Tiger in the room
| In the Muslim Brotherhood explanatory memorandum for its strategic objectives in North America we read: |  |
|
| The Ikhwan [brothers] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions. | ||
This memorandum was approved by the Muslim Brotherhood Shura Council, and the U.S. Justice Department affirmed its authenticity when it entered the memorandum as evidence in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial.
Think about what this memorandum is saying.
|
In other words, the Muslim Brotherhood believes that by using “information warfare” it can recruit Westerners to assist it in toppling Western civilization.
And the Muslim Brotherhood has been very successful at doing this.
Who are these enablers?
| They include those who refuse to acknowledge jihadist ideology as the driving force behind Islamic terrorism. Those who believe deceptive platitudes offered by groups like CAIR, ISNA, MPAC and ICNA. Those who actively work to silence critics of radical Islam by calling them “Islamophobes.” |
 Lt. Col. Dooley |
When General Martin Dempsey publicly dressed down Lt. Colonel Matthew Dooley, who was teaching about the threat of Islamic terrorism at the National Defense University, Dempsey became a poster child for the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal of tearing us down “by our own hands.”
ACT! for America is aggressively fighting back against the Muslim Brotherhood’s “civilization jihad.”

| The Muslim Brotherhood has already proven in Europe how successful its information warfare strategy can be. Just ask people like Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Woolf, ACT! for America chapter leader in Austria, who was convicted of using “hate speech.” European leaders doing the bidding of the Muslim Brotherhood are tearing down their countries by their own hands! |

Above the law?
‘WE ARE ABOVE THE LAW OF THE LAND’
Muslim leader’s stunning claim at Texas rally for Islam
Muslims living in America should not be bound by U.S. law, according to a leader of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who delivered the controversial message to a crowd at a Muslim rally in Austin, Texas.
“If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land,” said Mustafa Carroll, executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth CAIR branch.
The rally in Austin was part of a nationwide effort to hold “Muslim Capitol Day” events.
According to the event website, Muslims from around Texas went to the capitol to “promote civic and political activism throughout the wider Muslim community.”
The organizers said one major issue discussed “was the recent House and Senate bill proposals involving the implementation of ‘anti-Shariah’ legislation, where the First Amendment rights and freedoms of Muslims would ultimately be hindered.”
Critics argue Shariah prohibits other faiths from free exercise of religion when enforced, giving freedom only to Muslims.
Carroll’s statement was similar to a statement allegedly made by CAIR co-founder and former chairman Omar M. Ahmad. He was paraphrased by a reporter saying, “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant” and the Quran “should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”
Carroll began joking about the widespread concern about Shariah, the religious code that governs Muslim civil and political life.
“We tried to downplay Shariah, because we didn’t want to give the other side any excitement for being here,” he said.
He dismissed critics who express concern about Shariah, calling them “anti-foreign.”
“When you even say the word Shariah, people get nervous. We are not advocating for Shariah. We are not trying to make Shariah the law of the land,” he said.
Carroll claimed Muslims only want the “right to practice our faith.”
But he also said, “If you understand Shariah, the foundation of our faith … how we treat our neighbor, how we treat our parents … how we participate in society, all of that is part of Shariah.”
Carroll is on record defending Hamas, classified by the U.S. as a terrorist group.
“I think you can only blame Hamas for so long. It takes two to tango. And I think, you know, that what we’ve heard for a number of years is this terrorist, terrorist, terrorist, terrorist, Hamas, Hamas, Hamas, was not just Hamas,” he’s said.
At CAIR’s Dallas banquet in 2007, Carroll denied the Quran is the source of terrorism.
“Look at the true cause of the terrorism. It’s not somebody is reading a book, reading a Quran, and then go out and say, ‘Well, the Quran told me to blow this up. I’m gonna blow it up.’ The cause, the root cause of terrorism is oppression. The root cause of terrorism is oppression.”

I understand there is a recession raging at the moment, but the campaign to ensure our children’s future and our nation’s survival continues regardless!
Every penny generously donated will be wisely spent on our campaigns!
Taking good photographs
Taking good Photographs in simple terms
Getting sharp images:
For best results use a sturdy tripod and lock-up your mirror prior to clicking the shutter with a remote release (or use the shutter release timer).
If you need to hand hold, ensure that the shutter speed is fast enough; this will depend on your personal ability to hold the camera steady, the focal length of the lens and whether or not the lens / camera has image stability built in.
Choose an appropriate aperture for the depth of field that you require; a small aperture (high f number) for wide depth of field (typical for landscapes) or a large aperture (small f number) for shallow depth of field (typical for portraiture). To maximise the depth of field achieved for a given aperture when taking landscape photos, focus approximately one third of the way into the scene.
Buy the best quality lenses that you can afford. A consumer camera body with a high quality lens will obtain better quality images than a pro camera body with a consumer spec kit lens; spend wisely!
Composition:
There are various ‘rules’ for helping with composition, the most commonly used being the rule of thirds; divide the scene through your lens into three both vertically and horizontally giving four points of intersection; place the most important element on one of these intersection points.
Remember that rules are there to be broken and achieving good balance in an image can be more important than force fitting some arbitrary rules!
Crop your image to a shape that gives most impact; letter box, square etc.
Light:
Remember it is light that you are recording on the sensor / film and digital cameras and film have a limit to the range from darkest to brightest that they can record; exceed this and you will have either blocked up shadows or burned out highlights.
Landscape photographers use graduated Neutral Density filters to darken the sky so that all tones can be captured.
The light at and around sun rise and sun set is much warmer than at mid day and shadows are much longer resulting in much more pleasing images, particularly for landscape photography. That said, there are times when the soft light pre-dawn, post sunrise, or on an overcast or misty day is the perfect light for the subject. For each subject consider what will work best and the angle that you will make the image; also consider B&W / mono as days with dull colour can make great B&W images.
Post Processing:
There is nothing new about post processing, it is not something that was invented for digital photography; it is much cleaner digitally, and you have the ability to click ‘undo’ but the concept of manipulating imagery goes back a long way with all serious darkroom printers at least doing a little dodging and burning to bring out the best in their prints.
Get as much right in camera and try not to over-do the processing; a good image can be ruined whilst a poor image cannot be turned into a good image!
Improving your skills:
One great way of improving your skills is to join a local camera club where you will learn from the experienced members.
Alternatively (or in addition to joining a camera club), enrol onto a photography course.
Most importantly, get out with your camera and practice!
Examples:

Welfare
Britain’s broken welfare system was exposed again after Sharon Minkin claimed that getting a job would mean forfeiting a host of cushy entitlements.
The divorcee lives in a three-bedroom, semi-detached house in the market town of St Albans, Herts.
Her rented home is equipped with a farmhouse-style kitchen, giant flat-screen TV, large garden, piano and wooden floors.
From October, her catalogue of taxpayer-funded handouts will total £3,905-a-month or a staggering £46,860-a-year.
After working out the maths, the former City worker said joining Britain’s workforce would leave her and her three children, aged 14, 18 and 19, much worse off.
To enjoy the life she currently leads only a job paying £70,000-a-year before tax would be worth taking.
Migration.
Figures released by the European Commission showed that 566,000 migrants arrived in Britain in 2011 alone, the latest available statistic.
It is the highest number in Europe and represents almost 20 per cent of migration from outside and inside the European Union.
Britain is still most popular for those travelling from beyond Europe. And the UK is second only to Germany for migration within the EU.
Between 1066 and 1950 England only had a million migrants. In the 1950s the Government opened the door to immigrants from commonwealth countries and former British colony‘s.
The UKBA not fit for purpose.
The UK Border Agency is to be abolished with its work returning to the Home Office, Theresa May has announced.
The home secretary told MPs “its performance was not good enough”.
The UK Border Agency was formed in 2008 as an arms-length agency of the Home Office but Mrs May said this had led to a “secretive culture”.
It will now be split into parts focusing on the visa system and on immigration law enforcement. Both parts will report directly to ministers.
It is the second time the UK Border Agency has been split in just over a year.
International law requires refugees to seek asylum in the first safe country they enter. So why are we letting economic migrants travel half way round the world to enter Britain.
It is obvious if you live on £5 a day in Africa but can get more on welfare in the UK and a nice house to live in you will try to get to the UK and claim asylum.
Forced to eat Halal
Larkswood Primary School, Chingford, where only 10% of pupils are Muslim, is to switch to serving only halal meat beginning in mid-April.
Non-Muslim pupils? No choice, if they want meat then they’re getting meat which is slaughtered in the barbaric halal fashion and has Muslim prayers said over it.
Parents have, quite understandably, reacted with fury.
Tina Hill, whose 8 year old son attends the school, is quoted by local media saying that:
“Why should their views be forced on us? I think it’s disgusting. I do not want my child eating food which has been slaughtered in this way and blessed.
“I am so angry about it I would consider taking my son out of Larkswood.”
Other parents have stated that they were strongly against the plans but feared being branded as racist if they spoke out.
Comments from un-named parents include “I think it’s unfair when it’s only a small minority of the school who are Muslim” and “I am very angry about it and I will stop my child having hot school dinners if they do go ahead with this. I’ll give him a packed lunch instead.”
Headteacher Lynne Harrowell, totally dismissing the concern of non-Muslim parents, responded with the idiot statement that:
“Most of New Zealand lamb is Halal, as is the meat in many restaurants and fast food places like KFC. Many people are very aware that most of us eat Halal meat.”
That makes it fine then, non-Muslims should just eat halal and shut up moaning then!
Sadly that attitude is prevalent among officialdom – Muslims must get what they demand, non-Muslims can just like it or lump it.
Muslims get a choice, they get what they want – we get no choice.
Coming soon to a school near you. It won’t be long before halal is the only option wherever our children eat.
The Islamification of Britain continues, our children are to be forced to eat halal in school after school or go without.
Anyone concerned at halal food being forced on non-Muslim children can contact Larkswood Primary School on:
020 8529 4979 (8.30 to 16.30 Monday to Friday)
school@larkswoodprimary.waltham.sch.uk
Please remember to be polite and courteous at all times should you choose to contact the school.
