    UK DAILY MAIL
    BRITIAN: Revealed: Saudi women preaching hate in the British mosque that promised to clean up its act 18 months ago

    The Saudi Arabian preachers were secretly filmed ordering women to murder gays and ex-Muslims.

    Undercover reporters from Channel 4’s Dispatches recorded the lectures in the women’s section of Regent’s Park Mosque in London.

    An unnamed Saudi woman is seen mocking other religions – labelling Christianity ‘vile’ and an ‘abomination’. Another, known as ‘Angelique’, claims Britain is a ‘land of evil’.

    The investigators attended lectures for two months at the mosque, which had promised a clean-up after another Dispatches probe just 18 months ago exposed it for spreading extreme Islamic views.

    During one sermon, a woman called Um Amira says: ‘He is Muslim, and he gets out of Islam…what are we going to do? We kill him, kill, kill.’

    In the programme, to be screened tomorrow, she adds that women adulterers should be stoned to death and people who have sex before marriage should get ‘100 lashes’.

    Regent’s Park Mosque is one of the biggest and most prestigious Islamic institutions in the UK. Opened in 1944 by King George VI, it can hold up to 5,000 worshippers.

    After the 2007 Dispatches investigation, which also looked at mosques in Birmingham, West Midlands Police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) claimed Channel 4 had distorted sermons and tried to press charges.

    But watchdog Ofcom dismissed their findings and Channel 4 won six-figure libel damages from the police and CPS.

    This time, Dispatches returned to Regent’s Park Mosque to find exactly the same extremist books on sale there and the female preachers spreading radical Wahhabi Islam.

    One Saudi woman, who mocks other religions, says: ‘We feel nothing sometimes going past the church. What they say with their tongues is so vile and disgusting, it’s an abomination.’

    Another female preacher, Um Saleem, says it ‘breaks her heart’ to see Muslims ‘working in banks, wearing short sleeves…and make-up’.

    The man in charge of the mosque, Dr Ahmed Al Dubayan, is Islamic Affairs attaché to the Saudi Embassy. Dispatches claims the mosque has links to the Saudi government, which it accuses of spending billions spreading the Wahhabi message. The Saudi Embassy denied this.

    Dr Al Dubayan said he did not know the preachers in the documentary and claimed the mosque ‘does not support or condone extreme views’.

  3. nice way to get rid of the evidence alan. you are a scum bag and like any other leftist you conveniently erase embarrassments. for the first time in your life you show concern for the unborn and down the memory hole it goes.

  4. Comedy hour is here again :)

    I’m sure Alan will repost all the hateful spleen you and your fundie friends spewed up yesterday, Hole. We all need a laugh and what’s funnier than an army of zombies all fired up by the bushie telegraph to add their 2 cents worth to a site they never normally haunt.

    This dopey Palin woman either tried for a ‘fundie abortion’ (killing the baby ‘accidentally’ so she couldn’t be blamed) or her poor daughter went into labour inconveniently early and she had to improvise before rushing back to finish off the cover-up charade they had been playing out for months. Either way, it will come out and McCain will be looking for another VP by next week. My money’s on the mormon!

  5. I was hoping for Governor Palin to be chosen but did not believe it would happen. I made this video in tribute:

  6. What happened to the post titled “Did Palin Take Proper Pre-Natal Care?”

  7. I’ll tell you why you had technical difficulties, it was the flow of comments by people pissed off by your pre-natal care post. And they had every right to be.

    And John McKee… I don’t think there is any cure for your sickness. Because you are truly a sick and hateful man. Good luck with that.

  8. And/or the post got taken down because Alan knew it would probably effect his career. That post would be seen as terrible by anyone with a conscience.

  9. Hmmm, what part of the Federal Code addresses denial of service attacks? Let me see…..

  10. It’s right after the section that decrees that anyone who pulls the ethernet cable out of thier server so that someone who knows how to use a computer can delete a blog post that the Ministry of Truth says never existed is a coward.

  11. Well it looks like Alan couldn’t handle a little criticism and flushed his pre-natal care post down the virtual toilet, what a putz. Hey Alan isn’t it about time you grow a pair and man up and do the right and just apologize? Just about every right wing blogger I read would have left the post up with a huge apology and been done with it but no you gotta erase everything as if it didn’t even happen. Well Alan a lot of people know what you wrote and I’m sure a lot of us have lost whatever respect it was we might have had for your positions. Technical difficulties? What an ass.

  12. Hey Alan,

    Did the Obama people teach you how to send unflattering posts down the memory hole?

    Scumbag.

  13. Maine artist creates HOPE image decades after LOVE

  14. Be a man Alan. Either apologize or stand by your statement. Stop hiding behind the skirt.

  15. Alan….you are a fool and an idiot. You owe families who have special needs children a HUGE apology! How dare you?

  16. Few things are as they seem in Tehran

  17. If the dems were able to make the choice for you there would be no special needs children, they’d just abort or commit infanticide if that didn’t work.

  18. Hey Alan, just wait until Rush, Hannity, Levin, etal get a hold of this tomorrow. You’re so full of shit I bet you can use another asshole. LMAO!!!

  19. Congrats! Alan on getting your OB/GYN degree. Too bad you didn’t include a minor in Computer Science, you would know your classless little diatribe is now permanently on the internet.

    Why take it down anyway? If have quite a number of lefty lunatics posting here about it, to include smearing their daughter.

  20. Alan, You really do need to get a job at MSNBC. You are so qualified, and you would be such an asset. By the way, before you leave, you should apologize to Gov. Palin for your crude and uneducated remarks concerning her baby.

  21. Alan, you should immediately apologize for your analogy of what causes downs syndrome. You are an idiot and I really didn’t think that even you would stoop so low. Its all about chromosones you moran and Palin new she had an extra when she recieved her pre-natal testing. No amount of vitamins, rest and additional care can change your chromosone count. You should be ashamed of yourself. Feminist should be outraged…well maybe not because Palin has all her babies.

  22. Well, Alan, was it my comment that caused you to take down the post on Palin’s pre-natal care? Do you even have any active sperm to infect your wife with?

  23. Yes, Alan, why did you take the post down? Did you realize how disgusting you were being? Were you embarrassed? Perhaps an apology would be in order.

    You do understand that the memory hole of your post has been recorded, right?

  24. WTH dude?

  25. Too late, Alan. Screen caps of your absolutely vile piece on Palin’s pre-natal care, or lack thereof, are making the rounds. On Tuesday, you will be the laughing stock of the week.

    You aren’t even man enough to back up your vile innuendos about Gov. Palin; you aren’t even smart enough to know that everyone would know about you trying to cover your tracks.

    PUSSY!

    Liberalism truly is a mental illness.

  26. Please post another classy entry about how Gov. Palin should have had her downs baby butchered before birth and how its her fault the baby has downs. Stay classy “liberalland”

  27. This says it all about what a POS Alan Colmes is:

    http://wizbangblog.com/content/2008/08/31/you-stay-classy-alan-colmes.php

  28. Alan. As a mother of a child with special needs, and a former life time democrat…I plan to see to it that your story about Gov. Palin’s baby with Downs Syndrome makes it to the mainstream media. The American people need to know what the “new” “progressive” Democratic party now stands for….one word, scum.

  30. Alan Colmes a douchnozzle? Damn, who knew?

  31. Your hateful and unscientific attack on Palin and her child was truly outrageous. You just made Don Imus look like MLK, and your attempt to cover up your disgraceful smear by deleting it proves how fundamentally dishonest you are.

  32. E-mail Fox News to complain about Colmes’s irresponsible blogging. He has every right to say every irresponsible thing he wishes on this blog. But you don’t have to patronize the network that pays his salary.

    Boycott Hannity’s show.

    Even lowly MSNBC benched David Schuster when he characterized the Clintons as “pimping out” Chelsea during the primaries.

    Alan Colmes should publicly apologize and then be suspended, if not fired. Fox can fire a better liberal opposition view than this toad. Susan Estrich comes to mind.

  33. It’s too bad Alan Colmes is such as classless, spitelful, childish little prick, as demonstrated by his (since deleted) cheapshot attack at Sarah Palin and her youngest child.

    Hopefully Rupert Murdoch will take note of Alan’s smear and show him the door. Pam was right: he really belongs at MSNBC with partisan hacks like Chris Matthews and the psychopathic Keith Olbermann…

    Sadly, that sort of thing is typical of the Democrat Party establishment and its allies in the mainstream media. For his next trick, I expect Colmes will be echoing the “Hurricane Gustav is God’s Ironic Wrath on the RNC” nonsense that Don Fowler and Michael Moore have been spouting the past couple of days.

    Why is it that Democrats consider personal tragedy, misery and disaster as grounds for partisan political glee? And why the hell should we allow such people to run the country?

  34. This isn’t Alan’s first lie.

    Last month he was strongly suggesting that the Anthrax suicide guy was a Right Wing Terrorist.. even though the guy was a Democrat.. and even though his attacks seemed to be totally devoid of any political motivation and thus what his affilition was is totally irrelevent to his actions.

    I made serveral comments to get him to retract his lie but he never acknowledged it.

  35. Morally bankrupt, Skeletor. Totally without character to have said such and totally without courage to weasel your way out from under by deleting it.

    McCain-Palin 2008

    Palin-Jindal 2012

    No democraps at 1600 for DECADES !!!

    Gonna s u c k to be you come November.

  36. All we will hear this week at the GOP convention will be how Obama offended Cindy McCain. Now let’s not bring up the fact that Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, and many others have spent hour after hour panning Michelle Obama. Not one time did I hear these folks say “to err is human.” Not one time did I hear these folks talk about Michelle Obama’s humble beginnings. However, ol ElRushbo certainly still looks for mercy and understanding of the fact that he is a drug addict. Glenn Beck certainly talks about the fact he is an alcoholic. I’m sure he wanted mercy from people when he sobered up. Again, we will hear ad nauseum about the insult to Cindy McCain but no high fives to Michelle Obama’s humble beginnings or for her father who went to work everyday even though he suffered from MS.

  37. McKee, based on the clip at YouTube of Bidet introducing the Obamessiah in Beaver, PA in which he seems to be either sh*t-faced or having a stroke, seems like that’s where you should be looking for any anticipated Eagleton (D-Asylum) moment.

    Then Shrillery can bravely step in as the savior of the morally bankrupt party.

  38. He even starts like those meeting that begin “Hi, my name’s Joe”. The only thing that’s missing is the whole group of degenerates shouting back “HI JOE” to make him feel loved.

  39. Simple, Alan is no different then the crazy, gutless Moveon crowd. Sean Hannity should punch Alan in the face like a punk weasel deserves. Alan, you are a coward! (you probably think that is ok considering you Progressive outlook)

  40. READ THIS AT UPPITY WOMAN BLOG

    But jumping the shark on women-bashing won’t stop them from trying new, innovative and even more despicable approaches.

    Yesterday Alan Colmes actually jumped the shark again. He questioned whether Sarah Palin took proper prenatal care and that her own “neglect” may have caused the Down’s Syndrome of her own baby. Damned working women!

    I will wait while you absorb that despicable remark coming from a “progressive Democrat” “man” who exercised exponentially bad woman-bashing taste on behalf of the sexist pig he wants to elect.

    Shockingly revolting, isn’t it? Breathtakingly tasteless and cruel, wouldn’t you say? Caught in their own irony.

    Alan Colmes took the page down from his website. But what he said will live on via search engines. Here ya go, Alan. 4,340 Google items on your sick remark. I’m sure somebody has a screen shot of the page you took down.

    Not good Alan. Not good at all for a “Progressive” Democrat. Just saying.

    You can’t escape your bad taste, Alan. It will stay with you for life. Of course, the good ole fellas won’t think it’s much, but the women will make sure this spreads like wildfire. You win the Sexist Bad Taste Award Alan. Who’da thunk it would be you winning such an “honor”? Who would have imagined that you could actually “one up” Chris Matthews and Jack Cafferty in the I Hate Those Goddamned Women department? Amazing isn’t it? You’ve come a long way baby!

    But Alan, tell you what:. I want to be fair to you, man. If we can lend some credibility to your sicko remark, it might help. So I have an idea on how to do that. Being a man, at least genetically, let’s simulate childbirth for you so that you might speak with more authority when you discuss your own remarkably bad taste and abject ignorance about women, childbirth, prenatal care and Down’s Syndrome.

    So here’s what you should do: You should rapidly shove a large automatic umbrella up your ass and then press the Open button in a very snappy way. Then, after the umbrella explodes up in your brain area, you should yank the umbrella out while it’s open. Let me know how that works out for you, OK Alan? You tasteless cruel piece of crap.

    Be grateful, Alan.

    Be very grateful that we women don’t get to decide on your punishment for the most tasteless and cruel act of male piggery to ungrace our TV sets since Keith Olbermann suggested that somebody take Hillary into a room and only one of them comes out.

    This is what happens when a Party is hijacked by Far Left Fascist radicals with a dangerous Cult of Personality Charismatic leading the charge.

    The only difference between the Barack Obama campaign and the fundamentalist jihadists who write contribution checks to him is: they haven’t literally set women on fire or shot any of them on sight. Yet.

    Oh and one more thing: Have you reproduced yet, Alan? Because you really ought to be careful of Karma, Mmmmmmkay?

    Well I guess we should be grateful that this sorry-assed Alan Colmes piece negates that character on Youtube who keeps using the word “apparently” a lot when discussing that Sarah’s baby is really her daughter’s kid. There is no end to the trash Barack Obama can pump out.

    Young American Women, take heed. I haven’t seen the kind of treatment of women I have seen since Barack Obama came on the scene in at least 30 years. This kind of horrific behavior rolls downhill. Not only to the Workplace but into the Home. What do you need, a telephone pole on your heads to Get It? Your equality, partial as it is, is under assault. It’s time for all of you to mentally gear up. Before it’s too late. You are fighting for every right you thought was already won by somebody else. And that’s no exaggeration.Many of us recognize a pattern here from a time gone by. It doesn’t matter whether a woman is a Republican or a Democrat in the grand scheme of real life. Ignore what is in front of your noses at your own peril. If you do, you will Get It the hard way later.

  41. Oh, Hotair was founded by Michelle Malkin.

    Now it all becomes clear.

    “Bronwyn Lance Chester, an editorial writer at The Virginian-Pilot, stated in November 2004 when the newspaper dropped Malkin’s column that Malkin “habitually mistakes shrill for thought-provoking and substitutes screaming for discussion. She’s an Asian Ann Coulter. [...] She’s the worst of what’s wrong with punditry today. She adds absolutely nothing to genuine political discourse.”

    This is from the Jerome Corsi school of creative fiction.

    Anita, I’m sorry you don’t get it.
      
    Obama and mcsame are running for president.
      
    Hannity, etc are talk show hosts.
      
    Most people understand there’s a difference between the two.
      
    No one is linking the smears against your future veep by the liberal media to obama.
      
    Oops, bad example, obama’s campaign did take a cheap shot for which obama had to throw someone under the bus.
      
    Just hours after his campaign issued a first statement Friday ripping the addition of Sarah Palin to the Republican ticket, Barack Obama backed away from that statement — or at least its tone — and said that his own campaign had misrepresented him.

    WOW

    What a loss! Just think of all the singular yet very consistant mispelling of people’s names they’re missing by “liberals” not being able to register at will.

  45. Oh, my. I see your new Freeper “friends” have found this thread too.

    Try to say hello to Garrison Keillor while you’re in Minneapolis. Of course, it’s not likely he’ll be welcome at the Republican fiesta but maybe you can find him at home.

  46. Truthtopower -

    You are incorrect in your observations. I do get it. There is an equal amount of hypocrisy on the Dem side as there is on the Repub side. The Clinton’s are at the top of list of hypocrites on the dem side. Followed by Gore. The politician of today is not too interested in actually serving the folks – they want the position, the noteriety, and the power. They don’t give two shits about the average JoeSixPack. The talking heads are out to make a buck, always hoping to make a television appearance and sell mindless books written by themselves or their cohorts.

  47. Alan, I am amused when I hear all the “hype” about Palin being a fit mother while a VP. I don’t recall anyone ever asking whether or not a father can be a “fit” parent while a VP or President. It seems to me that the “left” is really full of feeble mindedness when it comes to seeing double standards among their own.

  48. You are scum. You claim to not use ad hominem attacks and then do so. Admittedly, your normal tactic on Hannity and the evil liberal scum (way the show is known around my house) is to interupt the answer from any conservative with the memorized talking points. Palin may have a down syndrome baby. Any child of yours will be forced to share your genes. I don’t like being this mean but you need to take a step back and realize what true scum you are.

  49. What a plague of zombies has been visited upon us – almost biblical! And all because their GROUPTHINK controllers have pointed the fools in this direction and released them from their leashes. Scary shit indeed when they can continue to send wave after wave of halfwits who cannot even stop and pause when confronted with the simple facts.

    Alan never for a moment suggested that the kid’s extra gene was anything to do with her irresponsibility in the hours before his birth. Only a complete idiot, say someone who thinks evolution is a crock, could even entertain such a bizarre notion.

    Alan questioned the wisdom of a ‘heartbeat-from-the-presidency’ person who, when faced with the possibly imminent, possibly problematic birth of a less than normal baby, would get onto a plane (without informing the cabin crew) and fly for 12 hours, then drive to a backblocks hospital with no special neo-natal facilities and have the premature birth induced.

    Perfectly simple, perfectly rational questions of someone who may well have the authority to declare war in a matter of months.

    A functioning brain and the ability to reason are our greatest gifts from God or whatever it was that brought us here. You utter dunces should be ashamed of throwing it all away in the service of your greedy, shameless masters.
