US Muslims bristle at Bush term “Islamic fascists”
WASHINGTON (Reuters) –
U.S. Muslim groups criticized President George W. Bush on Thursday for calling a foiled plot to blow up airplanes part of a “war with Islamic fascists,” saying the term could inflame anti-Muslim tensions.
U.S. officials have said the plot, thwarted by Britain, to blow up several aircraft over the Atlantic bore many of the hallmarks of al Qaeda.
“We believe this is an ill-advised term and we believe that it is counter-productive to associate Islam or Muslims with fascism,” said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations advocacy group.
“We ought to take advantage of these incidents to make sure that we do not start a religious war against Islam and Muslims,” he told a news conference in Washington.
“We urge him (Bush) and we urge other public officials to restrain themselves.”
Awad said U.S. officials should take the lead from their British counterparts who had steered clear of using what he considered inflammatory terms when they announced the arrest of more than 20 suspects in the reported plot.
Hours after the news broke, Bush said it was “a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation.”

Here they had a chance ONCE AGAIN to be speak out against terrorism and they failed. I am sick of it, totally!
The terrorists, homicide bombers, Hezbollah, etc all have one thing in common…they’re all Muslims!
Well as your sicko the prophet once said, “If the shoe fits, you probably don’t have enough explosives in it”.

Over at Blogs Against Hillary there is a great find, telling about a web site created by a liberal to stop Hillary from running in 2008. It is called No Hillary No. How sweet is this, to have one of her own, a liberal doing this.

“If you think Hillary Clinton is going to win the 2008 election you are either seriously deluded or just plain stupid. I realize that the last few years have been difficult and that many of you have retreated into a fantasy land where a Hillary run makes sense, but here in reality, we know better. Hillary Clinton, regardless of her many qualifications, will never win the presidential election in ’08. It simply will not happen and deep down–you know it. The Republicans could run a cross-dressing lipstick smeared Pat Robertson against her and probably win. Little Kenny Mehlman and the crooks who pay his salary and control the RNC are going to, once again, play on the mouth breathing majorities fears and ram another nitwit down our throats. He will appear to be a “moderate” but as soon as he is done taking his oath we will once again get screwed. Think McCain. He has been auditioning for over 6 years now.
I really do not care to repeat the last 6 years. Something has to change.
I am asking Hillary Clinton to forget about Democratic nomination for President in ’08 and to remove herself from consideration. She needs to put an end to the rumors now. She has a job to do as Senator and she needs to focus on doing that job. The Democrats need to field a candidate who can defeat whatever sock puppet the RNC picks. Hillary Clinton is not that candidate. I have nothing against her. She would be a major improvement over the clown currently occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue but facts are facts, she will not receive the votes to become our President. It really is that simple.”

WASHINGTON (AFP) –

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the United States of harboring imperial ambitions and demanded the administration change its behavior, in an interview with a US television network.
The Americans “want to build an empire,” said Ahmadinejad, according to excerpts of the interview published by the CBS network on its website Wednesday.
“And they don’t want to live side-by-side in peace with other nations. The American government, sir, it is very clear to me they have to change their behavior and everything will be resolved,” said Ahmadinejad.
The interview, which was to be broadcast in full on Sunday on the “60 minutes” program, coincides with rising tensions between Washington and Tehran over Iran’s disputed nuclear program and Israel’s offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The hardline Iranian president said the administration of President George W. Bush had adopted a condescending attitude towards Iran over its nuclear program and criticized a UN Security Council resolution requiring Tehran suspend uranium enrichment activities or face the prospect of sanctions.
“Well, please look at the makeup of the American administration, the behavior of the American administration. See how they talk down to my nation. And this recent resolution passed about the nuclear issue, look at the wording.”
The July 31 resolution was pushed through after Iran ignored a previous non-binding deadline and failed to respond to an international offer of a package of incentives in exchange for a moratorium on nuclear fuel work.
Ahmadinejad said Iran was still reviewing the package of incentives.
Western powers had “presented us with a package which we are studying right now,” the president said. “We even gave them a date for our response. Ignoring that, they passed a resolution.”
Ahmadinejad also expressed disappointment that the US administration had not responded to a letter he sent to Bush in May, which Tehran had presented as an important diplomatic initiative.
“Well, (with the letter) I wanted to open a window towards the light for the president so that he can see that one can look on the world through a different perspective,” he said.
The Bush administration, however, dismissed the 18-page letter as little more than a rambling philosophical treatise that offered nothing new on the nuclear crisis.
Ahmadinejad scoffed at Bush for refusing his “invitation” in the form of his letter.
“We are all free to choose. But please give him this message, sir: Those who refuse to accept an invitation will not have a good ending or fate,” he said.
“You see that his approval rating is dropping every day. Hatred vis-a-vis the president is increasing every day around the world.”

Wild Thing’s comment….
“Those who refuse to accept an invitation will not have a good ending or fate,” he said.
OK here is the word Daw’ah – Inviting people to convert to Islam, if they refuse, one is then justified in waging a jihad of extermination. In jiahdi speak, he just made a direct and overt threat on our President.
Hey stinky Ahmadinejad here ya go……….this is the American way tou pissant moon god ( allah) worshiper!

“If you open the can on these worms you must be prepared to go all the way
because they’re not gonna give up the fight until one of you is dead…
Do you want to know how to get Capone?
You’ve got to do it the Chicago Way.
He pulls a knife, you pull a gun.
He sends one o’ yours to the hospital, you send one o’ his to the morgue.
That’s the Chicago way. And that’s how you get Capone.”

Thanks Linda…….Something…..and Half of Something Hahaha I love it!

McCain-Feingold reminder:
For two months up until the ‘06 election, political ads and agitation will be off-limits.
Amendment I.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

That is why I don’t need any “interim final rule” to say what I want to say: I already have a permanent, non-negotiable rule—and that rule applies to Congress, not to me. Note that the First Amendment doesn’t have an asterisk which says *unless there’s an election looming.
So McCain/Feingold can shove it where the sun does not shine. We at Theodore’s World aka PC Free Zone blog will not be falling for your BS. I have NO intention of NOT speaking out and they can kiss my ass! I stand on the First Amendment!

HEY McCain and Feingold!

US raises security threat level to “severe”
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is taking immediate steps to increase security measures in the aviation sector in coordination with heightened security precautions in the United Kingdom, the department said in a statement on Thursday.
“For that reason, the United States Government has raised the nation’s threat level to Severe, or Red, for commercial flights originating in the United Kingdom bound for the United States,” the statement said.

Statement from Department of Homeland Security
The Department of Homeland Security is taking immediate steps to increase security measures in the aviation sector in coordination with heightened security precautions in the United Kingdom. Over the last few hours, British authorities have arrested a significant number of extremists engaged in a substantial plot to destroy multiple passenger aircraft flying from the United Kingdom to the United States. Currently, there is no indication, however, of plotting within the United States. We believe that these arrests have significantly disrupted the threat, but we cannot be sure that the threat has been entirely eliminated or the plot completely thwarted.
For that reason, the United States Government has raised the nation’s threat level to Severe, or Red, for commercial flights originating in the United Kingdom bound for the United States. This adjustment reflects the Critical, or highest, alert level that has been implemented in the United Kingdom. To defend further against any remaining threat from this plot, we will also raise the threat level to High, or Orange, for all commercial aviation operating in or destined for the United States. Consistent with these higher threat levels, the Transportation Security Administration is coordinating with federal partners, airport authorities and commercial airlines on expanding the intensity of existing security requirements. Due to the nature of the threat revealed by this investigation, we are prohibiting any liquids, including beverages, hair gels, and lotions from being carried on the airplane. This determination will be constantly evaluated and updated when circumstances warrant. These changes will take effect at 4:00 AM local time across the country. Travelers should also anticipate additional security measures within the airport and at screening checkpoints.
These measures will continue to assure that our aviation system remains safe and secure. Travelers should go about their plans confidently, while maintaining vigilance in their surroundings and exercising patience with screening and security officials.
The United States and the United Kingdom are fully united and resolute in this effort and in our ongoing efforts to secure our respective homelands.

A major terrorist plot to blow up planes in mid-flight has been disrupted, Scotland Yard has said. It is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled on aircraft in hand luggage, with flights from the UK to the US being targeted.
As many as 20 planes were targeted! And 18 have been arrested.
UPDATE on amount of planes: AT 4:05 a.m. they are saying it was 6 planes.
“MAJOR TERRORIST OPERATION, SOME ‘PLANNERS’ MIGHT BE IN US”
During the night, police arrested a number of people in London after a counter-terrorist operation they said had lasted several months.
Security at all airports in the UK has been tightened and delays are expected.
Scotland Yard said in a statement:

“We would like to reassure the public that this operation was carried out with public safety uppermost in our minds.”

“This is a major operation which inevitably will be lengthy and complex.”

The Department for Transport set out the details of the security measures at UK airports.
Transparent bags
Passengers will not be allowed to take any hand luggage on to any flights in the UK, the department said.
Only the barest essentials – including passports and wallets – will be allowed to be carried on board in transparent plastic bags.

“We hope that these measures, which are being kept under review by the government, will need to be in place for a limited period only,” the statement said.

BBC journalist Joe Lynam encountered the increased security measures at Gatwick airport.

“I was handed a piece of paper saying that pretty much nothing could be taken on board the plane,” he said.

“Everything had to be checked in and that includes mobile phones, ipods, wallets – even spectacle cases had to be checked in.”

The MI5 and UK Intelligence Community websites are displaying that the UK Terror Threat Level has been raised to ‘Critical’, which indicates an attack is expected imminently.

Wild Thing’s comment……
I am wondering if this has anything to do with what happened at the airport in London.

A man from Scotland’s Lebanese community waves the Scottish and Lebanese flags outside Prestwick Airport in Scotland during a demonstration against the UK government’s decision to allow U.S. military aircraft carrying bombs destined for Israel to re-fuel at airports in the UK July 30, 2006. It has recently emerged that Prestwick Airport had re-fuelled U.S.aircraft carrying weapons without the UK government’s knowledge.

UPDATE:
U.S. raises threat level in response to British threat
The Associated Press, Aug. 10, 2006
WASHINGTON
The U.S. government raised its threat level to the highest level for commercial flights from Britain to the United States early Thursday in response to a reported terror plot in London and also stepped up the general level for all flights within the U.S. or entering the country.
“We believe that these arrests (in London) have significantly disrupted the threat, but we cannot be sure that the threat has been entirely eliminated or the plot completely thwarted,” said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff in announcing that the threat level for flights from Britain to the United States has been raised to the highest “severe or red” level.
“To defend further against any remaining threat from this plot, we will also raise the threat level to High, or Orange, for all commercial aviation operating in or destined for the United States,” Chertoff said.
UPDATE:
10 August 2006; 0200 ET:
Police in the U.K. have reportedly foiled a plot to smuggle explosive devices in airline hand luggage to blow up planes in mid-flight, or take over aircraft and crash them into targets inside the U.S.
Police in the United Kingdom have reportedly arrested 18 suspects, and more being sought in the UK and at least 2 other countries, including the US. According to US intelligence sources close to the Northeast Intelligence Network, the investigation is expected to expand “well beyond the UK,” and described the threat to the US as “just the tip of the iceberg and very significant.”

Fox News

The FBI has issued an urgent nationwide alert for 11 Egyptian students who entered the United States last week but failed to show up for their courses at Montana State University.
An FBI advisory says there are, at present, no known connections to any terrorist group but that the students are to be “approached with caution” and taken into custody. They “are here illegally and wanted for questioning,” the advisory says.
The advisory comes just over a month before the five-year anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks on the United States.
“This is of very serious concern and is being closely tracked,” said Rep. Peter King (R-NY), Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.
The FBI says the Egyptians arrived at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York on July 29 and disappeared. The advisory says the alert is nationwide but that there is specific concern the Egyptians may be on the Eastern Seaboard.

These 11 Egyptian students have been identified as follows:
(UPDATE: 3 have reportedly been captured – one confirmed)
1. IBRAHIM, EL SAYED AHMED ELSAYED; DOB OF 4/29/1986, PASSPORT 954757
2. EL DESSOUKI, ESLAM IBRAHIM MOHAMED; DOB OF 02/21/1985, PASSPORT 1002756 – CAPTURED
3. EL BAHNASAWI, ALAA ABD EL FATTAH ALI; DOB OF 04/02/1986, PASSPORT 934679
4. ABD ALLA, MOHAMED RAGAB MOHAMED; DOB OF 02/15/1984, PASSPORT 860972 – CAPTURED
5. EL LAKET, AHMED REFAAT SAAD EL MOGHAZI; DOB OF 09/01/1986, PASSPORT 943306
6. EL ELA, AHMED MOHAMED MOHAMED ABOU; DOB OF 02/02/1985, PASSPORT 595081
7. EL MOGHAZY, MOHAMED IBRAHIM ELSAYED; DOB OF 08/08/1986, PASSPORT 861073
8. ABDOU, EBRAHIM MABROUK MOUSTAFA; DOB OF 02/25/1984, PASSPORT 828682 – CAPTURED
9. EL GAFARY, MOUSTAFA WAGDY MOUSTAFA; DOB OF 07/01/1988, PASSPORT 861673
10. MARAY, MOHAMED SALEH AHMED; DOB OF 09/12/1985, PASSPORT 862634
11. EL SHENAWY, MOHAMED IBRAHIM FOUAAD; DOB OF 08/12/1988, PASSPORT 862534
This is nation wide, with specific region of interest is the eastern seaboard–from Maine to Florida. The predicate for this action is that these individuals are in the U.S. illegally and are wanted for questioning. Approach with caution.

And this from CounterTerrorism Blog:

Excerpts: “Consequently, I am not reassured when the FBI says that they do not know of any terrorist affiliations that these illegal aliens may have. It is not reassuring that we do not know, as these public relations spokespersons claim. The point is that I find it curious that there are millions of illegal aliens currently present in our country, but these 11 are the subject of a “Be on the lookout” alert. I do not believe that there are many other such illegal aliens who are the subject of a similar alert.”
Excerpt: “MSU alerted federal Homeland Security and Mansoura officials and notified the students via e-mail they had 24 hours to show up in Bozeman. None of them did, Dooley said.”
Excerpt: ” Officials at the Egyptian Consulate in New York and the Egyptian Embassy in Washington, D.C., said they were unfamiliar with the situation. ”
The last two excerpts were on that site and from an article from the NY Post.

Wild Thing’s comment……
The only thing I find odd about this is that this is not posted at the FBI website, nor is ICE saying anything that I know of. At least not as of this writing. Perhaps it is to cover themselves if they are wrong about these individuals, I am not sure. But they certainly notified all the various news media about it as an alert so there is a certain amount of concern for sure.
In order to get their student visas and get admitted to the program, the “students” also had to list a financial sponsor and provide a certification of financial support. Who were their sponsors?
I hope they profile these guys like crazy and any one else like this. Just ONE other thing, STOP allowing anyone into this country of ours from any Muslim country.
