The West's Islamist Infiltrators
The Jewish World Review ^ | August 12, 2008 | Daniel Pipes

Posted on 08/18/2008 6:58:27 AM PDT by PreviouslyA-Lurker

Aafia Siddiqui, 36, is a Pakistani mother of three, an alumna of MIT, and a Ph.D. in neuroscience from Brandeis University. She is also accused of working for Al-Qaeda and was charged last week in New York City with attempting to kill American soldiers.

Her arrest serves to remind how invisibly most Islamist infiltration proceeds. In particular, an estimated forty Al-Qaeda sympathizers or operatives have sought to penetrate U.S. intelligence agencies.

Such a well-placed infiltrator can wreck great damage explains a former CIA chief of counterintelligence, Michael Sulick: "In the war on terrorism, intelligence has replaced the Cold War's tanks and fighter planes as the primary weapon against an unseen enemy." Islamist moles, he argues, "could inflict far more damage to national security than Soviet spies," for the U.S. and Soviet Union never actually fought each other, whereas now, "our nation is at war."

Here are some American cases of attempted infiltration since 2001 that have been made public:...

This record prompts one to wonder what catastrophe must occur before government agencies, some of which have banished the words "Islam" and "jihad," seriously confront their internal threat?

Westerners are indebted to Muslim agents like Fred Ghussin and "Kamil Pasha" who have been critical to fighting terrorism. That said, I stand by my 2003 statement that "There is no escaping the unfortunate fact that Muslim government employees in law enforcement, the military and the diplomatic corps need to be watched for connections to terrorism."

So will we continue to allow Muslims from around the world to attend our universities and learn how to construct advanced weaponry?

We are idiots bent on our own destruction. Their own backward culture would never be advanced enough to move them along in modern technology, so they come to Western countries to learn it. 21st century technology and a 9th century mindset do not mix.

In particular, an estimated forty Al-Qaeda sympathizers or operatives, that we know about, have sought to penetrate U.S. intelligence agencies.

“Waheeda Tehseen, a Pakistani immigrant who filled a sensitive toxicologist position with the Environmental Protection Agency, pleaded guilty to fraud and was deported. World Net Daily explains that “investigators suspect espionage is probable, as she produced highly sensitive health-hazard documents for toxic compounds and chemical pesticides. Tehseen also was an expert in parasitology as it relates to public water systems.”

Unless and until Western governments get serious about their dealings with islam, the non-islamic citizenry of the world will be in harms way.

That's the way the 'great glory of islamic culture' has always operated.

Interesting link on Huma...besides allegedly muff diving Hillary I do wonder what kind of intelligence “nuggets” she’s been privy to and who she really works for.

I think the one big difference between Israel and the US of A is the ability to legally profile despite nationalities in Israel and in America there's thirty lawyers and fifty "muslim" agencies that salivate whenever someone uses the "profile/racist" BS. It's the reason America NEEDS Israel either to learn good profiling techniques or a great "sharing of intelligence' which benefits both countries. I've more than a feeling this happened when the Korean/Syrian reactor somehow blew up. Bottom line: If America cannot profile, cannot protect her borders and somehow make it much easier for American businesses to flourish in America then we'll have a very hard four years ahead...especially if the head crook runs the country.

This persecution of Muslims will come to an end once Barack Hussein Obama becomes President.
