Unfortunately, I understand this to be a hoax. If only it were otherwise and all world leaders had the guts to say this in defense of their culture, language and nationalism. Nationalists are often mistaken for xenophobes. It is not that they are afraid of other cultures and languages. It is that they prefer their own and wish to preserve them just as other cultures and languages of immigrants and illegal aliens are are well-preserved in their respective homelands.
Begin: Hoax??
" No wonder he was selected by Forbes as the most powerful person in the world. This is one time our elected leaders should pay attention to the advice of Vladimir Putin.
I would suggest that not only our leaders but every citizen of USA should pay attention to this advice. How scary is that?
It is a sad day when a Communist Leader makes more sense than our LEADERS here in the U.S.A., but here it is!
Vladimir Putin's speech - SHORTEST SPEECH EVER.
Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia:
"In Russia, live like Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, it should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, and live the life of Muslim's then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law.
"Russia does not need Muslim minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We will not tolerate disrespect of our Russian culture. We better learn from the suicides ofAmerica, England, Holland, and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Muslims are taking over those countries and they will not take over Russia. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of Sharia Law and Muslims.
"When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the Russian national interest first, observing that the Muslims Minorities Are Not Russians."
The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a five minute standing ovation."
End of hoax
Keep this to yourself, you are part of the problem!

I do hope some of these
questions get answered!!
VERY
INTERESTING!
Truly – what will be
in his presidential library?????
THE UNANSWERED MYSTERY
OF THE CENTURY!!!
Well, he's ending 8
years of living in the White House
This came from a union
guy in Chicago who didn't vote for Obama. Very interesting perspective
that I never thought of in this light!
-------------------
It will be interesting
to see what they put in his "Library” about his early years when he is out
of office. In a country where we take notice of many, many facets of our public
figures' lives, doesn't it seem odd that there's so little we know about our
current man in the WH, Barack Obama? For example, we know that Andrew Jackson's
wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery; Abe Lincoln never went
to school; Jack Kennedy wore a back brace; Harry Truman played the piano. As
Americans, we enjoy knowing details about our newsmakers, but none of us know
one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president.
We are all aware of
the lack of uncontestable birth records for Obama; that document managing has
been spectacularly successful.
There are however,
several additional oddities in Obama's history that appear to be as well
managed as the birthing issue.
One other interesting
thing... There are no birth certificates of his daughters that can be
found? It's interesting that no one who ever dated him has shown up. The
charisma that caused women to be drawn to him so strongly during his campaign,
certainly would in the normal course of events, lead some lady to come forward,
if only to garner some attention for herself. We all know about JFK's
magnetism, that McCain was no monk and quite a few details about Palin's
courtship and even her athletic prowess, Joe Biden's aneurisms are no secret;
look at Cheney and Clinton, we all know about their heart
problems. Certainly Wild Bill Clinton's exploits before and during his
White House years, were well known. That's why it's so odd that not one
lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy..." or "What a
great dancer..."
It's virtually
impossible to know anything about this fellow. Who was the best man at
his wedding? Start there. Then check groomsmen.
Then get the footage
of the graduation ceremony. Has anyone talked to the professors? It
is odd that no one is bragging that they knew him or taught him or lived with
him.
When did he meet
Michele, and how? Are there photos there? Every president gives to
the public all their photos, etc. for their library, etc. What has
he released? And who voted for him to be the most popular man in 2010?
Doesn't this make you wonder?
Ever wonder why no one
ever came forward from Obama's past saying they knew him, attended school with
him, was his friend, etc.?? Not one person has ever come forward from his past.
It certainly is very, very strange...
This should be a cause
for great concern. To those who voted for him, you may have elected an
unqualified, inexperienced shadow man. Have you seen a movie named
"The Manchurian Candidate?"
As insignificant as
each of us might be, someone with whom we went to school will remember our name
or face; someone will remember we were the clown or the dork or the brain or
the quiet one or the bully or something about us.
George Stephanopoulos
of ABC News said the same thing during the 2008 campaign. He
questions why no one has acknowledged the president was in their classroom or
ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos
also was a classmate of Obama at Columbia -- the class of 1984. He says
he never had a single class with him.
He is such a great
orator; why doesn't anyone in Obama's college class remember him? Why won't he
allow Columbia to release his records? Nobody remembers Obama at Columbia
University...
Looking for evidence
of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University
students from the period when Obama claims to have been there... but none
remembered him. Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at
Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama,
"I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know
me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia, ever."
Nobody recalls him.
Root adds that he was also, like Obama, Class of '83 Political Science, and
says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my
life, don't know anyone who ever met him. At class reunion, our
20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the
class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody
even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of
the, as we say in New York, 'the macha' who knows everybody, has yet to
find a person, a human who ever met him."
Obama's photograph
does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines
requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or
provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia.
Some other interesting
questions: Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002? It is said
there is no record of him ever taking the Bar exam. Why was Michelle's law
license inactivated by court order? We understand that was forced to
avoid fraud charges. It is circulating that according to the U.S. Census, there
is only one Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 alias
connected to him.
The Social Security
number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is reported to have never
lived. And was originally registered to another man (Thomas Louis
Wood) from Connecticut, who died in Hawaii while on vacation there. As we all
know Social Security Numbers are only issued 'once, they are not reused’ No
wonder all his records are sealed...
Please continue
sending this out. Somewhere, someone has to know SOMETHING!?!... School?
Before he reorganized Chicago? SOMETHING!!! He just seemed to burst upon
the Scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention. ANYONE??? ANYWHERE???
ANYTHING???

I think soon much is
going to come to light about this highly unqualified person who has been
president of the United States for 8 years. Soon, we will know how badly
we were all doped and duped by this imposter who has basically, with much help
from his minions, brought the greatest nation in history to its knees in ruins.
That will be his legacy. He totally destroyed the Integrity, Morals and
Christian Heritage of our once great country. Who in the hell is he? Is America
stupid or what?

Expunge References to Religious Freedom and Democracy
Libya Grand Mufti: Remove References to Democracy and Religious Freedom From School Textbooks
Libya's Grand Mufti Sheikh Sadeq Al-Ghariani. (AP)
“Libya’s Dar Al-Ifta’ (the Fatwa office), presided by Grand Mufti Sheikh Sadeq Al-Ghariani, has called on the Ministry of Education to remove passages relating to democracy and freedom of religion from school textbooks,” the article states.
The article also reports that the religious official asked for “clarification” as to why extracts of the Prophet Muhammad’s Sunnah had been deleted. The Sunnah is the second book for Islam jurisprudence after the Quran, according to scholars.
The article cited reporting from LANA, the state-approved news outlet.
Page from an Arabic textbook. (AP)
“The first was about the deletion of some of the Prophet’s Sunnah within the Islamic education syllabus, and the second addressed the two paragraphs included in the basic education textbooks about religious freedom and democracy,” stated the Libya Herald.
“The statement said, according to LANA, that the Ministry of Education had responded positively to the remarks made by the Grand Mufti and had promised to investigate the reasons behind the absence of the Sunnah texts from the Islamic education curriculum,” said the newspaper.
The statement claimed the information in the textbooks about Greek democracy might be “too detailed” for students to comprehend and that references to freedom of belief and religion should be removed because “it suggests to younger students that they could choose any religion they wanted,” according to the article.
The article said the Fatwa office warned that because of the public’s religious values the textbooks “could spark public anger.”

Dee Perez-Scott: Something you should know about Islam
“A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II,owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. 'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said,'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen.
Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories. We are told again and again by 'deluded liberals','experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just
want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true,it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectra of fanatics
rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam. The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups
throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.
The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of
about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people. The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a
warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic
murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel,and bayonet.
And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:
Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.
Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up,
because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.
Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs,Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up untilit was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts--the fanatics who threaten our way of life.
Lastly, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope that millions ,world-wide, read this and think about it, and send it on - before it's
too late.

Dee Perez-Scott: Anti-Semitism in France
Once again, the real news in France is conveniently not being reported as it should. To give you an idea of what's going on in that country where there are now between 5 and 6 million Muslims and about 600,000 Jews, here is an E-mail that came from a Jew living in France.Please read!
"Will the world say nothing - again - as it did in Hitler's time?"
He writes: "I AM A JEW -- Therefore, I am forwarding this to everyone on all my e-mail lists. I will not sit back and do nothing. Nowhere have the flames of anti-Semitism burned more furiously than in France . In Lyon , a car was rammed into a synagogue and set on fire. In Montpellier , the Jewish religious center was firebombed; so were synagogues in Strasbourgand Marseilles ; so was a Jewish school in Creteil - all recently.. A Jewish sports club in Toulouse was attacked with Molotov cocktails and on the statue of Alfred Dreyfus , in Paris , the words 'Dirty Jew' were painted. In Bondy, 15 men beat up members of a Jewish football team with sticks and metal bars. The bus that takes Jewish children to school in Aubervilliers has been attacked three times in the last 14 months. According to the Police, metropolitan Paris has seen 10 to 12 anti-Jewish incidents PER DAY in the past 30 days. Walls in Jewish neighborhoods have been defaced with slogans proclaiming 'Jews to the gas chambers' and 'Death to the Jews.' A gunman opened fire on a kosher butcher's shop (and, of course, the butcher) in Toulouse , France .. A Jewish couple in their 20's were beaten up by five men in Villeurbanne , France (the woman was pregnant) A Jewish school was broken into and vandalized in Sarcelles , France . This was just in the past week." "So I call on you, whether you are a fellow Jew, a friend, or merely a person with the capacity and desire to distinguish decency from depravity, to do - at least - these three simple things: First, care enough to stay informed. Don't ever let yourself become deluded into thinking that this is not your fight. I remind you of what Pastor Neimoller said in World War II : ' First they came for the Communists , and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
Second, boycott France and French products. Only the Arab countries are more toxically anti-Semitic and, unlike them, France exports more than just oil and hatred. So boycott their wines and their perfumes. Boycott their clothes and their foodstuffs. Boycott their movies. Definitely boycott their shores. If we are resolved we can exert amazing pressure and, whatever else we may know about the French, we most certainly know that they are like a cobweb in a hurricane in the face of well-directed pressure. Third, send this along to your family, your friends, and your co-workers. Think of all of the people of good conscience that you know and let them know that you - and the people that you care - about need their help. The number one bestselling book in France is....'

Dee Perez-Scott: Obama Strategy in Afghanistan won't work.
The Taliban Will Rule Afghanistan
Saturday, 02 Jul 2011 02:42 PM
Obama's strategy in Afghanistan won't work. He thinks he has vanquished Al Qaida but the Taliban is the real enemy and is preparing to take over the country whenever we decide to leave. The Taliban's objectives are congruent with about 95% of Al Qaida's objectives.
By Walid Phares
Before and after President Barack Obama announced the new U.S. strategy on Afghanistan, I engaged in a variety of media panels and private discussions with commentators and analysts from Arab and Muslim-majority regions of the world.
Some of the individuals I spoke with are close to the Taliban and others are critical of the Islamist militia. Contrary to the president’s assertions, all of these experts affirmed that Taliban morale is high and there is no sense of defeat among the jihadists.
The administration’s plan for Afghanistan may include reconciliation with the Taliban, but the latter have no plans that allow American gains, much less bilateral-negotiations to end the conflict.
It appears that the administration is tangoing with an imaginary partner. Neville Chamberlain’s wishful Sept. 30, 1938 proclamation, “I have returned to Germany with peace in our time,” should serve as a chilling reminder to those who are under the illusion that war is receding which in fact, it is about to escalate into global conflict.
The Taliban strategy is not obscure; most of it has been announced, publicized and is based in ideology, as has been the case with totalitarian movements throughout history. U.S. inability to grasp Taliban plans is not due to the jihadists’ highly-developed denial and deception skills, but rather to the unwillingness or inability of the U.S. and its allies to see it.
The Taliban long-term strategic plan is simple: practice taqiyya to gain terrain and power; resume jihad to eliminate the other forms of governance; and implement their version of Shariah to reverse democracy.
Al-Taqiyya
Al-Taqiyya has historical and, by some accounts, theological meaning. Originally, the term referred to a defensive tactic Shia dissidents employed to protect themselves from the wrath of the Sunni caliphate during times of war between the two sects in the early part of the seventh century.
Taqiyya sanctions deception to conceal intentions and affiliations to avoid retaliation by those in power. Today, Sunni Salafis and Shia Khomeinists have added to the meaning of the term making it an offensive tactic of war as well.
In contemporary usage, the term refers to subterfuge or dissimulation by war planners and commanders to deceive a foe regarding their ultimate aims. Used this way, Taqiyya is strategic deception, not much different that Cold War maneuvers used by the Soviets.
Negotiations take place “under the table” via third parties to lure administration officials into accepting the Taliban's offer. To the U.S. the Taliban might respond, “We will accept a deal but we can’t say so in public.” But to their constituents they would assure: “Americans think we will cut a deal with them but the only thing we’re going to cut in pieces is our commitment to them.”
The bottom line: The administration will sail out of Afghanistan on an ocean of Taliban deception. With taqiyya, the Taliban can make Washington believe that jihadi militias have mutated into a soft AKP or a stealthy Muslim Brotherhood.
Jihad
As they deceive Washington policymakers, the Taliban have no compunction about pursuing jihad until their banner flies again on the presidential palace in Kabul. Why would they do anything else?
Jihadi ideology and planted hallucinations define the movement. If they abandon these tactics they will become marginalized warlords with no political identity.
The Taliban exists, intimidates, and attracts, because they practice jihad. There is no countermeasure in U.S. strategy in Afghanistan to counter the Taliban’s jihad strategy. The U.S. wants to bestow legitimacy upon the Taliban without a counter-radicalization strategy. The new administration counterterrorism doctrine is targeted strikes against Taliban leaders and units but does not include a counterinsurgency that mobilizes the general populace against the jihadists in order to isolate them. Jihad’s most important component, indoctrination, is not on U.S. radars anymore. But ironically it is the fuel of the Taliban’s war machine.
Shariah
Clearly, the Taliban’s goal in Afghanistan is to implement Shariah on every square inch of land they bring under their authority. The imposition of Shariah is non-negotiable. “Talib ul Shari’ah” (English: “student of Shariah”) is the origin of the movement.
What this means is that communities under Taliban rule will be governed according to their laws as was the case before 2001. Women (especially girls), religious minorities, and secular political parties will be affected. Advances in liberty since the Taliban’s fall will be reversed.
Taliban’s Shariah is not just about divorce and inheritance; it is about eliminating all other forms of man-made law. The Taliban will transform the government into an emirate.
The Taliban plan for Afghanistan isn’t new; they will adapt it to the new U.S. plan for that country. It will be dominated by taqiyya, jihad, and Shariah.

To the U.S. the Taliban might respond, “We will accept a deal but we can’t say so in public.” But to their constituents they would assure: “Americans think we will cut a deal with them but the only thing we’re going to cut in pieces is our commitment to them.”
The bottom line: The administration will sail out of Afghanistan on an ocean of Taliban deception. With taqiyya, the Taliban can make Washington believe that jihadi militias have mutated into a soft AKP or a stealthy Muslim Brotherhood.
Jihad
As they deceive Washington policymakers, the Taliban have no compunction about pursuing jihad until their banner flies again on the presidential palace in Kabul. Why would they do anything else?
Jihadi ideology and planted hallucinations define the movement. If they abandon these tactics they will become marginalized warlords with no political identity.
The Taliban exists, intimidates, and attracts, because they practice jihad. There is no countermeasure in U.S. strategy in Afghanistan to counter the Taliban’s jihad strategy. The U.S. wants to bestow legitimacy upon the Taliban without a counter-radicalization strategy. The new administration counterterrorism doctrine is targeted strikes against Taliban leaders and units but does not include a counterinsurgency that mobilizes the general populace against the jihadists in order to isolate them. Jihad’s most important component, indoctrination, is not on U.S. radars anymore. But ironically it is the fuel of the Taliban’s war machine.
Shariah
Clearly, the Taliban’s goal in Afghanistan is to implement Shariah on every square inch of land they bring under their authority. The imposition of Shariah is non-negotiable. “Talib ul Shari’ah” (English: “student of Shariah”) is the origin of the movement.
What this means is that communities under Taliban rule will be governed according to their laws as was the case before 2001. Women (especially girls), religious minorities, and secular political parties will be affected. Advances in liberty since the Taliban’s fall will be reversed.
Taliban’s Shariah is not just about divorce and inheritance; it is about eliminating all other forms of man-made law. The Taliban will transform the government into an emirate.
The Taliban plan for Afghanistan isn’t new; they will adapt it to the new U.S. plan for that country. It will be dominated by taqiyya, jihad, and Shariah.
