Jemaah Islamiyah For Obama

We are a group that supports social justice for our oppressed Muslim brothers all over the world. We support Barack Obama for President because he is sympathetic to the plight of Muslims. He is a man of integrity, who will not be bullied by the neo-cons and the zionists. He will stand up for our oppressed palestinian brothers and sisters, whose land is being illegally occupied by that evil zionist entity whose name I just hate to even write.
...
I mean why should American and Israel be able to have nukes but not Iran? That is very unfair. Obama will right that wrong.


Posted from NY.

I believe they're the indonesian group who wants to redo the Australian gov't.


Jemaah Islamiyah[1] (JI, Arabic phrase meaning "Islamic Group" or "Islamic Community"; in Arabic, الجماعه الإسلاميه) is a Southeast Asian militant Islamic organization dedicated to the establishment of a Daulah Islamiyah[2] (Islamic State) in Southeast Asia incorporating Indonesia, Malaysia, the southern Philippines, Singapore and Brunei[3]. JI was added to the United Nations 1267 Committee's list of terrorist organizations linked to al-Qaeda or the Taliban on 25 October 2002[4] under UN Security Council Resolution 1267.
Jemaah Islamiyah is known to have killed hundreds of civilians in the Bali car bombing on October 12, 2002. In the attack, suicide bombers killed 202 people, mostly Australian tourists, and wounded many in two blasts
After this attack, the U.S. State Department designated Jemaah Islamiyah as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Jemaah Islamiyah is also strongly suspected of carrying out the 2003 JW Marriott hotel bombing in Kuningan, Jakarta, the 2004 Australian embassy bombing in Jakarta, and the 2005 Bali terrorist bombing. The JI also has been directly and indirectly involved in dozens of bombings in the southern Philippines, usually in league with the ASG.
-----

If you interview for hotel jobs in Australia, they ask you counter-terror questions, like what you would do if you saw a strange man in the lobby, probably because of those groups.

Has Jemaah Islamiyah targeted Americans or American interests?

Yes. State Department Spokesman Richard Boucher said in January 2003 that “information indicates that Hambali was involved in a 1995 plot to bomb eleven U.S. commercial airliners in Asia and directed the late-2001 foiled plot to attack U.S. and Western interests in Singapore,” referring to Jemaah Islamiyah’s plans to attack the U.S., British, and Israeli embassies in December 2001. In the most recent Bali attacks, two Americans were reportedly wounded.

Those endorsements won't matter to much. But if more people read/hear his books, I'm not sure what will happen

Voter suppression, manipulation, etc etc. site isn't familiar to me, but at least it's a scanned document.

Did you know that late last year, Oprah was forcing her studio audience to sign papers saying that they support Obama just to attend her show?

Her show dropped in the syndicated ratings, and some think she turned her viewership off with all the pro-Obama stuff. Really, the ratings drop could be caused by anything, like a lost affiliate, change in timeslot, etc.........

Wonder how a lot of them started feeling about her association with TUCC? (She left in the late 90s, but apparently it wasn't because of Reverend Wrong's preaching.)

She probably agreed with every word of it. Her promoting of Obama had to frustrate some of her female audience if it was as persistent as they say.

What an endorsement. Of course, the EU's endorsement is the only one that really counts, since DC wants to hide behind Brussels nowadays as far as world policing goes.

Don't forget the endorsement of Roger Croissant and TWULOCAL100!!!

You can even check out their website. It looks like a political site featuring an endorsement of Obama. Does Roger really think TWU is a political player to be taken seriously?

Google searches of "TWU LOCAL Philadelphia", ".......Baltimore", ".........Chicago", ".......DC", produce links to union websites. And guess what, I can't find one featuring Barack Obama on the home page like Roger is doing. What a joke Local 100 is. No wonder people laugh.
