Many readers are asking me about “All-American Muslim,” the faux-reality show airing on TLC, beginning on Sunday Night. Those readers must have missed my column about this show back in July, and I urge you to read it.

I am familiar with the Muslims the show is presenting viewers with, including Suehaila Amen, with whom I’ve had dealings and who is an active member of organizations that openly support Hezbollah and HAMAS.  One of the characters on the show allegedly saw a school official hit a student and didn’t report it. You can bet that won’t be on the show.  And while the show tries to pretend that these Muslims are “just like us,” just like any other Americans, the fact is they aren’t, and the show won’t ask them probing questions, like asking them to condemn Hezbollah and HAMAS.  In fact, as I pointed out, most, if not all, of the Muslims on the show are Shi’ite Muslims of Lebanese descent.  They all support Hezbollah.  But that H-word won’t come up on the show because they won’t condemn this terrorist group that murdered over 300 U.S. Marines and Embassy officials in 1983 and which has been working with Al-Qaeda to murder hundreds more Americans ever since, including at the Khobar Towers and in Iraq.  The tattoos of one of the Muslim women on the show don’t change the fact that she supports an Islamic terrorist group and won’t condemn it.

Ditto for Ayatollah Khomeini, the man behind the kidnapping of U.S. hostages in Tehran for 444 days, who is a revered figure in that community.  Khomeini, as I pointed out, was celebrated just months ago in this same Shi’ite Muslim community, with posters in the markets and a banquet celebrating his birthday.  You won’t see that on “All-American Muslim,” either, because it isn’t exactly “All-American” . . . until Shi’ite Muslims take over.

Since it’s Veterans Day, I could not let the day go by without sharing with you these exclusive photos from my collection, depicting Jewish soldiers in the U.S. Armed Forces praying during World War II at Normandy and in Germany on Nazi enemy territory, including in Goebbels’ home.  I’ve described each photo in a caption below.

Pfc. Abraham Mirmelstein (left) of Newport News, VA holds the Torah scroll as Capt Manual M. Poliakoff (center) and Corp. Martin Willien, cantor, both of Baltimore conduct Jewish prayer services at Schloss Rheydt, the castle home of Dr. Josef Paul Goebbels, Nazi propaganda minister, in Muenchen Gladbach, Germany. The services, held in memory of soldiers of the Jewish faith who died in the drive to the Rhine, were the first held east of the Roer River in Germany. The photo was taken by the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1945 or ’46.

It’s trite but eternally true: freedom isn’t free. And while today we honor our American veterans for the service they gave to this country, it’s something we should do every single day. I try to do it and I always thank soldiers and those with VFW hats or other insignia indicating they served. I’ve posted the pictures, below, several times before on this site. But they bear re-posting because they show the sacrifice, the agony, the emotion of those who serve so we can remain free. Without them and the grace of G-d, we might all be in burqas and keffiyehs, right now. And because of gutless politicians, authorities, and the mainstream media and pop culture, that may be coming soon anyway. Still, we certainly wouldn’t be free to say and do as we please, today, without our military. Without them there would be no First or Second Amendment and without those, no America. Without our brave men serving overseas and on our own shores, America would be a scary place . . . if it even existed at all. Never forget that.

Some people are upset that there’s no mail or bank service today, and government offices are closed. Others are happy that as government employees they get the day off. But the point is to take some time out–have some reminders–of why we are all free to continue our business, our lives, our families, our ambitions, our freedom of speech, religion, and everything else every day of the week. And that’s because every single day, at risk of losing life or limb, our servicemen stand guard, so that we can continue our lives as we wish, without interruption or, worse, tyranny.

Today, I recognize and remember all of those who served, living and dead. I remember my own father, H.L. Schlussel, M.D., a U.S. Army veteran who served during Vietnam, my great-uncle, Maurice J. Schlussel, M.D., a career Army man who served during World War II and became the top U.S. Army medical officer for the South Pacific after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I salute my cousin, Damian, a career U.S. Air Force soldier who served in Iraq, recently returned from an “undisclosed location in Asia,” and found himself in many other similar “paradises” I’d never wanna visit nor would you.

And I salute all of my brave and courageous readers who took the time to serve our country, not knowing what they would face and sacrifice along the way, but joining the U.S. Armed Forces to keep America safe and secure. Read the rest of this entry »

Where the heck is 17-year-old actress Dakota Fanning’s mother?  Probably laughing all the way to the bank. Apparently, she’s more concerned with raking it in off her meal ticket daughter than using even a modicum of parental discretion.  Or generating publicity for her daughter’s lackluster, flagging acting career.  That’s clearly the case with Fanning’s latest “venture”:  modeling the sexually suggestive and provocative photo, below, for Marc Jacobs’ “Oh, Lola!” perfume.  You don’t need to be a prude to find this tasteless. In case you forgot, Lola is short for “Lolita”–you know, the Vladimir Nabokov novel about a middle-aged man who has sex with a 12-year-old.  Oh, and the flower thing–yup, being de-flowered.  Get it?  None of this is happenstance or coincidence.  It’s carefully orchestrated.  As you may know, Jacobs is a huge Barack Obama supporter and friend (who frequently wears skirts). Michelle Obama regularly wears his designer clothes.  (Below is a photo of Jacobs and his boyfriend.)  Hey, maybe the Obama girls should see the ad below and get some of their own “Oh, Lola!” . . . and some “Lolita experiences.”

Dakota Fanning Ad for Marc Jacobs (in Skirt)

Fanning was cute (but talentless) as a kid.  Unfortunately, despite the fact that she grew up and is no longer cute (but still talentless), Hollywood casting agents and directors still give this plain Jane acting jobs.  And, apparently, it’s gone to her and her stage mother’s heads.  No big deal that a perfume bottle is suggestively placed in her crotch like some sort of giant penis or vibrator, right?  After all, this is the age of Oprah and her sexperts telling moms to buy their ten-year-old daughters sex toys and vibrators.  So, anything goes.  No problem with sexualizing young girls (and though Fanning is 17, she is clearly made to look younger in this ad). This is the kind of stuff the Muslim world uses as propaganda about how decadent the West is (all while those same Muslims rape 12-year-olds). Read the rest of this entry »

Open borders advocates, illegal alien supporters, and other liberals are celebrating the defeat of Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce in Tuesday’s elections.  He was the author of the Arizona immigration enforcement laws, enacted because the Obama government isn’t doing the job (and Bush didn’t either).  Pearce lost in a recall election to a fellow Republican, Jerry Lewis.  It’s a frightening development for the future.

Today, most districts in America are not overwhelmingly Latino.  But in many places, particularly in the Southwest, they are.  And that means it will be tougher to elect and retain public officials dedicated to this very important national security issue.  In this case, however, the Latino open borders crowd and Obama-friendly SEIU recruited a phony “conservative Republican” White Mormon to defeat the secure borders guy. It’s a classic case of dirty politics and the verboten alliances that brings. Those alliances will remain once Mr. Lewis takes office.  Are Mormons really against immigration enforcement?  That’s how the Arizona media is portraying it, and it sounds like the LDS church isn’t exactly for secure borders, which is disturbing but not surprising.

Unhappiness among Mormon voters over the image that Pearce, a Mormon, had cast on their religion. . . .

Under the recall provision of Arizona’s Constitution — a century-old vestige of the Progressive Era — any number of candidates can run, and all voters in the electoral district can cast ballots.

Pearce campaign officials said that created a situation where Democrats and independents could vote in what would, under other circumstances, have been a Republican primary election. Read the rest of this entry »

Despite requests from many readers, I’ve stayed away from commenting on the Penn State football scandal involving retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky’s serial rapes of young boys.  That’s because I wanted to learn more about it and I also didn’t think I had much to add to the cries of outrage (though I wonder how many of the “outraged!” would have done the same thing to protect their job situations and comfortable lives, rather than speak out and raise the hell they are raising now).  But now that I’ve learned more, as the rest of you have, I have a few observations.

Yes, it’s true that it turns out Penn State head-football-coach-for-almost-life Joe Paterno did, in fact, report the allegations–once–about Sandusky to school officials, did nothing else and the school didn’t do much either.  Maybe they felt they couldn’t prove it.  But I’m not sure why not because as we all know by now, assistant coach, Mike McQueary, walked in on Sandusky raping a young boy in the showers.  That should have been enough to at least fire the guy, Sandusky. I don’t know how you see a guy raping a kid and you don’t immediately yell at him to stop–and if you’re a guy, as McQueary is (and he’s a physically big guy who could have stopped this), how you don’t punch the rapist out or at least pull him off. What if that was your kid?

On the other hand, I’m not surprised little happened and that Paterno and company did the least amount possible that they were required to do and chose, instead, to protect their football program.  We live in a nation of cowards and sheep, where the status quo and protecting lucre and businesses–and college sports is a multi-trillion dollar business–is the way of the world.  Courage in this country is rare.  And people who speak out are vilified.  Most people would rather say nothing and protect their lives and what they have.  That’s why are nation is sinking.  Most Americans would rather not be called bigots, so they don’t speak out against the ever-encroaching Islamic threat or even suspicious Middle Eastern men on their airplane flight.  We tell Americans, “if you see something, say something,” then beat them up as “haters” when they do. Moreover, most Americans would rather not rock the boat.  It’s something that always bothers me.   (I also wonder if the more “politically correct” gay rape of boys is something less likely to be reported because accusers and witnesses don’t want to be labeled for life as “homophobic.” Maybe he thought a guy named “McQueary” reporting gay rape in a place called “Happy Valley” would make him the butt of jokes on late night TV and sports talk radio.)

Since 9/11 we’ve repeatedly been lectured by public officials (from the President on down) and the media about Islamic “modesty,” as if Muslims’ sense of (and demand for) modesty–in many case, fraudulent–is somehow more important and more intent than the modesty of religious Christians and Orthodox Jews.  This was especially hilarious when the media–and conservative Islamo-panderer Jeff Jacoby–got all upset over sexy female interrogators allegedly brushing their breasts against the backs of Islamic terrorists at Gitmo.  Yup, the same Islamic terrorists and “modest Muslims” who hung out in strip joints and patronized hookers. Remember pious Muslim Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan’s fave hangout joint aside from the mosque? Strip clubs.  And, as I’ve noted, the largest strip joints in the Detroit area are owned by rival Shi’ite Muslim families who claim they are sooooo modest.  Now, comes yet another example of “Islamic modesty”–Mohammed Omar Mahfouz of Bullhead City, Arizona.

Mohammed Omar Mahfouz: Master Purveyor of Islamic Modesty

Methinks his idea of “modesty” is deciding between pasties or no pasties, and he predictably went with the “no pasties” choice, as they all do. And I wonder if he got his stash from his Shi’ite friends in the Bekaa Valley. On the other hand, his surname is the same as the key financier in the Al-Qaeda “Golden Chain” of Sunni money men, Khalid Bin Mahfouz.

The story of Turkia Awada Mullin and Robert Ficano is a stark example of what happens when vocal, whining Muslims run an entire county in the United States of America.  And it isn’t pretty.  Corruption, fraud, forgery, lies, self-dealing, blatant conflicts of interest, and large suspicious payouts and wastes of taxpayer money are just some of the consequences.  Hey, just like back in the Muslim Mid-East! The video below tells a tiny sliver of the story. Disregard the fact that the video is by Charlie LeDuff, the former New York Times reporter caught in plagiarism scandals at two newspapers where he worked, and whose phony, made-up articles for the Detroit Newsistan bought them a defamation lawsuit which they were forced to admit had merit and had to resolve to the satisfaction of the plaintiff. The stuff in this videotape, below, has already been reported by other sources. LeDuff’s producer just did a good job packaging it.

2 Muslims & a Dhimmi Ran a U.S. County & a Major Airport: Azzam Elder, Turkia Awada Mullin, Robert Ficano




FOX 2’s Charlie LeDuff Digs into Turkia Mullin’s Past: MyFoxDETROIT.com

Over the last month and a half, the biggest news story and scandal in the Detroit area has been the Turkia Awada Mullin story.  Ms. Awada Mullin, who until last week was the new chief of Detroit Metro Airport, is a Hezbollah-supporting Shi’ite Muslim (who was born in Lebanon), a fact, no one in the Detroit news media would mention.  And, upon taking the job, she got an illicit $200,000 severance payment from Wayne County (the county which encompasses Detroit) for voluntarily quitting her previous job.  All of this–the airport job for which she wasn’t qualified and had no airport experience, the ridiculous “severance pay” for leaving a job to get another one, and other perks and lucre she received were the result of strings pulled by Muslim officials and a county leader, County Executive Robert Ficano, who is sleeping with a Christian Palestinian supporter of the P.L.O. and sympathizer with other Islamic terrorist groups, Jumana Judeh.

Because of the firestorm, Awada Mullin was removed from her airport job, last week, but it’s distressing that a Shi’ite Muslim with Hezbollah sympathies and no airport experience was chosen to run one of the nation’s largest and busiest airports, where security concerns arise every minute.  Awada Mullin was chosen as the chief of Detroit Metro Airport, with the support of “former” Islamic terrorist, Imad Hamad, a man who fundraised for HAMAS, was a terrorist for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (and committed marriage and immigration fraud), and whose FBI award was revoked after a column I wrote in the New York Post.  Federal Air Marshals working out of Detroit Metro told me they were disturbed and beyond concerned when Hamad, whom the government fought to deport for over two decades, sent a Christmas card specifically addressed to their “secret” location in the airport.  With people like Awada Mullin in charge, they and others were worried about what other security information would be disclosed and compromised.

Like many of you, I’m sick of Michael Jackson.  And yesterday’s verdict finding Dr. Conrad Murray guilty of involuntary manslaughter is, to me, a miscarriage of justice.  Michael Jackson was a drug addict.  He was going to get Propofol and die, no matter which doctor treated him.  He had obviously had Propofol before, and it was likely prescribed to him by other doctors.  He was so drugged up on prescriptions obtained under fake names from a plethora of doctors, he wasn’t long for this world.  He killed himself, not this doctor.  For any other patient, Dr. Murray would have lost his medical license (or it would have been suspended).  He wouldn’t have been tried for murder.  The only reason he was on trial is because his dead patient was Michael Jackson and because a gazillion loser fans and his user/loser family members wanted a fall guy.

It was annoying to hear the judge, yesterday, demand that Dr. Murray be immediately incarcerated because he is “an imminent danger to society.”  Huh?  He’s only an “imminent threat” to multi-millionaire drug addicts who hire him at $150,000 per month to become their personal pushers.  And how many are there of those in society?  Not many.  Who hires a personal doctor at $150,000?  Few celebrities.  That’s the ploy of a sick, wealthy drug addict bribing a medical professional to be his dealer.  And Dr. Murray is guilty of taking the bribe and supplying what Jackson would have gotten and did get no matter whom he hired.

It disgusted me to see Michael Jackson’s estranged family–with whom he wanted and had nothing to do–demanding justice and attending the trial.  Jackson’s sister, LaToya, whoring herself out for the media as is her typical style, was the same sister who went on national and international TV and said he molested children.  Now, she’s the doting sister, posthumously of course.  These people are frauds and hypocrites and hangers-on.  You have to wonder about the idiots who waited outside the courtroom every day during the trial.  Get a job, people!  And get a life.  I like this video, below, of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” writer/comedian Tony Barbieri a/k/a “Jake Byrd,” because it illustrates what losers and idiots these fans are.
