Jihad Council

• Council Jihad

In the post-Bloomberg political era, an imminent change in council leadership and the shaping of influence of New York's unparalleled campaign finance system took center stage at the City Hall. Unfortunately, these dual dynamics have wound up at war already, with a leading candidate for next Council Speaker, Bill de Blasio. De Blasio is a poster boy for conflict of interest on a bill that essentially exempts unions from the same affiliation standards that the Campaign Finance Board has long applied to all institutional donors.

• Heresy of a 'Hebrew Palestinian'

Uri Davis is a "serial thorn in the side of the Israeli state," according to British journalist Jonathan Cook. Justin White of the blog Taming Korach describes him as "Islam's New Tool." He has been called worse. Davis is an Israeli Jew (he prefers the descriptor 'Hebrew Palestinian') who [Fatah] projects itself as the main plank of the PLO, which is fine, and the PLO projects itself as the representative of the Arab-Palestinian people. The ANC in South Africa did not just project itself as the representative of the oppressed nonwhite people of South Africa, but as the democratic alternative of ail the people, nonwhite and white. The official statements of Fatah and the PLO say nothing that projects themselves as the democratic alternative to Zionism that would offer a decent future for...

• Kashmiri Separatist Seeks End to Armed Struggle ; Says Many 'Loved Ones'sacrificed; Militants Slam Him for 'Cowardice'

When Kashmiri political leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq told a crowd in Islamabad, Pakistan, last month that he was calling for an end to armed struggle as a means to bring the region out from under the yoke of Indian rule, he did so at no small personal risk. Preceding his visit, in what many saw as an unsubtle message against his moderate stance, unknown gunmen attacked his home here in Kashmir's largest city with automatic weapons fire and grenades. When Mr. Farooq, chairman of the All Parties Hurriyat (Freedom) Conference, told Pakistani journalists that "we are not prepared to sacrifice any more of our loved ones," to a conflict that has claimed at least 40,000 lives, killed either by Indian forces or by Islamic militants, the United Jihad Council, a Pakistan-based coalition of militant...

NEW YORK, July 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The human rights group Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) today called on the FBI and Virginia's Tidewater Joint Terrorism Task Force to resist efforts by an Islamic supremacist hate group to intimidate state and federal law enforcement officers and dictate how they are to be trained about the Islamic jihad threat.

• Inspired by the Nazis ; Germany Hears Echoes in Radical Islam

A few days before the sixth anniversary of September 11, a young man ranting in Arabic accosted a rabbi walking home from his synagogue in an upscale neighborhood of Frankfurt, and stabbed him. As he shoved the blade of his pocketknife into the rabbi's stomach, he switched from Arabic to German and told the man: "You sh-- Jew, I'm going to kill you." The rabbi survived. Jewish leaders in Germany were outraged and condemned the barbarism, but moderated their criticism. We oppose leveling blanket accusations at the Muslim community because the majority of Muslims in Germany condemn acts of violence in the name of Islam," said Dieter Graumann, the vice president of the German Jewish Council. But he observed that Islamist hate- preachers regularly exhort young Muslims to carry out jihad ag...
