Custodian of U.S. mosques promotes slaying Americans
The custodian of most of the major mosques in America acts as a front for the radical Muslim Brotherhood in America, and publishes and distributes Islamic literature that exhorts Muslims to kill any Westerners who get in the way of spreading Islam, WND has learned.
No political system or material power should put hindrances in the way of preaching Islam. If someone does this, then it is the duty of Islam to fight him until either he is killed or until he declares his submission, asserts an Islamic publication distributed by the North American Islamic Trust.

What Is This? U.S. Secret Service Believe Threat To President's Life More Dangerous From 'Right Wing Extremists' Like Tea Party. Birthers or 9/11 Truthers
In the 13 months that Barack Obama has been the occupant of the Oval Office he has been the subject of an extraordinary outpouring of emotion from the American electorate. At the start it was largely adulatory, though more recently the adoration has been drowned out by a cacophony of criticism from tea party activists, birthers, global-warming deniers and viewers of Fox News. At the same time, largely hidden from view, there has been a layer of antagonism towards Obama that lies well beyond the boundaries of reasonable political debate. (3/8/2010)

Must Read! A Guide to the 9/11 Whistleblowers You Never Knew: Courageous insiders, gagged, hounded and ignored
When losing a discussion on the facts of 9/11, a so-called 9/11 debunker will often rely on an old canard to prove that 9/11 could not have been an inside job: So many people want their quarter hour of fame that even the Men in Black couldn't squelch the squealers from spilling the beans, write self-satisfied defenders of the government story. According to the logic of this argument, if there are no 9/11 whistleblowers then 9/11 was not an inside job.
So what if there are 9/11 whistleblowers? What if these whistleblowers come from every level of government and private industry, individuals who have even had their cases vindicated by internal government reports? As you are about to see, there are numerous such whistleblowers and each one is a thorn in the side of those who want to pretend that the 9/11 Commission represents the sum total of knowledge on the 9/11 attacks.
