Islam in America Series

from Right Side News April 7, 2009

Did you know that Muslims discovered America? Or that “ancient Jewish civilization contributed very little to the arts and sciences”?

According to a recent study by Institute for Jewish and Community Research, millions of American public school students in all 50 states use textbooks that contain such erroneous “facts.” Of the 500 historical errors uncovered by the study, hundreds of them tout a blatant agenda of Islamic superiority.

Even more shockingly, U.S. taxpayers are the ones footing the bill. It’s all part of a worrisome trend within the American educational system: the apparent spread of radical Muslim propaganda under the guise of “education.”

Pamela Geller has reported on the story for years. She says that the influence of radical Islam spreads beyond K-12 into colleges and universities. 

“No one knows how extensive Saudi funding of U.S. schools is,” Geller told RightSideNews, “but since Saudis control 80% of US mosques financially, it’s very likely that they control the same percentage of schools.”

She cites “$20 million dollar gifts from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, to top U.S. universities like Harvard and Georgetown,” adding that the impact of such gifts flows all the way “down to the kindergarten level.”

Under Title VI of the 1965 Higher Education Act, Harvard and seventeen other universities only qualify for special funding provided they conduct “outreach” to K-12 teachers, helping them shape lesson plans. And naturally, those lesson plans include laudatory information about Islam and the Middle East…

In one notorious instance, outraged parents protested in 2002 when they discovered that their children were learning about Islam in a California public school by praying “in the name of Allah.” Continue Reading →

More on the Starbucks Jihad

Posted on by

One of the more peculiar threads of the global Jihad Vladtepesblog follows, is what we call the Starbucks Jihad. We have several posts here on attacks on Starbucks especially in Europe as well as the sureal video of an Egyptian Imam demanding Starbucks be boycotted because he claims, its logo is of an ancient Jewish queen of Persia.

Below please find an article from Pajamas media on the Starbucks relationship to the left and Islamic world. They also suggest a coming Chrystalnacht, something we at Vlad have been predicting for some time. Only it will start with coffee shops.

Starbucks Boycott Turns Violent

Poor Howard Schultz. No matter how hard the Starbucks head tries, he can’t seem to avoid being in the news as he is hated in so many parts of the world. Here in the UK he is hated because it is fashionable to spurn American globalization. I will never forget a “Jews for Justice for Palestinians” activist screaming at me shortly after 9/11, saying “American enterprises clogging the British high street” contributed to the hatred that caused the terror attacks. I reminded her that if KFC, Woolworths, McDonalds, Domino’s, Subway, and Starbucks closed all at once there would be about 500,000 Brits on the dole.

Schultz is hated by Anglo-Muslims because he is an alleged “mega-Zionista.” He is hated by the Guardianista intelligentsia of Primrose Hill, who were successful in banning Starbucks and its baristas from their high street. He is hated by the mullahs of the Middle East who have demanded the coffee chain be closed down because Queen Esther appears in its world-renowned logo. My esteemed journalistic colleague and respected historian Melanie Phillips, who does not suffer fools gladly and has an unparalleled instinct for a major news story, thinks the Queen Esther issue is more than just Islamist propaganda.

Now that the novelist Howard Jacobson has published a screed alerting the world to the explosion of anti-Semitism in Britain, which our mild-mannered chief rabbi calls a “tsunami,” and now that Zionist-hatred has metamorphosed into violence on the streets of London, I thought I would examine the process of hate-mongering evolving into mini-Kristallnachts.

An interesting article on the original lyrics of the Star Spangled Banner

Posted on by

This post ripped verbatim from ibloga

The Star Spangled Banner Was Originally About Subduing Muslims In Battle


UPDATES AT BOTTOM OF POST

Well, what do you know. The original Star Spangled Banner was about victory in the War against the Barbary Pirates (read Muslims).

From Her Royal Whyness (with special thanks to Democracy Broadcasting):


Earlier today, I viewed a video lecture

(also forwarded link to you –  subject: Arabs and Zionists’ tug-og-war over America since 1776 – Professor Michael Oren video)


given by historian and author Dr. Michael Oren, here .

Quote from the end of the lecture (he’s a real tease, that one) :


“Why the original lyrics of the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ talked about Muslims bowing down to the victorious flag of the United States.”


Well, it turns out the Star Spangled Banner was originally written for Bainbridge and Stephen Decatur in 1805.


In it, the lyrics included phrases:

“turbaned heads bowed”
“for the brow of the brave”
“In vain frowned the desert,”
“To a far distant shore, to the battle’s wild roar, ”
“And pale beamed the crescent, its splendor obscured ”
“By the light of the star-spangled flag of our nation.”


The lyrics changed in the War of 1812.

DIana West: Islam today in Harvard yard.

Sharia Creep in Harvard Yard

Apr 15 Written by: Diana West

Photo: Harvard Islamic chaplain Taha Abdul-Basser, ’96, who believes there is “great wisdom” in the death penalty for converting from Islam.

From the Internet to the media, slowly: Yesterday’s Harvard Crimson carried a story on the Harvard Islamic chaplain’s support for capital punishment for Muslims who leave Islam as revealed in an email the chaplain “allegedly” wrote. (We’re still at “allegedly”–although no one, including the chaplain, has disputed the authorship of the email.) I posted the story here on April 4. What caught my eye in this week’s Crimson story was the “clarification” flagged at the bottom of the following Crimson paragraph:

“I believe he doesn’t belong as the official chaplain,” said one Islamic student, who asked that he not be named to avoid conflicts with Muslim religious authorities. “If the Christian ministers said that people who converted from Christianity should be killed, don’t you think the University should do something?” [SEE CLARIFICATION BELOW]

Scrolling down, I found it:

CLARIFICATION: The April 14 article “Chaplain’s E-mail Sparks Controversy” included a quotation from a named Harvard student, who was later granted anonymity when he revealed that his words could bring him into serious conflict with Muslim religious authorities.

Got that? For opposing death for apostasy, for opposing the Islamic chaplain’s continued tenure based on said chaplain’s support for death for apostasy, a Harvard Muslim student felt compelled to call up the Crimson to seek post-publication anonymity to avoid coming into “serious conflict with Muslim religious authorities.”

This isn’t the Swat Valley. This isn’t Taliban-controlled Afghanistan–or, for that matter, Karzai-controlled Afghanistan. This isn’t Iran. This isnt Iraq. This is what sharia creep looks like  in America…in Harvard Yard.

Toronto man charged for nuke smuggling

Posted on by

The greatest desire of radical Islam is  the ability to hold the world hostage with nuclear weapons. Muslims in all parts of the world are actively searching for the resources and technology to make this nightmare a reality. Additional story from The National Post on same issue is here.

world-held-hostage

from CNEWS -TORONTO – A Toronto man is facing charges after allegedly trying to send nuclear technology to Iran, a country under intense international pressure to curtail its nuclear ambitions because of fears it wants to produce a bomb.

The RCMP, after a joint eight-week investigation with the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security, allege Mahmoud Yadegari tried to procure and export pressure transducers, which are used in the production of enriched uranium.

The UN Security Council banned exports of nuclear-related technology to Iran in 2006 because of what it considers efforts to build nuclear weapons.

The transducers, which are hand-sized, have a legitimate commercial use, the RCMP said, but they can also be used for military purposes.

“They’re critical components used in a larger device in order to enrich uranium for weapons grade product,” RCMP Insp. Greg Johnson said at a news conference Friday.

The man purchased ten of the transducers from a Boston-area company for about $1,100 each, the RCMP said. Police declined to release the name of the U.S. company that sold the transducers or the name of the company owned by Yadegari, who police said is a Toronto businessman in his mid-30s.

The police said the man set off suspicions with the Boston-area firm when he said he planned to ship the transducers to Toronto and then on to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

“We have evidence to support the fact that its ultimate destination was Iran,” said Johnson.

It’s alleged Yadegari took steps to conceal the identification of the transducers so he could export them overseas without the required export permits.

Yadegari is charged under the Customs Act and Export Import Permits Act, and is also accused of violating U.N. sanctions on Iran. He is a Canadian citizen who emigrated from Iran in 1998, and is in custody awaiting a bail hearing next week, police said.

Penalties under the Export Act alone include fines of up to $1,000,000 and up to 10 years in prison.

Iran insists it is enriching uranium to produce nuclear energy for civilian purposes, but the United States and some European countries accuse Tehran of secretly seeking to build nuclear weapons.

Iran has all of the components and required materials for a bomb, said George Webb of the Canada Border Services Agency.

“What they have to do is take it and enrich that material to a very high level,” said Webb. “I don’t personally believe that they are there yet. However, they’re very, very, very close.”

Project American Shield, a program run by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement branch of Homeland Security, has agents meeting with manufacturers of technologies that can be used in nuclear production in order to alert them to suspicious purchases by foreigners.

“We make them aware of red-flag indicators of suspicious activity and what they should do when they encounter suspicious inquiry from abroad,” said the ICE’s Tim Gildea.

Those suspicious indicators include someone looking to pay cash, and probably too high a price for the technology, expressing an urgent need for the material or proposing a circuitous shipping route.

The charges against Yadegari follow an investigation by the RCMP, Canada Customs agents, The Dept. of Foreign Affairs and Homeland Security.

In February, U.S. President Barack Obama’s administration said it would seek to end Iran’s nuclear ambition and its support for terrorism.

That drew an immediate rebuke from Iran’s envoy to the United Nations, who said Iran has never and will never try to acquire nuclear weapons.

Islamic Terror Attacks on American Soil

We recently got taken to the mat by a polite, young Muslim living in the U.K. who took issue with our oft-repeated statement that no Muslim-American lost their life to vigilante violence following 9/11.  She provided us a list of six or seven candidates and, after whittling out the ones where the killer was unknown or in cases with mitigating circumstances such as “victim was sleeping with killer’s ex-girlfriend” (we’re not making that up), we reached a shocking conclusion:

We were wrong.

There is one seemingly unambiguous case that occurred in Dallas, Texas where Waqar Hasan, a Muslim convenience storeowner, was gunned down by Mark Anthony Stroman four days after the 9/11 attacks.  Stroman claimed to have been motivated by anger from watching the towers fall.  He is not exactly your average American, however, even apart from the shooting.  For one thing, he is a white supremacist who carried a felony criminal record at the time of the attack.  He also went on to shoot two more people in the weeks that followed.

Although news of the crime was overshadowed in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Stroman’s name brings up more Google hits than some of the 9/11 hijackers – and only a handful of World Trade Center victims are mentioned more on the Web than Waqar Hasan.  (Interestingly, the name of a Sikh, killed by someone mistaking him for an Arab actually brings up far more hits than either Hasan or any murdered WTC victim with the exception of the firehouse chaplain).  Also, unlike the terrorists walking free in Muslim countries, an American jury sentenced Mark Stroman to death (which we wholeheartedly support).

Nevertheless, we acknowledge that our Muslim friend is correct and that there was at least one Muslim killed in an anti-Arab hate crime in the U.S. following the anti-American hate crime on 9/11.  For anyone keeping score:

People killed by radical Muslims on 9/11: 2,996
Muslim-Americans killed in revenge (…by white power felons): 1

Of course, 9/11 was neither the first nor the last time that Muslims have killed Americans on U.S. soil in terror attacks.  In fact, since that day, Muslims have killed at least 37 people in 28 separate acts of terrorism in the United States (by the standards that Muslim-American groups set for hate crimes).  Perhaps more importantly, there have been quite a few planned mass murders of Americans by Islamic terrorists that were thwarted by the FBI, law enforcement and overseas intelligence operations both before and after 9/11.

By contrast, Muslim-Americans do not appear to be in any special danger from murderous (non-Muslim) religious fanatics.  Identity groups, such as CAIR, whine incessantly about relatively trivial incidents while turning a blind eye to the horrible violence that is meted out daily in the name of their religion.  This distasteful petulance offers insight not only into the character of Islam, but also the impressive religious tolerance that Americans manage to maintain.

For anyone wondering about the history of deadly Islamic terror on American soil in the last 35 years, here’s what we could find:

Obama Administration Stacking the Deck with Islamists. Zuhdi Jasser

Posted on by

From Family Security matters. You may remember Zuhdi Jasser from the excellent movie ‘The Third Jihad’ the half hour version available here.

Exclusive: Obama Administration Stacking the Deck with Islamists

M. Zuhdi Jasser

As we try to understand where the Obama administration will fall with regards to the global threat of political Islam

, the first few months have provided a number of hints, not least of which was the tenor of the recent visit to Turkey. It was painfully obvious after witnessing the length to which the Obama team went to avoid any substantive discussion on political Islam and the threat it poses to human rights abroad and domestically. Domestically, in the weeks preceding his trip, Islamists inside the Beltway began to more openly play their cards to what they obviously perceive to be a friendly administration. Groups like the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association (CMSA) are trying to establish themselves in a position of influence inside the White House, the House, and the Senate.
It’s the Ideology!First just review some of the activities and commentary of Beltway Islamists since the transition and the Inauguration. On January 8th, the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association sent out an email announcing that they would be hosting an inaugural gala titled, “Muslim Inauguration Gala”. Guests included Congressman Keith Ellison, (D-MN), Cong. Andre Carson (D-IN), “Representatives of the Obama Administration”, Rev. Walter Fauntroy (DC-Delegate), Zaid Shakir and Hamza Yusef (of the Zaytuna Institute), Fmr. Capt. James Yee, Senegalese President Abduolaye Wade, CAIR Michigan Director, Dawud Walid, and Johari Abdul-Malik of the Muslim Alliance of North America. This list reads like a Who’s Who of leading Islamists in the United States, all of whom share the ideological framework of political Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood. One need not look far to see the types of ideas shared by these Muslims. For example, Mr. Johari Abdul-Malik spoke just last year at a July 2008 London conference of the “Radical Middle Way”. This Radical Middle Way, sadly British government supported, is an ideological outgrowth of the ideas of Sheikh Yusef Qaradawi, spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. Abdul-Malik stated the following about the Obama campaign and Islamist activism in a speech entitled “Can Muslims Trust Obama?”
Now Barak Obama has been able to identify himself as both black and white. When he’s in Chicago he’s black, when he’s in Kansas he’s white, and when he’s in Hawaii he’s Hawaiian [audience laugh]. He actually is Hawaiian because he was born there…”
“In the place that we live now the strategy for Muslim Americans now, is to place the priority of regime change in Washington. Because the White House was putting out this message that we need regime change in Iraq, we need democracy and freedom in Iran. Malcolm said ‘when they told me to go out and find the enemy I don’t have to go as far as Vietnam to find that enemy, I can find the enemy right here. So if we’re willing to fight for freedom there, then we ought to be able to fight for freedom here.’ So in America, we’re looking for regime change in Washington. And the only regime change that we can look forward to in the near future is to get the Democrats in the White House and put the Republicans, as Malcolm would say, ‘in the dog house’….”
After his speech, Mr. Abdul-Malik was asked whether it was permitted to vote in American elections according to Islam. In response he stated, “I could take the examples and say subh?n Allah, how can you do that, it’s a Christian system and it’s unlawful. The Nagashi of Ethiopia, he was secretly a Muslim and head of State – that’s permissible.”
Mr. Abdul-Malik is actually very proud of the political tarring and feathering he does as an imam at a mosque (classical Islamism) in Northern Virginia and in fact predicts the utility of soon a Muslim candidate for a ‘full-fledged candidate for President”:
“I told some Muslims, you know, we should invite some of our political enemies to our rallies and meetings so that they can be taught and so we can say we love them, and let them say ‘no no no.’ And by the way, this really did happen. One candidate in northern Virginia came to the mosque and he was attacked by some conservatives, saying ‘why did you go to the mosque?’ and he said ‘no, I’m not with them at all-believe me-I’m not.’ It was political suicide for her, but we helped him. We put the tar on him, opened up a pillow case and waited for a wind to start blowing and feathered him right there. So I think the question of political accountability will be there for whoever wins…. our thought would be to run a full-fledged Muslim candidate for President. In which all the questions would not be about the economy, not about jobs, healthcare – it would be about Islam.”
Abdul-Malik also makes no bones about discussing how the election of President Obama is a step forward in the project of Islamization and the long term goal of Islamist domination which falls right in lock-step with that of the Muslim Brotherhood as revealed in their manifesto. He said:
“This is our challenge; to say ‘ok, I’m not a Muslim but I’m fascinated by the nation of Muslims and Islam and so on and so on… People of da’wa think that the outcome is to turn everyone into a Muslim and that will turn the tide. That was not the case in Yathrib, at the time of the Prophet (saw), it was not the case in Andalusia, it was not the case in so many civilisations that Islam had impacted upon. It took hundreds of years in some societies for Muslims to become 50% of the population but they had those four sections of the population to say ‘we will not have racists and bigots  and sexists to have dominance over people who are fair minded, reasonable and rational… “
Abdul-Malik finally makes a very revealing statement about his prediction about the collapse of the United States government:
“For me, again, I’m not putting my faith in the Government. My faith is in Allah, I don’t believe in the Government. If I believed in the Government, then we would have been involved in the civil rights movement. Slavery – my people were slaves, I don’t know if you know that, we did not rely on the good will of the Government to get us out of slavery. We organised internally and externally to end slavery. Now what your idea would have been would be to get out of the abolitionist movement. Eventually the United States Government will fall under its own weight and you’ll be free”
Notice Abdul Malik’s reference to “Muslim nation”. Notice his reference to “regime change.” Notice the magic number of ‘50% Muslim’ where Abdul Malik’s Muslim political party (aka Muslim Brotherhood) can then control the electorate and enact their interpretation of “shar’ia’ law” as a majority in their mobocracy.

International Free Press Society’s Mohammed Cartoon Fundraiser Succeeds Despite Cyber Attack

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington, DC – April 13, 2009: Just one day after world media reported that the International Free Press Society (IFPS) was raising funds to support its free speech activities by selling prints of the most famous of the Danish Mohammed cartoons, the IFPS website suffered a massive cyber-attack. In the wake of the attack, which began at 6:30 am on Thursday, April 9, 2009, the IFPS created an alternate website which is now in place at http://internationalfreepresssociety.wordpress.com. The main site will be restored in the near future at http://www.internationalfreepresssociety.org . Prints of the controversial cartoon can be ordered online at http://freepresssociety.blogspot.com .

Sales for the print of “Turban Bomb,” signed and numbered by the Danish artist Kurt Westergaard, continue uninterrupted and indeed, have exceeded expectations, as orders have been processed via more traditional means and email marketing was expanded.

turbanbomb3

The IFPS was founded in January, 2009 to defend individuals and organizations under assault for exercising their right to free speech. For taking on this mission, the IFPS is under ongoing cyber-attacks. This aggression only serves to underscore the urgency with which free people must come together to defend free speech.

While the website was offline, the IFPS main office at the Danish Free Press Society in Copenhagen, Denmark received an unexpected increase of email, phone and fax orders for the prints of the controversial and historic Westergaard “Turban Bomb” cartoon, as well as calls of concern about the website outage from across Europe and North American. Information on how to purchase the original signed prints is provided at the temporary website and below. Demand for the cartoon have greatly exceeded expectations, with over 300 orders submitted during the website outage and in the immediate days before. IFPS anticipates that the limited edition of 1000 signed and numbered prints will sell out shortly.

The International Free Press Society provides original research, advocacy and support for authors and artists under attack, and daily news updates on individual cases of repression of free speech particularly in Europe, Canada, and the United States, as well as in India, Africa and Asia. In February, March and April, IFPS helped sponsor speaking tours of major U.S. cities including New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and Miami for Geert Wilders, Dutch Parliamentarian and producer of the controversial film FITNA.

Robert Fulford: Murder as an expression of virtue

Robert Fulford: Murder as an expression of virtue
Posted: April 12, 2009, 9:40 AM by NP Editor
,

When an Ethiopian man in Alexandria, Va. killed his wife, the report in last week’s Alexandria Gazette Packet tiptoed nervously around his motive. It said that cultural issues were involved and that he had ordered her not to interact with co-workers. In case the point still wasn’t clear, the reporter attempted to explain: “In Ethiopia, women have more defined roles.”

That’s a cowardly way of saying that women automatically obey their husbands in Ethiopia but sometimes don’t in America. The deliberate ambiguity would be comic if it were not attached to a tragedy.

This is how many people twist themselves into knots while confronting the form of homicide that carries the inappropriate and grotesque label, “honour killing” — the murder of women to satisfy the “honour” of — and appease the rage of — men. We make the mistake of comparing it with wife-murder in the West, but it differs fundamentally: It’s often culturally sanctioned, it claims religious vindication and it may be committed by brothers, uncles and cousins, not just husbands.
A few years ago, most of us understood that this freakish atrocity took place far away, in illiterate corners of Africa or south Asia, beyond the reach of police, courts and other trappings of civilization. Scores of news stories have since taught us that it’s as close as Virginia or Toronto, it’s far more widespread than most people in the West once imagined and it’s likely to persist far into the future.

This is not a crime limited to old men who learned their ways long ago. It’s multi-generational, handed down from father to son, apparently embraced with enthusiasm by many young males. Last Sunday, near Amman, Jordan, a 19-year-old confessed to killing his 22-year-old sister because she frequently left her family’s house without permission. He said he was cleansing his family’s honour. In Basra, Iraq, last year, a Muslim teenager was killed by her father and brothers for flirting with a British soldier. The killers were not charged and their crime was approved of within the community. According to news reports, the father was proud of his sons: “They were men enough to help me finish the life of someone who brought shame to ours.”

In the London Review of Books, Tariq Ali, the British-Pakistani novelist and anti-West political campaigner, revealed a killing in his own family. His uncle’s 18-year-old granddaughter was shot by her brothers because she refused to stop seeing a man. Ali was particularly shocked to learn that his uncle had the body buried that same day without reporting her death to the police.

This week, an article in the European Journal of Public Health estimated that “One in every five homicides in Pakistan is a so-called ‘honour killing.’”

Beating child to death not of concern to Muslim family. Showing wife’s face in mug shot is.

Posted on by

Update from examiner.com who noticed exactly what we did.

April 10, 2009

By KIM JANSSEN, Staff Writer  From South Star News:

The police booking photo of alleged child killer Nour Hadid released Tuesday is an “insult against our religion,” says Hadid’s husband, Alaeddin.

Orland Park police detectives say the 26-year-old Muslim woman was treated as any other suspect in a murder probe would be, and they did not intend to humiliate her when they photographed her Sunday without her headscarf and wearing only a skimpy top.

In her police mugshot, Nour Hadid is shown with bare shoulders and no headscarf (left). By custom, some practicing women wear a hijab

Many devout American Muslim women wear the “hijab,” or traditional headscarf, for religious identity and to signify their modesty, a virtue stressed in Islam for men and women.

There has been some debate among Muslim scholars as to whether the scarf is mandated in religious texts, but for most women who choose to wear the hijab, it is a religious obligation.

To many Muslims, taking off a woman’s hijab in public is akin to taking off someone’s clothes and making him or her stand in his or her underwear.

Some Muslim women also wear a “niqab,” or veil covering their face. But the niqab, many argue, is more of a cultural preference than a dress code enforced by Islam.
By Rumanna Hussain, Chicago Sun-Times

Nour Hadid is accused of beating her 2-year-old niece Bhia Hadid to death over four days at her home on the 9000 block of West 140th Street. The child had 55 separate bruises and was beaten “from head to toe,” according to prosecutors, who say Hadid confessed.

But Alaeddin Hadid – who insists his wife is innocent – said Orland Park police are “really going to be in big trouble” for releasing the woman’s booking photo to the news media after she was charged with first-degree murder.

More homegrown extremists, suspected terrorists working here: RCMP

Posted on by

Ian MacLeod, Canwest News Service Published: Wednesday, February 11, 2009  (Hat tip Grace)

More On This Story

OTTAWA — Canadians should be concerned but shouldn’t overreact to news that more homegrown extremists and suspected terrorists are believed operating here than ever before, says the RCMP’s top national security officer.

In his first in-depth interview since assuming command of the nascent National Security Criminal Investigations unit, Assistant Commissioner Bob Paulson said more terrorism arrests are expected in coming months.

“The threat we’re facing today is as threatening as it’s ever been,” he said during a hour-long talk in his headquarter’s office this week. “We’re as busy as we’ve ever been and a little busier, frankly,” but he added that the sky is not falling.

“You want Canadians and people who have a role to play to be engaged and you want them to understand the nature of the threat, but you have to balance that against the Chicken Little criticism.

“Even discussing national security investigations publicly and openly runs the risk of being misunderstood of saying, ‘the sky is falling.’ The threat is a significant threat [and] we and other agencies of the government are actively managing that threat.”

He said the increase in national security criminal cases — from 848 last May to an undisclosed but larger number now — is “marginal” and “nothing that people ought to be excessively worried about. That’s what we get paid to do.”

More concerning is the evolving origin of the threat.

“Historically, it’s always been the threat from somewhere else in the world coming over here. But it’s no secret to anyone that a larger part of the threat is the so-called homegrown threat and that’s certainly the lion’s share of the threat that we’re dealing with.”

Homegrown radicalization is now at the top of the government’s national security agenda. Several of the biggest terror attacks and threats in the West in recent years, from the transit attacks in Madrid and London to the foiled “liquid bomb” airline plotters, have come from previously unremarkable, law-abiding citizens largely unknown to authorities.

Hudson institute study of Islamic Brotherhood front organizations in North America

Posted on by

This is a rather important study to say the least. Bookmark this or download the PDF and save it for future reference as its critical to know exactly which organizations are fronts for terror jihad and Islamic domination of western civilization.

From the Hudson Institute:

The leadershipof the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood (MB, or Ikhwan) has said that its goal
was and is jihad aimed at destroying the U.S. from within. The Brotherhood leadership has
also said that the means of achieving this goal is to establish Islamic organizations in the
U.S. under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood. Since the early 1960s, the Brotherhood has
constructed an elaborate covert organizational infrastructure on which was built a set of public or
“front” organizations. The current U.S. Brotherhood leadership has attempted to deny this histo-
ry, both claiming that it is not accurate and at the same time that saying that it represents an older
form of thought inside the Brotherhood. An examination of public and private Brotherhood doc-
uments, however, indicates that this history is both accurate and that the Brotherhood has taken
no action to demonstrate change in its mode of thought and/or activity.
BACKGROUND
Goals of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood
A 1991 documentwritten by U.S. MB leader Mohammed Akram (a.k.a. Mohammed Adlouni)
explains the goal of the Brotherhood in America, which he identifies as “settlement:”
The general strategic goal of the Brotherhood in America which was approved by
the Shura [Leadership] Council and the Organizational Conference for 1987 is
“enablement of Islam in North America, meaning: establishing an effective and sta-
ble Islamic Movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood which adopts Muslims’
causes domestically and globally, and which works to expand the observant
Muslim base; aims at unifying and directing Muslims’ efforts; presents Islam as a
civilization alternative; and supports the global Islamic state, wherever it is.” …The
priority that is approved by the Shura Council for the work of the Brotherhood in
its current and former session is “Settlement.”1

Ottawa judge given RCMP protection Break-in reveals marriage of judge’s son, Khadr’s sister

From The Ottawa Citizen:

Zaynab Khadr apparently.

Zaynab Khadr giving the term 'bag lady' a whole new meaning

OTTAWA-Why did thieves pump three bullets into the back door and window of an Ottawa tax court judge’s house?

That’s the question at the heart of the police investigation into a break-in last month at the west Ottawa residence of Judge Patrick J. Boyle, whose family remains under RCMP protection.

The gunshots suggest the March 20 break-and-enter was not random or routine. The RCMP’s decision to keep two cruisers parked near the judge’s house Thursday indicates police also have an unusual level of concern.

There’s speculation that the shots could have been a warning related to one of the judge’s cases, or perhaps to the recent marriage of the Boyles’ son, Joshua, to Zaynab Khadr, a prominent member of Canada’s notorious “al-Qaeda family.”
