. In listening to my mother’s eulogy, I learned things about my grandmother I never knew before. Here is some of what I remember and know, and some of what I learned:
From the time I was little and too young to understand the Holocaust, I knew that both of my grandparents had no teeth, a result of extreme malnutrition and no dental care in the Nazi concentration camps. Both wore a full set of dentures. But it, like losing most of her family to the Nazi ovens and bullets, did not stop her from making it.
She was a survivor.
My grandmother was born the sixth child of seven children, five boys, two girls in Olkusz, a small Polish town near the border of Germany. At a young age, she showed strong sewing skills, which saved her life. Because she was a talented seamstress, she was sent to work and learn from her uncle–my great-great-uncle–a well-known tailor in the Champs-Elysees in Paris. I still have relatives, the descendants of the tailor, who live in France. She was also sent to a special school for seamstresses.
When the Nazis invaded, my grandmother was allowed to live because she sewed. While most of her family was sent to their deaths in Auschwitz, my grandmother worked in Sosnowicz, Poland in a workshop, where she was ordered to make Nazi Wehrmacht uniforms. Yes, my grandmother helped make brown shirts for the brown shirts. And that’s how she survived.
Later, she was sent to a camp, where every day the Nazis marched her into a workshop where she mended uniforms and sewed, sort of like the sewing workshop in the movie, “Escape From Sobibor.” There were Czechoslavakians in and around the camp, and many of them were good to the Jews. They gave them bits of their stale food and old cake and helped them. That’s why my grandmother always saved a picture of a Czech woman and her son, who helped her survive.
Compared to my grandfather–who survived hard labor and near death in many camps–my grandmother had it easier. Maybe that’s why, when most Jewish Sabbaths–after we walked to my grandparents to visit, my grandmother would leave the room, when my grandfather talked about the experiences in the concentration camps. She didn’t want to hear about it. She wanted to forget and move on.
When the Holocaust was over, my grandmother learned that her sister, my late Aunt Esther, and two brothers survived. Her brother was in Bergen Belsen camp. And when my grandmother reunited with him, she met his friend, my grandfather, and they got married. They lived in Bergen Belsen, which became a displaced persons camp, for 3 years. That’s where my mother was born. My grandfather planned to leave it all behind and move to Israel, but at the last minute, he chose America instead. He heard that so many survivors were flooding Israel that people lived in tents on the streets of Jerusalem.
When my grandparents moved to America, they had nothing–no bilingual education, no government aid and welfare. They had the shirts on their backs. They and my mother lived in a single room in a house of a Jewish woman in Detroit. My grandfather found it hard to find a job because he refused to work on the Jewish Sabbath.
(Incidentally, my grandfather was descended from the Amshinover Chassidic Rebbe, the Peshischa Chassidic Rebbe, and the Afstrafser Chassidic rabbi–a heritage of which he was always very proud.)
Finally, he learned that Detroit needed a “shoichet”–a kosher slaughterer. He trained himself and ultimately opened his own kosher slaughterhouse. He and my grandmother got up at 3:00 a.m and took three buses from 12th Street in Detroit (where they lived) to Morris Kosher poultry, my grandfather’s business, in Hazel Park–a Detroit suburb. My grandfather would do the slaughtering, and my grandmother would pluck the feathers and put together the orders for meat and poultry. It was the last kosher slaughterhouse in Detroit (and it was never raided by ICE on a $10 million boondoggle).
When my grandfather finally closed up his slaughterhouse–because of government over-regulation and racist state inspectors harassing his Black employees–he turned the business into a giant kosher poultry, meat, and food distributorship, which my uncle now owns and runs. My grandmother helped him–not only in the business as his first employee/partner–but also at home as a homemaker–cooking, cleaning, sewing with pride.
Because sewing saved my grandmother’s life, I remember her constantly urging my mother to take me and my sisters to sewing lessons, thinking maybe it would someday save our lives, too. I took the lessons, and although I can’t make anything or make major alterations the way my grandmother–the skilled seamstress could–I can sew some pretty cool things. And I do sew some cool embellishments and designs on clothes as a hobby. In the future, I’ll put up pics of some of the things I’ve created. It’s really more art than anything else.
My grandmother made the greatest costumes. I could show her a picture of anything, and she could make it from scratch, without a pattern or anything. When I was a kid, my favorite thing was “Little Orphan Annie,” the musical. I showed my grandmother a picture, and she made me a satin red dress with the white collar, just like Annie. With my red, curly wig, I looked just like her for a costume party. So many people complimented her skilled craftsmanship and offered my grandmother money to make them things for them. But she wouldn’t do it. She made stuff for us out of love.
I won’t forget my grandmother’s “Bubbelehs”–giant matzoh-meal and egg pancakes, with tons of sugar on top. Those were good. And even though I’m not a fan of the dish, no matter who makes it, my grandmother’s gefilte fish was very popular in the Detroit Jewish community.
As I noted last night, because of the Holocaust and poor record availability, we don’t know exactly how old my grandmother was. But we know she was into her 90s and probably 94.
She lived a long life and after a lot of sorrow, lived the American dream, building a family, home, and a business with my grandfather in the only country on earth where they were free to do it.
My Grandma, Zichronah LiVrachah–Blessed Be Her Memory. May she rest in peace in her final resting place of Jerusalem, the eternal Jewish Capital.

In this case, the arrests are over speech, but not over content. In any event, it’s yet another absurd infringement on what you can and can’t say and express in America:

Seven people were arrested for cheering at high school graduations over the weekend, according to police reports.
One man was arrested at the York Comprehensive High School commencement ceremony Friday morning at the Winthrop Coliseum, and six more arrests were made Saturday during Fort Mill High’s graduation, also at the Coliseum, according to Rock Hill Police reports.
School district officials in both cases asked Rock Hill Police to monitor the graduation ceremonies and arrest anyone disrupting the ceremonies, according to reports. Attendees were warned verbally and in writing that loud celebrations were strictly prohibited, the reports state.

In each instance, the suspects cheered for a specific graduate when his or her names was called. After their outburst, the suspects were taken into police custody and charged with public disorderly conduct. One man pulled away from an officer during the arrest and also was charged with resisting police.
“I just thought they were going to escort me out,” said Jonathan Orr, 21, who cheered for his cousin Montel Orr at York’s ceremony. “I had no idea they were going to put handcuffs on me and take me to jail.”
Orr said he sat in a jail cell for almost two hours until his sister could come pay $255 to bail him out. Orr said he disagrees with the no cheering policy.
“For some people, it might be the only member of their family to graduate high school,” he said, “and it was like a funeral in there.”

Mohammed did it, so I guess they figure it’s okay, right?
Hey, Wall Street Journal (always pimping for more alien work visas), what say you about Bassam Houssein and another Muslim man from Pakistan? The two Muslim aliens, both here on a work visas, were charged in an online internet sex sting for trying to, um, “date” a girl they thought was 14.

Muslim Child-Predator Work Visa Holder, Bassam Houssein
Houssein, a 23-year-old Shi’ite Muslim here from Lebanon. I don’t exactly wonder what kind of “work” he got a visa for. We know the likely answers: Hezbollah organizing and Muta’a (Shi’ite practice of brief, temporary marriage for sex) with fourteen year old girls. He sent his cousin to double team, er . . . “meet” the non-existent prospective future Muslim baby machine:

Two men who are in the United States on work visas face possible deportation after they arranged to have sex with a Wayne County sheriff’s deputy posing online as a 14-year-old girl, the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office said.
One of the men, Bassam Houssein, 23, a native of Lebanon living in Dearborn, got cold feet and his 18-year-old cousin, also of Dearborn, showed up in his place, the Sheriff’s Office said.
The cousin was not identified because he has yet to be arraigned on a charge of using the Internet to commit a felony.
Houssein was charged with attempting to disseminate sexually explicit material to a minor, soliciting a minor for immoral purposes and disseminating sexually explicit material to a minor, authorities said. He was held in the Wayne County Jail in lieu of $3,000 bail.
During three days of online conversations, Houssein, who was arrested Thursday, e-mailed a sexually graphic image of himself to the undercover officer and suggested they meet for sex, the Sheriff’s Office said. However, Houssein did not show up for the meeting or one scheduled the following day. Instead, the cousin came to the meeting.
“This is the first time we’ve had someone other than the person actually doing the chatting show up at the meet location,” Sheriff Warren Evans said in a news release. “While neither will admit they would have followed through on the plans … we do know that the young cousin did show expecting to meet a 14-year-old girl and the elder cousin sent graphical images of himself to our undercover officer. We’ll leave it to a judge to decide.”
In the other case, [a man] drove from East Lansing to an unidentified location in western Wayne County to have sex with the phantom 14-year-old, the Sheriff’s Office said. . . .
[A] Pakistan native who used the screen name, “honeyguy_jp,” was arrested Friday and charged with child sexually abusive activity and illegal use of the Internet.
He was held in the Wayne County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
[He] did research at Michigan State University, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The MSU Web site lists [the man] in the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center. [DS: Not anymore. They removed his name, pic, and bio.]
The nature of Houssein’s work visa was unclear.

These are the two they caught, among many others like them–also Muslims here on questionable “work visas”–whom did not catch.
Note the two words nowhere in this Detroit Free Press story: “Islam” and “Muslim.” Shocker. Guess what? These guys weren’t Samoan or Norwegian. And they weren’t Christian, Jewish, or Hindu.
Exit question: Will these guys get deported, or will they enjoy a long life in America, while filing appeal after appeal in our immigration and regular courts?
I bet on the latter.

To paraphrase the joke I’ve repeatedly told on this site, when G-d tells world leaders he’s going to end the world in a day, The New York Times headline reads: “World to End Today, Women & Children Hardest Hit”; and The Washington Post headline reads, “Minorities Hardest Hit.”
Now, that old joke from the ’80s needs to be updated with the real-life Associated Press story criticizing the $10 million Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid a few weeks ago on Agriprocessors, the largest kosher meat processing plant in the world.
Apparently, it’s now “Muslims Hardest Hit.” As in, “Kosher Meat Plant Raided, Muslims Hardest Hit.”

Attention, AP: Our Problem (Kosher Symbols on Left) Is Not Theirs
You see, AP is upset that the ICE raid will allegedly send up the price of kosher meat, not because of how it will affect Jewish kashrut (the noun form of kosher) observers.
AP is concerned about how it will affect Muslims who observe Halal dietary laws. Incredible:

Any price increases would affect observant Jews and Muslims, who often buy kosher meat because it meets halal guidelines.

Yes, no problem of any people, any ethnic or religious group in America, is important, unless it is the problem of Muslims. Then, it demands attention. But if it’s only about Christians or Jews, who gives a damn?
Even more incredible is the utter ignorance and lack of reporting skills in AP reporter Ellen Simon, very much exposed as she tripped all over herself to turn a story having nothing to do with Muslims or Islam into tears and sympathy for them.
That’s duly interesting because ICE agents told me they’d never in a million years be allowed to raid a Muslim Halal meat plant–too politically incorrect.
Yes, kosher meat is also compliant with halal slaughter (but not the other way around–halal meat is less stringent), because after all, Islam is a cheap rip-off of mostly Judaism and some Christianity. But the fact is that while many Muslims might have purchased certified kosher meat and poultry a decade or two ago, they no longer do so. In their vile anti-Semitism, they neither wanted to purchase from the Jews nor eat stuff meant for the Jews.
Plus, they wanted their cut and another way to fund Islamic terrorism. So, they long ago, set up their own Halal slaughtering plants, at least one of which, Mar-Jac Poultry, was also used as a convenient Al-Qaeda multi-million dollar money-laundering operation. No-one’s keeping track of how many chickens died or were discarded, so it’s a great vehicle to sneak money away and out of the country. And now that ICE has abandoned such formerly U.S. Customs Service investigations into terrorism money-laundering, it’s even more handy. (The FBI, which “took over,” turns a blind eye.)
Go to Al-Halal-Mart a/k/a Dearbornistan’s Islamo-pandering new Wal-Mart, and ask for the kosher meat (as a friend of mine recently did). There isn’t any because the Islamofascists that dominate Dearborn would never touch it. But there’s a whole freezer section of Halal meat.
Yet another AP story, in which the reporter doesn’t report. She inserts her own liberal, pan-Islamist political opinion.
It’s a good thing Ms. Simon wasn’t around during the Holocaust. Then, the story would read:
Nazis Open Camps, Turn on Ovens. Muslims Hardest Hit.
Oh, and one other thing. Memo to Al-AP and “reporter” Ellen Simon:
When the price of IEDs and disposable cell phones goes up, that will be a serious problem for Muslims. Looking forward to your report when it happens.

Sorry that none of my work was posted here today, but I was out for the Jewish holiday. While I had planned to have a piece on a key Al-Qaeda terrorist, whose son is a Barack Obama fundraiser (I was the only journalist to cover his trial), I did not get the piece done in time before the Jewish holiday. I hope to have it posted early Wednesday morning.
In the meantime, I just learned that my only remaining grandparent, my grandmother–a Holocaust survivor from Poland–passed away over the Jewish holiday. * Zichronah LiVrachah–Blessed Be Her Memory. She was a talented seamstress, who designed and made for me my satin “Little Orphan Annie” costume from scratch (along with all my other costumes). The Nazis allowed her to live because of her sewing skills. She was also a loving mother and grandmother. Almost her entire family was wiped out in the Holocaust.

Above is a photo of my grandmother and her friends, before they were either sent to their deaths, to Bergen Belsen concentration camp, or to some other horrible fate. As you can see, they were forced to wear the yellow stars and, expectedly, none of them are smiling. They were slave labor seamstresses, forced to sew and repair Nazi uniforms and clothes. Then, they were sent to the camps. (My grandmother is third from the left, middle row.)
My grandmother, the oldest living member of my family, lived well into her 90s–we believe, 94. But we do not know exactly how old she was, as the records were lost with the Nazis.
