Embattled Muslim aide to leave Pentagon job
World Net Daily ^ | February 11, 2008 | Staff

Hesham Islam's 'resume didn't add up,' official says

In a stunning turn of events, a high-level Muslim military aide blamed for costing an intelligence contractor his job will step down from his own Pentagon post, WND has learned.

Meanwhile, his rival, Maj. Stephen Coughlin, a leading authority on Islamic war doctrine, may stay in the Pentagon, moving from the office of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the office of the secretary of defense. However, sources say a former U.S. ambassador to Turkey is trying to block his new contract.

The top Pentagon aide, Egyptian-born Hesham H. Islam, came under a cloud of suspicion after reports raised doubt about his resume and contacts he had made with radical Muslims. He is expected to leave the government next month, officials say.

Islam and Coughlin recently quarreled over intelligence briefings Coughlin presented showing a close connection between the religion of Islam and terrorism. Coughlin's contract with the Joint Chiefs, which ends in March, was not renewed.

Mr. Coughlin wrote an excellent 320+ paper carefully documenting that the Koran supports Jihad.

Here are some good links regarding the attempted firing of Stephen Coughlin by the Islamist wing of our government. Some posts by fellow FReepers are excellent.

I know He has. This just is so unbelievable to me. This person sat in on high security meetings. This makes me sadder that we do not have a GOP Nominee that I think will
keep this country safe.

"This makes me sadder that we do not have a GOP Nominee that I think will keep this country safe."

Prediction: One more 9/11 type terrorist attack in America and every muzzie swinging dick will have to pack up his koran & family and go back to whatever hellhole they originated from. Our ancestors didn’t risk life & limb to emigrate to this country just so a bunch of camel jockeys could come here, terrorize our women & children and make hamburger out of our families!

You are so right. Most corporations would have you out that day without cleaning out your desk. We are just letting him get more information. No, our officials will never learn.

His resume did not add up? What kind of liberal back peddling is this shote. The guy is a traitor, or a 5th column liberal socialist spy!

Hesham Islam is a Taqiya agent.

His job was to dull the edge of the US military so that the jihadis would be able to gather their forces, focus them, depose the House of Saud, and take Mecca n behalf of the jihad. Its not too harsh to say that Hesham Islam should be taken to the nearest shooting range and there executed as a traitor in time of war. His AH buddy Gordon England should be put on trial.

This current result is thanks to some true believers inside the FBI, who got wind of this treason and ran with it.

The DoD should not be allowed "damage control" on this situation, heads SHOULD roll.

The damage control shows that we still have a lot of work to do to get rid of this nest of Muslim vipers and their dhimmis.

The Koran teaches that it is okay to lie to the infidel.

Lying to the infidel is Islam 101. Just ask President elect Hussein....

Coughlin is a major in the Army Reserves.

The writers are taking license with his rank and position to make their story have a greater impact - “Army Major Islamic Expert Fired”

Somewhere, I remember writing and asking the question of how soon would England jettison Islam in a damage control move.

Now we know.

I am so SICK of the hyphenated American thing. It is sickening that it has become so commonplace and accepted. It is divisive and should never be used. Either you are an American or you aren’t. As far as I’m concerned a self identified Mexican-American, Italian-American or Muslim-American are just stating that they are Mexicans, Italians or Muslims living in America but not loyal or committed to America.

Interesting that this comes out the day of (or day after) the DoD guy is arrested for espionage.

I think coincidences happen for a reason.

Gordon England has screwed up darn near everything he touched. Think of him as McNamara without the enthusiasm.

He should have been fired a long time ago.

“Gordon England has screwed up darn near everything he touched.”

Like?

Inquiring minds want to know?

It would take a while to dig out the details. I used to work acquisition, and over a period of time I realized that every time I heard the man’s name, it was connected to a significant lack of understanding about what a given weapon system was supposed to do. I got the impression he didn’t understand enough about the military to ask the right questions.

I no longer do that sort of work, so I’d have to dig into old news stories to put it all together again.

Thanks. He is DoD’s acquisition guy.

BTW: Wasn’t trying to be snippy. Hope it didn’t come out that way. Just curious.

Thanks for the GRRRRRRREAT news ping! This makes my week vacation down here in the Caribbean all the more enjoyable. I’m going back down the beach to hoist up a victory beer with my co-patriots.
