I can't believe President Obama's luck. First, he received over 99% of the vote in districts where GOP inspectors were illegally removed. Next, he won 100% of the vote in 21 districts in Cleveland. Well, he's gotten another lucky break!

Mr. Obama won Wood County in Ohio this year. That's right, Mr. Obama won the majority of Wood County's 108% of registered voters. That's not a typo.

In 2012, 106,258 people in Wood County are registered to vote out of an eligible 98,213. But it certainly must all be a coincidence, right?

MASSIVE NATIONWIDE VOTER FRAUD COMMITTED TO BRING ABOUT ELECTION RESULTS

Here is just one account of what happened in a Wisconsin polling place

We saw loads of voters being bused in from Chicago. They were blatant, and in your face, wearing BEARS shirts, pants, hats, one even had BEARS fingernails! They were FREELY openly talking about catching buses back to Chicago.
VAN loads of these people were followed from the polling place to drop off points in the same geographical area, by THREE different individuals, including Republican Legal representative, and TWO Official Project ORCA representatives/ poll observers .

This area was in the 12th and 13 St. area between the 1300-1600 blocks. Many of the Van occupants were then seen entering two addresses there, according to first hand reports.

The ballot counting machine for wards 9 and 10 STOPPED WORKING, and had to be replaced 4 times throughout the day
, requiring replacement each time. the first breakdown occurred at 9:00 a.m.. Wards 9 & 10 are comprised of a voter count of approximately 1,500 combined, and the highest voter turnout in past elections, according to long time poll workers there, has been in the 600 to 650 range. Yesterdays voter count was over 1160.
Never before in Sheboygan County history, have ballot counting machines malfunctioned 4 times in the same election, let alone done so in the same polling place!!

The counts were absurdly skewed! GOP legal counsel advised Passionate Pachyderm pole watchers to remain at the polling place with the ballots, until such time as they witnessed the ballots being turned over to the proper authorities at the close of the poll.

In wards with only 1500 people, there were more than 120 NEW voters registered, this too is unprecedented.

In district 4, ward 14, at the mead public library, a down town ward with few residents, is mostly business, and is just one block away from the city bus transfer station... Over 200 new voters were registered there. OVER 200!

According to WI numbers, people went into the polls, voted for Democrat Barack Obama, for president, then voted straight REPUBLICAN down the line in nearly every other race. This might be possible in one or two polling places, but is VERY unlikely statewide.

We have photos of these people in vehicles with plates from different states, photos of them leaving the polls, and the many other irregularities.


*** When the third ballot counting machine went down, poll workers went to the machine, unrolled the tape and pressed buttons on the machine. Audible beeps were heard, and objections were made by other poll workers as well as official ORCA observer several times.

exact words from Me, (Official Orca observer) were : Ummm wait, I object, I am VERY uncomfortable with anyone touching that machine, she is messing with the tape,.... hey you really need to stop them from pressing buttons on the machine... EXCUSE ME, I AM VERY UNCOMFORABLE WITH THAT PERSON TOUCHING THAT MACHINE< THE TAPE AND PRESSING PUTTONS ON THE MACHINE< THAT NEEDS TO STOP AND BE DOCUMENTED IMMEDIATELY. The reply was: "Oh don't worry she isn't doing anything, nothing has changed" REPLY FROM ME: I don't know that to be true, and I am worried, YOU NEED TO STOP TOUCHING THAT MACHINE TAPE, WHY ARE YOU UNROLLING AND LOOKING AT IT? YOU DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO THAT!...PLEASE TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THAT MACHINE. I am very uncomfortable with you touching that machine.... I am going outside to call project ORCA headquarters and our legal representatives."**********
Individually, any one of these issues would be enough to set warning sirens blaring, but combine all of them together, and you get sirens, flashing red lights, and every other sort of emergency alert signal imaginable.

But Wait! There's MORE! Oh yes, a LOT more.

The Democrats stationed a self described "BIG Chicago pro bono attorney" as one of their two observers at this small polling place. He remained at the polling place from 7:00 a.m. until well after 8:p.m. .....A high priced CHICAGO attorney, sitting in a Sheboygan WISCONSIN polling place, observing wards comprised of 1500 voters? .... WHY???
Why would someone from Chicago be observing in Sheboygan Wisconsin? And WHY at such a small polling place? Finally, isn't it interesting that this would occur at the VERY polling place in which all of the above described events ALSO occurred? AGAIN WHY WOULD A CHICAGO ATTORNEY BE OBSERVING AN ELECTION POLLING PLACE WITH FEWER THAN 1500 VOTERS IN IT, IN SHEBOYGAN WISCONSIN? Of all the places where there has been suspected voting irregularities, and OUTRIGHT FRAUD throughout the ENTIRE United States, WHY HERE? WHY SHEBOYGAN? WHY THIS SMALL WARD?

This lawyer spent the day running in and out making, and taking calls, which coincidentally then coincided with influxes of groups of individuals by the van and bus loads, coming in to register, AND VOTE, using what appeared to be copied Allient energy bills. These individuals often did not have photo I.D.'s, could not remember their own addresses without looking at the paper, and became easily tripped, confused and annoyed when questioned.

Many of these same individuals, just so happened to be dressed in/wearing CHICAGO BEARS apparel, and whom openly discussed "catching busses back to Chicago" with each other, with poll workers, via their cell phones in the lobby area just outside the polling place, as well as in the parking lot, both before and AFTER registering and voting.

One woman was dressed head to toe in CHICAGO BEARS apparel including perfectly manicured BEARS fake fingernails!

She complained because registering was taking too long and she had to hurry up to catch her bus back to Chicago.

We have photos of these people in vehicles with plates from different states, photos of them leaving the polls, and other irregularities.

Once the lawyer for our side started calling things out, and more officials for the Republicans began arriving and witnessing this stuff, suddenly the Chicago lawyer's calls stopped, as did the number of new voter registrations, and taxi van loads of "BEAR FANS." This was at approximately 6 p.m.

At that same time, other irregularities were occurring, and people were busily obtaining further proof of what was going on.

Pictures were taken of cars with out of state plates in the polling place parking lot, of the vans full of people, other incidents and irregularities observed and documented .

REMEMBER, this is only a PARTIAL LIST!!

This is what we are dealing with....

WE WITNESSED IT, WE REPORTED IT, WE GATHERED PROOF OF IT, WE DID WHAT WE COULD TO KEEP IT FROM CONTINUEING, BUT.....now I have to ask,
WHO WILL STAND AGAINST IT? WHO WILL STOP IT?
WHO WILL OBJECT TO IT HAVING HAPPENED? WHO WILL BACK US UP?

Who among you, (if anyone) will instead, throw up their hands, and say in disgust, "It's over, just let it go, move on" ?

In the past, things similar to this have happened, but once the election is over, the problems are reported, but NOTHING happens. It's swept under the rug, no one is arrested, nothing is pursued.

This is the response from local and state police, as well as local, state and federal elected officials. There ALWAYS seems to be "something" far more important in need of their attention.

NOT THIS TIME. PASSIONATE PACHYDERMS WILL NOT BE SILENT.
It's time to BRING ON THE THUNDER and expose this FRAUD election for what it was, especially in Wisconsin and Ohio, perhaps in Florida and Virginia as well.

Had Romney won Wisconsin and Ohio, let alone those states along with Florida, Colorado, and Virginia, would the stock market be taking a nose dive this morning?

Would business owners nationwide be issuing the pink slips thousands will not receive in the coming days, weeks, and months?

PP's believes this election was not won, it was stolen.

THIS IS ONLY A PARTIAL LIST of what happen here in 13 hours!!

This is what we are dealing with. THIS IS WHAT IT HAS COME DOWN TO!

I am not angry, frustrated, and disappointed by what I saw, experienced and was forced to endure yesterday as an official poll observer for Romney project ORCA. Nope not at all.

I AM PISSED OFF, FURIOUS, AND DISGUSTED.

SE Cupp scores on liberal hypocrisy

Samuel L. Jackson Tells S.E. Cupp ‘You Didn’t Want To F—k With Dick Cheney

A war broke out on the set of HBO’s Real Time Friday when MSNBC’s sole conservative commentator S.E. Cupp had the nerve to say that Barack Obama’s foreign policy was no different than former President George W. Bush’s.

In the midst of the shouting, actor Samuel L. Jackson said to Cupp, “You didn’t want to f—k with Dick Cheney" (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

[iframe title="MRC TV video player" height=281 src="http://www.mrctv.org/embed/118266" frameBorder=0 width=500 allowfullscreen=""][/iframe]

After the Daily Beast’s Andrew Sullivan commented about the current White House resident’s foreign policy during the show’s web-based Overtime segment, Cupp said, “Obama’s foreign policy is Bush’s foreign policy.”

“Are you kidding me?” asked an indignant Sullivan.

“Obama went into Libya illegally without asking Congress,” responded Cupp. “We have boots on the ground in Uganda. He makes Bush look like a Quaker.”

That set off the fireworks as Sullivan practically jumped out of his chair to refute his female co-panelist.

“Quakers do not torture people,” Sullivan shouted with his finger pointing at Cupp.

“Drone wars?” asked Cupp. “A kill list? Extra-judicial killings? You guys have no credibility if you are not going to acknowledge Obama.”

At that point, Maher tried to calm everyone down.

“I’m sorry,” continued Sullivan, “but to hear someone say that this war criminal administration that tortured human beings, invaded two countries on the basis in one case of absolutely flawed evidence is the equivalent of Obama.”

“Extra-judicial killings?” responded Cupp. “Really? That’s what we’re standing for now? You’ve got to be honest.”

Suddenly, Cupp found herself surrounded by three liberal men – Democratic strategist James Carville being the third – shouting their hypocritical views at her.

“If you’re going to talk about the philosophy that is underpinning Bush’s foreign policy,” said Cupp, “it is the same as Obama’s. One hundred percent. There is no daylight.”

After the guys echoed typical Democrat talking points about Iraq, Cupp fired back, “We got Congressional approval to go into Iraq.”

Sullivan wasn’t hearing any of it and instead accused Cupp of being in a bubble.

“Did we get Congressional approval to go into Iraq?” Cupp asked. “Yes. Did we get Congressional approval to go into Libya? No. You guys got to be honest. You’re not being honest. You’ve got a double standard that no one can talk you out of.”

“What Congress gave Bush,” Maher said, “was the right to strap on the guns. It didn’t give him the right to go in there with guns blazing.”

Whatever that meant, after some additional non sequiturs were spouted by the liberals on the panel, Cupp correctly stated, “If a Republican was implementing a drone war that killed hundreds of innocent children - children! - you would be calling for his impeachment.”

“We were,” replied Maher.

“Exactly,” pounced Cupp. “Why aren’t you calling for Obama’s?”

Completely missing the hypocrisy, Jackson entered the discussion saying, “You didn’t start none of that s—t with Dick Cheney when he was doing that s—t.”

“Why aren’t you doing it with Obama?” Cupp asked again.

“Because you don’t want to f—k with Dick Cheney,” said Jackson.

And this is the hypocrisy of today’s liberals: they despised Bush and Cheney’s foreign policy when they were in power, but Obama should completely get a pass for what he’s doing today regardless of its similarities.

As Cupp marvelously said before Maher changed the subject, “The Left’s silence on this is appalling.”

Indeed it is, but it is not at all surprising.

Obama Likely Won Re-Election Through Election Fraud

Rachel Alexander Nov 11, 2012
townhall.com


There were many factors that hurt Mitt Romney and favored Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. The Democrats portrayed Romney in the worst light possible; as a wealthy, out of touch millionaire who wanted to return women to the 1800's. The left wing media predictably did everything it could to perpetuate that false caricature. Obama's race was an advantage; voters of all persuasions, particularly minorities, still cannot get over the allure of the first black president. The 47% of Americans on welfare were predisposed to vote for the food stamp president over Romney, wanting the free goodies to keep on giving, despite the long-term unsustainability.

In spite of those odds, polls indicated that Romney was going to win the election. The economy is close to Great Depression era conditions, and unemployment is almost as high as when Obama entered office. Economic conditions became so dire after Obama took office it prompted the rise of an entire new movement, the Tea Party. Presidents rarely win reelection when the economy is in the tank.

So how did Romney lose a race that numerous reputable polls and pundits predicted would be an easy win, based on historical patterns? The most realistic explanation is voter fraud in a few swing states. According to the Columbus Dispatch, one out of every five registered voters in Ohio is ineligible to vote. In at least two counties in Ohio, the number of registered voters exceeded the number of eligible adults who are of voting age. In northwestern Ohio's Wood County, there are 109 registered voters for every 100 people eligible to vote. An additional 31 of Ohio's 88 counties have voter registration rates over 90%, which most voting experts regard as suspicious. Obama miraculously won 100% of the vote in 21 districts in Cleveland, and received over 99% of the vote where GOP inspectors were illegally removed.

The inflated numbers can't just reflect voters who have moved, because the average voting registration level nationwide is only 70%. The vast majority of voters over the 70% level are not voting because they want to, they are voting because someone is getting them to cast a vote, one way or another. Those 31 counties are most likely the largest counties in Ohio, representing a majority of Ohio voters. This means the number of votes cast above the 70% typical voter registration level easily tops 100,000, the margin Obama won Ohio by.

Videographer James O'Keefe, known for his undercover videos exposing left wing fraud, caught a Virginia Democratic Congressman's son on video in October explaining how to commit voter fraud. Patrick Moran, the son of Rep. Jim Moran, told O'Keefe's videographer that in order to make a vote for someone else, you'd need two pieces of identification, such as a utility bill, explaining, "they can fake a utility bill with ease, you know?"
He went on to advise the videographer that he should also call the voter and pretend to be a polling company in order to make sure the voter isn't intending to vote. He said that Democrat attorneys would be located in the polling places to assist him if challenged casting one of these illegal votes.

In another video, O'Keefe's videographer tells a DNC staffer from Obama's Organizing for America that she intends to vote in both Texas and Florida. The staffer laughs and says, "It's cool." The staffer then prints out a voter registration form for the undercover videographer and advises her on what to do if she gets caught.

These are just the known instances of attempted voter fraud. How many instances occurred that were not discovered? Obama's Organizing for America looked up voters in swing states – many who would not have bothered voting otherwise – and got them to vote. How did they get them to vote? They may have given them rides to the polls, they may have offered to fill out and return their ballots for them, or they may have voted ballots for the ones who were not going to vote.

Many on the left believe there is nothing wrong with committing fraud in order to ensure Obama's reelection. It is a common tenet on the left that the ends justify the means. Saul Alinsky, the 1960's radical who inspired Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, taught community organizers like Obama that dishonesty is acceptable if it achieves your political goals. And when caught, Alinsky teaches radicals to deny the wrongdoing and change the topic to put their accusers on the defensive. One Obama supporter brazenly posted on Facebook that he was voting four times for Obama, asserting that the ends justify the means.

Aiding Obama's win was a devious suppression of the conservative vote. The conservative-leaning military vote has decreased drastically since 2010 due to the so-called Military Voter Protection Act that was enacted into law the year before. It has made it so difficult for overseas military personnel to obtain absentee ballots that in Virginia and Ohio there has been a 70% decrease in requests for ballots since 2008. In Virginia, almost 30,000 fewer overseas military voters requested ballots than in 2008. In Ohio, more than 20,000 fewer overseas military voters requested ballots. This is significant considering Obama won in both states by a little over 100,000 votes.

Voter fraud has been in the works for years. At least 52 employees of the left wing group ACORN have been convicted of voter registration fraud. ACORN itself was convicted of the crime of "compensation," paying its registration canvassers bonuses to exceed their quotas. In 2008, 36% of ACORN's voter registrations were invalidated. Left wing political pundit Chris Matthews admitted last year that pretending to call someone from a polling company, then voting their ballot for them, has been happening in big cities since the 1950's. He admitted he knows that kind of voter fraud takes place in Philadelphia.

Strong-arming people into voting who really have no desire to vote undermines our form of government. People do not choose to vote because they are uninformed about the issues and candidates, are lazy, cynical, or are content with the status quo. Voting someone else's ballot for them is cheating the system and essentially giving yourself two votes.

When people claim that Obama won because the economy was improving, or because Americans generally think he is doing a good job, it is not true. He won through dishonest methods and rhetoric. Many of the votes cast in the swing states were cajoled, some legally and perhaps even more illegally, into supporting him.

Did ABC News Deceptively Edit Zimmerman Juror’s Controversial Interview?

An Unlikely Source Is Calling Them Out

......................................................................................
Jul. 26, 2013 Jason Howerton

ABC News is being accused of deceptively editing, or at least misrepresenting (intentionally or not), some of the comments made by Juror B29, the lone “nonwhite” juror in the George Zimmerman murder trial.

Further, the media as a whole are being accused of manipulating some of her statements.

These allegations come not from a conservative news source, but rather from Slate.com.

The key phrase latched onto by most media outlets, due to its sensational nature, was “George Zimmerman got away with murder” — words that were, in fact, said by Juror B29. But the full unedited video of the comment, in context, tells a different story, claims Slate’s William Saletan.

Here’s his case (emphasis added):

ABC News hasn’t posted a full unedited video or transcript of the interview. The video that has been broadcast—on World News Tonight, Nightline, and Good Morning America—has been cut and spliced in different ways, often so artfully that the transitions appear continuous.

So beware what you’re seeing
. But the video that’s available already shows, on closer inspection, that Maddy has been manipulated and misrepresented.

Here are the key points.

[...]

The phrase “got away with murder” was put in her mouth.

N
ightline shows ABC interviewer Robin Roberts asking Maddy: “Some people have said, ‘George Zimmerman got away with murder. How do you respond to those people who say that?’

Maddy appears to reply promptly and confidently: “George Zimmerman got away with murder. But you can’t get away from God.”


But that’s not quite how the exchange happened. In the unedited video, Roberts’ question is longer, with words that have been trimmed from the Nightline version, and Maddy pauses twice, for several seconds, as she struggles to answer it. “… George Zimmerman … That’s—George Zimmerman got away with murder. But you can’t get away from God.”

You have to watch her, not just read her words, to pick up her meaning. As she struggles to answer, she looks as though she’s trying to reconcile the sentiment that’s been quoted to her—that Zimmerman “got away with murder”—with her own perspective. So she repeats the quote and adds words of her own, to convey what she thinks: that there’s a justice higher than the law, which Zimmerman will have to face. She thinks he’s morally culpable, not legally guilty.

Anti-Zimmerman media personalities, like Al Sharpton and essentially anyone else at MSNBC, have pointed to the interview as proof that Zimmerman actually got away with murder, even the juror is admitting it! One MSNBC guest even personally attacked the juror, yelling “shame on you!” while reacting to the ABC interview.

Saletan goes on to note a number of other key portions of Juror B29's much-talked about sit-down with ABC. His points include:

She stands by the verdict: “ABC’s online story about the interview ends with Maddy asking, “Did I go the right way? Did I go the wrong way?”

But that’s not the whole quote.

In the unedited video, she continues: “I know I went the right way, because by the law and the way it was followed is the way I went. But if I would have used my heart, I probably would have [gone for] a hung jury.”

Saletan also explains that the juror making the distinction that Zimmerman was guilty of “killing” Trayvon Martin, but that’s not the same thing as murder or manslaughter, which requires evidence proving it was malicious and/or intentional.

She thinks the case should have never gone to trial: At one point, Roberts asked the juror “whether the case should have gone to trial,” she replied, “I don’t think so. … I felt like this was a publicity stunt.”

Race wasn’t discussed, and she didn’t focus on it: “When the verdict was announced and she was released from sequestration, she was dismayed to discover the national outrage. ‘I didn’t know how much importance’ was attached to the trial, she says, ‘because I never looked at color. And I still don’t look at color.’”

Saletan goes on to debate the “value of colorblindness,” but correctly concludes that the juror stayed focused on the evidence in the case, not on what race and other factors meant to the general public.

Saletan makes several other interesting points on why he feels “Juror B29 is being framed.” To be clear, the Slate writer does not appear to take a position defending Zimmerman or supporting the anti-Zimmerman position in his analysis.

The full, unedited video or transcript of the Juror B29 interview had yet to be released on Friday afternoon, Slate notes. Here is the most complete version available.

Oh, my goodness. A network news outlet doctoring video to fit a narrative? Is anyone surprised?

US Benghazi Hero Waited 20 Hours For Help With a Shredded Leg – While Obama Campaigned in Las Vegas
..............................................................
by Jim Hoft on Saturday, July 27, 2013
thegatewaypundit.com


Diplomatic security agent David Ubben, like former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, ran into the Special Mission Compound (SMC) to help save US officials under siege in Benghazi. Ubben was struck by a mortar round that killed Woods and Doherty. His leg was shredded. Ubben was forced to wait twenty hours before a plane was sent to pick him up.

While Ubben was waiting for help with a shredded leg Barack Obama was campaigning in Las Vegas.

After a good night sleep Obama flew to Las Vegas to campaign on September 12, 2012. ( Zimbio)

Martha MacCullan at FOX News reported on this unbelievable story:

David Ubben waited for twenty hours after he was hit on that rooftop with Tyrone Woods and Glenn Doherty. His leg was shredded. We know that he has been recovering for ten months at Walter Reed as Catherine has just reported. He was defending the US consulate and then no medical aircraft was apparently sent to this scene to get him out of there. How could this be?”

If we had a real media that gave a damn this might make some headlines.

How Muslims Did Not Invent Algebra
................................................................................
Friday, 2 August 2013



Continuing on the theme of what Muslims did - or more likely did not do - for the world, there is a widespread misconception that they "invented algebra". Maybe this fallacy is due to the fact that "algebra" is a word of Arabic origin, but historical questions are not solved by etymological answers.

Yes, the English word "algebra" derives from the Arabic. So does "sugar" (from the Arabic "sukkar") but that doesn't mean that Muslims invented sugar.

The word "algebra" stems from the Arabic word "al-jabr", from the name of the treatise Book on Addition and Subtraction after the Method of the Indians written by the 9th-century Persian mathematician Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, who translated, formalized and commented on ancient Indian and Greek works.

It is even doubtful whether al-Khwarizmi was really a Muslim. The Wikipedia entry on him says:

Regarding al-Khwarizmi's religion, Toomer writes:

"Another epithet given to him by al-?abari, "al-Majusi," would seem to indicate that he was an adherent of the old Zoroastrian religion. This would still have been possible at that time for a man of Iranian origin, but the pious preface to al-Khwarizmi's Algebra shows that he was an orthodox Muslim, so al-?abari's epithet could mean no more than that his forebears, and perhaps he in his youth, had been Zoroastrians."

In all likelihood he was a Zoroastrian who was forced to convert (or die) by Muslim rulers because Persia had been conquered by the Islamic armies and that was what Muslims did (and still do wherever they can). That could easily explain the "pious preface to al-Khwarizmi's Algebra".

Wikipedia also says:

In Renaissance Europe, he [al-Khwarizmi] was considered the original inventor of algebra, although it is now known that his work is based on older Indian or Greek sources.

There is archaeological evidence that the roots of algebra date back to the ancient Babylonians, then developed in Egypt and Greece. The Chinese and even more the Indians also advanced algebra and wrote important works on the subject.

The Alexandrian Greek mathematician Diophantus (3rd century AD), sometimes called "the father of algebra", wrote a series of books, called Arithmetica, dealing with solving algebraic equations. Another Hellenistic mathematician who contributed to the progress of algebra was Hero of Alexandria, as did the Indian Brahmagupta in his book Brahmasphutasiddhanta.

With the Italian Leonardo Pisano (known as Leonardo Fibonacci, as he was the son of Bonacci) in the 13th century, another Italian mathematician, Girolamo Cardano, author in 1545 of the 40-chapter masterpiece Ars magna ("The great art"), and the late-16th-century French mathematician François Viète, we move from the prehistory of algebra to the beginning of the classical discipline of algebra.

Even Bertrand Russell, who in no way is a critic of the Islamic world, writes in the Second Volume of The History of Western Philosophy:

Arabic philosophy is not important as original thought. Men like Avicenna and Averroes are essentially commentators. Speaking generally, the views of the more scientific philosophers come from Aristotle and the Neoplatonists in logic and metaphysics, from Galen in medicine, from Greek and Indian sources in mathematics and astronomy, and among mystics religious philosophy has also an admixture of old Persian beliefs. Writers in Arabic showed some originality in mathematics and in chemistry--in the latter case, as an incidental result of alchemical researches.

Mohammedan civilization in its great days was admirable in the arts and in many technical ways, but it showed no capacity for independent speculation in theoretical matters. Its importance, which must not be underrated, is as a transmitter. Between ancient and modern European civilization, the dark ages intervened. The Mohammedans and the Byzantines, while lacking the intellectual energy required for innovation, preserved the apparatus of civilization--education, books, and learned leisure. Both stimulated the West when it emerged from barbarism--the Mohammedans chiefly in the thirteenth century, the Byzantines chiefly in the fifteenth. In each case the stimulus
produced new thought better than any produced by the transmitters--in the one case scholasticism, in the other the Renaissance (which however had other causes also).

You can see that to say that Muslims invented or pioneered algebra is a gross misrepresentation.

In conclusion, there are various attempts at historical revisionism as far as Islamic contributions to the world are concerned. These attempts are more political propaganda than academic scholarship. After all, taqiyya, lying to the infidels to advance Allah's cause, is permitted, and even prescribed, to Muslims, and jihad does not just consist in violent aggression or terror attacks: it can be gradual, by stealth, through indoctrination and false reassurance.

Metro Detroit chaplain program graduating more Muslims to fill needs for every faith
.........................................................................................................
by Mark Hicks The Detroit News August 10, 2013

Chaplain Reyad Mallad prays with Mahasan Jaffar after he reads the Quran to her. The recent graduate of Ecumenical Theological Seminary regularly visits patients at Imperial Healthcare Centre in Dearborn Heights. (Robin Buckson/The Detroit News) While still in a Muslim chaplain training program at the Ecumenical Theological Seminary in Detroit and volunteering at a local hospital early last year, Hajj Reyad Mallad was asked to fill a challenging role many others face gaining similar experience: visit the family of a dying patient.

When the Canton Township man entered the room, he found a group of relatives gathered around the bed with Bibles, praying. They asked him to recite a prayer, which is typical of the chaplains — often Christians — who offer spiritual support during difficult times.

After the last entreaty, Mallad said, the group was “just floored” to learn he was a Muslim. “They said, ‘Muslim people pray like that?’ ” he recalled. “They were so receiving of me. ... Three or four of the women were in tears.”

More enlightening encounters are expected since Mallad completed the chaplaincy program, which prepares area Muslims to spiritually counsel people of various faiths at hospitals, nursing homes, jails and other settings.

It was spurred by increasing requests for Muslim chaplains, said Imam Steve Mustapha Elturk, president at the Islamic Organization of North America in Warren who helped launch the program and is an instructor. “The need was definitely there. There’s need simply because of the huge presence of Muslims in southeast Michigan.”

The first group of chaplain trainees began instruction in 2011 and graduated this June. More sessions start next month; enrollment in the program ends Aug. 22, coordinators said.

During the program, students paid to attend courses on Muslim history, law and other topics. They also volunteered at hospitals and other sites in the area.

Coordinators insist the effort is not about finding converts but focusing on a person’s spiritual needs in a serious situation — an act that transcends denominations or specific affiliations.

“We’re not trying to create Muslim chaplains — we’re just trying to create chaplains that happen to be Muslim so they can minister to anyone,” said Urias Beverly, director of the program.

That broad approach is evident throughout the interactions.

Abu Muhammad Ussabur, who volunteers for hospitals in Detroit, recently was called to the bedside of an elderly Baptist woman. Initially skeptical after eyeing her visitor’s kufi and long robe, she began inquiring about his faith.

Ussabur quickly cleared some of her misconceptions about Islam, including followers’ beliefs on Jesus. “She said, ‘It seems like there’s not too much difference between us and you all,’ ” he said. “I said, ‘That’s right. It’s not.’ ”

Shifting spiritual trends and a changing population dovetails with the growing numbers in recent years of Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist members joining the Association of Professional Chaplains, which represents some 4,200 nationwide, said Valerie Storms, the group’s president. “As the population grows and different faiths come into our country… I think we will see more and more Muslim chaplains become a part of our group.”

Naglaa Akeel, a retired doctor from Bloomfield Hills, said she pursued chaplaincy as another way to help patients. Although she enjoys assisting those with diverse views, she felt particularly attuned to the needs of other Muslims who desire guidance from a like-minded peer.

“Some people are maybe angry at God … some people lose their patience and their faith at a time of crisis. So it was very nice to have a chance to talk to those people,” she said. “People need this service — especially when they are desperate and no one is around to understand them.”
