IGNORING ISLAMO-FASCISM AT OUR PERIL

HOW POLITICAL CORRECTNESS WILL DESTROY AMERICA: THE WAY AMERICANS ARE LEAVING THEMSELVES VULNERABLE TO FUTURE ISLAMIST
TERROR ATTACKS -- MOSQUES IN THE U.S.A. AS HOTBEDS OF ISLAMIC RADICALISM, SEDITION, & TREASON -- THE WORLDWIDE ISLAMIST TERRORISM
INTENDED BY ITS PERPETRATORS TO BRING ABOUT THE GLOBAL DOMINATION OF ISLAM & ISLAMIC LAW -- THE CONTROVERSY OVER THE NEW YORK POLICE
DEPARTMENT PROGRAM AIMED AT MONITORING MOSQUES & THEREBY THWARTING FUTURE TERROR ATTACKS
FULL STORY:
In early November, 2009, Americans were shocked to learn that an Army psychiatrist, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, had shot and killed twelve soldiers at Fort Hood,
Texas, and wounded thirty-one others. Because of the unrelenting political correctness prevailing in the Army and other services, all the signs that Hasan was a
ticking time bomb were ignored.
Hasan was known to be a Muslim, had exhibited signs of a growing fanaticism, occasionally showed up in the Post Exchange dressed in Arab garb, and, as it
turned out later, was being mentored by Yemen’s al-Qa'ida leader, Anwar al-Awlaki , an American citizen who was later killed by a drone strike. As Hasan stood
before the soldiers, firing at them, he yelled “Allah Akbar.”
This and other attacks planned, failed and thwarted, occurring before and since the 9/11 attack (an attack that stunned Americans) all contribute to the worldwide
terrorism intended to bring about the global domination of Islam. Not only has the memory faded, but, in 2009, the Obama administration did away with the earlier
description of “a war on terrorism,” it ordered the Pentagon to replace it with “overseas contingency operations.”
The administration’s magical thinking about the Islamo-Fascist threat makes one wonder why it has a Department of Homeland Security.
When it became known that the New York City Police Department was training its force to be especially watchful for any signs of terrorist attacks and was paying
close attention to the mosques in the city and across the river in New Jersey, there was an outcry that totally ignored the threat. Initially, they were rebuked by
the Governor of New Jersey, a state where the 1993 attack on the Twin Towers was planned. One of the conspirators arrested lived in my hometown!
A report by the NYPD notes that Newark police officers worked closely “at all times” with their New York City counterparts. Much of the criticism of the NYPD’s
program has been due to its success!
In a new book by Peter Feaman, The Next Nightmare: How Political Correctness Will Destroy America ($14.99, Dunham Books, softcover), a trial lawyer
with thirty years’ experience, warns against the way Americans are leaving themselves vulnerable to future attacks. “Intolerance of Christianity and Judaism, and
violence against infidels, is preached weekly in mosques across the United States.”
A great deal of the problem is that Americans believe that Islam is a "religion." Historically, it has been a cult of conquest that merges its belief system with a
political agenda in which Sharia law is intended to be imposed throughout the world. Its early, swift spread was based on terror and warfare.
No other “religion” preaches death to believers of other faiths. No other “religion” demands that apostates who convert be sentenced to death. No other
“religion” resorts to intimidation on the scale of Islam. It is Fascism masquerading as religion.
“At the end of World War II,” notes Feaman, “there were about fifty mosques located in the United States. Today there are more than 1,300 — and the number
grows monthly.” Much of the funding comes from Saudi Arabia for Sunni mosques and Iran for Shiite mosques.
There are moderate Muslims seeking reform within Islam and there are Muslims who are loyal Americans. They are, however, vastly outnumbered by those with
very bad intentions.
The NYPD program aimed at monitoring mosques is critical to thwart future attacks. “The six men of the al-Qa'ida sleeper cell in Lackawanna, New York — who
were arrested by the FBI in 2001 for attending an al-Qa'ida terrorist training camp in Afghanistan — all belonged to the same Lackawanna mosque.”
“In Florida’s Dade and Broward Counties, an imam and his two sons were arrested on May 14, 2011, charged with funneling money to the Pakistani Taliban….”
“A Sunni mosque in suburban Beaverton, Oregon, was the meeting ground for six members indicted by U.S. federal authorities in 2002 for conspiring to provide
aid to the Taliban and al-Qa'ida terrorists.”
The Al-Farooq mosque in Brooklyn has been in the public spotlight for more than ten years as a hotbed of Islamic radicalism, sedition, and treason. The Imam
there, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, was convicted in 1995 of conspiracy to bomb New York City landmarks.”
Islamo-Fascism is spreading everywhere, but especially in Europe, where many acts of terrorism have occurred. By 2050, Muslims will be in control of most
European nations by sheer weight of numbers. The “Arab spring” is rapidly becoming the means by which Islamists are gaining control throughout those
nations that overthrew their mostly secular dictators.
If we don’t want a repeat of the Fort Hood murders — labeled “workplace violence” by the Obama administration — if we don’t want another Times Square car
bomb that, mercifully, was disarmed. If we want to be protected against future attacks, we must rid ourselves of the political correctness that will get us killed.
The notion that the New York City Police Department would come under fire for acting preemptively to prevent further attacks in the City is beyond absurd. It
is suicidal.
