American Muslims are debating key questions of loyalty to America, a debate in which the stakes could not be higher. Alarmingly, "no fewer than four United States citizens and a permanent U.S. resident have risen to senior leadership posts within al-Qaeda," according to an Investors Business Daily editorial by Paul Sperry. Thus, "five English-speaking leaders are actively planning or facilitating attacks against their countrymen, while recruiting and radicalizing other American turncoats to carry them out."
The implications of this are frightening. No longer is America at war with a foreign enemy. The enemy is here -- an enemy who understands how "America works, having lived here for decades." Thus, fellow Americans are recruited by the enemy. These traitors are "fed by a native Muslim population once believed [to be] ... nonthreatening." Is this an aberration, or does Islam condone and promote this disloyalty?
I’d reorder the words in the title to: “Americans debate Muslim’s loyalty to America”. Maybe that’s not necessary—the debate should be over. “By their fruits shall ye know them,” as it were.
No, when more Americans die the Leftists will demand more appeasement.
Maybe. Remember that the Left has their pet victims. Leftists hate capitalism; some of my professors were visibly PLEASED on 9/11, watching those towers fall. But if terrorists took out a section of San Francisco? There would be a reaction. (I hope.)
Alarming?????????
The only thing alarming is that there aren't MORE of them.....
and I suspect there are.
What goes up can come down.
Yes, there’d be a reaction. More free scholarships for Wahabist Muslims, grant money for more Mosques and a crackdown on anyone critical of Islam. Even Berkley professors would accept it as indicating they haven’t been “understanding” and “accepting” enough of Islam.
You may be right. It’s hard to tell exactly what the victim hierarchy is for lefties, but so far it does kinda look like Muslims are at the top of their food chain.
Yep, I’m surprised that more of our Leftists aren’t bowing toward Mecca 5 times a day.
You know, if I were the type to make nasty jokes, I’d be tempted to note that gays and muslims spend a fair amount of time in the same position.
Islam: What the West Needs to Know” DVD
by Gregory M. Davis and Bryan Daly, producers
Since 9/11, numerous Western leaders have insisted that Islam is a peaceful religion, and that violence committed in its name contradicts the teachings of the Koran and the example of the prophet Muhammad. But is this true? Now, Islam: What the West Needs to Know, takes an unblinking look at the so-called “religion of peace” — and demonstrates that Islam is, in fact, a violent and expansionist religion that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government.
Featuring interviews with noted Islam experts Robert Spencer, Serge Trifkovic, Bat Ye’or, Abdullah Al-Araby, and former terrorist Walid Shoebat, Islam: What the West Needs to Know examines the Koran, other Islamic texts, and the example of the prophet Muhammad to reveal that violence against non-Muslims is and has always been an integral aspect of Islam.
The Islam: What the West Needs to Know DVD reveals:
How warfare — even terrorism — in the name of Islam stems directly from the teachings and example of the Prophet Muhammad and the commands of the Koran
The truth about Muhammad: a warlord with the blood of thousands on his hands — and how Muslims are expected to follow his example, as Christians are to follow Christ
How the Koran — considered by Muslims to be dictated word for word by Allah — explicitly commands violence against non-Muslims who resist conversion or surrender
“Jihad”: an “inner struggle” over temptation, as some Muslim apologists claim? Not so: how the Koran makes it clear it denotes warfare against non-Muslims in order to bring about the universal rule of Islamic law
How violent death in jihad is, according to the Koran, the only assurance of salvation
How, following Muhammad’s death, his ‘rightly-guided’ successors carried his wars to three continents — fighting, enslaving, and massacring countless Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, and others
How Islam, unlike Christianity, flourished and spread primarily through conquest, not peaceful evangelism
How the Crusades, mischaracterized as a violent assault on peaceful Muslims, were largely a belated response against centuries of Muslim conquest of Christian lands
The Islamic principle of ‘religious deception’ — which enjoins Muslims to deceive non-Muslims to advance the cause of Islam – and how Muslim groups use it today
How, throughout its history, Islam has never recognized a distinction between religious and civil authority
How Islamic “sharia” law governs every aspect of religious, political, and personal life — amounting to a form of totalitarianism analogous to Communism
Yep, and one of those groups does it 5 times a day.
