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.

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.
Sorry for the double post. We’ll make that 2 beers! :)
Call your senators and DEMAND they put the heat on England. Don’t let him slip away from responsibility for his VERY BAD judgement.
Dominican Republic. Punta Cana. GRRREAT place! 6th time here in the last 7 Michigan winters. Do yourself a favor. I highly recommend it. Y’all deserve it.
Fascism and Communisms were secular religions. You win a war against a religion by making its practice so completely anti-social that people walk the other way on the street when they see either a Swastika or a Burkha.
I’ll be close by...Ft. Lauderdale next week! Not the DR but it will be green and warm. Don’t forget to hoist another one for me. ; )

Islam stays - Coughlin gone!
Bad news ((((PING))))!
Thanks for the ping. Quite a coincidence. For the last hour or so, I have been re-reading the Coughlin threads.
Very, very interesting. Thanks again for the ping and link.
Current Approach continues?
I don’t know why they think this, but it apparent tat this is what they do think
It just seems clear that England (DepSecDef), Mullen (CJCS) and now Edelman (AMB) do not agree in the analysis the Coughlin brings to the table. If they think it’s incorrect then he is just a dissident voice and as a contractor should not be retained.
It also seems that other than the one Rep, everyone in Congress and the Administration appears to believe the same.

Apologies for the double post.
Impatience.
Your analysis is correct. Unfortunately, Coughlin’s analysis explains the tepid response from Imams’ worldwide against terrorism, jihad and other violent behavior on part of many Muslims.
Good analysis. It possibly loops back around to a collective of advocates who have more influence than those who stand with “a Christian zealot with a pen”.

Thanks for your input and thanks for your post of Coughlin’s monumental work.
Sue Myrick seems to have become another subdued, chirping cricket at this point in time.
I found Coughlin’s analysis quite good. I too was reviewing some of the threads.
