----- POLICE DEACTIVATE 'DEVICE' - TOP
J.J. Alcantara, The Advertiser, 12/19/10 More than 50 homes were evacuated Saturday evening while officials took steps to make sure a suspicious device found near the Islamic Center of Lafayette was deactivated safely. "State police emergency service personnel were able to render the device safe," said Trooper Stephen Hammons, Louisiana State Police spokesman. Hammons said that a telephone tip led police to a briefcase leaning against a fence near the Islamic Center at the corner of Tulane Avenue and Taft Street. Although he did not say what was in the briefcase, Hammons did say the device was a threat that required special care and precautions. "The state police have personnel with the expertise to handle certain substances and explosives," Hammons explained, "and that expertise was certainly required in this case." . . . The suspicious package at the Islamic Center comes on the heels of a car that was set on fire at the center Sept. 21. The FBI is investigating the fire as a possible hate crime because of where it occurred. No suspects have been identified yet in the arson case, but a $2,500 reward was offered this month to help find a suspect. ----- VIDEO: CAIR REP DISCUSSES PLAN TO TARGET AMERICAN MUSLIMS (MSNBC 'COUNTDOWN') - TOP Rep.

By Ibrahim Hooper, Washington Post, 12/17/10 "Behold! The angels said: 'O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him. His name will be Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and in (the company of) those nearest to God.'" Before searching for this quote in the New Testament, you might first ask your Muslim co-worker, friend or neighbor for a copy of the Quran, Islam's revealed text. The quote is from verse 45 of chapter 3 in the Quran. (More)
