THE REASON WHY WE MUST STOP OBAMA AND DEPORT ALL MUSLMS
Michelle Bachmann: Obama Will Grant Executive Amnesty to Terrorists in US
(Breitbart) – Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) told Breitbart News at
the Value Voters Summit hosted by the Family Research Council that
President Barack Obama’s planned executive amnesty is the biggest story
that the mainstream media has ignored this year.
“[Seeking] amnesty for illegal aliens is the number one achievement of the president’s second term,” Bachmann said in an interview that aired on Breitbart News Saturday on Sirius XM Patriot Channel 125.
“He’s planning to get it and he’s planning to jam it down the throats of the American people. It’s a plate of dog food to do this,” Bachmann said. “It’s not what the American people want—they’re going to react—which is why the president is taking the coward’s way out and he’s waiting until after the election. The media, unfortunately, is giving the president a big assist because you don’t hear them pounding on the table saying ‘Mr. President, Mr. President, what are you doing?’”
FAX BLAST SPECIAL: Impeach Obama NOW!
“They’re completely leaving the fight,” she continued. “So the American people are being completely dis-served because the president has already announced what he’s going to do. He’s going to give full-scale amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, which by the way would include terrorists who are currently in this country who came in illegally. This is a travesty of historic proportions and the president of the United States will completely destroy his presidency if he does it—but he doesn’t care. All he cares about is the outcome, achieving his radical political ends, which is why we got to do everything we can despite the media not paying attention to this issue we need to focus on it.”
Bachmann, who said she thinks “it’s great” Attorney General Eric Holder is resigning from office at long last—and “should have resigned a long time ago”—backed a strategy by Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) that all U.S. Senators should vote against any Attorney General nominee if that nominee does not oppose Obama’s planned executive amnesty.
“He’s a thousand percent right,” Bachmann said of Sessions’ strategy. “The best senator that we have in the U.S. Senate on the issue of illegal immigration is Jeff Sessions. Bar none. He has led the way in the Senate and actually myself and Congressman Steve King were working with him in the week leading up to the great legislation we got through the House of Representatives. We actually got decent legislation and in part it’s because of the work we did with Sen. Jeff Sessions.”
The legislation Bachmann is referring to were two separate bills the House passed right before August recess. The first toughened immigration asylum restrictions and gave resources to the federal government to halt the border crisis, and the second one defunded the president’s plans for an executive amnesty making it illegal for him to use taxpayer resources to grant illegal aliens work permits or other documents. As the House debated and passed those bills—the first time the Republican Party has been almost universally united against amnesty since the 2012 election—House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi lost control of herself and twice waved her finger in the face of GOP Rep. Tom Marino of Pennsylvania, chasing him across the House floor.
“They [the Democrats] went apoplectic,” Bachmann said. “She [Pelosi] actually chased after a Republican in Congress. She was completely unhinged because her policy is unhinged to give blanket amnesty to people who break our laws to come into the United States. We have a huge problem with amnesty for illegal aliens—it’s a national security risk.”
“It means taking away millions of jobs from American citizens and it further means lowering of wages and benefit packages for Americans,” she continued. “We’re seeing a plumping up of the welfare rolls well into the future. Why would we do this? Why would we add to our welfare rolls? Why would we pull away good jobs from Americans? Why would we lower their wages? That’s why the American people are outraged over illegal immigration, and I really think it is a traitorous act to not bring attention to the fact that the president has announced he is going to grant blanket amnesty and the media is completely ignoring the story. It’s the biggest story of this year other than the tragedy with the Islamic State and Islamic jihad.”

TO LATE NOW THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS ISLAM IS JUST KILLING EVERY ONE TO LATE TO SAVE YOUR ASS WE ARE ALL AWAKE TO ISLAM
Muslim Scholars Release Open Letter To Islamic State Meticulously Blasting Its Ideology
Posted:
Updated:
Relying heavily on the Quran, the 18-page letter released Wednesday (Sept. 24) picks apart the extremist ideology of the militants who have left a wake of brutal death and destruction in their bid to establish a transnational Islamic state in Iraq and Syria.
Even translated into English, the letter will still sound alien to most Americans, said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council of American-Islamic Relations, who released it in Washington with 10 other American Muslim religious and civil rights leaders.
“The letter is written in Arabic. It is using heavy classical religious texts and classical religious scholars that ISIS has used to mobilize young people to join its forces,” said Awad, using one of the acronyms for the group. “This letter is not meant for a liberal audience.”
Even mainstream Muslims, he said, may find it difficult to understand.
Awad said its aim is to offer a comprehensive Islamic refutation, “point-by-point,” to the philosophy of the Islamic State and the violence it has perpetrated. The letter’s authors include well-known religious and scholarly figures in the Muslim world, including Sheikh Shawqi Allam, the grand mufti of Egypt, and Sheikh Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, the mufti of Jerusalem and All Palestine.
A translated 24-point summary of the letter includes the following: “It is forbidden in Islam to torture”; “It is forbidden in Islam to attribute evil acts to God”; and “It is forbidden in Islam to declare people non-Muslims until he (or she) openly declares disbelief.”
This is not the first time Muslim leaders have joined to condemn the Islamic State. The chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, Aiman Mazyek, for example, last week told the nation’s Muslims that they should speak out against the “terrorist and murderers” who fight for the Islamic State and who have dragged Islam “through the mud.”
But the Muslim leaders who endorsed Wednesday’s letter called it an unprecedented refutation of the Islamic State ideology from a collaboration of religious scholars. It is addressed to the group’s self-anointed leader, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, and “the fighters and followers of the self-declared ‘Islamic State.’”
But the words “Islamic State” are in quotes, and the Muslim leaders who released the letter asked people to stop using the term, arguing that it plays into the group’s unfounded logic that it is protecting Muslim lands from non-Muslims and is resurrecting the caliphate — a state governed by a Muslim leader that once controlled vast swaths of the Middle East.
“Please stop calling them the ‘Islamic State,’ because they are not a state and they are not a religion,” said Ahmed Bedier, a Muslim and the president of United Voices of America, a nonprofit that encourages minority groups to engage in civic life.
President Obama has made a similar point, referring to the Islamic State by one of its acronyms — “the group known as ISIL” — in his speech to the United Nations earlier Wednesday. In that speech, Obama also disconnected the group from Islam.
Enumerating its atrocities — the mass rape of women, the gunning down of children, the starvation of religious minorities — Obama concluded: “No God condones this terror.”
Here is the executive summary of their letter:
1. It is forbidden in Islam to issue fatwas without all the necessary learning requirements. Even then fatwas must follow Islamic legal theory as defined in the Classical texts. It is also forbidden to cite a portion of a verse from the Qur’an—or part of a verse—to derive a ruling without looking at everything that the Qur’an and Hadith teach related to that matter. In other words, there are strict subjective and objective prerequisites for fatwas, and one cannot ‘cherry-pick’ Qur’anic verses for legal arguments without considering the entire Qur’an and Hadith.
2. It is forbidden in Islam to issue legal rulings about anything without mastery of the Arabic language.
3. It is forbidden in Islam to oversimplify Shari’ah matters and ignore established Islamic sciences.
4. It is permissible in Islam [for scholars] to differ on any matter, except those fundamentals of religion that all Muslims must know.
5. It is forbidden in Islam to ignore the reality of contemporary times when deriving legal rulings.
6. It is forbidden in Islam to kill the innocent.
7. It is forbidden in Islam to kill emissaries, ambassadors, and diplomats; hence it is forbidden to kill journalists and aid workers.
8. Jihad in Islam is defensive war. It is not permissible without the right cause, the right purpose and without the right rules of conduct.
9. It is forbidden in Islam to declare people non-Muslim unless he (or she) openly declares disbelief.
10. It is forbidden in Islam to harm or mistreat—in any way—Christians or any ‘People of the Scripture’.
11. It is obligatory to consider Yazidis as People of the Scripture.
12. The re-introduction of slavery is forbidden in Islam. It was abolished by universal consensus.
13. It is forbidden in Islam to force people to convert.
14. It is forbidden in Islam to deny women their rights.
15. It is forbidden in Islam to deny children their rights.
16. It is forbidden in Islam to enact legal punishments (hudud) without following the correct
procedures that ensure justice and mercy.
17. It is forbidden in Islam to torture people.
18. It is forbidden in Islam to disfigure the dead.
19. It is forbidden in Islam to attribute evil acts to God.
20. It is forbidden in Islam to destroy the graves and shrines of Prophets and Companions.
21. Armed insurrection is forbidden in Islam for any reason other than clear disbelief by the ruler and not allowing people to pray.
22. It is forbidden in Islam to declare a caliphate without consensus from all Muslims.
23. Loyalty to one’s nation is permissible in Islam.
24. After the death of the Prophet, Islam does not require anyone to emigrate anywhere.

There is a pattern in the media to only show the killer. In cases of Islamic terror, they rarely show honor killing victims or the faces of the victims of jihad. Perhaps because it puts a human face on the horror, and people see it less as a news story and more of a reality.
“Woman beheaded in Oklahoma attack was grandmother who just lost her home in tornado as it emerges attacker was let out of jail early,” By Jill Reilly for MailOnline, September 28, 2014

Today it was revealed that Nolen had
served less than two years of a six-year prison sentence for possession
of cocaine with intent to distribute, reports News OK.
According to records he went to prison
March 10, 2011, to start a two-year sentence for marijuana possession
and another two-year sentence for assaulting a highway patrol trooper,
the website reported.
He began his six-year sentence for cocaine
possession April 26, 2011, records show – due to plea agreements with
prosecutors, he was allowed to serve the three prison sentences at the
same time.

in Oklahoma, police said. Above, Nolen (center) apparently performs ISIS’s one-finger salute
‘Killer': The suspect reportedly beheaded Colleen Hufford, 54, and stabbed Traci Johnson, 43, before he was shot and wounded by off-duty sheriff’s deputy and firm CEO Mark Vaughan. Above, Nolen reads the Koran
Because of credits, he was able to
complete all three prison sentences in just two years and he was
released on March 22, 2013, records show.
‘Our intent was to incarcerate him much
longer than a year and 11 months,’ Oklahoma County District Attorney
David Prater said Friday.
‘This case perfectly illustrates the problem with the Department of Corrections.
‘If it’s not an 85 percent crime, we have no idea how long a person will actually spend in prison,’ Prater said.
Nolen was shot by sheriff’s deputy Mark Vaughan, who is also the firm’s CEO.
In prayer: It has emerged that Nolen (seen
praying) apparently celebrated terrorism, promoted Islam and disparaged
non-Muslims in a series of posts on Facebook in the months leading up to
the alleged killing
At work: Meanwhile, in another, he uploaded a
photo of the Joker with a message criticising the ‘wicked’ U.S. for not
helping the people of Gaza against Israel. Above, Nolen is pictured
loading food onto a shelf at work
In custody: Over a one-year period, Nolen also
apparently posted images of Osama bin Laden, deadly weaponry, a poster
reading ‘Islam will dominate the world’ and children learning how to
shoot guns
Islamic convert: Other posts saw Nolen reading the Koran, donning Muslim religious clothing (pictured), praying in a mosque and seemingly performing the one-figure salute of the Islamic State terror group
He has now regained consciousness and was interviewed by detectives Saturday.
Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said that Nolen
will be charged Monday with first-degree murder and assault and battery
with a deadly weapon and that he may also face federal charges.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for an Oklahoma
City Islamic group said Saturday that Nolen was a frequent worshipper at
a mosque the group maintains and that he remembers the suspect as ‘a
little weird.’
‘He was a nice, quiet, low-key guy,’ said
Saad Mohammed, director of information for the Islamic Society of
Greater Oklahoma City.

Heroic: Mark Vaughan, pictured above, shot the
suspect multiple times to put an end to his killing spree. Mr Vaughan is
the former president of the company, left, and a reserve sheriff’s
deputy, rig
‘He acted a little odd,’ Mohammed said, though he added that Nolen’s behavior never raised any ‘red flags.’
Mohammed said Nolen began worshipping at one of the group’s mosques in May.
He says Nolen wasn’t outgoing and that his behavior didn’t raise any red flags.
He also said that Nolen attended services
where sermons were delivered against beheadings like those committed by
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, militants, reports CBS News.
Lewis said Nolen was fired right before
the attack, and that he then drove from the building that houses the
company’s human resources department to its main distribution center.
Once inside, he attacked 54-year-old
Colleen Hufford with a knife in the center’s administrative office area,
eventually severing her head, according to police.
Nolen then repeatedly stabbed 43-year-old
Traci Johnson before Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff’s deputy and the
company’s chief operating officer, shot him, police said.
Johnson was treated for her injuries at
the University of Oklahoma Medical Center, where she was released
Saturday, said Varina Shellman, clinical coordinator for the medical
center.
Emotional: Employees and friends wait behind a tape for word of loved ones as police investigate on Thursday
Sadness: Workers stand in silence outside Vaughan Foods as they wait to leave following the grisly attack
Overwhelmed: A worker from Vaughan Foods reacts after her colleague was beheaded during the attack
Lewis said Johnson was also interviewed Saturday.
Police learned Nolen was fired for
‘numerous reasons’ involving ‘personnel issues,’ Lewis said, adding that
he didn’t know the specifics.
Police asked the FBI to help investigate
Nolen after co-workers told investigators he had recently started trying
to convert several employees to Islam. Lewis said police asked the FBI
to look into Nolen’s background because of the nature of the attack,
which followed a series of high-profile videotaped beheadings by Islamic
State militants.
Mohammed said Nolen had attended services where sermons were delivered condemning such attacks.
‘In no way, shape or form did he represent Islam in this foolish act,’ Mohammed said.
In a statement, FBI Special Agent in
Charge James E. Finch said the motive for the attack had not been
determined, but that there is no reason to believe there was a threat to
anyone else.
‘We don’t have any reason to believe there is any danger to the area,’ Lewis said.
According to Oklahoma Department of
Corrections records, Nolen served time in prison and is on probation for
assault and battery of a police officer. He also was convicted of
cocaine possession with the intent to distribute in 2011.
The records show that Nolen has what
appear to be religious tattoos, including one referencing Jesus and one
in Arabic that means ‘peace be with you.’
