AMERICA WILL BE THE JURY
by Leonard Magruder

"Mr. Magruder.
After reviewing the articles... I will forward them on to the Associated Press.
Dennis Anderson - Managing Editor - ''The Lawrence Journal-World.' "

It is certain that the Associated Press buried the material., which deals with the Geert Wilders trial in the Netherlands. The Associated Press is not the only media deliberately keeping this issue from the American people. An examination of our two national newspapers, "The New York Times",and "U.S.A. Today" at the library today shows that they also are involved in this conspiracy of silence. If they didn't mention it it is certain that your local paper had no mention of it either.

Here is what was sent to the Associated Press

STUDENTS EVERYWHERE ! - WATCH THE FILM - MARCH FOR GEERT WILDERS !

In light of the opening this week of the trial of the Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders we are re-issuing, so that students will have the background to this issue, our two articles supporting Geert Wilders of April 12, 2008, and Feb.23, 2009. We call upon students everywhere to watch the film,"Fitna", then march in protest against this outrage, Muslims trying to keep us quiet about their crimes.

our article of Feb. 23, 2009

MEDIA AND ACADEMIC MYTHS ABOUT ISLAM TO BE EXPOSED

"Magruder renews call for grass-roots uprising against media and academic cover-up. Urges civic, veteran, student, and church groups to show "Fitna", similar films, share books, resources, showing the link between the Koran and terrorism. Receives support from important groups:

"I support your efforts to awaken the West to the dangers presented by Islam. It is all too clear that war has been declared along with the religious "justifications" and that Western leaders refuse to acknowledge that fact."

Peter Gadiel
President
9/11 Families for a Secure America

"Some may think the article below is radical - I am not one of them. - we need to act now and let the enemy know what the stakes are."

Mr. Giles Crider
Chief of Staff
Center for Domestic Preparedness
Department of Homeland Security.

Our first article supporting Geert Wilders was posted on WMDterror.com on April 12, 2008. It was uniformly suppressed by the media and the issue went off the radar screen. But this week Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly brought the issue back by interviewing Wilders, who is currently visiting the United States where his film will be shown to Congress by Senator Kyle..

Here are a few quotes from the Koran, including some used by Wilders in his film arguing that the Koran is the "root cause" of terrorism. How can there possibly be any confusion ?

47.4 When you meet the unbelievers in battle strike off their heads.
98.6 The unbelievers among the People of the Book, Christian and Jews, and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of creatures.
5.60 God has cursed the Jews, transforming them into apes and swine. and those who serve the devil.
5.33 Those who make war against Allah and his Apostle shall be put to death or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides.
9:5 Kill those who join other gods with God (the Trinity) wherever you may find them .
8:12 I will instill terror into the hearts of the Infidels , strike off the heads then, and strike off from them every fingertip.
9:111 Allah has purchased of their faithful lives and worldly goods and in return has promised them the Garden. They will fight for his cause, kill and be killed.

Sura 9:5 "Then when the sacred months are over, kill the idolaters wherever you find them, take them captive, besiege them , and lie in wait for them at every point of observation."

This verse is the most important verse on the subject of jihad. Usually called "The Verse of the Sword" it voids or "abrogates" all other verses in the Koran on the subject of war and peace. Later Muslim jurists across the centuries would use this verse to proclaim a universal and murderous 'jihad' against all non - Muslims. The revival of this is what we are seeing today.

Our article announcing and supporting "Fitna" on April 12, 2008 -

SLEEPWALKING TOWARDS THE ABYSS

Dutch Film Exposes Worldwide Delusions About Islam .

Abul Kasem, an ex-Muslim who is the author of several books on Islam wrote this about "Fitna." "It lays the full blame of Islamic atrocities to the fount of Islam, the Koran. Anyone viewing this film will have no doubt that Islamist terrorism is the result of the Koran in action. Geert Wilders has demonstrated very precisely what has plagued the world for many years and why the Jihadists are doing what they are doing. He did not present anything original. He merely re-stated the contents of the Koran, forcefully depicting ,with true pictures, those verses in action."

Said another convert recently in a FrontPageMagazine interview:

"We forget that Islamist terrorism is the direct result of the stipulations of the Koran, Sunna, and Sharia. If we read the exegeses of the Koran by eminent scholars of Islam, such as ibn Abbas, Jalalyn, ibn Kathir, Tabari, Maulana Maududi, Hilali and Khan, we find that none of them differ from the doctrinal bases of al-Qaeda. The reality is: the Koran firmly backs up the terror, murder, loot and barbarism of the jihadists. These jihadists are doing exactly what the Koran asks them to do. No Imam or a scholar of Islam has, so far, issued any fatwa condemning al-Qaeda and/or repudiating its scriptural bases for attacking the un-Islamic world."

Our media and universities are once again robbing the American people of the ability to make critical judgements about their most vital security interests in a time of war, just as they did during the Vietnam War. Wilders is telling the world the truth. The issue is documented and clearly posed. This is a defining moment in world history. The world either understands that Islam is the enemy, or it presents its head in silence as the terrorists do their work.

Today

first - this item on the Internet:

Geert Wilders’ trial goes unreported by BBC
Thursday 21st January 2010 11:14
Freedom of speech is on trial in the Netherlands in a test case for Europe.
Geert Wilders’ trial began yesterday with this speech, yet this important trial has gone completely unreported on the BBC.

then - from Radio Netherlands:

In the latest news on the trial , the court restricted the list of 18 witnesses which Wilders had asked to be heard to only three people: the Dutch Arabists Jansen and Admiraal, plus Wafa Sultan. Robert Spencer will not be heard. Mr. Wilders, through his lawyer Bram Moszkowicz,
had requested that 18 witnesses testify as part of his defense against chargesthat include inciting hatred of Muslims and non-western immigrants. Among others, Mr Wilders had asked that Mohammed Bouyeri, the convicted murderer of Theo van Gogh, be called as a expert witness. The judges, however, will not allow Bouyeri to testify. They have also ruled that other 'Muslim extremists' on Mr Wilders'
'wishlist' will not be allowed to testify. The list includes Fawaz Jneid, imam
at the Soennah Mosque in The Hague, and Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, chairman of the Guardian Council in Iran .Mr Wilders will be permitted to call three experts on Islam, out of the total of eight he had actually asked for. However, two ex-Muslims called by his defense team - in part
to give their personal view about the impact of Islam - were also rejected.

Wilders was visibly displeased with the rulings of the court,. Reacting to the rulings later, Mr Wilders told journalists outside the courtroom, "This court doesn't seem to be interested in the truth. I can only conclude that the court is not going to let me have a fair trial.."

That is obvious.
--------------------------

Therefore, in light of a cover-up that extends from "The New York Times" to a court in the Netherlands I am starting a group of concerned citizens in Lawrence, Kansas, to look into the charges being made by Geert Wilders that the Koran is the true "root cause " of terrorism. The reason I am concerned is because, based on extensive research, I have been reporting the same thing in numerous articles since July 31, 2003. I would like to get twelve persons in a jury to examine the evidence, and share our verdict through a press release with communities all over the U.S. urging them to also start looking into the matter.We have seven members, we need five more. America will be the jury. If our media and our professors have been leading us in the wrong direction, we need to know about it now.

According to an item in "U.S.A. Today," "al-Qaeda can be expected to attempt an attack on the U.S. in the next three to six months ,CIA Director Leona Panetta told Congress." If, as Wilders says, this comes, not from "extremists who have hijacked a peaceful religion ", but from the teachings of Islam itself, we need to know this now as this would call for a radically new strategic stance regarding the Muslim world.

President Obama can then do what must be done. Warn the world that there is something wrong, something sub-moral and a threat to humanity about Islam. That it poses a threat to the entire non-Muslim world, and therefore he is issuing a warning to the Muslim world that any attack on America will be met with catastrophic retaliation against any Muslim nation known, or even suspected, to be harboring, or supporting, terrorists on their soil.

The bookstore Signs of Life here in Lawrence has said we can use their nice conference room. I will give an introductory overview of the issue and bring along some of the materials that are available on this subject. Our recommendations as to materials useful for an examination of this issue can be seen below. We will all do research, reading, ,and then discuss and report on our verdict to the nation. I'm thinking 7 p.m. on Friday night might work best for all. Please send me an e-mail if you would like to join the group.

We will share our conclusions not only by way of our extensive e-mail distributions throughout America, and Press Box thoughout the United Kingdom, but also by reaching all major radio, television, and newswires through Congress.org. Our best hope here will be Fox News. Groups elsewhere in America can send their verdicts on this matter to us at Magruder44@aol.com and collected, they will be reported back to the nation.
One newspaper that has written on the issue is "The Wall Street Journal."

STOP THE TRIAL OF GEERT WILDERS.

By Leonae Winter
Wall Street Journal
January 26, 2010

"What started as a trial against Geert Wilders for alleged Islamophobia has nearly turned into its opposite: a historical case about the message of the Koran. The Amsterdam court trying the controversial Dutch politician is now preoccupied with the question of whether this book, the Koran, sacred to more than a billion believers, can be compared to one of the most vile publications in the history of Western civilization—Hitler's "Mein Kampf."
In his writing and speeches, Mr. Wilders has found these two works to be similar in terms of their anti-Semitism and incitement to hatred, and has thus called for a publishing ban on the Koran similar to the one in place for "Mein Kampf." The Dutch politician insists his focus is on radical Islam and the Koran, which he considers to be not only a religious text but also a political pamphlet encouraging Muslims to discriminate against and, if necessary, kill Jews, Christians, apostates and other unbelievers. That's why Mr. Wilders claims the right to criticize and condemn Islam.(see our recent article at wmdterror.com, "A Terrible Silence.")

On trial is not so much Geert Wilders, but the Holy Book of Islam. On Jan. 20, the first day of the case, Mr. Wilders's defense team presented the court with a list of expert witnesses, a group of internationally renowned academics on the one hand and, on the other, radical Islamists (among them Mohammed Bouyeri, the killer of Theo van Gogh, and the influential Iranian Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi, an outspoken anti-Semite and religious mentor of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinedjad) are requested to testify about the Koran's message and Mr. Wilders's comparison of the Koran to "Mein Kampf." (Bouyeri is already on record as saying, "the Koran compels me to chop off the head of anyone one who insults Allah and the prophet.") As Mr. Wilders stated on the first and, so far only, session in court, if his statements about the Koran and "Mein Kampf" are correct, he cannot be convicted for telling the truth."
---------------------------------------------------------

The boycott of this issue is just the latest example of what German Munoz, Professor of International Relations at Miami Dade College said some time ago, but we continue to quote as it seems to clearly sum up the issue:
:
"The story being missed, or purposively kept away from the American people, is the direct connection between the actions of Muslim terrorists and the commands of Allah in the Koran. Our secularized elites do not want us to understand or discuss the religious base underlying the terrorists’ political agenda for world domination. If they would read the Koran they would see that Allah wants Muslims to kill the infidels (Koran 9:5) wherever they are found. That the heads and fingers of unbelievers should be cut off, and that Muslims should fight and humiliate Jews and Christians.
Why are the establishment media and academia keeping all this information from the American public? These are the types who sacrifice national security on the altar of political correctness and of a self-righteousness and irresponsible tolerance. They cannot be trusted to provide America the accurate information Americans need to protect themselves. These killers have not “hijacked” Islam as our elites argue absurdly. They are implementing verses found in the Koran itself."
----------------------------------------------

As Academic Advisor to two veteran organizations, Gathering of Eagles, in 21 states, and Veterans for Academic Freedom, at a college in California with 15,000 students,I urge both groups to join us in examining this issue and march on the campus with their conclusions. The generally left/liberal faculty on most of our campuses are keeping their students totally in the dark on this issue. As Felix Moos, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Kansas said recently on the front page of the local paper, "I find at K.U. that people are oblivious to the fact that we are at war."

Materials for group discussions Look up the films on Google, finding out how to get them, then show them in churches, civic organizations, veteran organizations, and, if possible, in school and on Public Access TV.
