Calif. Councilwoman Receives Threats for ‘Anti-Muslim’ Comments

A California councilwoman has received threats over comments she made during a recent protest outside a fundraising event hosted by the Islamic Circle of North American (ICNA) Relief USA.
As we reported earlier this month, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemned the Orange County tea party protest event as a gathering of “anti-Muslim bigots” and released a heavily edited video of protesters and speakers decrying ICNA and its event which hosted two controversial guests with ties to radical Islam.
During the daytime protest, local councilwoman Deborah Pauly remarked how her son and his military friends would be very happy to help these terrorists to an early meeting in Paradise.”
Pauly’s comments reportedly angered 27-year-old Paul Dean Andrews who pleaded not guilty Wednesday to one felony count of threatening a public official.
Pauly has since walked back those comments, claiming to be referring to terrorists in the Middle East and not anyone attending ICNA’s fundraising event. But Andrews allegedly sent her a Facebook message threatening violence against her with weapons, Deputy District Attorney Rebecca Olivieri said.
“We can’t be specific on the threat, but it was a specific threat to harm her,” said Jim Amormino of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
Orange County sheriff’s deputies tracked the message back to Andrews and confronted him at his home Monday where he was arrested without incident.
On Tuesday evening, about 200 protesters gathered outside Villa Park City Hall to demand an apology from Pauly for her past comments, chanting, “Pauly, Pauly, Pauly has got to go.”.
In addition, the Villa Park Peace Coalition sent a letter to Pauly demanding a public apology.
“Your speech incited hate and undermined the very essence of American values in which we pride ourselves,” the members of the coalition said in the letter. “In Villa Park, we have always supported religious pluralism as we have always enjoyed a peaceful co-existence amongst our constituents.”

Posted on March 23, 2011 at 7:30pmI commend Mrs. Pauly for speaking up and expressing what millions of patriotic Americans feel. Some of these Islamic organizations say they want to co-exist peacefully with the rest of us yet they are okay with speakers who are known to have ties with radical Islam. More and more patriotic Americans are on to the charade these so-called “peaceful” organizations are playing. They are allowed the freedom of speech to say “Death to all infidels”. Well, there are more of us who have something to say to them and will fight to keep our country free the way our founding fathers envisioned. Those Islamic extemists can continue to dream, but the must be served notice that we are prepared to be their worst nightmare.

Posted on March 23, 2011 at 7:11pmPrime Minister Julia Gillard – Australia
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation’s mosques. Quote:
‘IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT…Take It Or Leave It.
Report Post »I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.’
‘This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.’
‘We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society. Learn the language!’
‘Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.’
‘We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.’
‘This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. However, once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, ‘THE RIGHT TO LEAVE’.’
‘If you aren’t happy here, then LEAVE We didn’t force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.’
Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves in Canada & the USA, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing these same truths.

Posted on March 23, 2011 at 6:39pmOh good grief. Yes, I hope people wake up to this enormous problem – add it to the list. Don’t think it wise what Pauly said; however, I encountered the same problem when blogging on Huffington Post. I was banned (not just deleted) when I posted facts about radical Islam & Dearborn, MI (Muslim capitol of America) where they are having really bad problems that’s never reported because of our stupid, dangerous political correctness. I didn’t use any foul language or anything. They state in their rules they welcome ALL ideas & don’t act on biased thinking re ideology, political stance, etc. LOL!!!!!! No way. In a way it was laughable — deleting wasn’t good enough – they had to ban me forever!!!! It’s the same for their other beliefs. But no, wasn’t that surprised. They‘ll perhaps keep you on if it’s “benign” but if it’s the truth & is different from what they want to believe, no matter what – off you go! Very tragic & does not bode well for us……..
