7-year-old girl attacked with knife in Detroit.

NY Post: Deranged old man slits throat of 7-year-old girl playing in park.

“I was playing and then I saw like a man,” Saida told WXYZ Detroit, “I said ‘hi’ to him.”

That politeness gave no pause to Gary Lansky, 73, who proceeded to grab the girl’s head and pull out a pocket knife, according to authorities.

“And he just put up my head and then he just slide the knife on my throat,” Saida told the station Thursday.

“He came up to her out of all the kids, like why her,” [her mother Amira] Sharhan added, “It’s unbelievable. I don’t know how to explain it really.”

CBS News: Mother of 7-year-old girl attacked with knife in Detroit speaks out: "Why her?"

[...] she kicked him, ran home, and was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.

"They said that she's lucky, she's very lucky. It was really deep, the cut," Sharhan said.

The alleged attacker, 73-year-old Gary Lansky, is charged with assault with intent to murder and felonious assault.

The Michigan chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI) believes the case should be investigated as a hate crime.

“This is a hate crime. It’s not a random act of violence,” said Arab-American Civil Rights League Executive Director, Mariam Charara.

In this instance, CAIR and AACRL are spot on.

Lansky is - you guessed it - playing the Victim Card. He's old. He has dementia. He didn't know what he was doing. Really? He picked the little Muslim kid out of all the other children, slit her throat and didn't know and understand what he did? Hate Crime!

What's this from FB?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh...

You may recall last year's tragic stabbing of a Detroit Synagogue President, Samantha Wolf. This story received national MSM coverage several nights in a row breathlessly describing it as, "an apparent anti-semitic attack," until the investigation proved it was random, the attacker didn't know Ms. Wolf and didn't know she was  Jewish. 

Narratives. Some are more newsworthy than others.

AOC takes another hard swing at AIPAC!

AOC, willing to stand up against AIPAC, an intrusive, influential and authoritative group of Israeli interests placing their goals ahead of U.S. and America's best interests.

AOC stands with Thomas Massie, Rand Paul and Chris Van Hollen and Bernie Sanders. Rashida Tlaib and Illhan Omar also are critical of the influence AIPAC has on our government. 

Massie also states that the majority of his colleagues, prior to committing to a position on a bill tell him, "I'll check with my AIPAC guy."

Uh, no -  the only check these people need to make is representing what their constituents want, not AIPAC, Israel, CAIR or any other group. 

This ISN'T anti-semitism or "Jew Hatred." No single group should wield this much influence in U.S. foreign and domestic policy, no matter who it is; Israel, Sweden, Jews, Buddhists, Italians, Irish, Greeks, the Orthodox Church, Mormons - any of them.

And now, my completely inappropriate and insulting PhotoShop of the prophet Mohammad (pbuh)!

^ That's him, all right! ^

How can I be so insensitive?!?

Hope CAIR (Can't Antagonize Islamic Radicals) and The Religion of Peace don't attack me!

FOX News (MSN): Hamline University professor fired for showing images of Muhammad had warned students in syllabus.

A Minnesota liberal arts professor who was allegedly fired after showing students images of Muhammad in a class about Islamic art warned students about the works in the syllabus.

Erika López Prater, an adjunct professor at Hamline University, issued a syllabus warning students that the class would contain images of holy figures, including the prophet Muhammad and the Buddha, according to a New York Times report Sunday. Students were told they could contact her with any concerns about the course material, but none did, according to the report.

Prater also reportedly warned students that a painting containing an image of Muhammad was going to be displayed a few minutes ahead of time, giving anyone who might be offended by such imagery an opportunity to leave the classroom.

Despite the multiple warnings, a senior student in the class later complained to administrators about the imagery and picked up support from Muslim students who were not in the class, resulting in Prater not being welcomed back to the school and setting off national controversy surrounding academic freedom.

Some people were offended by something they didn't see!

 

Sweden: Land of Gang Violence.

Huh...must be all those vicious, angry and violent Jews and Christians who don't like the Swedes.

Remember when President Donald Trump said, in 2017, "look what's happening in Sweden." And Sweden and American Liberals said, "What?" and laughed at Trump?

It turns out President Trump was, and is, correct. Many of us already knew what the president said was accurate. The media decided reporting on this was - um - disrespectful to "some people" and avoided covering stories like this.

Gatestone Institute: "F***ing Swede."

In Gothenburg, a criminal gang of youths forced their victim to kiss the gang leader's feet, while they filmed him. After that, they stamped on his face until he passed out. — Expressen, October 1, 2019.

"It is a way to show your power. They want to dominate places. They do that by putting fear in other youths." — Thomas Petterson, analyst for the Gothenburg police, Expressen, August 31, 2019.
[.]
"Previously, gang rapes were virtually unknown in Sweden. But since the 1980s, they have steadily increased. Since 1995, they have quadrupled. In 1999, 35 gang rapes were recorded in Stockholm alone. Today, the media reports every week or every two weeks on such violent crimes." — Ingrid Björkman, Jan Elfverson, Jonathan Friedman and Åke Wedin, in the book, Exit Folkhemssverige.
[.]
The "humiliation robberies" have recently caused much consternation in Sweden. In Gothenburg, a criminal gang of youths forced their victim to kiss the gang leader's feet, while they filmed him. After that, they stomped on his face until he passed out.

In Stockholm, two 16-year-olds robbed, punched and kicked their 18-year old victim for hours. At the end of the ordeal, they took him behind a church where one of the perpetrators urinated on him while they called him names such as "fucking Swede". They then forced him to take his clothes of while laughing mockingly at him, the victim, only known as Liam, told Swedish TV. The two 16-year-olds filmed the incident and spread it on social media.

The parents of one of the perpetrators came to Sweden six years ago from an unspecified African country, according to Swedish TV, who interviewed them in February. The parents both work and said that their son lacks for nothing. The mother wore a hijab during the interview.

Although Swedish media rarely publish details of the ethnic origins of gang members, some media research has shown that gang members overwhelmingly are either foreign-born or children of immigrants. In 2017, the Swedish mainstream media outlet Expressen did a report about the 49 criminal networks in Stockholm. The report showed the networks consisted of between 500 and 700 gang members: 40.6% of the gang members that Expressen surveyed were foreign-born; 82.2% had two parents who were foreign-born. Their main country of origin was Iraq, followed by Bosnia, Lebanon, Somalia, Syria and Turkey.

"It is a way to show your power. They want to dominate places. They do that by putting fear in other youths," said Thomas Petterson, an analyst for the Gothenburg police, in August.
[.]
Exit Folkhemssverige also has a section about gang rape, which the authors present as a different kind of humiliation crime:
[.]
The usual pattern is the same as in the gang robberies. First, the ethnic relationship is the same: the victims are Swedish and among the perpetrators, the immigrants are greatly over-represented. For example, a study on sentencing practices shows that out of 24 perpetrators convicted of gang rape in 1989–91, 21 were foreign nationals. Whether the three Swedish citizens were ethnic Swedes or immigrants is not accounted for. Second, both perpetrators and victims are getting younger. In August 2001, for example, two 13-year-old girls in Malmö were raped by six immigrant boys aged 11 to 14. The case received widespread media attention, resulting in 17 rape reports against the same gang being filed with the police in the following days... The term 'whore' for Swedish women was launched by Muslim immigrant men from the Middle East. The concept has since been adopted by male immigrants from other cultures and now seems established..."

Welcome to Diversity. It strengthens and enriches the "social fabric."

All cultures are equal? Anyone trying to convince you of that is lying.

Extortion...I mean... "financial settlements"...always fixes "trauma".

The Background of the Minnehaha Regional Park story.

Daily Mail: $170,000 compensation payout for four terrified Somali-American teens.

The families of four Somali-American boys have received a $170,000 settlement from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board after the group were held at gunpoint by local authorities.

Newly released police body camera footage shows the teens -  at the time ranging from ages 13 to 16 - being held at gunpoint and forcibly handcuffed on the ground during the July 2018 incident at Minnehaha Regional Park. 

'We still deal with the fear and trauma of this incident, but part of the healing process is that we are getting justice,' Halimo Isse, mother to one of the boys, said to KSTP.
[.]
Each of the families will walk away with $40,000. The remaining money will go to the Minnesota chapter of the Council of American-Islamic Relations for their legal fees.

"Some President Retweeted something." Feelings were hurt.

@Down_Under Twitter:

Breitbart: Trump use of doctored Pelosi-Schumer photo draws Muslim ire.

President Donald Trump circulated a fake image on Monday depicting congressional Democrats’ top-ranked leaders in traditional Muslim attire in front of the Iranian flag, drawing criticism that he was promoting Islamophobic tropes.

The manipulated photo retweeted by Trump showed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in Muslim garb with the caption: “The corrupted Dems trying their best to come to the Ayatollah’s rescue #NancyPelosiFakeNews.” Trump, a Republican, had previously faulted Democrats for criticizing his administration’s targeted killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, but his use of Muslim imagery as part of that effort drew pushback from Muslim American advocates.
[.]
The image that Trump retweeted has been circulating on the internet for a few days. The Twitter account that Trump got it from has a history of tweeting in both English and Persian about Iranian issues, promoting pro-Trump content and criticizing U.S. Democrats.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham defended Trump’s retweet of the image, telling Fox News on Monday that the tweet was intended to show Democrats “have been parroting Iranian talking points, and almost taking the side of terrorists and those who were out to kill the Americans.”

The alleged faked imagery...a doctored, manipulated photo...on the Internet...this is something new, then?

Kentucky government will host first "Muslim Day" at state capitol on January 22.

NTEB: Radical Terror-Supporting Group CAIR Will Be Holding Kentucky’s First-Ever ‘Muslim Day’ To Promote Islam On January 22 In State Capitol Rotunda.

Muslims from all over Kentucky will tour the building on January 22, meet with legislators, pray in the Rotunda, and receive training on how to advocate for issues affecting the Muslim community.
[.]
Waheeda Muhammad, chair of the Kentucky chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations, said one of the goals of the event is to clear up misconceptions about the Islamic faith.

    “One thing that really helps is for people to know a Muslim one-on-one, and that’s part of encouraging Muslims to get out, to be involved in society, because if people know you personally, that’s their image of Islam,” Muhammad told WKU Public Radio.

She says the event will encourage Muslims to get involved in government, including running for office.

Muslim visitors also plan to advocate for certain legislation, including stronger anti-bullying laws.  The group has invited Governor Andy Beshear to meet with them.  Muhammad says Muslim Day at the State Capitol is not government-sanctioned and no taxpayer funds are being used.  She hopes it will become an annual event.

Minneapolis residents raise concerns about Uptown Mall renovation. Oh, no! The Patchouli-Birkenstock Crowd is Triggered!

A fine example of Full Circle Liberalism, aka Socialism 360°. How I love stories like these...

FOX 9 KMSP: Minneapolis residents raise concern about Uptown Mall renovation:

Some possible changes could be coming to an age-old part of Uptown Minneapolis. Plans from the Park Board could potentially reduce the amount of parking on part of the plaza.
[.]
For more than a century, the Uptown Mall has been a shady oasis in one of the most densely-populated neighborhoods in the city.

Some neighbors worry possible changes to the park could cause it to lose its character.

“This is like going to St. Anthony Main and ripping up all the bricks,” said Uptown resident Steven Taylor. “Uptown doesn’t want that.”

Last spring, the Park Board released a new design to update the median between Hennepin Avenue and East lake of the Isles Parkway that would include a new plaza and play area by the Walker Library, a connection to the Midtown Greenway and community and rain gardens.

Park Board officials say a Community Advisory Committee is also considering getting rid of the streets in the two blocks closest to Lake of the Isles and turning them into green space for multi-use fields and a sand volleyball court.

“It was quite shocking for the community to hear about,” said East Isles Residents Assocation Ellen Van Iwaarden. (GASP! The Progs were shocked! Triggered! They didn't see it coming. - DD)

The East Isles Residents Association says neighbors are split on the possible plans for the park.

“There are some people who are absolutely for it, who think we shouldn’t be designing our parks around cars,” Van Iwaarden said. “But there are many who live in the apartments and park there.”

Nobody wants to tarnish one of the city’s hidden gems.

“I’m not opposed to getting rid of parking for the right reasons,” Taylor said. “I don’t think volleyball courts is the right reasons [sic].”

Understand this geographic area is a textbook definition of Progressivism.

Some folks in the area worry this renovation may cause the area to lose its character. WELCOME to what you've pushed on everyone else, everywhere else.  How does it feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel?

Renovation? Heck yes, DO IT! I have suggestions:

* Add a 24/7 bus line or light rail service.
* Add several pedestrian bridges, whether they're needed or not.
* A couple of amphitheaters. Why have only one?
* Since Minneapolis has a large homeless population, add several affordable-housing-in-a-box projects. Make them real tall and narrow buildings with the first level being zoned for commercial use. Dig deep underground parking facilities that will take years to complete. The benefits outweigh any short-term delays, don't they?
* Eliminate all vehicles and build several lanes for bicycles, skateboarding, scooters, roller-blading and unicorns.
* Design a costly, grand, obtuse, central-theme artwork. Maybe a gigantic, Plexiglas nonagon filled with liquid that glows or changes colors similar to a lava-lamp!
* Designate the renovated area a Gun Free Zone so no crime or vandalism will occur there, ever.
* Make all activities free; no-charge. Everything is Free! Always!

How is all this funded and paid for? Why ask such an unrelated and offensive question. Are you some Fascist Luddite who hates progress and development?

See, in the long run, the above will save so much money, it will pay for itself. A government or quasi-government bureaucracy that accurately predicts future tax revenue will say so, and projected revenue and savings are never wrong. Any financial burden by - say, taxpayers - will be short-lived. Besides, taxpayers have LOTS of money. Lots and Lots of it.

The benefits of renovating the Uptown Mall area? Beneficial to everyone, it will be a happy place where everyone is welcome.

Somewhere, hidden in all this renovation plan, there must be the belief that promotes this plan fights global warming global cooling climate change. How could anyone be against that?

DO IT! Make the renovation happen. Make the plan Grand and Bold! I'm all for it!

Full Circle Liberalism hits and so many NIMBYS start whining? This is the mystery of life. It's time to do your part, Uptown. Cars and parking are bad for the environment. Volleyball courts and green spaces are better for the environment!

Losing character and tarnishing gems, hidden or otherwise, is what Liberalism does best. Somehow, Liberals dislike living with it, though they expect - née demand - it from others.

We should probably doxx everyone who even slightly voices any opposition to this planned Uptown renovation.

Tucker Carlson on Ilhan Omar

Watch the Tucker Carlson Show on FOX tonight, and last night (July 9), for a real look at into who DEM Ilhan Omar really is. Issues discussed include tax fraud, tax evasion, a history of anti-American statements, immigration scam (marrying her brother), blatant anti-semitism and too many others to list.

Carlson stated that Omar is lobbying hard to get his show pulled from FOX. Carlson replied, "that's not going to happen," because, "this is FOX."

Omar dislikes what is being said about her by Carlson. The truth hurts, eh Ilhan? She wants her free speech rights protected, but not the free speech of others. Huh. We can't help but ask from where she gets these crazy ideas.

UPDATE: Support the following companies that advertise during the Tucker Carlson program:

CAIR files complaint regarding 2018 incident at Minnehaha Regional Park.

KSTP: CAIR announces plans to file complaint in regard to 2018 Minnehaha Regional Park incident.

The Council on American–Islamic Relations-Minnesota announced Friday that it is filing a complaint with the Department of Human Rights against the Minneapolis Parks and Rec Board in relation to an inaccurate 911 call at Minnehaha Regional Park in July 2018 that resulted in four innocent Somali American youths in handcuffs.

The organization also announced it would be filing a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Administration Data Practices Office.

"We are moving forward with this case because we believe the Minneapolis Park Board Police is acting in bad faith," Jaylani Hussein, director of CAIR-Minnesota, said during a press conference Friday.
[.]
"We believe that this incident could have been dealt with much different response and due care," Hussein said. "We have reached out and done our part to make sure we work with Minneapolis Park Board in order to understand the full scope of the incident and to come to a solution. But we believe since this incident ... Minneapolis Park Board has refused to provide information about this incident and other incidents that have happened that are very similar."

The MPRB issued a statement in response Friday afternoon:

"The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board has responded to CAIR's data requests and has provided them with the public data we can legally provide," it read. "We will review and respond timely to any complaints CAIR files with any federal, state or local agency."

According to police, a 911 caller on July 10, 2018, reported four males holding knives and sticks at the park. The caller said one suspect said he had a gun in his backpack and that the suspects were assaulting the caller's boyfriend.

I have a few questions. What additional information does CAIR feel it is entitled to? Spell it out. What do you believe is being hidden or kept from you?

With the statement: "We believe that this incident could have been dealt with much different response and due care." Okay, fine. Please explain in detail, and with examples, what and how you "believe" the procedure and process should be handled.

CAIR, please explain what you "believe" the process should be when police receive a 911 call like the one described above and when they arrive on-scene, observing unknown and potential threats? Should the cops offer potential suspects candy and donuts and have a cheerful chat with people who may be armed and dangerous? How are the police supposed to know who does and who doesn't present a threat?

This "issue" will go away, I imagine, after the City of Minneapolis ends up paying CAIR a nice chunk of money and the idiot Soy Boy-child Mayor Jacob Frey (Super Lib) orders more "sensitivity training" for those working in the dangerous, and often fatal, field of law enforcement.

Pelosi critical of Trump tweet of Ilhan Omar's, "some people did something."

AP via Yahoo "news": Nancy Pelosi calls for President Trump to delete Omar tweet.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday she has taken steps to ensure the safety of Rep. Ilhan Omar after President Donald Trump's retweet of a video that purports to show the Minnesota Democrat being dismissive of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The California Democrat also called on Trump to take down the video. Soon after her public request, the video was no longer pinned atop Trump's Twitter feed, but it was not deleted.

"Purports..." ?

"CAIR was founded after 9/11." 

An interesting comment for Omar to make as The North American Muslim Resource Guide itself states CAIR was founded in 1994:

"Some guy did something in New Zealand" a few weeks ago, too.

Muslim Group Sues Maryland over "No Boycott of Israel" Executive Order

Arab News: Maryland’s ban on contracting with businesses that boycott Israel tramples on the First Amendment rights of a software engineer who advocates for Palestinians, a Muslim civil rights group claims.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ federal lawsuit seeks to block the state from enforcing an executive order that Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan signed in October 2017.

The order requires contractors to certify in writing that they don’t boycott Israel. The group’s suit claims the order has an unconstitutional chilling effect on First Amendment-protected political advocacy supporting Palestine.

CAIR says 25 other states have enacted measures similar to Maryland’s, through legislation or executive orders. CAIR attorney Gadeir Abbas said other federal lawsuits have challenged measures in Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas and Texas.
[.]
In December, the Arkansas Times weekly newspaper sued to block a similar measure. That state law, which took effect in August 2017, requires contractors to reduce their fees by 20 percent if they don’t sign a pledge not to boycott Israel.

Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge’s office argued that boycotting Israel is not activity protected by the First Amendment.

“It is neither speech, nor is it conduct that is inherently expressive, nor associational activity that is afforded constitutional protection,” wrote attorneys representing Rutledge’s office.

These suits filed by CAIR (which I refer to as standing for "Can't Antagonize Islamic Radicals") will be interesting to monitor.

I don't have a lot of knowledge of how government-private business contracting works. I do know a government institution can require certain conditions be met for certain employers, like minority and women-owned companies. And, believe it or not, I understand the essence of CAIR's lawsuit. But to claim some type of disadvantage, or discrimination by using the First Amendment to support their basis? I'm not an attorney or a judge, but this issue seems to fall under contractual law. If you dislike the terms of a contract, don't sign it. I don't see the slightest foundation for CAIR's argument based under Freedom of Speech. Governments discriminate every day against every one. CAIR needs to learn this.
