What Every American Needs to Know About Jihad

By FrontPage Magazine

Is Islamic jihad just a harmless form of spiritual struggle -- as is often argued by Western apologists for radical Islam? Is Jihadi violence simply a twisted, hijacked version of Islam, rejected by traditional Muslims? The David Horowitz Freedom Center's new Terrorism Awareness Project, which seeks to educate Americans, and especially college students about jihad, confronts questions such as these. It has produced a powerful new flash video, What Every American Needs to Know About Jihad. This video is adapted from a new pamphlet by Robert Spencer, which puts the threat of jihadist ideology into historical perspective. As Spencer makes clear, the religious imperatives of jihad demand the subjugation or killing of infidels and form the poisoned logic of Islamists' expansionist war against America and the West.

Thanks, SJackson.

Knitting, Bah and Sleuthy, thought you guys would be interested in reading this.

Lots of paperwork this morning, so this seems faster than taking it over to the 'homethread.'

Looking forward to the Libby-show, in between writing. ;-)

Thanks, pinz.

Interesting. I was pretty sure there were people working on this issue and seeing it with some clarity.

I am pleased that I haven't heard the President recently telling us about the ROP.

Someone needs to make a new movie.

I don't know if I'd say it's that far fetched. 

While living in super liberal South Philadelphia (Probably 90% D voters, and maybe 40 holding moonbat liberal views, like Castro is great) MOST folks would probably pick up arms to fight against the jihadis.  However, there's enough that due to their own tortured mental machinations would side with the jihadiis and collaborate with them.

However, I think it's going to be tough for islam to gain enough of a demographic foothold in the U.S. to stage some type of overtake by force.  Our birthrates are still very high.

Most of Europe on the other hand, doesn't really have much of a future.  When your native born birth rate is far below replacement (say 1.3 births per woman) and you're addicted to super expensive welfare programs which make a quickly growing workforce necessary, you're going to rely on what could only be described as irresponsible immigration policies.  In a surprisingly short amount of time, the jihadiis from Pakistan and Tunisia who are having 8 kids are going to outnumber François and Gianni.

Good night Europe.  Uncle Sucker isn't going to be able to pull you out of this self-made morass.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

I'm not sure how many would be informers, but I know about half of the folks in Kingston would be too busy hiding and trying to keep their pants dry to be worth anything as a citizen soldier. My immediate neighbors are redneck like me, so if the Islamonazi's came up my street there'd be lots of firepower rained down upon them. Scary thought though.

Thomas Sowell estimates that eleven million slaves were shipped across the Atlantic and fourteen million were sent to the Islamic nations of North Africa and the Middle East. [1] David Livingstone estimated that for every slave who reached the plantation, five others died by being killed in the raid or died on the forced march from illness and privation. [2] So, for 25 million slaves delivered to the market, we have the collateral death of about 120 million people. Muslims ran all the wholesale slave trade in Africa. Death toll: 120 million Africans

A bit of an exaggeration. I am familiar with the Livingstone figure, but he specifically applies that to slaves who were trans-shipped across the Sahara, not all African slaves. The figure does not apply to slaves for the North American market who were shipped out of Ghana and other West African sites. Nor does it apply to slaves for the South Asian market who were shipped out of Mombasa and Zanzibar.

I agree with the author's point, he's just well off in this figure.

Lately, I have wondered about what will happen as Islamists continue to gain stronger footholds in America and subsequently become more militant. The other night I brought the topic up at a dinner with 8 friends. Most everyone there felt that political correctness and liberal thinking could open the door to a militant Islamic presence in America.

So, I brought up the scenario posed in the 80's movie RED DAWN that depicted a Soviet/Cuban invasion and takeover in America.

You need to do at least a little more reading so that you can have something to compare the movie to. Try this book: Americas Last Days, by Douglas MacKinnon

Note that one of the primary problems faced during the Revolutionary War was the matter of how to deal with those who maintained their allegiance to the King and Great Britain. Following the war, many fled for Canada or elsewhere in the Empire, but some attempted to remain among their successful neighbors. Bad move.

The fledgling American government had more pressing matters that had to be dealt with, from establishing currency to adopting the U.S. Constitution itself. And so the matter of dealing with *loyalists* and Tories fell to the veterans of that first American war. The result was no more pretty than it had been during the war itself.

Hangings were most common. But since the national army was a minimal thing, it sometimes fell to local militia units to deal with those who resisted, and those new recruits who had not been tested by fire in the previous bloodletting were sometimes given the chance to perform such executions with their previously untarnished bayonets.

And to this day, the leftists and Quisling legislators have a fear of effective weaponry with bayonet lugs in the hands of their fellow citizens. Now you know why.

I've read a great deal of the materials from CSPI, and I'm very impressed with the quality of the work. It's great stuff.

Something I find curious though is, aside from this fellow that's a spokesman, there's never any information about who these scholars are, how many there are, what their backgrounds are. I suppose there's an easy assumption that their lives might be at risk, but does anyone know why they're so invisible?

I see some reality in your conversation. One difference from the movie you referred to, probably the most important one is that the US covers a lot of territory. In square miles we are monstrous compared to most countries. We have roads that can take us almost anywhere within our borders so the odds of a same day nationwide attack are so minimal that it hardly deserves thinking about.

In this day of PC and public schooling I see teachers as our greatest threat. They have to enforce PC or they lose their job. IMO, national security isn't a high priority item on their agenda.

The younger kids in the classrooms could easily be tricked with a slight sleigh of hand into revealing so much information about their parents. The kids are taught by anti gun teachers who with a little prodding could be steered to ask questions such as, "Did your Dad go hunting last deer, duck, bear, _________ season. Did you go with him? Was it fun? How many guns does your Dad have?"

One camera can effectively record all the rifle range visitors and their vehicle license plate numbers. A computer system can easily scan your credit card accounts. See what purchases were made at an ammo shop and give the details about what was purchased.

So even with the possibility of an attack or a national firearm confiscation I personally doubt that we have the people willing to do it to the best of their ability. I hope a majority of LEO's would just refuse to particpate.

Sidebar Comment: I assume most folks keep all the firearms they own in their personal residence. Have you ever considered how you would feel if you came home and found the BATFE or some other burglar wearing a badge had been there earlier and cleaned you out, lock stock and barrel?

I know the odds of it happening are slim and almost certainly never going to happen but why not be prepared for the just in case.

Stashing an old .45 and a .22 rifle away isn't a bad idea, IMO.

"...We would be out of food in less than a week and the panic would be wide spread."

My neighbor and I have discussed this issue as it related to a natural catastrophe. We both are farmer/ranchers and have the provisions to be self sufficient for 6 weeks or longer during an emergency. We have decided it would require lots of ammo and perhaps strategic retreat into a multifamily compound if looters tried to advance.

An Islamofascist attack would be different. The Islamofascist's had better outnumber us 200 to 1 or they don't stand a chance. We know the lay of the land and can shoot an eye out of a fly at 100 yards. Lot's of guns on the peninsula. Besides, Hadji can't shoot straight.

RE: "...how their neighbors might react if jihadis became militant to the point of taking over an area and setting up a holding center at the local football field where infadels could be brought before a Sharia Court."

(...It's the Left Coast!)...Just guessing here... that those you could count upon would be significantly fewer than you'd hope.
