Today, I screened the new Gerontology Jones, er . . . Indiana Jones flick–“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” (along with two horrid movies which were far worse). And I didn’t like it. At all.
I’m prohibited from posting my review until late Wednesday Night or early Thursday Morning (the movie debuts in theaters on Thursday), but with apologies to Roger Ebert, thumbs waaaay down on this. This latest installment isn’t even close to being up to the level of either of the lackluster sequels to the original “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”
If it’s any indication–and it is–I fell asleep like four times . . . and missed nothing. Yaaaaawn. Mixing outer space themes with the Indie Jones thing is a bad idea. In spades.

Stay tuned for my complete review, later this week. And, please, find someone who can do a better Russian accent than Cate Blanchett. Oy.

Tell it to the sisters at the mosque, buddy.

So, you’re a Muslim in America, living in America’s own little satellite of Hezbollah stronghold Bint Jbeil, Lebanon a/k/a Dearbornistan. And while you live here–legally or otherwise–you simply haven’t taken it upon yourself to learn English.
Well, if you’re like the rest of its customers having repeated problems with Comcast cable “service,” you’ll no longer have to worry. You can press ithnan [“two” in Arabic]–or, maybe, wahed [“one”]–for Arabic.

Dearborn Hezbo Call Center:
As-Salaam Aleikum from Comcast
I have some questions about this, such as why these people don’t speak English and how they’re able to stay here if they don’t. You must take the citizenship test in English in order to become a U.S. citizen. The only exception is if you’re mentally incompetent. So, how many of these uni-lingual, Arabic-only people are U.S. citizens, and whom did they pay off to either give them the answers to the citizenship test, let them skip it, and/or declare them “mentally incompetent”?:

In response to a burgeoning demand from the Arab-American community, Comcast is opening its first bilingual service center today to serve its Arabic speaking customers.
At 5070 Schaefer, just north of Michigan Avenue, the 3,360-square-foot office is aimed at serving a population that relies on Internet and digital voice functions to communicate with relatives and conduct business in the Middle East.
The office will provide information on the latest services and technology to Arabic speakers. The American Arab Chamber of Commerce, the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services [DS: Both of which openly support Hezbollah and HAMAS] and local politicians encouraged Comcast to open the center. The chamber conducted a survey to demonstrate the need.

Yup, I’m sure that “survey” was “reliable.” They’d never lie to increase their influence and shakedown a company for jobs and moolah. Nevah evah.

“We always try to make sure companies active in our community are accessible to our members,” said James Allen, chairman of the board of the American Arab Chamber of Commerce.
“This demonstrates the community is coming of age and that we have enough influence to persuade Comcast and other companies to be very interested in and very active in our community.”

Nope. This demonstrates shakedown capacity. ACCESS’ founder and former leader, Ismael Ahmed, idolized Jesse Jackson (and ran his Michigan campaign), so he and his organization learned from the best.

Comcast officials said that in seeking better relations with the many Arabic speakers in recent years, employees participated in training sessions with the chamber and ACCESS. The office will open with eight Arabic-speaking employees and expand to 16 over time.
“One of the key messages of that training was that, if you understand the culture, we realize we were not doing a good job of providing this community a place to do business face-to-face,” said Dave Buhl, senior vice president of Comcast Michigan. “The way we do business, traditionally, is from a call center or door to door, and both of those are not good matches for this culture.”

Al-Pander Bear award winner of the year?

Metro Detroit has about 123,400 people of Arab descent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But Arab leaders say the population may be more than twice that size, and uncounted in part because of language and cultural barriers.

Yes, how many are here illegally, “doubling” the figure?
Computer and cell phone technologies are particularly important to recent immigrants, who rely heavily on Arab-language news reports from the Middle East and use the Internet and digital voice services to communicate with relatives and conduct business overseas.
Yup, coordinating Hezbollah money-laundering ops with the buds in Lebanon and the banks in Kuwait needs a lot of Comcast support. Ditto for enabling access to the jihadist websites. Way to go Comcast.
If only we could keep track of who was calling Comcast’s new Arabic center, we’d learn the identities of a lot of immigration fraud perpetrators and illegal aliens who’ve far overstayed their “welcome”.
But we’ll never do that. It would harm ICE’s Abu Moskowitz’s (Michigan/Ohio ICE Special Agent in Charge Brian Moskowitz) chances for his next belly dance and extra-marital halal “shawarmeh” at Al-Ameer restaurant or the Bint Jbeil club.

So, a U.S. sniper in Iraq used a copy of the Koran for target practice. Not exactly the smartest move while you’re in the midst of the Greater Barbaria U.S. taxpayer money pit. But not exactly uncalled for, given what the Muslim world has done with Bibles, Torahs, live human Christians, and even Korans that they believe aren’t up to snuff.
Somehow, the Muslims throughout Iraq found out about it. How did that happen? Who told CNN about it? Strange that there’s little inquiry into that–into which soldiers are betraying their fellow troops in a likely fatal way.
Instead, there’s a giant sound of American lips smooching Muslim butt; this giant line-up of high-ranking American military men waiting for their chance to get something brown put on the tip of their noses. The groveling is simply sickening.

What is simply an expression of free speech–as much as the “Piss Christ” exhibit or any other “art” by Robert Mapplethorpe or Saudi Arabia making sandals out of the leather binding of Shi’ite Korans–not the “criminal behavior” our military is telling the so-called “New Muslim democrats” that it is:

Members of the local U.S.-allied group said the Quran was found with 14 bullet holes in a field after U.S. troops withdrew from a base in the area.
Sheik Ahmed Khudayer al-Janabi, a local tribal leader, said the group had planned a protest march last Thursday but called it off under pressure from U.S. forces and to prevent any insurgent violence as retaliation.
The incident, which occurred on May 9 and was discovered two days later, was first reported by CNN, which broadcast a ceremony at which the top American commander in Baghdad apologized to tribal leaders Saturday in Radwaniyah. The military confirmed the details Sunday in an e-mailed response to a query.
“I come before you here seeking your forgiveness,” Maj. Gen. Jeffery Hammond was quoted as saying at the ceremony. “In the most humble manner I look in your eyes today and I say please forgive me and my soldiers.”

Girlfriend to boyfriend who beats her: “Please, please, please take me back.” Sigh.

“The actions of one soldier were nothing more than criminal behavior,” he added. “I’ve come to this land to protect you, to support you – not to harm you – and the behavior of this soldier was nothing short of wrong and unacceptable.”
The commander also read a letter of apology by the shooter, who has not been identified, while another military official kissed a Quran and presented it to the tribal leaders, according to CNN.

Excuse me while I vomit.

Tribal leaders, dignitaries and local security officials attended the ceremony, while protesters carried banners and chanted slogans, including “Yes, yes to the Quran” and “America out, out.”

Well, I’m glad that butt-smooching session worked so well.

The military statement called the incident “serious and deeply troubling” but stressed it was the result of one soldier’s actions and “not representative of the professionalism of our soldiers or the respect they have for all faiths.”
The hard-line Association of Muslim Scholars condemned the shooting and what it said was a belated acknowledgment of the incident, calling it “a hideous act against the book of almighty God and the constitution of the nation and the source of its glory and dignity.” . . .
U.S. troops also have struggled to overcome the perception that they are insensitive to Islamic traditions after several missteps in the early stages of the war in Iraq.
Sheik Eid Majid al-Zubaie, the preacher at the Radwaniyah mosque, said local leaders were outraged over the discovery of the Quran, which he said was shot through and had big dark X’s and other graffiti on the pages. But he said they had accepted the military’s apology.
“There is not any difference between this soldier and the figure in Denmark who made the caricature drawings against the Prophet Muhammad,” al-Zubaie said.

Hmmm . . . does this mean we can expect more charming Muslim riots around the world calling for the beheading of all those who insult Islam?
Don’t count it out, military butt-kissing or not.

As I’ve noted previously, in the early 1980s, a number of Muslim-owned gas stations were caught ripping off customers in the Midwest, particularly in Michigan.
They were giving customers far less than a gallon for each gallon of gas they paid for and thought they were getting. Many of them, including members of the Hezbollah Safieddine family, were prosecuted, as were Muslims with ties to the P.L.O. Federal agents and investigators from the Department of Agriculture found that the money from this scam was being funneled to Palestinian terrorists groups and factions of the PLO, and some of it is believed to have gone to Hezbollah.

Are You Getting What You Pay For @ The Pump?
Well, the gas fraud–even in the time of $4 gallons–continues. Michigan Department of Agriculture investigators have been inspecting gas stations and found that many owners are defrauding their customers. If you live or buy gas in Michigan, read this list of gas stations near you whose pumps gave customers less than a gallon of gas for each gallon of gas they purchased. Not all of the gas stations are owned by Muslims, but most of them are. Cheating the Infidel still isn’t wrong and never will be. And–whaddya know?–Hezbollahs Safieddine family is up to its same old tricks and has several gas stations on the list.
These investigations are not the result of spotchecks. Unfortunately, in Michigan, investigations are only complaint-driven. No complaint, no investigation. So there are plenty of others who’ve gotten away with it and continue to cheat unwitting customers.
Check your own state agencies to see who investigates gas stations and which ones you can’t trust to give you the amount of gas for which you paid. You’d be surprised. Sadly, some of the stations on the Michigan list are stations I’ve patronized.
And I’m sure Michigan drivers aren’t the only ones being ripped off.

Barack Obama claims he’s against HAMAS and Hezbollah and is offended by President Bush’s speech in Israel about Obama’s ethos of “appeasement.” So why is he meeting with one of Hezbollah’s most important imams and agents in America, Imam Hassan Qazwini? And why is this open anti-Semite and supporter of Israel’s annihilation getting to discuss “the Arab-Israeli conflict” in a private one-on-one meeting with Obama? What was said? I think we can do the math.
I’ve written about Qazwini and his mosque for almost a decade. He is tight with the Government of Iran, and he is an agent of the Iranian government, spreading its propaganda. He was sent to the U.S. by Iran to help radicalize his mosque, the Islamic Center of America, which–at the time–was becoming moderate with women not covering their hair and mixing with men. All that has changed, under Qazwini.

Extremist Imam Hassan Qazwini w/ Obama
AND w/ Hezbollah Spiritual Leader Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah
Qazwini is very open about his support for Palestinian homicide bombings, HAMAS, and Hezbollah. And he’s a good friend of Hezbollah spiritual leader, Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah–the man who issued the fatwa to Hezbollah terrorists to murder over 300 U.S. Marines and U.S. Embassy civilians in cold blood. Qazwini’s mosque has held rallies and celebrations in support of Hezbollah, and many of Hezbollah’s biggest money-launderers and agents in America are his congregants.
When I went undercover to his mosque in 1998, he and others welcomed Nation of Islam chief racist Louis Farrakhan as “our dear brother” and “a freedom fighter.” Qazwini applauded Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic statements saying that Jews were the “forces of Satan” and that there needed to be a “jihad” on the American people.
Above is a photo of Qazwini hanging out with Hezbollah’s Fadlallah–who is on the State Department Terrorist List–in South Lebanon, where he went to visit him and pay tribute. Juxtapose that with the photo of Qazwini and Barack Obama. It says a lot about the company Obama keeps . . . and why he shouldn’t be President:

A Muslim leader from Dearborn met privately with Sen. Barack Obama during his Wednesday visit to Michigan.
Imam Hassan Qazwini, head of the Islamic Center of America, said in an email that he met with Obama at Macomb Community College. A mosque spokesman, Eide Alawan, confirmed that the meeting took place. During the meeting, the two discussed the Presidential election, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the Iraq war, according to Qazwini.
At the end of the meeting, Qazwini said he gave Obama a copy of new book, “American Crescent,” and invited Obama to visit his center.
The meeting with Obama came about after Qazwini had asked David Bonior, the former U.S. Rep. from Michigan, if he could meet with Obama during his visit. Qazwini was not selected to be part of a group of 20 people who met with Obama, but Qazwini later got a private meeting with Obama, Alawan said.
“They gave him an opportunity for a one-on-one,” Alawan said. . . .
Born in Iraq into a long line of Shi’ite clerics, Qazwini and his family left for Iran to escape persecution under the regime of Saddam Hussein. He later moved to the U.S. and become head of the Dearborn mosque, one of the largest Shi’ite Muslim centers in the U.S.

Um, Saddam wasn’t off the mark regarding Qazwini and his family. They were agents of Iran who were trying to overthrow him on behalf of the Khomeini’ists. And the fundamentalist Islamic form of government Qazwini espouses is far worse Saddam Hussein’s killing fields (though it’s far less secular than Saddam was). The only other difference is that in his view those bloody fields should be dominated by victorious Shi’ites, not Saddam’s Sunnis.
Well, Obama has the support of HAMAS . . . and now, Hezbollah. And we should send him to the White House because . . .?

The only new release this weekend is the sequel to the original “Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.” And it far surpasses the charming original. You needn’t have seen the first film to understand and enjoy this second one. The messages–paramount among them the righteous fight of good versus evil (and yes, it’s via the sword)–are good ones.
“The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian“: I really liked this second installment based on “The Chronicles of Narnia” series of children’s novels by C. S. Lewis. It’s much better than the first, which I liked. This one is faster-paced, has more action–with lots of jousting and fighting sequences, and has a better story. And like the first movie and the books, religious analogies abound (including one that resembles the Jews fleeing the Egyptians in the sea and the Egyptians being swallowed up by the water).

The story of this great adventure: The four sibling children–who are also coronated kings and queens in Narnia–are back to their humdrum lives in WWII London, wondering when the wizard will summon them back to their other-world kingdom. Soon the call comes. They are returned to Narnia, centuries into the future from their last visit.
Now, Narnia is in bad shape. The trees no longer come alive and dance, and it’s been conquered by their human, mortal neighbors. In that neighboring human land, the evil uncle of Prince Caspian, Miraz, has just borne a male heir, and is out to assassinate his nephew, heir to the throne. The Prince flees to Narnia, where he seeks the help of his Narnian enemies. The four Narnian king and queen brothers are enlisted to help the Prince retake his kingdom.
The medieval fighting scenes are great and fast-paced. And the gryphons and centaurs and other mythological characters of Narnia are back to take part in fighting on behalf of good–Narnia and Prince Caspian–versus evil–his diabolical uncle, who wants to wipe out Narnia forever.
Great for your kids and your whole family.

In 2006, I wrote about Fordson High School a/k/a “Hezbollah High.” The Dearborn high school is the first majority Muslim public high school in America.
And it foreshadows what’s to come in America’s future as we allow more and more Muslims to immigrate here and refuse to absorb into America and mainstream American culture.
As I noted then, the principal of Fordson Hezbollah High, Imad Fadlallah, is a cousin of Hezbollah spiritual leader, Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah–who is on the State Department Terrorist List and who issued the fatwa to Hezbollah terrorists to murder over 300 U.S. Marines and U.S. Embassy officials (among countless other terrorist acts he’s okayed).

Hezbollah High: Violent, Bigoted Fordson Principal Imad Fadlallah is Hezbollah Spiritual Leader/Terrorist Mohammed Fadlallah’s Cousin
Imad Fadlallah’s wife, Susan, is the daughter of Hezbollah-backed Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, who was Hezbollah’s negotiator during the 1985 TWA flight 847 hijacking during which Hezbollah tortured to death Navy Diver Robert Dean Stethem. Before that, he was the head of the Shi’ite Amal Militia, which has been absorbed into Hezbollah.
As I also noted, Fadlallah–a supporter of Hezbollah, like many in his student body–gave students the day off in 2005 and “extra credit” if they campaigned at the polls on election day for candidates endorsed by the extremist Muslim group, Arab American Political Action Committee (AAPAC). AAPAC is headed by Hezbollah agent Osama Siblani, whose brother works for Al-Manara (Hezbollah TV) in Lebanon. Students from Fordson who took the deal were seen campaigning against Christian candidates at the polls, including Christian Arabs.
And then, there’s Fadlallah’s many extended trips to Lebanon on school time, with the Dearborn school district’s full knowledge and approval–including the one close to the time of the Hezbollah-Israel War. Just who was he visiting and what was he doing there?
Well, the Imad Fadlallah saga continues. And it gets worse.
A few weeks ago, I attended a Dearborn School Board meeting. Not much happened, but at the beginning of the meeting, board members were given what was described as “a confidential investigation of a complaint by a Fordson student.”
I knew what the complaint was about. It was the reason I was at the meeting. But the complaint wasn’t discussed. That might have something to do with the fact that the man who handed out confidential copies of the complaint is John Artis, the man who is retiring as Dearborn Schools Superintendent and who has made a career out of being beholden to extremist Muslims.
The complaint is that Fordson Principal Fadlallah hit one of his students. And it’s reportedly not the first time. Apparently, corporal punishment at Hezbollah High is a common behavior. Like the last time he allegedly hit a student, Fadlallah might have gotten away with it. But there was a witness in the room–reportedly another student–and a teacher walking buy his office heard the smack of his hand at the point of contact with the student body. The teacher is not backing down, despite pressure from the Dearborn Schools administration.
And Fadlallah and members of the Islamic community are pressuring the student who was hit and his family. Sources say Fadlallah sent four employees, including allegedly an Arabic translator, to tell the parents to keep quiet or bad things would happen to them and it “wouldn’t be good for the (Arab Muslim) Community.”
Despite repeated behavior like this and an alleged grade-altering scam, which Fadlallah reportedly oversaw in order to inflate his school’s performance), Fadlallah was allowed to keep his job. Dearborn is little Bint Jbeil (the Hezbollah stronghold in South Lebanon), after all.
But that’s not the whole story. Fadlallah has replaced a number of employees at Hezbollah High with his hand-picked cronies. His cousin, Majed Fadlallah, is a Vice Principal. A number of Christians have been fired and replaced by Muslims. And it’s not a coincidence. He’s a religious bigot.
Trey Hancock was an assistant wrestling coach at Fordson for five years. It was a volunteer position, and he enjoyed it as his son–a Fordson junior–is a successful wrestler on the Fordson Wrestling Team. But in his spare time, Hancock–a descendant of great American John Hancock–is a Christian minister. And principal Imad Fadlallah didn’t like that, so he fired Hancock in violation of civil rights laws barring discrimination based on religion.
Moreover, Fadlallah made the unconstitutional, illegal fiat that neither Hancock nor his wife were allowed to take part in or assist the team in any way except watching wrestling matches in which their son participated. And they were harassed over that, too.
Hancock has never mixed religion with his wrestling coach position, and there is no evidence to the contrary. But what makes Fadlallah mad is that at least one Muslim wrestler–who was friend’s with Hancock’s son–on the Fordson team converted to Christianity before he even reached high school. The church, at which the Hancocks minister, helps abused Muslim women who are trying to escape violent husbands and seeking divorces. In short, what he does in his private life–and because what he does involves Christianity–Hancock’s civil rights are non-existent at the tax-funded, public school run by relatives of Hezbollah’s spiritual leader.
At a recent Dearborn School Board meeting, PTA member and Fordson parent Hussein Berry–also a relative of the Hezbollah-backed Shi’ite Amal Lebanese Parliament speaker Nabbih Berri–objected to Hancock’s private website, saying that because he has pictures of himself with the Fordson wrestlers he used to coach, that this is an improper mix of church and state. That’s absolute bunk.

ACLU Hassle Free @ Hezbollah High (Fordson High School):
Football Players Say Islamic Prayers @ Tax-Funded Public High School
But it goes on in Dearborn because people do nothing. And because people do nothing, it is spreading to your neck of the woods.
Because Trey Hancock and his wife continued–as is their right–to attend their son’s wrestling matches, Fadlallah summarily fired the wrestling coach who was set to retire in another year after 36 years of coaching. We can’t have openly Christian parents attending their kids wrestling matches at tax-funded, public venues. Can we? Not at Hezbollah High, apparently.
But, without ACLU lawsuits or interference, we can have illegal, organized Muslim prayer by the Hezbollah High football team. Don’t you know?–Under principal Fadlallah, the Constitutional separation is only between church and state, NOT mosque and state.
Next week, Hancock and others from Dearborn will be in Lansing at a meeting with State Representative Fulton Sheen (who represents a distant part of Michigan nowhere close to Dearborn–they have to go outside to get help) and a representative from the Michigan Attorney General’s Office. But don’t expect the pan-Islamist Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox to do a thing about it. As I’ve repeatedly detailed, he’s in bed with the Imad Fadlallah crowd in Dearborn and helped them cover up and get away with Medicaid fraud for pregnant Muslim illegal aliens.
Fordson High School a/k/a Hezbollah High . . . just a hint of what’s to come in America. Imad Fadlallah is the principal of the future because nobody in America is doing anything to stop him.
Remember, in America, violence and religious discrimination cannot and will not be tolerated . . . unless the perpetrators are Muslim.
In that case, anything goes. Sadly, the only thing not going is Hezbollah High principal Imad Fadlallah, who is sitting pretty.
To date, no charges have been filed against him. Predictably, no ACLU lawsuits, either.

Remember when I told you about Dearbornistan’s new Islamo-Pandering Wal-mart? I call it Al-Halal-Mart.
But check this out–there is already an Islamic Wal-Mart elsewhere . . . Wal-Mosque. “Se Habla Hezbollah.”
