CAIR Slapped Down Again - FBI "Hate Crime" Data Proves Islamophobia Almost Entirely Nonexistent
By WILLIAM MAYER and BEILA RABINOWITZ
San Francisco, CA - The FBI has just today released its annual statistical audit of "hate crimes," covering the 2007 calendar year.
The category of hate crime is a relative newcomer to a database which heretofore concentrated on hard data relating to the incidence of unambiguous lawbreaking activity, crimes such as murder, theft and rape. This study is part of the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program [UCR], a nationwide cooperative survey that encompasses 17,000 American cities and has been in effect since 1930, though not in this specific format. |

Reclaiming Islam
By Jamie Glazov
Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Raheel Raza, a leading Muslim reformer, award winning writer, professional speaker, diversity consultant, documentary film maker and interfaith advocate. She is the author of Their Jihad . . . Not My Jihad. Visit her site at RaheelRaza.com.
FP: Raheel Raza, welcome to Frontpage Interview.
Raza: Thank you
FP: First, tell us a little bit about your own religious and political journey. Why, for instance, have you ended up being a moderate and not an extremist Muslim? Why you do not veil yourself etc?
Raza: I was born into a Muslim family in Pakistan where I became a Muslim by rote -- I.e. without really understanding what the faith stands for and what our prayers mean because they are in Arabic which is not my first language. I grew up in a culture where women were supposed to be seen and not heard so questioning was not encouraged. However I was a rebel since an early age and did question the status quo but luckily for them, left Pakistan. |

Five former HLF officials are on trial for illegally routing millions of dollars in donations to Hamas through a series of Palestinian charities, known as zakat committees, that prosecutors say are controlled by the terrorist group. |

Closing arguments in terrorism financing case present different pictures of Holy Land Foundation
By JASON TRAHAN / The Dallas Morning News
Charity or terrorist front.
These were the competing labels applied to the Holy Land Foundation Monday as lawyers began making their closing arguments to jurors, who will soon begin deliberations on two months of testimony and more than 500 pieces of evidence.
Prosecutor Barry Jonas began his argument Monday by telling jurors that their job is to determine if five defendants broke U.S. law by funneling more than $12 million to Hamas. The terrorism financing case is not, he said, a referendum on decades of conflict in the Middle East. |
