Right Truth

Pelosi on criminal invaders

Jim Gilchrist asked, “Do we really need a House Speaker whose every action is calculated to enhance her own financial interests, instead of focusing on how porous borders will affect the security of everyday American citizens?” and demanded 'an investigation into Pelosi’s “economic stake in just the kind of illegal alien exploitation that we deplore in Minutemen.”' (source)

Gilchrist was reacting to my report several weeks ago in FrontPage Magazine that Pelosi – who owns non-union vineyards in Napa Valley where grape-picking depends chiefly on the availability of cheap foreign labor – is doing everything she can to help open the floodgates to more illegal immigration. And she wants the American taxpayers to pay their way. As even more proof of this than I previously reported, Pelosi does not want employers like her to be required to pay the cost of illegal aliens’ hospital care. She voted against a bill that would make employers liable for the reimbursements if an undocumented employee seeks medical attention. And she voted in favor of rewarding illegal aliens from Mexico with Social Security benefits. source

Minuteman Civil Defense Corps President Chris Simcox calls what Congress is planning for the border "‘Virtual’ Smoke and Mirrors on the Border".

The fact remains that the United States borders are anything but secure. We will remain at our posts until American national security is as much in deed the priority for our federal government as it has finally become in speech—and that will be when our borders are actually, not “virtually,” secured.

People are frustrated with Congress, with politics; with the criminal invaders in this contry; with terrorists; with crazy leaders of countries like North Korea, Iran; frustrated with lots of things. I'm frustrated. I'm tired of beating a dead horse day after day, pounding the computer keyboard and not seeing progress. I know I'm not alone. I know other bloggers must feel the same way. We all get weary and feel like 'what's the use'?

My advice for all of us is take a step back. Take a day or at least a few hours off. Do something fun, spend time with family, watch a good movie, read a good book, take a bubble bath, eat some chocolate, but do something other than dwelling in the muck and mire of the evil in the world. Read the good news out of Iraq; read Central Command's daily updates on the progress they are making; look forward to the elections because I'm hoping for good results when the votes are counted.

I'm taking the evening off and spending time with hubby. I'm praying the people of the United States of America will have the good sense to make sure people like Nancye Peolsi never have a chance to lead this country.

The Regular Guys Show: I HAVE A STATEMENT TO MAKE

The following cross posted from My Country - My View

I am Cross Posting this from The Regular Guys Show along with my own feelings.
It's a dam shame when you have to go to such low standards out of sheer jealousy!!!

The Regular Guys Show: I HAVE A STATEMENT TO MAKE

I HAVE A STATEMENT TO MAKE

Bloggers, journalists, broadcasters, listeners, and friends—

As you may have heard, The Regular Guys Show has been terminated once again by Clear Channel Radio. In the past week, my partner, Eric Von Haessler, and I have been silent during a paid suspension while we awaited the results of a company investigation into a minor incident that has since snowballed into something that now demands a public response due to the fact that the principals on the other side are attempting to distort the facts and smear my reputation as a citizen and broadcaster and, in the short term, withhold my income without review or discussion with us.

All of this current mess took root, to my knowledge, in March, when the first national Hispanic illegal alien protests were taking place. We were doing our show in Orlando, from Braves spring training. Listeners started calling us on the air to get our opinion of the boycotts that were going on throughout the metro area and in other major cities across America. As the calls increased in volume, it became the only topic that day as it was on many talk shows across the country.

At one point in the show, we asked a producer to go down the hall and invite Yogi and Panda from Viva 105.7, also owned by Clear Channel, on the air to discuss the issue since some listeners had told us that they were exhorting their audience to boycott and take the day off. They agreed to come on and were ushered into our studio with our board operator, and we had a spirited discussion on the air.

In subsequent days, they complained to local Clear Channel management that they had been "disrespected" and that we should be lectured and punished for being in disagreement and making humorous comments about their point of view, all of which occurred exclusively on the air. Clear Channel management told them on more than one occasion that the opinions we express on the air are fair game, as are theirs, and protected not only by CC company policy, but also the 1st Amendment, and that if they didn't want to look bad on the air, perhaps they shouldn't agree to come on our show in the future. Nonetheless, the complaints continued unbeknownst to me through the year.

Fast forward to two weeks ago.

I was in the restroom down the hall from our studios after our broadcast was over on October 9, 2006. I carry a voice recorder on me and had it out to make some notes for a show meeting five minutes hence. Into the restroom walked Mr. Tapia and Mr. Carias who passed me at the urinal and headed for the two stalls in the corner. It’s a small restroom and there is no way they could not have seen me, further evidenced by the recording of them yelling insults at me from behind the stall doors which proves they knew I was there, knew I was recording, blowing up their claims of expectation of privacy, and that they still had an axe to grind about my on air opinions going back 7 months. They refused to talk to me like men.

Because they aren't MEN!

If they were they would, only school boys act like this!!

They chose to go into the bathroom stall and shout epithets in Spanish, not knowing I understand enough to know they were insulting me. Never have I engaged them in anymore than a simple wave hello off the air in the entire time we both worked there. In addition, the company has approved similar bits like this in the past.

Can you just imagine what they sounded like?

What a joke?

Is this how grown men are supposed to act?

This sparked another round of complaints to the company, who offered reasonable solutions to satisfy their ongoing and baseless grievances, but, insisting it was about the “honor of their culture,” Mr. Tapia and Mr. Carias went ahead and filed the criminal charge in Fulton County Magistrate Court against me and then filed civil complaints in Superior Court of Fulton County, GA against the company for "negligent hiring" and harassment and invasion of privacy chargess against me personally, omitting in the affidavit the salient fact that all remarks made about them and immigration were on the air, never off the air.

HONOR OF THEIR CULTURE MY ASS!!

This is not the way to honor "MY" culture!!!

I have been more than willing, at the company’s request, to agree in writing not to even so much as speak of Yogi and Panda on the air going forward, for the sake of company harmony, and clear up any misconceptions they have about my opinion of them personally, which was on the favorable side, since they serve their audience well and deliver good ratings numbers and revenue.

A case of a humorous prank has turned into a culture clash, a suppression of 1st Amendment rights, and a ridiculous smear campaign against me as well as termination of my income without due process.

You know this just goes to show what some people will do.

Sounds to me like someone is playing the racist game, pissed off at the white man because things aren't going their way.

This coming from me a hispanic AMERICAN woman!

When it comes down to it I prefer to just be called AMERICAN!

The war situation as bloggers see it

The attack in Pakistan that killed 80 al-Qaeda terrorists in training is being viewed by some as nothing more than a pre-election effort on George Bush's part to scar Americans into voting Republican. The Islamic seminary as some are calling the madrassa was warned ahead of time to close down. The locals are calling the dead 'civilians' rather than terrorists.

The madrassa which was bombed had been repeatedly warned to close down, the military states, and said that militants could not hide behind peace deals. Major General Shakaur Sultan said that the militants at the madrassa had received "clear warnings" before the attack. "They were told to close the madrasa, but they refused." He suggested that peace talks would still continue. source

Whether the U.S. was involved in the attack on the madrassa doesn't matter to me. The point is that bad guys are being targeted. So we missed the main target this time, Zawahiri's handyman, we are "Hot on Ahman al Zawahiri’s Trail". Faqir Mohammed's deputy, Maulana Liaquat Ali Hussain was killed in the attack. "According to NBC, Mohammed has been accused of providing shelter to militants and even invited bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, to the madrassa." (Wake Up America)

Pakistan is now admitting that the attack on a school in Pakistan was carried out by a U.S. Predator drone aircraft. ... Zawahiri Was Target in U.S. Attack on Religious School in Pakistan

Deborah over at My Little Corner of the World says the following about all the Muslim outrage over things like the Pope's comments:

For peace to come to Iraq, the Mid-east in general, Somalia, and all other Muslim (and non-Muslim nations) torn apart by violence, it will require the uprising of "mainstream" Muslims against the Radicals. Yes, this will be Muslim against Muslim, but it's the only way that peace will finally prevail. "Mainstream" Muslims must take back their religion so that it will finally, really and truly, be the Religion of Peace it's portrayed to be.

However Not Open For Business says " Moderate Islam Is A Myth":

The world as we know it is in the midst of a titanic struggle between opposing forces and cultures. Those who don't see a war between the "West" and "Islam" are looking in the wrong direction. I believe one major problem is that we have all become used to the fact that "radical Islamists" are waging an endless, and seemingly unwinnable, war on western countries and peoples.

It's unwinnable only if you look at the short term, however.

... moderate Islam is simply a wolf in sheep's clothing. There will never be an end to this strife until one side or the other is completely destroyed. And at this point, we're looking at MAD instead.

A Glimpse Of Iraq blog endeavors to explain the continuing violence in Iraq. The author is an Iraqi living in Iraq:

The picture is so complex! It is like watching a movie in different and spectacular colors changing in slow motion! Watching that picture unfold for more than three and a half years makes it look even more confusing! This, to my mind, has been the difficulty with understanding what has been happening in Iraq. So many forces! So many different means and manifestations! So many violent methods! Yet, people need simplifications; they need tags. This is my attempt at over-simplification!

An analogy to this attempt is the color system. A picture with a profusion of colors can be reduced to more elementary colors – ultimately three (RGB, red, green and blue)! ...

R- External-agenda Forces

This group includes the American administration and the US army, coalition forces, forces with international anti-American agenda (such as Al-Qaeda), countries that wish the US campaign to fail and the US to be bogged in the Iraqi quagmire, Countries of the region serving their own interests

G- Iraqi-agenda Forces

Forces of National Resistance, Baathists, "nationalistic" religious forces and Sectarian forces. This group must also include the two main Kurdish parties and a wide assortment of Iraqi political parties.

B- Criminal gangs

Pure criminal gangs out for money and the power associated with it, taking advantage of the absence of Law and Order to loot, rob banks, kidnap and murder; Criminal gangs in the service of any of the above forces willing to pay for their services to bomb, kidnap, sabotage and create chaos.

Putting different groups in a category does not necessarily mean that they are allies. More frequently than not, the opposite is true. Furthermore, entities within a single sub-group can have widely differing and conflicting objectives. For example, within "counties of the region" group, Iran, Syria, Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Kuwait have widely differing objectives and motives and use different means.

The picture is complicated for several reasons. One of which is that most groups do not publicly declare their true intents and positions. Another main reason is that the degree of interaction between the various groups is truly astounding, hence the spectacular range of colors! The most widely used vehicles have been funding and guns! The result: mostly red, innocent blood and a gray, devastated country.

I have always felt that had Saddam been killed rather than captured, things might not be as bad as they are now. With the verdict of his trial due very soon, some are predicting more violence should he be executed. I think just the opposite. Once Saddam is gone, the good people of Iraq can breath a sigh of relief knowing that he will never be able to take power again.

Fore Left has an excellent article, " Fight or flight" and I suggest you go read it all. Here are a few tid bits:

One of the problems with executing the Butcher has always been the mayhem that might result, but really, what does it matter now? ...

The American press isn't trying to help the terrorists on purpose, it's simply a byproduct of their collective ideology mixed with an incessant need to be seen as objective and fair. ...

Expanding on that, former CIA analyst Michael Scheuer thinks a Democrat victory in November would be a tremendous boon to the terrorist-propagandists. ...

This quote simply cannot be missed, as it brings into focus part of the inate nonsense driving this entire War on Terror:

And then there is the bravest ice cream seller in Baghdad, a Sunni. When Sunni militants demanded he close because there had been no ice cream in the time of the prophet Muhammad, he told them: “I’ll stop selling ice cream when you ride up on camels to threaten me. There were no BMWs in the time of prophet Muhammad either.” source

Outstanding comeback and the kind of smart defiance that must be done en-masse within the Islamic community if we're to win this. Yet such instances are few.

An article on Iraq and the broader war on terror would not be complete without this story from Captain's Quarters:

John Kerry has never hidden his contempt for the armed forces very well, not even when he served as an officer in the Navy. Yesterday the mask slipped a little bit, as John Ziegler at KFI notes on his website, and Allahpundit mirrors at Hot Air. At a political rally for California's Democratic challenger to Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor, Phil Angelides, Kerry told the Pasadena City College crowd to study hard and get an education -- or wind up like the losers in the military:

“You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”

Wow. Just wow. It's worth recalling that Kerry at one time aspired to command these same men and women from the White House, and claims to still want to lead them. How would these people react to taking orders from a Commander-in-Chief who believes them to be uneducated, lazy losers?

An Islamist website reported that, on October 26, 2006, an elderly Iraqi woman offered a 'prize' of 75 million dinar - about US $50,000 - to anyone bringing her a live American soldier in order to kill him. The website reported further that the woman, a resident of Al-Ramadi, had made the offer during Friday prayers at one of the city's mosques.

Analogy of illegal immigration Bario's, from Minuteman of One

The word analogy in our headline means "like the Bario" a place where the illegal aliens live en masse. America has become like the house of animal hoarders. The same mental illness exists in politicians for illegal aliens as it exists in the animal hoarders. Feminized politicians from both sides of the spectrum playing mother to their enslaved illegal aliens for votes and pure ego pleasure while the neighbors, average Americans citizens, suffer the consequences.

Iraq Can Teach the U.S. How To Fight Future Wars, The New York Sun

Exclusive: America’s Moslem Community: Our Greatest Asset in the War against Domestic Terrorism, --Ian M. Cuthbertson

It seems that, at least for the moment, the main reason why the United States is not facing any sizeable risk from domestic Islamicist terrorist groups is because of the radically different nature of the American Moslem community compared to their co-religionists in Europe. The United States has turned out to be an unpromising recruitment area for those in search of committed jihadist terrorists. American Moslems have, to an extent unseen in Europe, embraced their host society and its values. Their faith in the possibilities offered by the traditional social mobility that pursuing the ‘American Dream’ provides has been borne out by the reality that as a community, Moslems have prospered in America. The country’s tradition of extending an admittedly sometimes grudging welcome to new immigrants is coupled with a much wider acceptance of immigrants who are prepared to display a commitment to the nation’s core values, even if it is only ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’, is the mark of a history of inclusion that is in sharp contrast to the hostility, isolation, ghettoization and alienation that Moslems believe they have experienced in even the most liberal and multi-culturally inclined European countries.

Is Mr. Cuthbertson blind, dreaming or just full of wishful thinking?

2006 Election About War and Immigration

Elections in the United States this year come down to two major topics for me, the war on terror and illegal aliens. Of course taxes, the economy, are important too, but not the most important. Some folks might say the war in Iraq is the one determining factor in who gets elected and who doesn't. To hear the Democrats talk, one would think the votes had already been counted and they were now set to take control of the country.

I have faith in the American people and I don't place a lot of faith in polls where questions can be skewed. Both President George W. Bush and Karl Rove are upbeat about election results. Sister Toldjah looked into her crystal ball and forcast what the MSM would say about Bush and Rove:

I said to myself “how long will it be before someone on the left cooks up a conspiracy theory that all this confidence means that Rove and Bush have either 1) engineered an October surprise and/or 2) gotten Diebold to ‘assure’ us that we will ‘win’ the elections next month?”

It didn’t take long. Via Lyn Davis Lear at the HuffPo (emphasis added):

All week I’ve been reading in disparate sources from Drudge to US News and World Report about Bush, Rove and Cheney being overly confident about the midterm elections. Even Republican strategists are increasingly concerned because the White House doesn’t have a plan if they lose. This lack of planning shouldn’t surprise anyone, but if you really think about it a creepy, crawly feeling grows in your gut.

Here are some questions: Are these guys simply narcissistic idiots Rove-ing around in some never-never land bubble or do they know something we don’t? Have they planned a grab bag nose punch of an October/November surprise? Or have Diebold, ES&S, and local state secretaries assured them that they will do “whatever it takes” to get a Republican Congress elected again? Or are they just planning to outspend us? [snip]

If for whatever reason we don’t win back Congress in November the only real answer will be to take to the streets.

So there you have it, the Democrats will be such bad losers again they will accuse Republicans of cheating (again) rather than look at themselves and what they represent. They will 'take it to the streets' again rather asking, "could it possibly be "US" that the people don't want?". Personally I've always wondered why anyone would want to vote Democratic and today I ran across this article, "Why I'm Voting for Democrats" at Noodle Food.
The article wasn't what I expected, but it was interesting.

... In essence, the Democrats stand for socialism, or at least some ambling steps in its direction; the Republicans stand for religion, particularly evangelical Christianity, and are taking ambitious strides to give it political power.

The survival of this country will not be determined by the degree to which the government, simply by inertia, imposes taxes, entitlements, controls, etc., although such impositions will be harmful (and all of them and worse will be embraced or pioneered by conservatives, as Bush has shown). What does determine the survival of this country is not political concretes, but fundamental philosophy. And in this area the only real threat to the country now, the only political evil comparable to or even greater than the threat once posed by Soviet Communism, is religion and the Party which is its home and sponsor. --Dr. Leonard Peikoff, Philosopher of Objectivism

If I read that correctly, voting for Democrats is a vote against religion and for socialism. Hmmm.... No thank you.

So for some this election is about religion, socialism, welfare, high taxes, activist judges, pulling out of Iraq, open borders, pampering terror suspects, equal rights for guilty terrorists and US citizens. For me it is the war against Islamic terror and criminal invaders. What say you?

The Nightmare on Main Street Edition of the GTB Blogburst 10/30/06

By Heidi at Euphoric Reality

I was having a helluva time writing an article for this week's GTB Blogburst. Over the weekend, I started three articles and each one fizzled out for lack of inspiration. For instance, I started one on President Bush's new fence bill - the one that has no funding - and it was hard for me to work up any outrage, since I wasn't surprised at such an empty gesture. In fact, I was expecting nothing less from this President, and that's a sorry indictment of how faithless he's become. The President's abrogation of this issue has boiled my blood for years, and is one of the main reasons why I am no longer a Republican, but now a furious and rebellious Independent. As I mulled over what to say about Bush's latest nothingness, I realized that anything I had say about his treason on this issue, I've already said before - and then some.

So I started another article about the effect of the immigration issue on elections; or rather, the effect it should have, but isn't. Because here we are at election time again, having to hold our noses to go elect more of the same do-nothing politicians. Yeah, the same types who have successfully ignored the will of the people for so many years. Out of a nation of 300 million people, you'd think we could field a few really top notch candidates for leadership at any level. But noooo...

The point is that I remain uninspired and severely jaded. Call it writer's block, or call it a crisis of faith, but... I. GOT. NUTHIN'.

So, in a late hour attempt to find some really good material to offer our faithful Blogburst readers, I sent out a request to our affiliates for their favorite links this week, which I could compile for everyone's convenience. Thus, this week's Blogburst is a little bit of a Trick or Treat - some chilling, and some funny. Which is apropos, considering that our nation's immigration policy is a monstrous nightmare for mainstream Americans.

The Nightmare on Main Street Edition of the GTB Blogburst

So Bush signed a law to create a border fence. Here is an image of the fence as designed by a joint committee of Mexicans and Liberals, and approved by Bush...

Terror t-shirts

I have a great sense of humor, but the new 'terror t-shirts' don't strike me as funny. What if someone wears one, opens their jacket and gets mistaken for a suicide bomber? When they get shot by police will it be the policeman's fault the wearer is dead? What do you think?

Mutually Assured Destruction in This War

We haven't heard much about mutually assured destruction since the Cold War, but that term has been creeping back into public discourse over the last month, since North Korea tested a nuclear device. Should our government start using the term again? Is that the only thing that countries like Iran and North Korea would understand? Read "Stop Iran By Deterring Russia" from GOP Bloggers (emphasis Jonathan R.'s):

Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) worked to forestall a nuclear exchange during the Cold War. But the U.S. and U.S.S.R. were in the end pragmatic and did not want to unleash such devastation on themselves, which is why MAD worked as deterrence. Ahmadinejad himself is mad, so MAD won't work. What is needed is a new type of deterrence. And the only country that can make it credible is Israel, which is the only nation on the planet to be subjected to repeated threats of annhiliation by a soon-to-be nuclear power.

Israel ought to declare a new official policy: if it is ever subject to any kind of nuclear attack, whether by missile or suitcase or some other delivery system, it will automatically respond with a nuclear salvo to incinerate Tehran (Iran's capital), Qom (Iran's most holy city), Damascus (capital of Syria, Iran's lapdog) and...Moscow (Iran's nuclear enabler), regardless of the perpetrator. So what if Russia retaliates? Israel would only destroy Moscow upon itself already being destroyed, so there is nothing to lose. And it might make the Russians think twice about its insanely dangerous double game if it knew that its capital city's fate was inextricably linked to that of Israel's. (read more)

We already know that sanctions, even if strict ones get passed at the United Nations, will not deter Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or North Korea's Kim Jong Il. "We are not looking for tension but any action that aims to limit us will receive an appropriate and firm response from the Iranian people," said Ahmadinejad during a gathering in Pishva in Tehran province' vowing the Islamic republic would hit back against any eventual sanctions.

From True Hard Facts, "To be a 'good' Muslim":

Can't you westerners ever understand? We ache the "occupation" by non Muslims, we feel so dep/oppressed, take for example Australia, did you know it was first 'established by Muslims'? (so it is Muslim land "forever"), Spain? is all Muslims land, so is much of Europe, listen, we had a dream about Jerusalem too, we mean Muhammad said he had a dream that he "was" there, now you see? we have issues you never even knew...

The above comment is just one, go read the entire post here.

As I have said before, the United Nations is useless and we make a grave error in leaving our security in the hands of the terrorist nations and America bashers who are members of the United Nations. At least one writer is trying to understand the U.N. and states, "It's impossible to understand the United Nations without first studying the buried corpse it was built over—the League of Nations'.

One's opinion of the United Nations reveals a lot about political consciousness; and because perception is usually based on experience, it's only natural that people from different countries have opposing views about the UN and its pillar institutions— the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, and the World Trade Organization (WTO). In the United States, familiarity of the UN is limited to vague notions of 'international democracy' and 'peacekeeping', words that inspire the noblest of intentions; the World Bank and IMF on the other hand are institutions that invoke little reaction among the US public. How and by whom the UN was formed, whose interests it serves, and the actual history of its 'peacekeeping' missions are all things rarely examined. (read more)

The question is, "Nuclear holocaust: A risk too big even for martyrs?". Would the risk be too great for terrorist nations? My answer is that nothing is too great a risk for them. They don't care who gets hurt or killed. In a suicide bomber community anything goes.

Who is a civilian in this war?

At a madrassa in Pakistan today 80 people were killed by Pakistani troops and missiles fired by helicopters. Those killed were 80 militants 'training at a religious school used as an al Qaeda training center near the Afghan border'. These were people training to be al-Qaeda terrorists who would, after 'graduation', go out into the world to kill innocent human beings. Yet, 'local leaders said all those slain when the school, or madrassa, was destroyed were civilians'. So I'm asking, what is a civilian?

No, these terrorists in training were not wearing uniforms as we in the West know military uniforms. No, they were not members or any organized military belonging to a specific country. But by any intelligent person's definition, they certainly were NOT civilians, and therefore were perfectly logical targets for the Pakistani troops.

Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan said initial estimates based on intelligence sources on the ground indicated that the attack killed about 80 suspected militants, who appeared to be in their 20s and were from Pakistan and other countries.

"These militants were involved in actions inside Pakistan and probably in Afghanistan," Sultan told The Associated Press. ...

"We heard helicopters flying in and then heard bombs," said one of the villagers, Haji Youssef. "We were all saddened by what we have seen." source

Ok Haji, how saddened were you are the terror training that was going on in the school? How saddened were you at the thought of innocent women, children, men that would be killed by these future terrorists? Were you saddened enough to tell someone so that these people could have been arrested or were you helping to keep this training center a secret? Huh Haji? I'd like to know.

And, 'Among the dead was Liaquat Hussain, a local Islamic cleric who ran the madrassa, locals said. Several of his aides also died, they said.' Is a cleric a civilian if he is running a al-qaeda training camp? I don't think so.

'Western diplomats said Monday's attack was certain to be followed by rising anger across the country'. Well *spit*, no kidding. All the terror supporters will be upset because another one of their training centers is a pile of rubble (as it should be).

'The attack came two days after 5,000 pro-Taliban tribesmen held an anti-American rally in the Bajur area near Damadola...' So another question... Why didn't we take out those 5,000 Taliban supporters? I'm sick of this P.C. crap. If you are supporting terrorists, if you are training to be a terrorist, you are NOT A CIVILIAN in this war.

Veil teacher was obeying a fatwa

From Times Online:

Muslim teacher who insisted on wearing a veil in class has been following a fatwa issued personally to her by a Islamic cleric belonging to a hardline sect.

Aishah Azmi found herself in the middle of a national row about integration when she took her school to an employment tribunal after it suspended her for refusing to remove the veil in class.

Tony Blair joined the debate about the wearing of veils — opened by Jack Straw, the Commons leader — and supported the school’s actions.

Azmi, 24, has maintained that her decision to wear the veil was driven entirely by her personal beliefs, rather than the advice or instruction of a third party. But this weekend it emerged that she refused to take the veil off at school after receiving a fatwa, or religious ruling, from Mufti Yusuf Sacha, a Muslim cleric in West Yorkshire.

Her legal team revealed that the advice Sacha issued to Azmi ruled that it was obligatory for women to wear the niqab (face-veil) in the presence of men who were not their blood relatives.

Sacha is one of several hundred Islamic clerics in Britain with the status of mufti, entitling him to issue fatwas based on Islamic law. Although Muslims are expected to follow fatwas, they are not obliged to do so, particularly if they live in a non-Muslim state.

It's time to issue some fatwas of our own, like OBEY THE LAWS OF THE LAND INWHICH YOU LIVE, not the orders of your local radical cleric.
