Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) admitted to awarding thousands of dollars in scholarships to four relatives and a top aide’s two children in violation of rules set by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which provided the funds.
Question is if you did this at your job would they say … oh just give the money back.
The national discussion about Islam has finally come center stage since the Ground Zero “YMCA” was announced. Jack has been discussing Islam for 10 years now with muslims and non-muslims.
He has always said, you want to know about Islam, read Quran/hadith/sunna. How can you go wrong with that? In speaking with muslims, they say NO, ask a muslim if you want to know about Islam. Why? Why not go straight to the source?
A Gallup survey last year found that Americans who don’t personally know any Muslims were twice as likely to acknowledge “a great deal” of anti-Muslim prejudice. Republicans and those without college educations tend to be less favorable toward Islam.
Jack fits right in that catergory … Republican and some college education. Thing is though Jack would bet his ass he has spoken to more muslims and read Quran/hadeth/sunna than ANY of those that spout this shit.
They don’t want you to read Quran/hadeth/sunna either. They want you to ask a muslim. Again why? Why not go straight to the source. So lets go straight to the source. Case in point. A muslim will tell you this about killing.

if any one slew a person it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people
But what does the verse really say …
005.032
YUSUFALI: On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.
PICKTHAL: For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty), but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth.
SHAKIR: For this reason did We prescribe to the children of Israel that whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our messengers came to them with clear arguments, but even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land.
As you can see if you read the whole verse it’s left open ended if you are up to mischief in the land. Not exactly as a muslim would have you believe … right.
When you read stories of thiefs hands being cut off in Saudi or stoning of female adulters in Iran or kuffir being killed causing mischief in Somalia and other places. It’s spot on Islam.
If you want a whitewashed version ask a muslim. If you want the REAL version go to the source … Quran/hadeth/sunna.
This is a quote from the speech Obama made at the WH iftar dinner. When you flat out lie you should be called down.
And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country.
Take out the words “always” and “extraordinary” and you may have a grain of truth but only a grain. Leave them in and you have a flat out lie. Now we have 18% of the US public that thinks Obama is a muslim. MSM is astonished at that number. WaPo even does a hit piece on it to show how stupid 1 in 5 Americans are … not a piece of how Islam has “always been part of America” or the “extraordinary contributions to our country.”
Jack is thinking WaPo did the research to substantiate Obamas claims and couldn’t find anyway to spin it. Betting it went something like this …
WaPo editor: What we got on the speech people!
Reporter 1: He screwed the pooch!
Reporter 2: I can’t find anything to substantiate his outragous claims!
Reporter 3: I got an idea for a hit piece!
WaPo editor: Get that hit piece together stat … we can’t leave our investment flappin in the breeze people!
Fact is Obama talks about Islam (and most of the media) same as most muslims would talk about Islam. Take that with so many of the other things he has said and done concerning muslims and Islam Jack is astonished ONLY 18% of the American public believe is muslim.
Yep they must be a bunch of idiots … eh WaPo … and rest of the media.
Obama has stuck his foot in his mouth again. Nothing new really but his adminstration said the Ground Zero Mosque was a local issue and last night Obama made it a national issue.
At a White House dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Obama seemed to throw his support behind a controversial proposal to build an Islamic center and mosque near New York’s ground zero, saying Friday that “Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country.”
“That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances,” Obama said.
And as all our world leaders with exception of a few adds the caveat … Islam is the Religion of Peace. Not from where Jack sits. Islam is NOT the or a religion of peace. Jack knows where he gets his info from … straight from the horses mouth … Quran/hadeth/sunna.
So Jack’s question would be if he could ask these politicians everytime they toss that … Islam is “Religion of Peace” mantra out there for the masses … WHERE do YOU get your info from? We know it’s NOT from Quran/hadeth/sunna or you couldn’t in good faith be saying that.
Oppppps Jack sees his flaw here. One we are talking politicians. Two we are talking about politicians knowing the facts by doing some reading on their own as in the bills they pass all the time they never read.
Jack can bring you MANY references with MANY ISLAMIC scholars backing them up that would take a deaf, dumb and blind person to think Islam is “Religion of Peace.”
To date, only five countries – Britain, the US, Australia, Italy and Kuwait – have committed or pledged more than $5m in new funding.
Kuwait being the only muslim country to donate anything substantial to the aid of Pakistan. After Kuwait you’ll find only the UAE has donated a pittance for aid. Infact Jack being a man of meager means could match UAE’s contribution if he chose to … that is how little the muslim community has given to date.
Infact the Soho Property manangement company alone paid more for the property they plan to build the mosque on close to WTC than all “muslim” aid to Pakistan combined.
Now the supporters of this mosque say it’s all about tolerance … religious tolerance. If and when this mosque is built we’ll see how much tolerance there will be when Greg builds his gay bar next door.
Hell Jack’s thinking maybe a upscale “gentlemens club” or a casino or you get the idea … it’s all about tolerance … right!
Entitled “Preventing terrorism, where next for Britain?” it says the ideology of non-violent Islamists is “broadly the same as that of violent Islamists” adding “they disagree only on tactics.”
…
“Whilst only a small proportion will agree with al-Qaeda’s tactics, many will agree with their overall goal of creating a single ‘Islamic state’ which would bring together all Muslims around the world under a single government and then impose on them a single interpretation of sharia as state law.”
It has taken study after study to come to this conclusion when all you needed to do was READ the Quran/hadeth/sunna of Mohammad and a reasonably sane person would know this. All muslims know this whether they are what you would call “moderate” or “extreme.” Reason being this goal of the global calaphite is NOT a “moderate” or “extreme” ideology. It’s an inherent ISLAMIC ideology … political ideology. Islam 101 really. Along with that ideology comes sharia law. There is no escaping that part. Islam 101 again.
So let’s look at what countries follow this ideology? Jack has heard many muslims say Iran is the most Islamic country in the world today. Is that the system that you want to live under? Not Jack.
Now many will say … BUT Jack we have freedom of religion in the US. We sure do and that should not change. Islam is NO religion as any muslim will tell you. They tell us everyday and our politicians refuse listen and do another study or reach out program. Everytime they reach out … they bring back a nub.
Reports are calling the lodgings of Obama’s Spanish fiesta, the Hotel Villa Padierna in Marbella, “luxurious,” “posh” and “a millionaires’ playground.” Estimated room rate per night? Up to a staggering $2,500. Method of transportation? Air Force Two.
Jack understands these poeple live in the lap of luxury but come on man … don’t piss on his leg and tell him it’s raining!
And when she gets home jet off to Martha’s Vinyard with kids and dog.
