MUST READ: Islamic Radicalism in the Chicago Area, Muslim Watcher

Islamic Radicalism at the Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois and Environs
by Bruce Keegan

Highlights

From 2003 to 2004 Rasmieyh Abdelnabi was a reporter and op-ed writer for the Northern Star at NIU. She wrote articles defending Islam and veil wearing, and she wrote a few pro-Palestinian articles such as “Israel’s cry for pity should fall on deaf ears,” Northern Star, 5 Nov 2003. (Only a few of her articles can be found on the Web, but there may be more if one looked into the NIU archives). A couple of these articles came to the attention of pro-Israel watchdogs, as well as anti-Islamists bloggers.

About the same time that Rasmieyh wrote a rabid anti-Israel piece, a Jewish student’s car was vandalized in broad daylight on or near the NIU campus. Someone keyed in the word “Jew.” Northern Star staff refused to report on it calling it an isolated incident. Isaac then read the “Israel’s cry…” article and responded, calling the Northern Star an anti-Semitic/Pro-Terrorist paper. (read it all here)

Our Palestinian Merry-Go-Round, Beyond the Cusp, excerpt:

It is imperative that we awaken to the fact that there is little difference between Fatah and Hamas over the long haul. It is time to replace the old and counter-productive reasoning that the enemy of my enemy is my friend and instead engage with a fresh idea, namely that the enemy of my friend is my enemy.

"It will permit us to underpin investments ... above all in those countries whose governments are making efforts to liberate themselves from the (U.S.) imperialist yoke," Chavez said.

"This fund, my brother," the Venezuelan president said, referring affectionately to Ahmadinejad, "will become a mechanism for liberation."

"Death to U.S. imperialism!" he said.
