VERSE OF THE DAY: WISDOM IS A GREAT WEALTH - TOP
"Satan threatens you with poverty and prompts you to commit what is
indecent, while God promises you His forgiveness and bounties ... He grants
wisdom to whom He pleases; and whoever is granted wisdom is indeed given a
great wealth."
The Holy Quran, 2:268-269

CNN'S ANDERSON COOPER EXPOSES ISLAM-BASHER WALID SHOEBAT - TOP
Anderson Cooper 360, 7/13/11, 10 p.m. ET
Join us for a special investigative report about a self-proclaimed former
Islamic terrorist who is making good money from American taxpayers with a story
that just doesn't add up. (More)

Walid Shoebat had a blunt message for the roughly 300 South Dakota police
officers and sheriff's deputies who gathered to hear him warn about the dangers
of Islamic radicalism.
Terrorism and Islam are inseparable, he tells them. All U.S. mosques
should be under scrutiny.
"All Islamic organizations in America should be the No. 1 enemy. All of
them," he says.
It's a message Shoebat is selling based on his own background as a
Palestinian-American convert to conservative Christianity. Born in the West
Bank, the son of an American mother, he says he was a Palestinian Liberation
Organization terrorist in his youth who helped firebomb an Israeli bank in
Bethlehem and spent time in an Israeli jail.
That billing helps him land speaking engagements like a May event in
Rapid City -- a forum put on by the state Office of Homeland Security, which
paid Shoebat $5,000 for the appearance. He's a darling on the church and
university lecture circuit, with his speeches, books and video sales bringing
in $500,000-plus in 2009, according to tax records.
"Being an ex-terrorist myself is to understand the mindset of a terrorist,"
Shoebat told CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."
But CNN reporters in the United States, Israel and the Palestinian
territories found no evidence that would support that biography. Neither
Shoebat nor his business partner provided any proof of Shoebat's involvement in
terrorism, despite repeated requests. (More)

CAIR: L.A. SHERIFF REACHES OUT TO MUSLIMS AS FEDS INCREASE SURVEILLANCE -
TOP
Ruxandra Guidi, KPBS, 7/13/2011
SAN DIEGO -- On a weekday morning, a group of businessmen, scholars,
residents and a sheriff’s deputy meet for coffee and eggs in the basement of a
mosque, near downtown Los Angeles. They're the Muslim American Homeland
Security Congress, locals who want to shape the way counter-terrorism works in
their community.
On the agenda this morning, is an invitation to L.A. County Sheriff Lee
Baca for Ramadan services, which start in early August. Baca has reached
rock-star status here, after he founded this group six years ago.
Sitting in his office in the eastern edge of the city, Baca does not
appear cop-like in the least bit—he’s thin and gentle in his demeanor.
"Someone has to stick their neck out to defend Muslims," said Baca. "We
wanted to get ahead of the predictable problems that all counties face in
America and that is, work closely with the immigrant public, which is a very
big part of L.A." (More)
