Counterjihad in Tulsa: Jamal Miftah’s lawsuit moves forward
Michael Bates posts excellent news from T-Town: Jamal Miftah’s lawsuit against the Tulsa Islamic Center has survived a motion to dismiss, and is proceeding.
If you’re not familiar with the Miftah matter, you ought to be. This is a matter of radical Islam attempting to shut up its critics and even inviting violence against them. Here’s a Vent by Erick Stakelbeck that lays out the case.
Basically, Miftah wrote an op-ed in the Tulsa World (you can read it here) about how Islam should condemn Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, and his mosque kicked him out–and assaulted him, and branded him an apostate “traitor to Islam”, effectively inviting jihadi violence against him.
And that’s not a stretch, either. Here are two comments that appeared on a post about Miftah at Junkyard Blog, both from Islamabad IP addresses:
This message is for the leader of the mosque in Tulsa. criticizing Ayman al-Zawahiri is not easy to live with, kick jamal out of USA as soon as posible. Mr. Jamal This is our promise to you,that you will be kicked out of USA very soon as we have kicked you out from the mosque. Jamal you will not be spared at any stage. we will suport every man who is trying to kick you out from usa. Dear Amam of the mosque get him as quick as possible.

To the leaders of the mosque give serious attention to this message. Ayman al-Zawahri and other al-Qaeda leaders are mujaheden and talking against them makes jamal the enemy of islam and killing this enemy is as Jahad as its is in Islam, get him we will pay you the price.

Miftah is one of a tiny minority of actual moderate muslims who have the courage to stand up against radical Islam. For Mr. Miftah, Islam actually does mean peace. In fact, Jamal Miftah is a far better ambassador for his faith than the entire collection of professional whiners at CAIR.
I hope he and his family apply for asylum and stay in America–and consider joining us as citizens. I also wish him well with his lawsuit–see, I have this theory that the discovery process of civil lawsuits against groups like CAIR and Saudi-supported mosques will turn up all kinds of interesting information that bloggers and investigative journalists will enjoy sifting through.
It’s like lawfare in reverse.
There are court documents and a link to more background on the case at the Batesline link up top.

Good luck to you Jamal Miftah.
I join many fellow Okie’s in saying a prayer for your safety.
Thanks see-dubya for reinforcing my current perception of the religion of pieces towards a real moderate member of Islam. It appears to be a good Muslim one has to be an enemy of all this nation stands for. I hope Mr. Miftah’s wins a large award from his lawsuit against this fifth column festering and growing in Tulsa. Here’s hoping him the best!
Another Okie, offering my wishes and prayers for your safety. I admire your courage.!!
The fact that there is a Tulsa Islamic Center tells me that we are a nation asleep.
I admire Miftah’s courage to a point. The use of the term ‘moderate’ implies that there is something inherently un-moderate in Islam.
Good luck Miftah . . .you’re going to need it whether you maintain your misguided devotion or recognize the inherent flaw in your doctrine and apostasize. Islamic scripture works against you.
We have been innundated with the argument that not all Muslims believe in the radical interpretations of the Quran, and that “it” is a loving, beautiful, and peaceful religion.
Now, we have an American-based Mosque whose members we were led to believe were “typical” Muslims. Are they not now displaying characteristics of the terrorists radical Muslim ideology?
If this is true, then why are it’s members still allowed to live in the US? It’s obvious to me who wants to live in peace, and it sure isn’t the Imam and his followers/supporters in the Tulsa mosque!
What a term…the fact that Radical anti-Americanism got anywhere is a fact that this nation is deluded beyond belief.
We need more people of courage like Miftah and Kromberg:

Godspeed, Mr. Miftah. May Jehovah-Shalom watch over you and your family as you stand against these evil people.
Well, MM, I wish I had your optimistic outlook on this. I’ve been disheartened by the ruling in Michael Savage’s lawsuit. Still, the RICO action can be resurrected and that should turn up some great dirt, to be sure.
As I pray for Savage’s success, I’ll certainly be praying for Miftah’s safety.
Good luck to you, Mr. Miftah. Be safe, stay courageous.
Here in the Eastern Oklahoma press, the World and on early morning, Tulsa radio shows, Mr. Miftah is receiving tremendous support, as well he should.
Even my local McAlester, Ok. paper has had supportive editorials for Miftah and his countersuit.
Gawd, we could use some good positive, judicial reinforcement against the jihad.
You must all come to worship in peace with us—-or we must kill you.
Would somebody please translate the constitution into farsi.
Good luck to you, Mr. Miftah. I agree with you that the Muslim community itself must rise up and loudly condemn the animals hiding behind your religion to commit murder and mayhem. Until that happens, however, the lack of opposition and outrage from Islamic leadership and their followers will continue to feed the image of quiet complicity. Hold your ground and keep speaking out.
Jamal Miftah
ok quick! name 4 more that denounce radical islam…..
Chirp
I just wish everyone would just stuff their aggressions and religiosity. There’s more that binds us (human consciousness) than sets us apart. If not for the ego and emotional cargo I’m sure that there are lots of great ideas to be discussed.
Good Luck Jamal Miftah. From John in Claremore, OK.
Fight Mr. Miftah!
Oklahoma won’t tolerate jihad. Jihadists ain’t seen nothing yet. They picked the wrong guy and wrong area to mess with.
Here’s the other three:

I woke to this headline. And liberals do not think the MSM is biased!
Bush OKs Execution of Army Private
The truth:
Ronald A. Gray, a former Army cook convicted of multiple rapes and murders.
So, Bush
OK’s the executiondoes not commute the death sentence of a mass rapist and murder but the headline is set up to get a reaction to people with BDS. NOOOOOOO, not biased. SHEEESHI’m afraid that Mr. Miftah may be one of the last people on earth to realize just what the Koran preaches: death to those who don’t idolize the great pedophile, mohamed. I hope he opens his eyes to this. He seems like an honest man.
OT-
See-Dubya,
Check this out, and you thought they were just being meanies to the bacon wrapped hot doggers. lol

C-Dub…do you have a tip line e-mail for items to be sent to you?
Jamal Miftah may be that moderate mohammedan so many have been looking for but let us not delude ourselves into believing there is some great upwelling of moderation in these people. It is their religion, prophet’s teachings and culture that calls for jihad, war, and would allow many to appear moderate until the time was right to hit us again.
While I wish Jamal Miftah himself well the mohammedans do not belong here. Nor do we belong over there. The UK may well have lost Londonistan, let us not repeat that mistake. But we may have a Dearbornistan already.

was reading about this on fox, soap…according to the article, he signed off on a request from the military to execute the offender. Just wanted to make sure it was on point.
Story can be found here.
As per the Uniform Code of Military Justice the President, as Commander in Chief, must approve and order an execution of convicted military personel.
And this has what to do with

I find it interesting that none of this is reported in the local news outlets…thanks for keeping us Tulsans informed!
You folks there in Okie better continue to be bitter and hold tight to your bibles and your guns. Second amendment rights may soon become a way of life in our once great nation.
Tolerance of snake pits comes with a hight cost.
Can’t stand looking at that.
here is some interesting reading on Islam:
http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/general/gen_islam.aspx
Fifth column? Ok, imagine that its 1933 and the Bund is established here in America,. Try to pretend that WWII didn’t happen and instead of cracking down we let it fester and grow for thirty years. What would they have looked like how far in to our society would they have burrowed? That’s what we have regarding these islamists thirty years of islamist infiltration. This guy is part of the genuine, tiny minority of extremists, there are thousands of islamists here that want him and his family and friends dead. And he’s in grave danger as our guvment instead of cracking down has been busy playing down the problem. Yes, allowing it to fester and grow the worst thing they could have done. The islamists cannot handle these peaceful types it enrages them they cant control themselves its no coincidence that apostates, and that’s what they have labeled him for not following the tenets of islam, have to be killed they cannot allow the truth to come out. Stealth is what they must have along with cooperation from non muslim fifth columnists in order for the ideology to be perpetuated, it has always been so. The guvment if it were really serious about fighting the extremists would be reaching out, assisting in any way people like Mr. Miftah before the islamists rub them out. Everytime one of this tiny minority expresses their views and is killed tens maybe hundreds or more are silenced through fear. The FBI should know this how come I feel like I have to tell them?
As I am comparing/equating the camel driver to the cartoon character Allie OOP OOP I feel safe. But just for now I’ll strike it.
And swmbo my pistol is like my MasterCard…
I don’t leave home without it.
Second Amendment: Protector of the rest.

Another Okie here (transplated to NYC)- I’m from Tulsa- where is this Islamic center? Does Billy Joe and Sharon know about it?
Lemme tell you- there’s a church on every corner, right across from the QuikTrip. Okies don’t take too kindly to people like these extremeist muslims. Not a bit.
The liberals in Oklahoma only think they’re liberals. I have this conversation with my dad alot, he thinks he’s a liberal. He has no idea- he should visit NYC or the Left Coast sometime. But as liberal as he wants to be, he would never support these muslims, and would put his support behind this lawsuit. (He also isn’t for amnesty or abortions and does support off-shore drilling…that’s why I tell him he can’t be as liberal as he thinks.)
At any rate, Okies are pretty tolerant people. They don’t mess with you if you don’t mess with them. Sort of like a bees nest. But go on and screw with their way of life. You’ll get stung. Don’t forget Tulsa’s history in 1929, either. Not saying that’s what’s going to happen, but Tulsa isn’t about sitting around feeling bad about the past, and they have no qualms about putting people in their place.
Why would these muslims pick Tulsa, anyway? Do you have ANY idea how many PROUD INFIDELS are in Tulsa?
ISLAMIC CENTER in Tulsa??? I lived there briefly 20 years ago, no significant MUSLIM presence back then… 20 years, an ISLAMIC CENTER… And these RADICALS say they will take over the world, if it takes 1,000 years… If we do not get our HEADS out of our HINEYS, it won’t take 1,000 years…
You just keep dragging those knuckles ArizonaNeaderthal, I like the way you think. My gun has been know to tag along with me too even tho I live in a Nanny State. (Illinois) Bet HelmetHead’s guards have them so why can’t I?
Here is an excellent one
ok let me try that again:
here
Check the Mosque in Tulsa for weapons, and hate speech towards this country. If found destroy said Mosque, and bill the State Department.
Forget that. Put me in charge, and get the hell out of the way!
