A Muslim Mayor in Georgia

Fox News

The Macon, Ga., Mayor Jack Ellis Wants to convert to Islam and change his legal name to Hakim Mansour Ellis.

Ellis, 61, a Macon native who was raised Christian, said he became a Sunni Muslim during a December ceremony in the west African nation of Senegal.

Ellis said he has studied the Koran for years and that his new religion was practiced by his ancestors before they were brought to North America as slaves.

“Why does one become a Christian?” Ellis said Thursday. “You do it because it feels right. ... To me it’s no big deal. But people like to know what you believe in.”

Name-changing by Ismaic converts is a common practice that is considered commendable, though it is typically not required.

Ellis said he would keep his last name at the request of two daughters.

Ellis, whose mayoral term expires this year, said he hasn’t calculated how his religious conversion might affect him politically. He said he is proud to live in a country founded on religious freedom.

Take back your country by getting involved. Run for office, help someone you support get elected, vote, drive people to the polls, join a grassroots movement, volunteer, write a post-card a week, send an e-mail a day. Do whatever it takes to be heard over the din of political spin and media misinformation.

It all starts at the local level. Get involved in your town, city or county government today!

The noisy minority would drown in a sea of their own insignificance if only 50% of the eligible voters would merely exercise their right to vote!

Islamists (including converts) ultimately seek hegemonic control via a worldwide caliphate that applies the Islamic law (Shari’a) in full. Afghanistan under the Taliban offers one model of what they would establish globally.

While the public intuitively understands the threat of terrorism and is mobilized by it, and while states have well-developed institutions (law enforcement, intelligence agencies, the military, the justice system) to protect and fight against it, the activities of nonviolent extremists are not alarming and institutions do not exist to deal with this problem.

Here is a sampling of steps taken by non-Muslims to accommodate Islamists:

* Sell land at discount prices for building mosques or other Islamic institutions.
* Ban Hindus and Jews from a jury hearing a criminal case against an Islamist in Great Britain.
* Allow a prisoner the unheard-of right to avoid prosecution in New York State.
* Let Islamic students in public (i.e., taxpayer-funded) schools use empty classrooms in New Jersey.
* Permit public buildings and public land to be used to convert non-Muslims.
* Recognize polygamous Islamic marriages for tax purposes in the United Kingdom.
* Set aside special times for Islamic women at a municipal swimming pools in France or use taxpayer funds for Muslim swimming times in Washington State.
* Arrange for Islamic women-only classes at a taxpayer-supported university.
* Blame women for being the victims of rape in Norway.
* Develop a special hijab for female Muslim employees of a leading home furnishing company, sporting the corporate logo.
* Ban the use of piggybanks—the symbol of frugality—in their advertising by two major British banks.
* Establish panels, councils, or advisory boards uniquely for Muslims.
* Authorize Muslim-only neighborhoods or events.
* Apply the “Rushdie rules” – accepting Islamist intimidation and silencing critics of Islam.
* Punish anti-Islamic views through the application of criminal charges, as has occurred to critics of Islam in Australia and Canada.
* Prohibit families from sending “Any matter containing religious material” to U.S. military personnel serving in the Middle East.
* Require that female American soldiers in Saudi Arabia wear burkas when off a military base.

Perhaps most alarming is how the Islamists currently dominate the Muslim political scene in every Western society, without exception. They control the mosques, publish the weeklies, host the Internet sites, run the schools, write the op-eds, appear on talk shows, engage in ecumenical activities, and enjoy access to politicians.

CASE STUDY :ISLAMIST INDOCTRINATION OF U.S CITIZENS

CAIR

Council on American Islamist Relations

A “terrorist supporting front organization … founded by Hamas supporters” that aims “to make radical Islam the dominant religion in the United States.”

In a lawsuit that it brought against an anti-cair website CAIR objected to being described as “dedicated to the overthrow of the United States Constitution and the installation of an Islamic theocracy in America.

“Let their [sic] be no doubt that CAIR is a terrorist supporting front organization that is partially funded by terrorists, and that CAIR wishes nothing more than the implementation of Shari’a law in America.”

* CAIR is an “organization founded by Hamas supporters which seeks to overthrow Constitutional government in the United States and replace it with an Islamist theocracy using our own Constitution as protection

CAIR is not in the United States to promote the civil rights of Muslims. CAIR is here to make radical Islam the dominant religion in the United States and convert our country into an Islamic theocracy along the lines of Iran.

CAIR is a fundamentalist organization dedicated to the overthrow of the United States Constitution and the installation of an Islamic theocracy in America.”

CAIR did not want to admit that Hamas murders innocent civilians

CAIR declined to answer whether it aims to convert American Christians to Islam

CAIR: Islamists Fooling the Establishment

Quietly, lawfully, peacefully, Islamists do their work throughout the West to win support, create shari’a law, and deprive women and non-Muslims of their full civil rights.

Lawful Islamists advance their cause through lobbying politicians, intimidating the media, threatening international boycotts, making predatory use of the legal system, advancing novel legislation, influencing the contents of school textbooks, and in other ways exploiting the freedoms of an open society. They advance their agenda in incremental steps, each of which in itself is minor but in the aggregate point to fundamental changes in society.
Resisting Lawful Islamism

The fight against invidious Islamism has two components. The first is to widen the “war on terror” from violent enemies to political enemies. The war needs to be understood to involve scholarship, think tank research, textbooks, campus activities, the media, press relations, philanthropy, corporate decisions, political lobbying, lawsuits, feature movies, toys, computer games, and much else.

The second is to identify and encourage the work of truly moderate Muslims who, working with non-Muslims, can help reduce the power of the Islamists. Moderate Muslims have several key roles: fighting the application of Islamic law (as in Ontario), engaging in undercover work (for example, the work of journalist Mazher Mahmood), gathering materials (such as those used in theFreedom House report on mosque literature), exposing Islamist writings (such as the work of Zuhdi Jasser), strengthening anti-Islamist efforts (for example, Ahmed Subhy Mansour’s criticisms of the Islamic). Ultimately, anti-Islamist Muslims have the burden of coming up with a modern, moderate, and good-neighborly vision of Islam.

How does what you wrote relate to what you quoted from Fox News? The muslems work the same side of the track as the lefties trying to indoctrinate the young in the schools, universities, etc and then use the muliticulterism craze to enforce rules favoring them.  Useful idiots the lefties cause when the muslims gain the upper hand they will no longer have a need for them.


You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

docdave on February 2, 2007 at 02:25 pm

That’s a bit much to connect to a story of a guy converting to Islam don’t you think?

Samantha on February 2, 2007 at 02:36 pm

Not in the least, sam.  It fits perfectly in the muslim edict to non-muslims to convert, submit or die.  I’m sure that the lefties in this country are already signing up for convert and/or submit.  And they, the muslims and the lefties, are using the freedoms in our society for their mission.

It may not be large scale yet, sam, but it will be after 2008.


You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

Joel, your opinion here seems to be at odds with your opinion on Jihadwatch.org. I’d like to hear you explain further so that I can understand why both the site and your comments here are the same opinion to you.

That’s kind of a discombobulated question but I think I know what you’re asking. My suggestion is to go back and re-read the post about Keith Ellison.

Why are you so upset about accomodations to muslims? or have you forgot that we have freedom of religion in this country. Maybe if you have a problem with this religion you shouldn’t be calling yourself an american. Other religions receive accomodations for their religion practices as well..and if you want something to be upset about..take fore example that any Israeli jew who commit a crim in this country, even a murder can get away with it if he fled’s to Israel and no one can touch him there...not even the US government. So stop your hate speech because as far as i’m concerned you are hate is what fuels terrorism in this age and if you hate muslims then you are the terrorist.

Bullshit!!!!  Student student.....is now using the screen name, “stopthehate” ....wink

You can also look to France for an example of what happens to appeasers who believe in “accomodation” for muslims:

They go by the euphemistic term Zones Urbaines Sensibles, or Sensitive Urban Zones, with the even more antiseptic acronym ZUS, and there are 751 of them as of last count. They are convienently listed on one long webpage, complete with street demarcations and map delineations.

What are they? Those places in France that the French state does not control.

They range from two zones in the medieval town of Carcassone to twelve in the heavily Muslim town of Marseilles, with hardly a town in France lacking in its ZUS.

The ZUS came into existence in late 1996 and according to a 2004 estimate, nearly 5 million people live in them.

A more precise name for these zones would be Dar al-Islam, the place where Muslims rule.

Muslims continue to riot in Paris:

So “FUCK YOU” and the horse you rode in on bitch!!!

Joel on February 17, 2007 at 04:33 am

Stop the hate, indeed. We have freedom of religion. Islam has freedom to kill all people of different religions. See the difference there? In every place that Islam attains acendance over other religions they begin killing the members of the other religions. They burn homes and schools and businesses. The rape and torture children and women in order to force other people to submit to their hate filled religion. All the Muslims who have fled from these Deathcult Satan Worshipping assholes now live in terror that morons like you are going to allow terrorist supporting Deathcult Satan Worshipping fucks to take charge in North America.

Now, present one,single example of a Jew murdering someone and fleeing to Israel. Just one. The FBI and Interpol publish long lists of Muslim men who commit murder and flee to countries in the Mid and Far-East to escape punishment. Israel extridites wanted criminals on a daily basis. Also, Israeli criminal courts are far harsher on Jews who inter their country than any other nation on Earth

Jewhater scum like you, who donate money to known terrorist groups and attempt to subvert non-Muslim countries politically are the 5th column, spreading hate and death. Fuck you.

Good God I hate ignorance!!! I would’ve spent some of my precious time explaining to you what Jihad really means and that Islam doesn’t encourage killing and that any moron in this world worth 5 cents knows very damn well that 2 billion people wouldn’t convert to a religion that has a God asking people to kill innocents but bah, why bother?

Read people READ! on February 20, 2007 at 02:16 pm

Correct, mispace troll. You really do need to learn to read and rid yourself of all your ignorance. Try starting with the Qu’ran. You can purchase one at any mid-level book store. Hell, I believe Wal-Mart sells them. Come back with a clue and I may explain to you that it is not ALL Muslims that need smashed, only a small fraction of hate-filled, deathworshipping fucks who are subverting Islam to the will of Satan.

Want the majority of Islam to not be tarred with that large brush? Then more of them need to step up and wipe out the terrorists in their midst. Spend their 5 cents, as it were.
