For Radical Islam: The Double Whammy of a Palin Presidency

09/10/2011 | Brices Crossroads

[Brices Crossroads]

As the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terror attack on our country approaches, every American should pause to reflect upon the cultural and economic transmogrification of our country. Economically, we are distinctly poorer. In 2001, the price of gasoline was $1.52. It remained above $2 for nearly the entire Bush Presidency and has crossed the $4 barrier, remaining stubbornly above $3 for nearly the entire Obama admistration. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which stood at 11,175 on June 5, 2001, after some wild gyrations, now stands...still...at a dismal 10,992, lower than it was when Bill Clinton left office. George Bush hardly deserves any great praise in this regard since the DOW stood at a miserable 8829 when he left office in January 2009 and, even before the September 2008 financial meltdown, posted a lackluster 11,543 on August 29, 2008.

Meanwhile, the Islamofascist regimes in the Middle East are awash in oil profits, representing a gigantic transfer of our wealth to them since 9/11.

Culturally, the transformation of our country has been even more apparent. The feverish outreach to Islam, post 9/11, which began under Bush and accelerated under Obama, is particularly odd in light of the fact that nineteen Islamic adherents perpetrated the attacks on Washington and New York. No one would advocate a Korematsu-style internment of American citizens, who adhere to Islam, or even discrimination against them. But the degree to which our society has been culturally bent to the will of Islam in the last decade is truly perplexing. It would be akin to an outreach to Shintoism and Japanese culture by FDR after Pearl Harbor. The correct approach for Muslim Americans would be the one taken by Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor. Their horror and embarrassment over Pearl Harbor spurred them to deeds of unprecedented valor and patriotism embodied in the legendary "Go For Broke" 442nd Regiment of Japanese Americans, the most decorated regiment in the history of the United States, with 21 Medal of Honor recipients. Rather than expecting and demanding outreach from the country which they loved, they--through their heroism--reached out to America. They became EVEN more "American" than their fellow citizens. The Japanese Americans of World War II, in spite of the outrageous internment of many of their families, sought even more to become assimilated and to prove their patriotism. Americans who adhere to the Muslim faith would do well to emulate their example.

As the 2012 Presidential race comes into sharper focus, it is becoming increasingly apparent that four individuals have a chance to become President of the United States in 2012--the incumbent Barack Obama, and three Republicans: Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin. The Real Clear Politics average of the polls in which Palin is included (and excluding the FOX outlier that was taken by Daron Shaw, Perry's pollster) has Perry at 26%, Romney at 17% and Palin (as yet unannounced) at 12%. Prior to his announcement on August 13, Perry had 15% support, and a similar (if not greater) surge in Governor Palin's poll numbers can be expected when she formally announces her candidacy.

Of the three, which would be the most effective in rolling back the gains, both economic and cultural, that Islam has made in this country during the last decade? Let's start with Romney. No one seriously expects Romney, whose name is synonymous with "nebbish" in the Oxford English Dictionary, to push back in any meaningful way against Islamic and Sharia-friendly encroachments into the culture or to press hard for energy independence against a resistant federal bureaucracy or Congress.

Rick Perry projects a toughness and a swagger that would at first blush give one hope that he would be a vigorous defender of American cultural and economic interests. On oil exploration, he would undoubtedly be better than Obama, but so would Romney. However, neither Romney nor Perry has had occasion to take any innovative steps to spur energy development, Romney because his was not an energy producing state and Perry because Texas was already a well developed energy producing state when he arrived. But, on the cultural front, Perry's friendliness with Muslim Imam Aga Kahn, and his connections to the Hamas front group Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), raises serious questions concerning his commitment to Western culture as opposed to the Islamic interpretation of that culture. Far more disturbing than the Perry-Khan friendship, Khan has apparently had an impact on policy in Texas as well.

Perry and Khan have confected two cooperation agreements between the state of Texas and Ismaili institutions, the most significant of which is a program, now pervading every Texas public school, to proselytize and to desensitize, schoolchildren about Islam. Dubbed the "Muslim Histories and Culture Project", it really amounts to Islamic propaganda forced upon a captive audience...the impressionable youngsters attending Texas public schools.

Up until a few weeks ago, the Texas school curriculum could be viewed on the SAN ANTONIO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT's own website:

www.saisd.net/admin/curric/sstudies/mhcp/mhcproject.html

This link has now mysteriously disappeared. I wonder if that has anything to do with the following posting on Pam Gellar's Blog, which exposes the entire enterprise, and which thankfully saved the curriculum abstracts:

LINK

Before the link to the San Antonio Independent School District Website was disabled and the website scrubbed, Gellar and company had lifted the curriculum abstracts from it, which show:

"a) High praise for Gov. Perry's collaboration with the Aga Khan, leaving no question about Perry's complicity and active support; and b) A thorough whitewashing of the nature and history of Islam that ignores Islam's bloody history while simultaneously portraying the Crusades as a bloody assault on Islamic soil by Christians."

*******************************

The curriculum abstracts characterize the interaction of Islam and Christianity as follows:

"While Islam "spreads" and "extends," presumably in the same way that dew forms on flower petals, Crusaders "wrest political control of the Holy Land from Muslim rulers, damaging the positive relations that had previously existed." Nowhere is it mentioned that the Crusades were prompted by two crises: (1) the ruthless treatment of Christian pilgrims attempting to see Jerusalem, which was under Muslim control, and (2) Byzantine Emperor Alexius's plea for European knights to help him take back territory that had just been overrun by an invasion of Muslim Turks. "

***********************************************

Also lifted from the now scrubbed website was the following:

"A presentation of the Koran and Muhammad that can only be described as open proselytization for Islam in public schools."

That Rick Perry would endorse such revisionist history, which whitewashes Muslim excesses while indicting Christianity as the culprit, gives me not a bit of confidence that he would do anything to slow the rapid Islamicization of American culture, a process which has come to full bloom in Europe with disastrous consequences.

And Palin? On the economic front, she would undertake an energy development program similar to Reagan's arms buildup in the 1980s, in the following sense. Reagan understood that the Soviet economy was too sick and fragile to keep up with the United States and that, if he pressed it with such an arms race, the Soviet Union would collapse. Palin understands that the Islamic economies are even more fragile than the old Soviet Union, almost solely dependent, as they are, upon oil exports. Palin further understands that the United States has the largest fossil fuel deposits (including coal, oil and natural gas) in the world, equivalent to one trillion three hundred twenty four billion (1,324,000,000,000) barrels of oil (called Barrel of Oil Equivalents or BOE). Russia is second at one trillion two hundred forty six billion(1,246,000,000,000) BOE, with Saudi Arabia and China a distant third and fourth with roughly five hundred billion BOE each. The United States has more fossil fuel reserves than Saudi Arabia, China and Iraq combined. We have more than three times the BOE reserves of Iran.

Palin alone seems to understand that, with an all out effort to develop our own vast resources and our superior ingenuity and technology, we can crater the economies of those Middle Eastern regimes which wish us ill and, at the same time, send the U.S economy soaring into the stratosphere. Her successes in spurring energy development in Alaska with ACES and AGIA are but a microcosm of her designs for the American economy at large.

The second "whammy" of a Palin Presidency would be cultural. Palin never fails to push the notion of American exceptionalism, and it is clear that her election would portend a genuine renewal of pride in our rich history and culture. But, given the distinctly second class role to which women are relegated in fundamentalist Islamic societies, in which for example men refuse to shake hands with women and require that they be veiled in public, Sarah Palin's election would have a significant symbolic effect as well. When she meets with Arab heads of state, you can bet she won't be veiled. And I doubt if any of them will have the courage to refuse to shake her hand. The optics of such meetings will tell the world in unambiguous terms: The United States is back. On its own terms. Deal with it.

What particularly scares OPEC is that the USA still has some of the best petroleum engineers in the world--after all, the majority of the world's oil production services companies are based in the USA, especially around Houston, TX.

With the right political will, we could end up exploiting several trillion barrels of extractable crude oil on the North American continent--enough to potentially cut OPEC's business by 40% or more! And that's not including developing biofuels using fast-growing oil-laden algae, a process that Chevron, Conoco Phillips, Exxon Mobil, and the US divisions of Royal Dutch Shell are already researching.

Certainly, both Christianity and Islam play important roles in all World History courses. I do think, however, that Charles is glossing over the other issue that I raised—the program implemented by Perry promotes one religion (Islam) whilst denigrating another (Christianity). Even leaving aside the toxic effects on our culture of revisionist Islamic history, the Establishment Clause forbids “endorsement” of any religion over another and the Perry-Khan curriculum looks suspiciously like an endorsement to me. While I don’t generally agree with over-expansive readings of the Establishment Clause by the Supreme Court this violation appears to be pretty clear. I imagine Texas has side-stepped such a challenge by asserting that the program is non-sectarian and that it has a secular purpose.

It certainly doesn’t seem to have a purely secular purpose to me.

Most people probably don’t have a problem with the fact that Governor Perry is friends with a prominent muslim. The problem arises when that friendship is parlayed into wide-scale indoctrination of Texas’ youngsters.

[Brices Crossroads]

Exactly right. The USA has both the natural resources and the talent to develop its energy.

In case you missed these and want a good look at Islam and realize what it is - certainly not a religion.

Sharia is indeed a “complete way of life” (social, cultural, military, religious, and political), governed from cradle to grave by Islamic law NOT theosophy… Shariah is, moreover, a doctrine that mandates the rule of Allah over all aspects of society.”

Sorry the links did not appear as active links, so you would need to copy and paste them into your browser to get the articles. I always use the same method of posting them but it sometimes the link works and sometimes does not.

Great post, I hope she runs.

That might well be, and Texas is Texas after all. If they accept this at face value nd without question, there is nothing I can do about it. BUT when it threatens to overflow into the highest office in the land, I would be derelict not doing due diligence and studying exactly what rick perry has actually done in Texas.
We are continuously saying that obama is known by the company he keeps. Why is it suddenly different for rick perry? aga khan is no moderate muslim, but how many Texans have delved into the man? How many know anything except what they have been told either by him or by perry? This is a bad guy. His followers fear him and speak about him in whispers.
What makes this hard to pin down, is it isn’t in all Texas schools, only ones specifically chosen by aga khan and rick perry and funded by aga khan. It IS spreading, however, as they train more teachers. Parents are not informed about this.

Abraham Lincoln

Mr. Lincoln and his so called reputation is BS. He did NOT like blacks and didn't want them in the country. He said that his solution was to ship them all back to where they came from. There is much documentation to substantiate this statement.

Lincoln wanted to keep the states together and he purposely goaded the south until they fired on Ft. Sumpter and he has his excuse for war. He only initiated the Emancipation Proclamation after much pressure. He didn't want the blacks here at all and didn't want them to inter marry or be the equal to whites.

There are many documents which attest to that. He merely wanted to make sure the Union stayed together and that he wasn't seen as the President who let it break apart.

I hope the he**, and I believe, that Sarah Palin is far above Lincoln.

[CharlesWayneCT]

I read the actual course outline, and it didn’t. I realise that there was this web site that people claim said something different, that disappeared, and that the people who know about the course say wasn’t representative of the course, but all I can speak to is the course information itself.

But I do have to say your treatment is much better than is typical when this issue comes up. Usually we end up confusing the Kahn thing with the federally mandated program that Perry had nothing to do with, that actually did teach what you are saying, and was roundly attacked by Texans everywhere.

[CharlesWayneCT]

that is usually very negative towards Sarah Palin

I don't say anything negative towards Sarah Palin. That's why I've taken to quoting her, because I'm tired of agreeing with Palin and having a few of her supporters attack me for it

If you have a problem with me quoting Sarah Palin, take it up with Sarah Palin. I can't help it if you read her own quoted words and think it reflects negatively on her. I certainly don't think so.

The Agha Khan, who traditionally gets publicly weighed every year and is donated his weight in gold, is the leader of a tiny (2% - 5%) fairly innocuous Shia Moslem sect, mostly limited in their area of influence. Though the famous Assassins (hashishians) of Persia were Ismailis.

MUCH WORSE in Texas, is the passage of a bill in the Texas Senate to award Fetullah Gulen - the Turkish equivalent to Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini a Certificate of Gratitude to praise him for his services!

Gulen was exiled from Turkey by SECULAR government but was pardonned by the Supreme Court there after the Islamic de-facto takeover of power by “jihadist” Prime Minister Erdogan. Erdegan has pre-emptively arrested many of the top military leaders who have traditionally backed the secular government that was set up Kamal Attaturk nearly a century ago.

Based in Philadelphia, Gulen has set up Islamic Shariah schools North to Soouth from coast to coast, where they also preach Islamic sedition “as Allah has decreed”.

You can read detailed analysis of this in the comment above and have the ammunition to confront Dhimmi apologists for Obama’s bias toward promoting everything Moslem and the danger America and the West faces.

Compared to Gulen, who has about two million followers inside Turkey, the Ismaili leader Karim Agha Khan is a gentle little kitten.

[MestaMachine]

Of course you don’t. You never do. But quotes out of context is as good as a lie. You DO know that.

[MestaMachine]

How much do you know about aga khan? Do you know that he is worshipped as a deity? That his followers pray to him or a picture of him? That his mosques in pakistan were ruled by the Pakistani high court as Houses of Aga Khan as differentiated by Houses of Allah? That he has never once worshipped with his own followers but is a practicing sunni?
And, yes, gulen is as dangerous.

[Cacique]

Palin is and is and typical of what passes for ignorant politicians in our party. Trying ohso hard not to offend muslims with the idiotic statement that there is a small minority of muslims that want us dead. That’s like saying that all most communists are not socialists and only a small minority want socialism. Or to take the logic even further that there were moderate nazis during WW II that we could have approached. It ignores that the problem with islam is the ideology of islam itself. Pretending that the doctrine is not the problem is simply continuing to commit suicide..

The daughter of a formerly close friend is married to one of the sons and lives in Switzerland. Her sister lives in the USA. I have lost touch but can restore ties at will. No motivation to do so.

Used to know everything about them but memory fades.

Keep reading, Casique. Charles is NOT the last word on this.

[SandRat]

Muslims chose to follow the poverty pimp way - endless guilt trips, pity parties and lawyers. In the short run it works, in the long run everyone is creeped out...

A pretty good description of LibTurd Democrats as well.

[chris_bdba]

I believe you are right because Sarah would pop their little bubbles with straight forward blunt honesty and liberals do not take that very well.
