Stealth Jihad—Muslims Demand that Schools in NY City Observe Muslim Holidays

Slowly but surely Islam has been gaining ground in America. New York City is caving in to Muslims’ demands for building a Grand Mosque next to Ground Zero—The Cordoba House. Building mosques on sacred grounds is what Islam has always done by asserting its supremacy. Throughout history and starting with Muhammad, Muslims converted other defeated religions’ places of worship into mosques. They transformed that particular practice into a tradition by letting their defeated enemies digest the fact that Islam had supplanted their former religion and their former culture. This practice began with the pagan pantheon of the Ka’aba, in Mecca, then continued with thousands of churches and synagogues. One of the earliest and most famous examples was in Damascus, where in the year 705, Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik took the church of St. John from the Christians and had it rebuilt as a mosque, which is now known as Umayyad Mosque. In 1453, they converted the famous Hagia Sophia Cathedral in Constantinople into a mosque, immediately after capturing the city and changing its name to Istanbul. To make the buildings fit for a mosque, the Turks destroyed the icons, plundering their precious plating in the process, and defaced the frescoes.

California Should Lead the Nation in Decriminalization of Marijuana

With California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger now open to the idea of legalizing marijuana and assemblyman Tom Ammiano (Democrat-San Francisco) sponsoring a bill for its legalization, California may be close to setting a nationwide trend for full legalization. The Assembly Bill 390 would legalize marijuana for adults over 21, despite the fact that it is still outlawed by federal law. It will not just make it legal to consume and possess but also to sell and grow. However, there would be a $5,000 fee followed by a $2,500 annual renewal fee to grow marijuana. The 10th Amendment grants the power to the state, and it can be taken to the federal courts if the DEA decides to interfere.

It is projected to generate $1.3 billion annually in tax revenue to relieve the state’s massive budget deficit. This is not including the revenue it would save in tax dollars used for incarceration, court and law enforcement.  The war on drugs costs the state $9.6 billion annually.  If this bill passes, California will be the first in the nation to legalize marijuana.
