The Battles of Importance Exceeding Local

This title requires an explanation. During WW2, when the Soviet radio was reporting on the events from the front, they would say about areas where no major battles were taking place: "There were battles of local importance."

There are people who dream of converting our country, or even the whole world, into a nation-wide harem, or a Caliphate – whatever you want to call it. A few clear-thinking people, most of whom survived Soviet Communism, came out to protest the movement for Caliphatization of the whole world.

Why must we, as polite and politically correct citizens, bow to the will of these thugs. Because we are cultured, well-mannered, and, most importantly, politically correct. In other words, we are a country of scared sheep. And now – to the issue at hand.

March 13, 2011. Demonstration of protest against construction of a mosque in the area populated for the most part by Russian-speaking Jews.

Why there? Well, because this is their MO, their tactics and strategy. If the mosque get built, than in ten years there will be no more “Russians” in the neighborhood. (Note: The word “Russians” is put in quotes because these people are not “Russians”, but Jews from the former Soviet Union and all naturalized Americans). Only Muslims will be there. Their leaders – MAS (Muslim American Society) – capture territory this way.

According to Pamela Geller and other well known experts in Islamization of countries, MAS is the civilian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood.

There were a lot of speakers at the rally, including Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, Andy Sullivan were among them. Their speeches were interrupted by applause of the hundreds of people who came to the front line of the struggle for the future of our country, for the future of our children and grandchildren.
As usual, our “elected people's representatives” in various elected offices were hiding in the bushes. I think they understand everything quite clearly. It is just that their main goal is to be re-elected, to stay near the feeder. And for that they need the votes of Muslims and the votes of huge quantity of leftist “defenders of human rights”.

The politicians were calculating that it would be to side with MAS and our politically correct representatives, and against the majority of the residents of Sheepshead Bay and the rest of Southern Brooklyn.

Against this background I'd like to note the speech of David Storobin, the Vice-Chairman of the Republican Party in Brooklyn, New York. He is the only Brooklyn politician who was not afraid to step on stage and openly say what he thought. Thank you, David!

David Storobin

Here is the gist of what he said.

Perhaps the construction itself is legal (if you don't count disagreements on zoning and multiple construction violations). However, according to Anti-Defamation League, the main construction partner of this mosque is Muslim American Society, which “has troubling history of cooperation with radical organizations and private individuals supporting terrorism and antisemitism, and rejecting the right of Israel to exist as an independent state”. Furthermore, “Internet sites connected to MAS publish articles in support of jihad and suicide bombers”. Also, ADL maintains that MAS is “the leading American Muslim organization conducting anti-Israel activities in the USA”. One of the MAS leaders said that “the Jews are the unique historical and religious example of people who took the wrong path”.

Many publications in the press (Chicago Tribune, Investigative Project and others) make the members of our community think very seriously about what MAS represents.

David expressed concern that the elected officials were absent and called on them to actively participate in the process. After all, that is the reason why they represent the people in elected offices. He said: “We ask you to get involved in the process. Perhaps you will be able to publicize data about foreign sources of financing the project, so that we could be sure that the construction partners would act in accordance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Any public tactics chosen by you will give you time to research the data on MAS. And if the concern about MAS will turn out to be unfounded, and if all concerns of local residents about overcrowding of the streets with traffic, parking problems and noise level will dissipate, then we will be able to fully accept our new neighbor without any fears.”

Will our “people's representatives” hear us? Senator Chuck Shumer, Congressman Anthony Weiner, State Senator Carl Kruger, Assemblywoman Helen Weinstein, Councilman Lew Fidler, where are you?
