Whether or not Muslim extremists Anjem Choudary, Abu Izzadeen and Sayful Islam will actually be able to pull it off or not remains to be seen. However, the trio are planning to stand on American soil in front of the White House on March 3 and proclaim a “call to arms” in which they will , “call for Sharia law to be established across the U.S.,” according to the Daily Mail on Sunday.
Anjem Choudary is the same extremist who has insisted that the Islamic flag will one day fly over the White House. He also said that he anticipates that thousands will turnout. Whether that is a bunch of psychological warfare or there has truly been some focused organizing going on behind the scenes will eventually become evident.
Meanwhile, the AP has reported that Moammar Gadhafi has declared that if Libya ends up in a civil war, that there will be oil wells in Libya that go up in flames.
To make matters even more interesting, Haaretz reported on Sunday that Iranian warships have made it through the Suez Canal while Al Jazeera reports that Egypt is denying the claim.
If a crowd ends up being drawn to the White House on March 3, it’s possible that the U.S. government will be in shut-down mode anyway given the fact that Reuters reported on Sunday that there has been some talk of a government shutdown if lawmakers can’t agree on a budget. It was also noted that the government is only funded through March 4. One can’t help but wonder if America would have Sharia law thrust upon it if the Republicans were to leave the state like the Democrats did in Wisconsin.
It would seem that Brigitte Gabriel’s warning about the attempt of Muslim Extremists to force an Islamic government into power in the United States is beginning to manifest. The Arab Christian is the founder and president of ACT! for America and has written a bestselling book entitled They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It. She told One News Now earlier this month that, “I actually dedicate a chapter to the Muslim Brotherhood's project for North America -- not only to what they have done in the Middle East and their goals of bringing back an Islamic government totalitarian regime worldwide, but their plan to the United States as well.”
She also stated that, “We not only have the fox watching the hen house; we have the fox inside the hen house right now," she notes. "This is why Obama is being wishy-washy on what's happening in Egypt, because the Obama administration right now is basically taking advice on Middle East policy from the Muslim Brotherhood front organizations in America."
It will certainly be interesting to see just how all the convenient crises brewing in DC will be taken advantage of in the coming days.

Silver Hits Fresh Post Hunt Brother High Of $34.43 On News Saudi Has Sent Tanks To Bahrain
Silver Hits Fresh Post Hunt Brother High Of $34.43 On News Saudi Has Sent Tanks To Bahrain
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/01/2011 07:12 -0500
Middle East Newspaper Saudi Arabia
If RIA Novosti's update on the Middle East escalation is correct, the Middle East's worst kept secret, that Saudi Arabia would interfere militarily in Bahrain before the country fell, has just been confirmed. From RIA: "Saudi Arabia has sent dozens of tanks to Bahrain, where anti-government protests continue for about two weeks, Egypt's Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper said on Tuesday. Eyewitnesses reported seeing "15 tank carriers carrying two tanks each heading towards Bahrain" along the 25-km King Fahd causeway, which links the small island nation of Bahrain to Saudi Arabia." And while nobody expects the DXY to do much if anything on this news, now that the dollar is irrelevant in the FX realm, the same can not be said about silver. Silver just hit $34.43 minutes ago, the highest print in the last 31 years.
More from RIA:
Protestors are mainly Shiites account for about 70% of the Bahraini population, but have long complained of discrimination and other abuses by the Sunni Khalifa dynasty that has ruled the tiny Gulf nation for more than two centuries.
In the worst unrest in the kingdom since the 1990s, a wave of protests swept across Bahrain in the past weeks. At least six people were killed and hundreds injured in clashes with police.
Opposition threatens to hold more protests and a nationwide strike if the government refuses to resign.
And a confirming report from Press TV:
Pro-democracy protests in Bahrain have shown no sign of decline after almost two weeks. The protesters are demanding the resignation of the government, constitutional reforms and the king's abdication.
Witnesses said that the causeway was blocked as "15 tank carriers carrying two tanks each were heading towards Bahrain," Egypt's al-Masry al-Youm daily reported in its latest edition.
Given the popular protests in the Persian Gulf kingdom, the transfer of the military hardware from Saudi Arabia to Bahrain seems highly unusual, commuters traveling along the 25-km causeway said.
The development follows a decision by the Bahraini military on Saturday to withdraw their vehicles out of the capital's Pearl Square after a deadly police attack on protesters, a condition the opposition had set to begin talks.
The arrival of tanks from Saudi Arabia also occurs on the eve of yet another scheduled pro-democracy rally on Tuesday organized by the Bahraini opposition and protesters in Manama's flashpoint Pearl Square.
Massive protests in Bahrain, which hosts the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in the region, have shown no sign of a decline after almost two weeks.
The protesters are demanding the resignation of the government, constitutional reforms and the king's abdication.
Fears of Saudi intervention in the ongoing Bahraini uprising first came to the fore last week when unconfirmed reports emerged on Wednesday.
