Unwanted Invasion: Sharia Law Conference in Hartford

Coming to America?
Pray not!

For most of us, Memorial Day weekend is a sacred time to honor those men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their Country.  Since 1775, the rich tradition of the U.S. Armed Forces has served as a tool of Freedom- not just in the United States but around the world - ending tyranny, and toppling despots to foster Democracy, and to a lesser extent republicanism.  Memorial Day is a clear reminder that thousands of Americans have given their lives for Liberty on behalf of all people regardless of race, color, or religious persuasion.  This is a stark contrast to the selfish hordes of extremists set to occupy our Connecticut Capitol City this weekend; those who thumb their noses at American Exceptionalism and our Western way of life in favor of a establishing a single Islamic authority over all Muslim-Americans.

Unfortunately, Hartford is currently hosting the 37th Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) carefully entitled Defending Religious Freedom: Understanding Shariah.  The underlying theme is the advancement of subversive Sharia Law in the United States, and includes all the workshops to empower their minions to recruit and convert the mindless, and the destitute to their extreme way of thinking.  It is ironic that such a conference, un-American in so many ways, is being held in Hartford, home of Connecticut's Founder Thomas Hooker - a Puritan who fled England to establish a Christian way of life free from tyranny, and corrupt Church orthodoxy.  To witness such an invasion by those who's thinking is contrary to free people is an outrage, and crime against civilized peoples.

One only has to look across the pond to merry old England to see the amount of damage that can be inflicted upon a western nation through the advancement of Sharia Law.  The United Kingdom is perfect example where a small foothold once established as a liberal courtesy has grown to wreck havoc on a once proud democratic society; extremists have turned the country's judicial system upside-down to the point where entire boroughs and neighborhoods stand outside of British law. In such places, an established sub- government exists (Sharia Muslim Council) which have indirect the authority to act, and my most reports have been able to supersede the UK's Government and laws (mostly by virtue of the UK Government turning a blind eye to it's rulings). 

Extremist Muslims love to talk about Religious Freedom except when it comes discussing the Judeo-Christian values which govern, and have contributed to our American Laws and Judicial process for over two centuries.  Muslim extremists have no interest in following Western Laws because they don't feel compelled to follow them.  Make no mistake, this not about the nice lady living next door who wears a Burka and says her prayers, it's about a real threat to our laws, traditions, and our way of life.  The religious freedom that Sharia demands is in direct conflict with civil liberties and basic freedoms which the U.S. Constitution affords all Americans.


Conservatives are sold on the horrors of Muslim Extremism including that of Sharia Law. Our politicians have long been on record pointing out its contradictions with American Constitutional Law and American Tradition.  Though its noteworthy that none of our nominated Connecticut politicians on either side of the aisle have to date been bold enough to take a public stand about this weekend's Sharia Conference.

Interestingly enough, the battle in the establishment of Sharia Law in America is the next true test of the legitimacy of so-called modern, American liberalism.  And I don't mean seeking their outrage over the banning of Lady Gaga from performing in public.  I want to know what feminists think about rolling back the clock to a point where women can be beaten for attending a book fair?  And what do liberal trial attorneys think about cutting off fingers as a punishment for petty theft?  Or far worse, what about honor killings that take the lives of women staying out too late at night? ICNA has made it very clear that Islam is above the law no matter what.  Where do liberals stand when it comes to acts of desecration and physical harm, or even murder in the name of Islam?  Any takers?  Or are you all hiding under rock waiting silently until the last plane leaves for Mecca? 

Hello?  Mister Opinionated, Mr. Never-Short-On-Words - Governor Dannel Malloy, are you out there?

Ah, yes.... Defending Religious Freedom? Sure, like evicting an entire congregation out of a Country for being Christian?  Thomas Hooker would roll over in his grave at the level of this hypocrisy.

No matter how Muslim Extremists want to package Sharia Law to the Hartford Media (note: the Hartford Courant's Editorial Board has been curiously silent on the visit), or to the National Press - it will be full of contradictions, and indignation about so-called misunderstandings of intent.  But there will be no talk of how Muslims plan to impose penalties for those who violate Sharia Law (like those linked to above), and no use of words like Infidel so-commonly uttered in Mosques to describe non-believers.  Instead, Convention Leaders will parade out terms like Islamaphobia, and try to make themselves out to be victims of religious and racial bigotry.  Luckily, most The King's View readers are smart enough not be be suckered into such baloney, and see this Convention for what it really is.

Here on this 2012 Memorial Day Weekend, instead of assimilating into American Culture and showing respect for America's fallen heroes, Muslims will turn inward - focused on themselves and their subversive cultural agenda - and working to undermine the very fabric of our nation which the rest of us will honor all weekend long.

And least I forget: God Bless those great American patriots who have given everything so that we can be free.  We are indebted to you and your families forever.

I AM

THE KING

Memorial Day Success in West Harford! Some thoughts on civilian losses in war, et al.

Hopefully, you attended the Memorial Day parade and ceremony on Monday. If you didn't, you missed something very special. The entire town - including all of the fabulous school bands, and groups marching down Farmington Avenue looked sharp and really made us all proud that we are residents of West Hartford. As I said in my previous post - Memorial Day is a day of remembrance, and a day to recognize the sacrifice that so many made in the name of freedom.

I recognize that many of the kids who marched, may not yet understand the nature of why we are celebrating and parading around town. But in time, they will grow up to comprehend it, and remember that they took part in honoring those who have gone before us and made the ultimate sacrifice. This is a good lesson that we teach our children; this is one holiday that should not be removed from the holiday schedule so that the school teacher's union members can get out a day earlier. (Pathetic idea to say the least). And no matter how hard they try, the schools just wouldn't do it justice - seeing, feeling, and listening to real veterans tell real stories is the real deal - let the kids walk amongst giants. Schools just wouldn't get it right.

My young daughter is only two years old, and she may not recollect all of the images she witnessed on Monday in her later years. But I did capture images of her at the parade on my modest Canon A520, and I will continue to bring her to Memorial Day parades and celebrations so that she may learn the value of what these men and women have done for us and for future generations.

The ceremony was also well conducted and solemn. I think it was very fitting to hear certain points regarding the sacrifice by civilians in war. One of the speakers made it a point to describe a tale of what the Atomic Bomb - launched by our Armed Forces on Hiroshima, Japan - did to the civilian population - relaying a story told by a visiting Japanese teacher regarding her family's escape from death and starvation by hiding under the bridge and consuming Saki to stay alive. Also, to be fair, the German War machine rained tens of thousands of bombs on London and her outlying areas - turning streets and homes to rubble, and killing thousands of innocent civilians. The same story can be told in many places, from Vietnam to Dresden, Germany.

Few escape the horrors of war when the battle rages on their homeland. During 9-11, I lost a fraternity brother who had one child who's wife was months away from giving birth to their second child. He was a civilian casualty of Bin Laden's mad dream. He had phoned his wife to tell her he was on his way down the stair to safety - but he never made it. The horror of it is surreal. While I wasn't close to him as both started families in different parts of the world, we still had our time together at UConn. And so the speech on Monday hit home and the point was poignant.

The purpose of the day is to get us to remember. So while the parade featured military veterans, bands, balloons, and old jalopies, it held special meaning for some of us who spent the rest of the day reflecting on what it all means, and how complicated war can be - including this one in Iraq - which everyone is sick to death of. But the balance between was is right and what is necessary is often blurred.

+

I have to say that the United States does engage in a lot of conflicts around the world - that much is true. But I also have to say that we do not start them, but often are called on to finish them. There is not easy answer to this, because if there were then it would be implemented and congress would be embroiled in arguments about health care and taxes and little else.

+

But the policies should not take away from the human element. No one signs up to die, and no one enlists to become a name on a grave marker. I think this is often lost in the discussion; and intentionally dismissed by those on the left, like Cindy Sheehan and Hillary Clinton, who invoke a soldier's misfortune for political gain. For that reason, I strongly dislike these people, and when I read stories like these, I'm angered by the self-centered mindset of some holier-than- thou people like Sheehan.

I need to end on a positive note with this posting. Monday was a fabulous day for West Hartford, and our veterans, parents, children and -- even our politicians managed to act respectful - for the most part and honored the crowd with thought-provoking commentary that didn't go over the top.

Thank you Veterans. And thank you families of veterans lost. Thank you for what you've endured, and for your sacrifice. And to the families of those civilians who were lost due to war - we mourn with you and share in your sorrow.

Most of us appreciate your loss, and we offer our respect and condolences on this Memorial Day in West Hartford.

Thoughts on Memorial Day in West Hartford & Parade Detail

West Hartford has consistently done an excellent job of celebrating Memorial Day over the years. And I'm sure that this year will be no exception.

+

Even the past years replays on our cable access channel (minus the speeches by Lil' Jonathan Harris) are worth viewing over and over again. One smiles at the children parading down Farmington Aveune carrying flags, feels respect for the older veterans decked out in WWII military uniforms as they ride in antique cars , and feels hearts sink as specific stories are retold at the podium behind West Hartford town hall of how men - we have known - have given their lives for this great country.

Memorial Day should be celebrated by all of us. From Bunker Hill to Iraq, Americans have given their lives in the cause of freedom - our freedom from tyranny and oppression, and madmen who would wish to see us and our western allies wiped off the face of the Earth.

+

Democracy has a price that is paid in blood and death, and will continue to be paid in blood and death as long as Democratic Republics exist and human beings never surrender the will to be free. Not everyone agrees or understands that war is a necessary evil. In fact there are those around us that simply cannot bridge the gap between war and freedom; many of these people are well meaning, but cannot grip the hard reality that violence and death are the necessary results of defending that freedom. Sadly, some will never get it. And those people are to be ignored.

+

Instead, we should focus on those men and woman who have gone before us. And celebrate their lives. And think on their ultimate sacrafice.

+

Men and woman who have given their lives for our country are our true heroes - not our sports team, hollywood idols, or politicians. They have given their lives - not so we can eat hotdogs and hamburgers once a year or attend a parade - but so we can live the way we do each and every day - 365 days a year. I've provided the parade information below. Please attend and pay homage to our true heroes, and remember.
