A search for svdpusa.org on Alexa takes you to an analytics page for growthclimate.com, which is apparently owned by the Arab Bankers of North America. Does this mean that the website for the U.S. national office of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul resides on a domain controlled by ABANA?

The Society has accepted donations from Aramco in the past, but this website connection seems awfully peculiar.

The overt and aggressive private and public anti-Christian sentiment so evident in Iraq . . . is not limited to Iraq. It is to be found throughout the lesser and greater Middle East, throughout Asia. It is to be found also in Africa and increasingly it is being found within the once-Christian lands of Western Europe. – Cardinal Seán Brady, archbishop of Armagh, Ireland

[T]he Muslim Brotherhood – whether it is operating in Egypt, elsewhere in the world, or here – is our enemy. Vital U.S. interests will be at risk if it succeeds in supplanting the present regime in Cairo, taking control in the process not only of the Arab world’s most populous nation but its vast, American-supplied arsenal. – Frank Gaffney

[Editor's note: Lars Hedegaard, a Danish critic of Islam, is on trial in Denmark for remarks he made regarding dysfunctions and abuse within Islamic family culture. Under Denmark's law 266b dealing with alleged hate speech, defendants are not allowed to prove the truth of their comments and all that is needed for conviction is whether any one person feels offended. Below are his final words in the Court of Frederiksberg on January 24, 2011.] – Common Sense & Wonder

These new guidelines are certainly odd:
“We must never denounce the jihad;
We must never demean
The mujahideen,
As they force us to worship their god.”
(2008)

Today, the United States faces [an] insidious ideological threat: Shariah, the authoritarian doctrine that animates the Islamists and their jihadism. Translated as “the path,” Shariah is a comprehensive framework designed to govern all aspects of life. Though it certainly has spiritual elements, it would be a mistake to think of it as a “religious” code in the Western sense because it seeks to regulate all manner of behavior in the secular sphere — economic, social, military, legal and political. That regulation is oppressive, discriminatory, utterly inimical to our core constitutional liberties, and destructive of equal protection under the law, especially for women. – James Woolsey, Andrew C. McCarthy and Harry E. Soyster

Like others who call this great nation home, I am troubled by the plans to build a mosque next to Ground Zero. As one who immigrated from Sudan, I have plenty of reasons to be. – William Ochan Levi

CORDOBA
Like a swaggering conquering hero,
Rauf is building a mosque at Ground Zero
– Where some 3000 bodies
Were interred by jihadis –
And Obama just fiddles like Nero.

From the archive:

SEPTEMBER 11th
Kissed my loved one at the door.
No idea what lay in store.
In the tower
Not an hour.
Now my loved one is no more.
(2001)

Last week’s limerick:

ME SHELL, CONT.
While the rest of us scrimp all the time,
She displays an indifference sublime:
Our First Lady, Michelle,
Does exceedingly well
As she travels the world on our dime.

At a White House celebration of Ramadan tonight in the company of representatives of several of the Nation’s most prominent Muslim Brotherhood front organizations, President Obama announced his strong support for one of their most immediate objectives: the construction of a mega-mosque and “cultural center” at Ground Zero. – Frank Gaffney

A mosque at Ground Zero would add insult to injury, but Obama is turning the other sheik.

The challenge of assuring public awareness of the Shariah threat would be hard enough if the only impediment were ill-informed politicians and journalists.  Matters are made much worse by the skill with which Shariah’s adherents dissemble, or simply lie. – Frank Gaffney

Stealth jihadists are just like communists, racial agitators, feminists, gay activists, and environmentalists. They’re all totalitarians and they all lie. Then, when someone challenges them, they accuse him of being paranoid or bigoted and all the morons and moral cowards quickly fall in line.

The morons, otherwise known as useful idiots, are sincere, stupid people who’ve been conditioned — by the media and the “educational” system — to say the things that the liars want said.  The general theme is tolerance (of predators posing as victims), which makes the morons feel morally superior, and their motives cannot be challenged because they have no direct connection to the cause — and no idea that they’ve been duped.

Here’s an example of self-avowed conservatives delighting in their open-mindedness as they promote the gay-rights agenda.
