Trump Is Right: CNN Reported on American Muslims Celebrating 9/11

The Spectacle Blog

So the newest controversy?

That Donald Trump said he saw clips of New Jersey Muslims celebrating 9/11. His critics pounced. But whatever he may have seen or not seen in New Jersey, CNN reported here that Muslims in New York City celebrated 9/11 — in 2009.

The clip, found on YouTube, is dated from 2009 and was apparently broadcast in the aftermath of the Ft. Hood shooting that involved U.S. Army Major Nidal Hassan, an American Muslim whose actions were celebrated by a group called “Revolution Muslim.”

The CNN segment was anchored by Anderson Cooper, with the report filed by CNN investigative reporter Drew Griffin. The focus of the story is the 96th Street Mosque, identified as “right in the heart of New York.” The report was titled “Homegrown Hate.” Griffin speaks to the Imam, who says Islam is about peace. But right outside the Mosque are Muslims — American Muslims “born and raised” in the United States — preaching hatred of the U.S. Saying that the 9/11 attacks were justified. Griffin captures all of this on camera, with members of the group professing their love for Osama bin Laden.

The FBI is monitoring them, reports Griffin — thus illustrating exactly Trump’s point today of surveillance of Mosques is hardly extreme. As the media makes yet another “firestorm” over Trump’s remarks on Muslims in America and the celebration of 9/11 by Muslims in America, CNN makes clear that yes, indeed, it happens. And was in fact happening in that report right in “the heart of New York.”

Obama Vows to Ramp Up U.S. Pillow Fight Against ISIS

Plans to Use Two Pillows Instead of One

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter 

Washington Times:

Under pressure at home and abroad to wage a more robust war against the Islamic State, Obama administration officials said Thursday that the U.S. is prepared to expand its “rules of engagement” in the fight after the extremist group’s horrific attacks in Paris.

Top national security advisers to President Obama said the U.S.-led coalition is increasing airstrikes against fuel trucks and other “high value” targets of the terrorist organization in Syria and Iraq. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said attacks on fuel conveys reflect “changed tactics.”

White House Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said surveillance flights by coalition partners have provided the U.S. with intelligence to bomb oil infrastructure of the Islamic State, also known by the acronyms ISIL and ISIS.

“We’ve increased the targeting of ISIL oil infrastructure in recent days with great success in targeting trucks that were carrying oil that brings significant amounts of revenue to ISIL......”

So while the Russians and French are taking out communication facilities, headquarters and training camps in order to chop off the head of the snake, Obama plans to use the might of the U.S. Air Force and Navy to bomb oil barrels and TRUCKS.  While your at it Barry, why not drop a few 1000 pounders and murder a couple of goat herds while your at it. Yeah, that will show um! 

The Kvetch and the Syrian Refugee Debate:

"If you've watched President Obama's various speeches and press conferences over the past few days, you can be forgiven for coming away with the distinct impression that he doesn't like you. ...

If you doubt any portion of his current refugee policy, you're 'hysterical.' Never mind that a recent poll showed 13 percent of Syrian refugees declaring a 'positive' or 'somewhat positive' view of ISIS, or that at least one of the Paris attackers apparently arrived in France posing as a refugee. Never mind the 26 charges of terrorism brought up against foreign-born individuals in the U.S. in the past year, as Sen. Jeff Sessions documented this week, or the fact that in October, FBI Director James Comey testified that our current system likely can't effectively vet Syrian refugees.

More importantly, never mind the fact that opposition to current refugee protocols doesn't necessarily translate into opposition to helping refugees altogether; had Obama led with an acknowledgment of the system's weaknesses and showed genuine concern towards fixing them, we might be in a different situation today. As it is, a new Bloomberg poll shows 53 percent of Americans opposing the current settlement plan."

Obama Plans to Drop Veto Hammer On Syrian Refugee Bill

In a statement of administration policy, the White House made it clear Obama has plans to veto the House Republican Syrian refugee bill (aka, H.R. 4038 – American SAFE Act of 2015).

"The Administration's highest priority is to ensure the safety and security of the American people. That is why refugees of all nationalities, including Syrians and Iraqis, considered for admission to the United States undergo the most rigorous and thorough security screening of anyone admitted into the United States. This legislation would introduce unnecessary and impractical requirements that would unacceptably hamper our efforts to assist some of the most vulnerable people in the world, many of whom are victims of terrorism, and would undermine our partners in the Middle East and Europe in addressing the Syrian refugee crisis....."

Any intelligent person's knows common sense and security trump one's compassion. It's obvious Barack Obama is neither interested in a secure citizenry or doing what's right for America. We are being led by a fool down a foolish road paved with the asinine actions of his making. All great civilizations fall not because of it's citizens, but because of it's leaders.
