SWISS INTOLERANCE ON DISPLAY
Apparently the Swiss voted to ban the construction of minarets on Islamic masjids. This is completely unjustifiable and has no plausible explanation other than bigotry and hatred. When the populous of a country sets out to restrict and oppress the free expression of one religion and one religion only that is intolerable, unacceptable and completely inexcusable. Just as Muslims must tolerate other religions and their beliefs and learn to assimilate and live in non-Muslim countries it is also incumbent upon non-Muslim countries to treat Muslims with respect. This Swiss movement to ban minarets by popular vote is simply the latest outrage in an ongoing campaign by some in Switzerland to spread Islamophobia which included the following signs of tolerance: campaign posters showing white sheep kicking a black sheep off the Swiss flag and another with brown hands grabbing eagerly for Swiss passports. Also apparently not simply content with voting for Islamophobic constitutional amendments some vandal decided to desecrate the main masjid in Geneva last Thursday. Switzerland used to play on its image of tolerance apparently this image was merely a smoke screen masking the ugly face of intolerance.
It is tempting for people who do not like Islam for a litany of reasons to simply dismiss this as irrelevant or inconsequential. However, it is important to remember that basic disregard for the freedoms of any individual is a dangerous erosion of the freedoms of all people. If a majority of people can get together and vote away fundamental rights based on whims and passing fancy then it might not be long before all religious freedoms are crushed under the boot of secular disdain. Religious freedom is a fundamental human right guaranteed to us by the grace of God not to be taken lightly or abridged, abbreviated or amended by the laws of mere men.

BILLS SQUISH THE FISH AT HOME
I am loving this holiday weekend lots of good food, eating chocolate cake, the Sabres end their losing streak with two wins and the Bills win! The Bills did not just win they ended up routing the Dolphins in the fourth quarter outscoring the Dolphins 24-0 to come from seven down and win 31-14. I think it is hilarious that everyone doubted the Bills and predicted an ugly blowout but the Bills came up big at home and for the first time this season finished strong in the fourth quarter. T.O. is heating up and has had two strong g ames in a row. Since firing Dick Jauron the Bills have seemed fresher and more dangerous their offense is opening up and they are actually competing in games so far since Jauron left we are 1-1 not bad and have been competitive in the game we lost. Life has never felt so good at 4-7 as I felt today eating a giant slice of triple chocolate cake and watching highlights of the Bills game. For at least one weekend, life is good again in Orchard Park, New York. GO BILLS!

I give thanks for JIM KELLY
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone across the world! I hope that this holiday you are with loved ones enjoying what Allah has provided for his creations. Also I would like to take the time to say thank you to Jim Kelly, former quarterback of the Buffalo Bills for being amazing and all the memories past and present that he created for Bills fan. Mr. Kelly in his wisdom has issued the following proclamation regarding the state of affairs in Orchard Park, NY: To win Buffalo needs a franchise quarterback and Trent Edwards has to go! Mr. Kelly I could not agree more and I am hoping that in the 2010 draft the Bills can somehow procure Tim Tebow. This could prove tricky considering how many terrible teams are in the NFL this season. I am not necessarily opposed to the Bills lose their remaining games if it will mean they can draft a franchise quarterback like Tim Tebow. Only one major problem with Tebow he is a Florida Gator and I hate the Florida Gators! However, the Bills last great QB was also from a Florida college Jim Kelly attended the University of Miami. Maybe there is some magic in Florida QBs playing in BUFFALO lets hope so and let’s hope the Bills draft Tebow and return to prominence.

Best Buy Ad Uproar
Apparently Best Buy has issued an advert which wishes Muslims a happy Eid Al-Adha and people are freaking out and criticizing Best Buy for this advert. This advert was released before Eid Al-Adha which begins the day after Thanksgiving. The uproar over this advert on both sides is irrelevant and unnecessary for various reasons. First of all, Best Buy is a business and made a decision to try to capitalize on the tendency of Muslims to give gifts to each other on Eid Al-Adha by advertising their wares and acknowledging the holiday. Secondly, as a business Best Buy can advertise in any manner they deem appropriate and finally what is wrong with acknowledging various holidays. People are griping that Best Buy does not acknowledge Christmas in its adverts I am not sure if this is true or not. However, if Best Buy is actively dissing Christians in a predominantly Christian nation then Best Buy is making a big mistake from an economic stand point. Bottom line Best Buy acknowledges Muslims and our holidays which are positive but overall irrelevant and unimportant Eid Al-Adha has nothing to do with Best Buy or consumerism. Eid Al-Adha is a holiday celebrated by Muslims (including the Druze) worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God. It is time to celebrate and share faith and time with family so let’s focus on the real spirit of the holidays and drop the partisan sniping and backstabbing.

Obama has a decision on Afghanistan BUT...
Obama has a plan but he cannot tell us what his brilliant plan is for another week! The Obama administration has announced it will reveal its Afghan strategy on Tuesday December 1, 2009 Apparently, Obama has finally made up his mind about the policy that his administration will pursue in Afghanistan and he did it before Christmas! Apparently, now that Obama feels that his unwanted and unnecessary attempt to ruin the American Healthcare system is safely proceeding forward he can actually focus on being the Commander in Chief of the United States Military. I only pray that Obama will break his mold of incompetence and bumbling and actually unveil a plan to win the war in Afghanistan next Tuesday but I am not holding my breath.

BUFFALO YOU ARE BREAKING MY HEART
Well ladies and gentlemen it was a bad weekend for Buffalo sports teams and for my poor aching heart. Bury my heart in Buffalo! First off the Sabres fought hard but went down in OT Friday to the Bruins 2-1 for their second straight loss on Friday. On Saturday the Sabres had Lalime in goal and got stomped 5-3 by the Ottawa Senators. Patrick Lalime is completely and utterly worthless he needs to be punched in the face and then waived by the Sabres. From bad to worse the Buffalo Bills lose a heartbreaker in the 4th quarter to the Jacksonville Jaguars 18-15 in Jacksonville. The Bills go late into the 4th leading 15-10 then the Jags drive down to the Buffalo 2 yard line and the Bills hold tough but under a minute they succumb and give up a touchdown and 2pt conversion. Bills fall to 3-7 on the season. T.O. had a monster game and Fitzpatrick looked decent today with 1 td and 2 ints but the second INT was a garbage pick when he was forced to throw at the end of the game. I am encouraged by the new coaching and they way the Bills played for 98 percent of this game. GO BILLS STOP BREAK MY HEART!!!!
The only two bright spots in my weekend of pain and suffering were the Toledo Rockets and the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Rockets made me smile and shout by stomping the winless Eastern Michigan Eagles on Friday night 47-21. Toledo improved to 5-6 in what has been a real up and down season under our new head coach. Toledo can smash their rivals in Bowling Green and finish strong at 6-6 to salvage the season. Toledo let’s stomp those pathetic Falcons and finish strong.
At least I am not a CLEVELAND BROWNS FAN OH MY GOSH WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS! CONGRATULATIONS DETROIT WAY TO GO STAFFORD!

PLANET EARTH SERIES
I am taking a short break from blogging I feel burned out and depressed by the recent events in the world. I am going to focus all my energy on watching nature shows and relaxing. I am currently watching the Planet Earth Series. Getting back to my root when I used to wear He-Man pajamas and watch Wild America with Marty Stouffer.

BLACKS MUST OBEY OBAMA
According to Reverend Jesse Jackson the world famous racial agitator you cannot vote against ObamaCare and consider yourself black. Jackson's comment was a thinly veiled attack on Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala the sole member of the Congressional Black Caucus to vote against Obamacare. Apparently, Rep. Artur Davis black since birth can no longer call himself black because he voted against Obamacare. Rep. Artur Davis has not commented on his newly undefined racial status but if he continues to oppose Obamacare I will be glad to accept him if the CBC no longer wants him. This just further cements the fact that Reverend Jesse Jackson is nothing more than a buffoon and a race baiting agitator who thrives by creating drama and undermining race relations.

DICK-LESS in BUFFALO
Alhamdulillah! Ralph Wilson, owner of the Buffalo Bills, has fired head coach Dick Jauron after the Bills started their 50th season 3-6. Every since Dick Jauron has come to Buffalo things have slowly slide south into the gutter and I honestly wanted to believe in Dick Jauron. Believing in Dick Jauron delivered a bitter fruit and provided very little joy. I am rejoicing that Dick Jauron has been fired and a new interim coach has been appointed. I only pray that the Bills can salvage an 8-8 finish and then rebuild in the offseason. Note to the Cleveland Browns it is not too late to can Mangini and feel the rare joy in a terrible season that accompanies an incompetent being fired. Now the real question is will the Bills finally get it right and hire a real head coach. I am not holding out hope for Ralph Wilson actually allowing the Bills to succeed and so the debate begins: WHO WILL LEAD THE BILLS?

THE GREAT BICYCLE CAPER
So some low-life stole Hibah's bicyle yesterday while I was at work. What kind of a loser steals a bike from a person's front porch I mean honestly are you that pathetic. I only hope that this loser or drug addicted waste of life rides the bike off an abyss or into oncoming traffic. It is not about the bike joy-boy it's the fact that you stole something that did not belong to you! If someone would have come and asked for the bike I would have said by all means friendo take the bicycle and ride off into the sunset. Now it's war bike geek like the time I declared war on the fixed gear losers and their liberal militia of commie losers. I am not going to lose this battle you parasitic air-thief!
NO DISSENT ON GLOBAL WARMING
Apparently Obama and the liberals have decided that global warming or climate change is real and that disputing this fact is not protected first amendment speech and can be silenced. Apparently two climate experts at a little outfit called the EPA published a video disputing cap and trade and its ability to control climate change well this did not go over to well at the White House. Laurie Williams and husband Alan Zabel worked for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for more than 20 years, they put out a video questioning among other things the motive and effectiveness of the proposed cap and trade or as I call it cap and tax. Initially the married couple received permission from their boss at the EPA to release the video but then they were subsequently told to take the video down or face disciplinary action! This is bone-chilling if you attempt to exercise your constitutional right to free speech and Obama does not like it you can be sanctioned and potentially find yourself unemployed.
Here is the video the Obama WHITE HOUSE does not want you to see!

Liberal Hit List
Apparently the liberals have made "hit lists" for the democrats with the audacity to vote against Obamacare. The hit list basically consists of the names of all the democrats who voted against Obamacare then asks their lunatic fringe to do everything in their power to defeat these democrats. Essentially, the far left-wing socialists want to target and destroy any opposition, dissent or free thought still left in the Democratic party. If you do not worship at the altar of the Messiah OBAMA apparently you deserve to be forcefully removed from office. The scary thing about this left-wing lunatics is that they are playing for keeps and they could care less what the American people think feel or want and that if these lunatics have their way there will be no moderate democrats just militant socialists.
BILLS BUMBLE AFTER THE BYE
So it should come as no suprise to anyone that the Buffalo Bills are still horrible and the bye week did very little to help them find direction or motivation in this season in the abyss. The Bills managed to tie the game at 17 heading into the 4th quarter but then somehow managed to throw the game away and give up 24 fourth quarter points to fall to the Tennesse Titans 41-17. However, on the bright side of things Jairus Byrd remained awesome grabbing another pick to take his season total to 7 and make him one of the only positive things about the Bills this year. Jairus Byrd is amazing and the greatest part he is only a rookie! Trent Edwards did allright today at QB but he threw a pick late in the game which sealed the loss for the Bills. I believed in Edwards but now I believe it is time to draft a franchise quarterback and let Edwards fade into oblivion. Bottom line the Bills are awful but the Sabres are red hot as the weather gets cold. Time to put away your Bills gear, fire Dick Jauron, hire an offensive coordinator, draft a QB and watch the Sabres with a cup of hot cocoa.

TERRORIST MASTERMIND TO BE TRIED IN FEDERAL COURT
It is hard to put into words how naive and stupid the Obama administration decision to try the 9/11 mastermind and other jihadists in Federal Court instead of before a military tribunal really is and also how dangerous of a precedent it sets. This decision by Attorney General Holder and President Obama is a slap in the face to the families of the 9/11 victims and to the American public in general. By giving the terrorists a platform to spew their vile hatred and murderous ramblings Obama has dealt the security and integrity of the United States a real blow.

OBAMA PUNTS ON TOUGH DECISION
It should come as no suprise that Obama has decided to do nothing in regards to the war in Afghanistan when faced with the tough decision on how to proceed in a war that is quickly slipping into oblivion. Obama stated today that he is rejecting all of the current proposals and that he wants new ideas. What Obama is really saying is I am not qualified to be President and I do not want to win this war thus enflaming the ire of my super leftist constinuency. Obama is beginning to look at like a hybrid of LBJ and Nixon he is paranoid and making enemies lists and he is refusing to allocate military resources to win a tough war while American troops continue to die. Mr. President stop being a coward and make a decision!

10% percent of Mosques in America preach terror
According to a recent article that I read approximately 10% of Mosques or Masjids in America preach jihadist or terror inspired messages according to the FBI. As a Muslim, I feel compelled to talk about and share this article and to say I personally have never been to a mosque which preaches Anti-American or jihadist policies or sermons. However, I am not disputing that such mosques exists as I have heard from other Muslim that such mosques exist in NYC. A friend informed me that he went to such a mosque one Friday for Jummah prayer and was offended by the Anti-American messages espoused in the sermon. I would suggest to all Muslims if you find yourself in such a mosque call the authorities and stop frequenting such vile and despicable places. Unlike President Obama you cannot use the excuse that you never heard your Reverend say "GODDAMN AMERICA!" you have to vote with your feet and exit the mosque and report such activity to the proper authorities.
All Muslims have a duty to uphold and obey the laws of the country in which they live. As American Muslims that means that we have a duty and a responsibility to identify isolate and root out extremists in our midst and expose them to authorities. Boittom line there are mosques that preach hate-filled messages just like there are synagogues and churches which preach similar narrow minded ideological messages these places should be avoided, marginalized and shut down.

D.C. SNIPER Executed
The D.C. sniper was executed last night by lethal injection and by the time this story made the presses he was in hell where he belonged. Apparently he maintained his innocence to the end but the evidence against John Allen Muhammad was rock solid and he was given the proper sentence of death. Attempts have been made to trump up the fact that John Allen Muhammad was a Muslim and that his murderous rampage was some act of jihad these claims are nebulous at best. What is really telling about John Allen Muhammad is that he did not ask for any religious instruction or prayer prior to this death sentence being carried out. Any religious person would meet with a religious leader to prepare their soul for death and the afterlife it is clear from all reports that John Allen Muhammad did not because he was not a man of God he was a coward and a evil man who received more mercy in death than he ever afforded his victims.
Whatever John Allen Muhammad's motives his actions were unexcusable and his claims of innocence were pathetic and empty. I can still remember the D.C. sniper incident and the paralyzing fear that gripped America and the terror that all Americans felt when leaving their homes. People like John Allen Muhammad are the worst sorts of criminals because they try to take away people's freedom and joy by terrorizing them with the threat of cowardly violence. Good riddance to John Allen Muhammad!

OBAMA REJECTS CELEBRATION OF FREEDOM
Our President Barack Obama has rejected an invitation to attend a ceremony in Berlin to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall citing scheduling conflicts. It is now more apparent than ever that our President does not want to acknowledge the accomplishments of President Reagan and the defeat of the Soviet Empire. Perhaps Obama is afraid that Russia will be offended or upset by his endorsement of freedom and democracy or is it that Obama was too busy cramming socialized medicine down our throats. America needs to flush this loser in 2012 and get out his cronies in 2010.
The man behind the massacre
Of course as soon as the Fort Hood shooter was identified as a Muslim he suddenly became a "devout" Muslim and the attack on Islam began. His family did help contribute to the image of the murderer being a "devout" Muslim but this is not surprising what family member wants to describe their loved one as irreligious and horrible. Certain members of the media have harped on the fact that he is a devout Muslim and that he claimed to be a Muslim first and an American second. Here is a news flash for those making attacks on Islam as a whole: Hasan was a terrible Muslim and a worse American who deserves the death penalty. It is clear to anyone familiar with this case that Hasan was an American in name only and did not appreciate the honor and privileges afforded to him by birth in these United States of America.
I should point out that the problem with the media is that anytime a "religious" person commits a crime the fact that they are "religious" is splashed front and center in the news. This is true whether the person in question is Christian, Muslim or Jewish. The problem is that the secular humanists want to discredit and defame people of faith. If a murder is an agnostic or atheist we scarily hear about their views when hearing reports on their infamous actions but if they believe in God then somehow faith becomes a front and center issue. It is sad because a lot of religious people spend time attacking other religions and this weakens all believers in the fight against sin and secularism. I believe in a secular democracy but I also believe in the right to worship Allah with absolute freedom and respect. Instead of fighting with other people of faith we should embrace our common love of Allah or God and spread our positives values and beliefs to make America stronger.
However, in this case it also appears that the murderer and coward Hasan is also a low-life who regularly attends strip clubs, buys lap-dances from nude dancers and drank alcohol. As a refresher for Non-Muslim alcohol is considered haram or forbidden in Islam and strip clubs are definitely not appropriate in any religion. The picture is beginning to take shape this murderer was a low-life a pervert and a coward he was a Muslim in name only and his crimes belong on his soul and his soul alone. As for the idiots who are praising this murderer you are pathetic and if you hate America leave and then leave us freedom loving Muslims and Non-Muslims alone to live in peace. Muslims around America are praying for the families of the dead and wounded at Fort Hood.
Apparently, the Islamic Society of North America has set up a fund to collect money for the families that lost so much in the massacre at Fort Hood. Here is a LINK to donate money to help the families affected by the Fort Hood Massacre.
In my opinion although Hasan was not formally associated with a terrorist organization he espoused terrorist views and that made him an enemy combatant fighting in league with the enemies of the United States of America and the dead and wounded servicemen deserve the Purple Heart. I just hope and pray that America will look at this tragedy objectively and not blame the millions of Muslims in America who live here peacefully and are horrified by terrorists and their murderous ways.

THE HORROR OF OBAMACARE IS DAWNING
Obama's health care debacle narrowly passed in the U.S. House of Representatives tonight as the end becomes more visible every hour. Apparently the vote was very narrow 220-215 but Pelosi and Reid managed to pull it off by the skin of their sharpened fangs. The fact that a Democrat controlled House of Representatives so narrowly passed this horrifying health care bill should be alarming to Obama and the Democrats but they do not care about what the majority of Americans believe or want. For the first time in my adult life I am horrified by what America is becoming one incremental and deliberate step at a time.
In our prayers
Yesterday at Jummah prayer our Imam asked the congregation of Muslims gathered for prayer to pray for the dead and wounded at Fort Hood. He reminded us that the murderer was a lunatic and a madman and the fact that he claimed to be a devote Muslim was irrelevant given the fact that his actions contradicted the teachings of ALLAH. I have been very upset by the massacre at Fort Hood and was relieved to find out that my sister and her family was not harmed in the rampage as her husband is stationed at Fort Hood. I have been praying for the dead and wounded and their families to find peace in this time of pain and suffering.
I only hope that in the midst of this tragedy the American public will not allow itself to follow prey to the natural instinct to blame Islam in general and stereotype Muslims especially the tens of thousands of Muslims who serve proudly and honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces. As a Muslim-American I believe in this country and its constitution I reject anyone or anything that would threaten or harm America or Americans of all races and religious denominations.
I found an opinion article on FOX news that really resonated with me and I have provided the link so that more people can read it. The article was written by Geraldo Rivera and it is very insightful and helpful in this climate to find a positive message thanking Muslim soldiers for their service to God and Country in the U.S. Armed Forces.
I am deeply disturbed by the number of so called "conservative" blogs criticizing Islam as a whole for the horrific actions of one lunatic who claims to be a Muslim. Has anyone asked the religion of the lunatic who went to his former place of employment and opened fire killing one person and wounding several others. If I had to take a wild guess I would assume that lunatic in Florida was a Christian but no one ever mentioned his religion because he was not a Muslim and because his religion like the religion of the Fort Hood shooter is irrelevant. It is nothing but the most base ignorance to condemn Islam and all Muslims for the actions of a few lunatics. As for the Fort Hood shooter I reject his claim that he is a Muslim and I pray that he will be given the death penalty for his unforgivable and despicable crimes against humanity.

TRAGEDY AT FORT HOOD
My thoughts and prayers are with the soldiers and their families at Fort Hood and with the families of the dead and wounded. This strikes close to home I have family stationed on Fort Hood. My sister her husband and my young niece are all stationed at Fort Hood. I pray for the dead and wounded that they recover or find peace in this most trying of times. Thankfully, my family members located on Fort Hood were not harmed in the attack and for that I thank and praise Allah. Apparently an American soldier by the name of Major Malik Nadal Hasan was behind this massacre and it has been released that he was a Muslim. As a Muslim I am horrified and sickened that a so called "Muslim" would murder innocent people and endanger the lives of my loved ones and other patriots serving their country at Fort Hood. Whatever his motives his actions were cowardly, despicable and inhumane.
OBAMA NOT SUPPORTIVE ENOUGH OF GAY MARRIAGE
I feel sorry for the President at times he is beseiged by his ultra-liberal constituents and radical special interest groups and blamed for not turning water into wine. Apparently gay rights activists are blaming Obama for not vigorously supporting the Gay Marriage issue on the ballot in Maine. In Maine voters voted to repeal a law which would allow and recognize same sex marriage in that state. Apparently gay rights activists believe that Obama should have been more vocal in supporting this law the irony is that Obama represents the Federal government and this was and remains a states' rights issue.
As the head of the Federal government Obama does not speak for or represent the views of the voting citizens of Maine. My personal thoughts on gay marriage are mixed, but I strongly believe that each state should be allowed to vote on the issue and the prevailing side should have their say. Every single state which has put gay marriage on the ballot has seen the voters of each state reject gay marriage at the ballot box. In other words, gay marriage has never been approved by voters in any state in which it has been a ballot issue. The only states which recognize gay marriage have either passed laws by judicial precedent or legislation that was not subject to a public vote. I am personally against this imposition of morality by hook and crook. If you are a proponent of gay marriage then put the issue on the ballot and let the voters of that state decide in a fair and democratic matter. Do not use special interests lobbying and judicial fiat to to thwart the will of the people.
I am not opposed to the idea of civil unions or a new designation for homosexual matrimony I have some qualms with calling it marriage. However, I stated earlier if this issue is placed on the ballot in Ohio and the majority of voters vote to approve same sex marriage then I will say congratulations gay may now marry. Also in regards to the ultra-liberal left do not blame the President everytime a part of your agenda is rejected by America he is the President not the Messiah. Bottom line the voters of Maine rejected a law that allows gay marriage for better or worse that is the rub so just move on and stop whining and pointing fingers.

Letter to President Obama and the RNC
Dear President Obama,
Have you gotten the message yet? America rejects your destructive socialist policies and agenda. Furthermore, Mr. President we the American people will vote all of the tax and spendaholics out of office until you get the message. Thank you New Jersey! Virginia way to show the Democrats that your state is not a purple state. Conservatism is on the rise Mr. President and we will go down swinging before we let you destroy our beloved America through weak foreign policy and socialist domestic policy. The White House does not get it though they said the Democrats lost because the voters focused not on Obama but on the poor economy. Who is responsible for the terrible economy? The answer is obvious Obama is responsible for destroying the economy and the voters responded by voting Republican. Also Obama campaigned for the Democrat in New Jersey in fact campaigned for both Corzine and Deeds, making five stops for Corzine and appeared in their advertisements. Apparently the voters were not impressed!
Dear RNC,
You should be ashamed of yourself for backing and appointing fake Republicans. The Democrats won in the 23rd District of New York because the Republican Party handed the victory to the Democrats. The Republicans have not learned that people do not support liberals masquerading as Republicans. They failed to support the true conservative and the ensuing confusion delivered the day to the Democrats. The sad thing is that Owens the Democrat is more conservative than the proposed Republican candidate who dropped out of the race and supported the Democrat. I have not mentioned the "Republican" candidate by name because she is such a loser!

BILLS BACK TO THEIR OLD WAYS
HOUSTON TEXANS 31
BUFFALO BILLS 10
Bills return to the their losing ways at home in Orchard Park, New York. Well Jairus Byrd continued to be awesome in the secondary getting his sixth interception in six starts. T.O. finally scored a touchdown (although it was on a rush) but QB Fitzpatrick was awful barely throwing for 100 yds and 2 INTS. The Bills have fallen to 3-5 and will face the awful Tennesse Titans after a bye week. All I can say is that this BYE week will probably be the best week of the 2009 Bill's season and that is just sad.
