Virginia Coalition Fight Expansion Of Saudi Academy
A holy war is brewing in Virginia, where a controversial Islamic school is seeking permission to expand its campus and a group of residents is going all out to stop it.
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing Monday night to consider a proposal to expand the campus of the Islamic Saudi Academy, a Saudi-owned college preparatory school.
Critics of the plan point to former students of the school who have been convicted in a plot to assassinate former President Bush, and more recently, arrested for trying to board an airplane with a seven-inch kitchen knife.
And others say they oppose the move to expand the school for one reason only:
“We’re opposed to the operation of the Islamic Saudi Academy because it teaches and practices Shariah law,” said James Lafferty, chairman of the Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force (VAST). “Shariah law is anti-constitutional and we feel that it is the ultimate improper land use here in the state where the Constitution was created.”
Lafferty said his organization is a coalition with roughly 10 other groups that oppose the land-use expansion. By teaching Shariah law, Lafferty says, the school replaces the U.S. Constitution with a “very backward and barbaric” rule of law.
“Shariah law advocates rights via gender and religion,” Lafferty told FOXNews.com. “They allocate rights by gender and religion. If you are a male who is Islamic, you have rights. If you’re not, you have no rights.”
Founded in 1984, the Islamic Saudi Academy seeks to “enable students to excel academically while maintaining the values of Islam and proficiency with the Arabic language,” according to its Web site.
Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, the school’s valedictorian in 1999, was convicted in November 2005 of joining Al Qaeda and plotting to assassinate President Bush. He was later sentenced to 30 years in prison.
More recently, Raed Abdul-Rahman Al-Saif, who reportedly graduated from the school in 2003, was arrested last month at a Florida airport when he allegedly tried to board a plane while in possession of a seven-inch kitchen knife.
Details of the proposed expansion remained unclear, but the proposal seeks to expand the school’s grounds from 20 acres to 34, county officials told FOXNews.com. Calls to the school were not immediately returned.
Fairfax County Supervisor Pat Herrity announced at the beginning of Monday night’s hearing that no vote would be taken and that the record would be kept open to allow comment from those not in attendance.
Any vote on the proposal will occur — at the earliest — during the scheduled next board meeting on Aug. 3, Merni Fitzgerald, director of public affairs for Fairfax County, told FOXNews.com late Monday.
A total of 46 people have indicated they plan to speak during Monday’s hearing, Fitzgerald said.

Here’s something to do…
Pat, et al, get all those pictures I have seen posted here, the ones where Muslim women are being stoned, genitally mutilated, beaten, etc. and begin sending them via email, snail mail, to the school, religious groups, politicians etc in the VA area. Make sure they are verifiable.
Maybe a billboard?
I am sure I have heard of a few films that depict the sort of violence towards women that Islam espouses through Sharia Law.
Make it personal.
Make fence sitters and ‘progressives’ visualize their wives, daughters and grand daughters under Sharia Law.
Okay, here’s my idea for a commercial spot…
A series of ads based on the theme: This is the Face of Sharia Law.
Open with that line: This is the face of Sharia Law
Either a still picture of a girl being mutilated or the sound (if available) with either an Imam speaking on the subject with subtitles OR selections from the law itself defining the process and defending it. (I remember stuff on Jihadwatch.org (?))
Then the face of random American children with the sounds of screaming in the background or a quote (verbal) of someone explaining what should be done to ‘uppity’ women.
Powerful enough?
I know there is some DVD that someone found for sale in a Mosque (in their bookstore) that described how and why to genitally mutilate girls.
There was also video of that girl being gang raped in Afghanistan by the village elders during the reign of the Taliban. (wasn’t it? I remember it being mentioned in a long past post, Pat).
People need to see this and we should show them.
A very good idea. The muzzies are really good at floating the whole “religion of peace” bullshit, but can’t defend their porch monkey religion once its hideous side is exposed.
It sickens me that this stone age bullshit has found a nest in Virginia. (I could understand this happening in California…but Virginia?!)
Northern Va sadly,has become very much like yuppifornia.That part of the state is another planet compared to the rest of it.
I was there, big time illegal mexican population in Northern Virginia, that’s why it’s turning blue
The place pictured above with all the terrorists wraped in bedsheets is just dying for some nape.
Why not let Billy Bob and Bubba loose to teach them some Old Fashion Religion?
It’s because Billy Bob and Bubba are afraid. It’s a big difference between talking the talk and walking the walk. It’s a lot easier chanting slogans like “from my cold dead hands’ then to actually go out and take up arms. That’s what seperates us from our forefathers.
For Now
Billy Bob and Bubba would get their asses kicked.
If anyone were to assault a muzzie indoctrination center in this country, the Saudis would finance tens of millions of dollars in PR and lawsuits, the Feds would fall all over themselves to label everyone involved a “terrorist,” and the publicity would make Columbine look like a slow news day.
Much as it would be fun to read about, it would be counterproductive in the extreme.
Now…if another 9/11 were to occur, that’s a different kettle of fish completely.
If we allow this then we are no longer a nation. Shariah law should not, WILL NOT, be allowed to exist in this great Country. So far not one feminist groups has not complain about Shariah law yet for they know if they demonstrate in Saudi they will either be beaten or possibly have their head cut off. This school needs to be shut down for good if what the article above is saying is true. Have we forgotten about Jim Jones town? In this scenario that school will be the staging area from terrorist attacks in America! I guess time will tell and I hope to God that this does not happen.
Do not expect left wing groups to come to your aid. When 9/11 happened The left used the distraction of terrorism to push their socialist agenda, Remember
As long as we have kingdoms on the Constitutionalists side of the equation, instead of Uniting under a grand coalition we are doomed to fail.
Unite or Die is not a silly platitude
What can a farmer in Kansas do to help squash this movemnt in Virginia?
A farmer in Kansas can call a Virginia Representative in the area of concern, expressing your displeasure with the school. You may need to lie, say you live in Reston, Virginia 20191 or Chantilly, VA 20151.
Talk to your friends about what Sharia Law is. Educate yourself and educate others.
Can you put together a UTube video? Do you have access to people who could put together a commercial or ad?
How about this ad:
“Farmers of Kansas, this is the face of Sharia Law.
Do farmers of Kansas love their daughters, wives, sisters and grand daughters less than those of VA?”
I think not.
We are all Americans. KS and VA are just letters. You want to chant witty slogans at a Chiefs game? Fine.
When it all comes down to it, a girl who is stoned in VA should hurt farmers in KS too. Life is not the Red Sox or the Angels, the Celtics or the ‘Sixers’. It is US, U.S., together.
The US Constitution and Sharia Law are INCOMPATIBLE. Period.
We are all in this together or we will all die separately.
Than put one together, don’t tell us to do it. My suggestion is immediate while hearings are ongoing.
Why are you being such a confrontational prick to the Farmer in Kansas? He just wants to know what to do ! You come up with all these sports bullshit analogies stop attributing your crap to what he is thinking. I think your some kind of pseudo intellectual, well meaning but annoying as hell
Sassy: I wasn’t being confrontational I was trying to be motivational. I gave ideas on what to do not ‘platitudes’ about the merits of carry capacity of magazines and the applications of napalm.
Apparently I don’t have a well stocked armory and a squadron of Delta at my beck and call. If you do, go for it. I gotta work with what I have at hand and my mind is about it, right now.
Anyone wanna loan me the bucks to make a commercial? Shall I reinvent the wheel for you, Sassy, so I can prove to you what kind of man I am?
I have been walking the walk and talking the talk to the best of my ability and within the limits of my resources since the 1970s. Ask me where I was in April, 1992 then aim your razor edged wit at the enemy, not me.
If I am annoying, stop responding to me and start doing stuff. Show me up!
Calling me a pseudo intellectual might feel good across the tongue and lure you into thinking your impecable vocab merits you the ability to cross intellectual swords with me but I am pretty sure you could not.
Follow your own advice, Sassy, and why don’t you make a commercial or educate yourself or talk to friends or get asked to leave three Starbucks for picking intellectual fights with real pseudo intellectuals or sport full sized bumper stickers calling Obama a liar whilst driving through Murderpan or Roxbury. I take the fight to the people not merely snarling on web posts.
Sadly, I work with kids and talk of ‘nape-ing’ a room full of women doesn’t go over very well with the 9-12 set. Calling a fourteen year old a faggot doesn’t get my point across when I am trying to get them to think about why they believe the way they do. Maybe that would work in the bars you frequent but, sadly, I spend most of my time in the classroom.
DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, WHERE YOU ARE.
Are we going to do more than tear at ourselves because no one is quite willing to actually ‘nape’ a bunch of bed sheet wearing slaves of Allah because true Americans realize how wrong that would be?
We should be on the same side, doing what we can do with what we have. I apologize for my resources and contacts being less than yours.
Like others, I too am getting my fill of talking.
Stop snarling at me, Sassy and put up or shut up.
So, again, Farmer in KS, I was being motivational.
And to the rest of you, be careful whom you pick fights with. The enemy smiles when we turn our efforts on each other.
GOD DAMNIT!
Okay, I have to go and sit with a dining hall full of 9-16 year olds and eat lunch and smile.
Or would you rather I have them shitting themselves?
Have a fucking nice God Damned day!
Not taking the Starbucks challenge. I have a dependency on Iced Grande Soy Lattes..I confess.
Tim
I also educate myself by reading relevant books etc. I won’t get in a pissing match over who does what and my dad can beat up your dad stuff. I understand what you are attempting to do. One problem with the written word, if your not a pro is no voice inflection or facial expressions. Too me you came off confrontational, I know I did. I don’t think you motivate people by slamming, what you may percieve as outside entertainment and hobbies, that you have no idea if that’s what they do for fun.
I do and have put up
I agree with your main principles, I just do not get the way you attempt to motivate people.
Tim I don’t know what to say, I guess thanks for the great ideas. I would point out that in general Kansan’s love their families, and sports are important especially to those of us in farming communities in the west. Don’t go to the Chiefs games its a seven hour drive, but I did watch the Jayhawks beat the HOokies in the orange bowl.
Guess I’ll just grow wheat and raise cattle and let the 29th. division take care of Virginia.
Bman: I guess I failed.
Let me try again.
There are things you can do. I and others can only suggest stuff but what you do is directly related to what you are willing to do and what you can do.
I just spent thirty minutes at a table with 7 12 -14 year old campers and two staff (one from Ireland) and dicussed the Sotomayor hearings.
Two of the 14 year olds agreed with me that what Sotomayor said about wise Latina’s was wrong and provided the answer - that judges should say things like that.
Do what you can with what you have.
Talk to your fellow Kansas-ians. Educate yourself and by doing so, others.
InterState Rivalry is okay for sports but in a situation like this, where Sharia Law threatens us all, we are all Americans.
Oops: Judges SHOULDN’T say things like that.
Theo Van Gogh made a short video of “Possession”; about the genital mututations of women. I’ts very graphic but needs to be seen. He was stabbed to death by a lunatic muslim on a street in Denmark;
Also the film “Fitna” by Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician has to live with bodyguards 27/7 after making this film. This one can be seen on Atlas Shrugs.
These schools are funded with Saudi money. The one in VA was recently investigated and the authorities tried to shut it down. The hat filled text books they use teaches how to kill infidels and Jews and target their businesses.
The video “Possession” is no longer available here but you can download it:

Sybil, the video is no longer available.

I have an article about the progression of Islam and/or stealth jihad once they immigrate to a non-muslim country; available on request.
We all need each in these fight.
Right; whatever, anything, just one small action,we can do. This is much more serious than we can even begin to realize.
