“’The gathering climate of suspicion and mutual mistrust, exacerbated by the lack of engagement and dialogue, threatens to marginalize and alienate some Muslim Americans to the point where the danger of radicalization of a small minority could become a real possibility,’ the Chicago Council on Global Affairs report says. ‘It would take only a single, significant act of terrorism in the United States involving Muslim Americans to cement the impression that rampant radicalism has taken root within the community.’”
Note: “’only a single, significant act of terrorism. . .to cement the impression that rampant radicalism has taken root.’”
The Council calls on civil Muslims to carry the heavier end of the responsibility stick. It is up to them to cement in America civil relations before zealot Muslims set loose carnage. That carnage could spread widely and deeply to destroy this republic.
That is the crucial confrontation now facing this free nation. Will a single blowup start the domino falldown of others which will alarm citizenry to conclude that America has become another Iraq potential?
“’This is a group that is half-Muslim, half non-Muslim that came together because we believe that America is losing by not having the appropriate involvement of Muslim Americans in the civil discourse of politics,’ said task force co-chair Lynn Martin, a former Republican congresswoman and secretary of labor in the George H.W. Bush administration. ‘This is not whiny. This is not about what’s wrong. What it says is, here are some potential solutions.’”
In Iraq, street killers under Allah win. No peace politicians or agencies can quell street killers intent on blowing up themselves and others. Sudan is ablaze. So is Darfur. So is the Middle East. So is Afghanistan. Will that occur in North America?
It could.
The Council is at least realistic enough to posit that scenario though many in the United States, including government officials, are playing the ostrich in the sand game. The latter will prove only to assist the zealots in their Iraq World Rule agenda.
“A better-integrated Muslim population would better serve the United States as it navigates critical domestic and foreign-policy challenges involving Muslim populations, a new report argues,” media reports.
“Sponsored by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, the report released Tuesday says that greater U.S. Muslim involvement in the public square is crucial to the nation’s security and well-being, and that Muslims are largely responsible for finding ways to make themselves heard.
“The report by a 32-member nationwide task force culled from academia, politics and the business and nonprofit worlds largely avoids sensitive questions about attitudes toward U.S. foreign and security policy.
“Among them: expanded counterterrorism partnerships between Muslim Americans and law enforcement, development of a leadership network of prominent Muslim Americans to work with youth and serve as ‘community ambassadors,’ building stronger Muslim American institutions and working with coalitions on common concerns like immigration and health care.
“The report also calls on the media and government to fairly portray and involve Muslims in the national discourse, but suggests Muslims carry greater responsibility.”

“A better-integrated Muslim population would better serve the United States as it navigates critical domestic and foreign-policy challenges involving Muslim populations, a new report argues,” media reports.What does this mean, precisely? Integrated how? How are muslims not integrated, or how are they not being afforded the same opportunities for integration as anyone else?
So who should compromise their beliefs?
Radicalization? See upstate New York.
The headline is not in English. I don’t understand it.
Integrated means public footbaths, refusal by muzzie cabbies of passengers with alcohol, refusal of muzzie checkers to ring up pork, mosques on every corner, hijabs for women. In other words we bow to sharia law and integrate with them.
Sounds as if this is 100% true. I can’t understand why they don’t get involved.
Unfortunately Islam, like some left of center political parties in Germany after WW-I, has been swallowed up by a fascist movement bent on world domination. Islam has become the Nazi Party of the 21st Century. Like many ordinary Germans in the 1930s being coerced into becoming Nazis ordinary Muslims are being sucked up into Islamic fascism. Moderate Muslims have disappeared just like anti-Nazi Germans did in the 1930s.
