Preaching Politics: Murdered for Refusing to Convert to Islam -- Roundup 1/7/06

*Murdered for Refusing to Convert to Islam

A mother described yesterday hearing her son shot dead after he refused to convert to Islam.

Ruth Marriott told an inquest into her son's death that she heard gunshots on the day Adrian was shot five times in the head a few weeks before his 21st birthday. Mr Marriott, an accountancy student and gang member, was killed in a park near his home in Brixton, south London, in June 2004.

"Adrian was told on the Sunday prior to his death that he would be killed if he did not become a Muslim by the Wednesday, which was the day he died."

Somehow I missed this on CNN. But if it had been a Muslim kid and a Christian gang...

George (Get a Clue)ny: We need to understand* terrorists, not label them.

From Fox News via Newsbusters:

The movie Syriana is based on the true story of a CIA operative sent to assassinate Saddam Hussein, an agent's near murder by Palestinian terrorists from Hezbollah. But in the hands of actor/producer George Clooney, the story changes Saddam into an benevolent Arab prince. And Hezbollah saves the agent's life. Americans are shown to be greedy and corrupt, while suicide bombers are presented as freedom fighters."

Clooney: "They are, in a way, the most sympathetic, but I think that's important.

Because if you are going to fight a war on terror, which is not a state that you can go and bomb, then you need to understand what it is that creates the people that would do such horrible things, rather then just saying- labeling them as evildoers."

With all due respect, George, if you don’t understand them after 9/11, you ain’t never gonna.

*Who said this – Murtha or Al-Zawahri?

Regarding your withdrawal timetable ... you have to admit, Bush, that you have been defeated in Iraq and are being defeated in Afghanistan and will be defeated in Palestine

Who can tell anymore, but for the record it was Al-Zawahri.

*Planned Parenthood Targets Minorities as Abortion Customers

From its 'Negro Project' of the 1930s to today, we see evidence that the abortion chain works hard to prevent and limit the births of minority children.
