I really don’t have much to say on this other than it’s another example of the Islamic influence in America. Once again we are blinded by money and are enabling the Islamic colonization of America. It’s bad enough that both parties are Dhimmified and bow before the House of Saud and give preference to Islamic Immigrants. Now we are allowing a company based in Abu Dhabi to bid and possibly help manage the new Freedom Tower when it is completed.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will soon decide which partner will manage and help market the tower, which has been renamed One World Trade Center. The partner will invest at least $100 million onto the office tower and memorial building.

Related Co. is an international real estate group whose investors include Goldman Sachs; MSD Capital, LP; Mubadala Development Company; Kuwait Investment Authority; and Olayan Group, according to the company’s website.

Mubadala Development Company is owned by the Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, government.

Johnson reports that Related Cos. is involved in a joint project with the UAE-backed-company, which is chaired by the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. Johnson said Related Cos. also has ties to the Saudi Arabian royal family and to financiers based in Dubai.

With the Ground Zero Islamic community center and now this travesty, Bin Laden no longer looks crazy for attacking the US. He obviously read us right and knew we would not admit who are enemy was.

One Little Kiss

One little kiss earned two friends room and board for a month for the low price of $250.  Unfortunately they can’t stay in the same room or visit each other during this time, and, um, it’s an offer that they’re not allowed to refuse.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – A Dubai appeals court on Sunday upheld a one-month prison sentence for a British couple convicted of kissing in a restaurant.

The pair landed in court after an Emirati woman complained about the public kiss, which the couple insisted was just a peck on the cheek. They were arrested in November and convicted of inappropriate behavior and illegal drinking.

Cosmopolitan Dubai has the most relaxed social codes in the conservative Gulf, but authorities enforce strict decency laws and regularly crack down on people accused of pushing the limits, which can include everything from wearing a mini skirt to losing one’s temper in traffic.[Source]

One little kiss and Sharia don’t like it. On the bright side, the couple was granted 30 days to appeal their sentence to a higher court.

The photo is of the band Mini Kiss, a Kiss cover band made up of little people, except their songs are shorter. To make up (heh, makeup) for that groaner, this’ll be an Open Thread.

Sunday morning linkage

UN praises Iranian ‘co-operation’ -of course they do.

The head of the UN nuclear watchdog has said relations with Iran are shifting from confrontation to co-operation.

Woman sues over publication of photo

Dubai: A winner of a government academic excellence award is suing three of the award’s executives for publishing a photograph of her not wearing a niqab (face cover) without her consent.
[…]

“Over and above, the photo was presented in a slide show presentation during the ceremony which was being aired live on local and Arab satellite televisions. My family and husband were shocked and devastated when they saw my picture& they even asked me to quit my job as a teacher and stay at home,” claimed the plaintiff in her lawsuit.

[…]

The claimant alleged that publishing her photo without her niqab damaged her reputation amongst her conservative family and husband and ruined her status in her community.

Making a buck off Obama not as easy anymore

They cashed out retirement funds to build their business during the 2008 presidential campaign. Now they have 3,000 jack-in-the-boxes with smiling Barack Obama puppets inside — all sitting in a California warehouse, waiting to be sprung open for $29.95 apiece.

For Barack-in-the-Box creator Heather Courtney and her husband, David Manzo, the Obamamania that drove sales so fast they could barely keep up during the inauguration is over now. Sales have slowed to a “sporadic drizzle,” the 36-year-old artist said, in part because the president just isn’t as popular.

Dubai shopping spree stalls, retailers tighten belts

I’m glad this is happening. I hope the price of oil continues its collapse and these Jihadi jerks go broke. This will cripple the Jihad, without money they have no means of getting weapons or carrying out attacks

Dubai shopping spree stalls, retailers tighten belts

DUBAI, Nov 20 (Reuters) – Some big Dubai retailers, accustomed to giddy spending in the Gulf Arab tax-free haven, are grappling with a drop in sales as consumers worry about the impact of the global financial crisis on their wallets.

The Gulf has not been as heavily hit by the credit crisis as Europe and the United States, but the contagion has led to stock market routs, tight lending conditions and a range of government and central bank attempts to mitigate its impact.

In the United Arab Emirates, home to the glitzy financial hub of Dubai where shopping is virtually a national sport, a frisson of fear has seeped into consumers’ minds.

“Business is 20 percent down in the last week in retail,” Mohi-din Bin Hendi, president of Bin Hendi Enterprises, told Reuters.

This is great! Less money for the Jihad! They can always go back to selling Camels and Carpets, at least that’s harmless!
