Shariah, the Threat to America (177 page report)

A report (pdf) has just been published by the Center for Security Policy, which should be taken seriously by anyone with an interest in national security issues, and particularly those in government. The report has been written by “TEAM B”, a panel of 19 people, headed by Lieutenant General William G. “Jerry” Boykin and Lieutenant General Harry Edward Soyster.

From 2003 to 2007 Boykin was Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, and Soyster was a former Director of Defense Intelligence Agency and Commanding General at U.S. Intelligence and Security Command.

The 17 associates in the report include Maj. Stephen C. Coughlin (ret.), Andrew McCarthy , Ambassador Henry Cooper, Admiral James A. “Ace” Lyons - US Navy (Ret.), former Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet, John Guandolo—former Special Agent, Counter-Terrorism Division, Federal Bureau of Investigation, R. James Woolsey—former Director of Central Intelligence and others.

The message is simple but strong. There may be some libertarian interpretations of sharia law, such as that practiced by the late Gus Dur, an Indonesian religious leader, where sharia is seen as a guide to personal conduct. That interpretation of sharia is rare, however, and more people and most Muslim nations respect the other end of the sharia spectrum. This shade of sharia is connected with Islamic supremacists (Islamists) who are directly opposed to all of the liberties and democracy that could only have grown in the Enlightenment and later. The Enlightenment values that inspired and informed the Founding Fathers to create America, which epitomises Western Democracy, are the antithesis of the extremist – Islamist – side of sharia.

"...The U.S. government line remains unchanged even as our enemies make plain the connection between their aggressive behavior and shariah-animated jihad. To cite but one example, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad publicly describes the ongoing “historic war between the oppressor and the world of Islam,” 34 Yet, Obama’s top counterterrorism advisor, John Brennan, insists that the President does not accept that there is a “Global War” with Islamic terrorists.

Brennan further announced that the term “jihadists” will no longer be used to describe our enemies. According to Mr. Brennan, to use the term “jihadists” in describing Islamic terrorists is a mistake because it is “a legitimate term, ‘jihad’ meaning to purify oneself or to wage a holy struggle for a moral goal.” He maintains that this use of the term to describe al Qaeda’s ruthless operatives “risks giving these murderers the religious legitimacy they desperately seek, but in no way deserve.”35 The problem with this formulation is that jihad as a “holy struggle for a moral goal” may not be in conflict al-Qaeda’s “ruthless” operations..."

This is not news to most FReepers, however, the information gathered and presented here is the best, most concise warning I have seen. It is an excellent source to pass on to those less informed.

Thanks.

When Muslims reach a critical mass, they start killing random people (including marginal and sectarian Muslims) to instill fear and retreat. They hide among “peaceful” Muslims who shield them. They depend on the vain attempt to separate out the killers from the innocent, the legal approach, when in fact it is a shooting war between all who hold the Muslim ideology and the rest of us. There may be a few authentic “moderate” Muslims. There is no such thing as moderate Islam. The book says what it says, not about people who lived thousands of years ago, but about You:

KORAN [9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
KORAN [9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair [Hebrew: Ezra] is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!
KORAN [9.31] They have taken their doctors of law and their monks for lords besides Allah, and (also) the Messiah son of Marium and they were enjoined that they should serve one God only, there is no god but He; far from His glory be what they set up (with Him).
KORAN [9.32] They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah will not consent save to perfect His light, though the unbelievers are averse.

This must be treated like a war. First, the Trojan Horse of “moderate” Muslims must not be alloweed to further infiltrate the West. Those already here must be monitored. You can do your part by talking to Muslims. Ask them about the abhorrent things in the Koran. Don’t forget the Hadith. Criticize: Push them to deny or defend. Muslims cannot stand criticism and go quickly from argument to anger when they realize you are steadfast and knowledgeable. Make them identify themselves. They depend on secrecy of their actions and beliefs, which there is no excuse to allow in the internet age. It may be uncomfortable but YOU must stand up for yourself and your beliefs and in the long run defend your family and your life. You will not be making enemies, only learning who they are before they stab you in the back, possibly literally.

Okay, there is a problem here. I DISAGREE that "moderate" Muslims need to be "encouraged". "Moderate" Muslims are the Trojan horse in and behind which "radicals" hide. No one can plausibly believe in what the Koran (or Hitler's Mein Kampf, which is popular among Muslims) says and claim to be moderate about anything. Some Muslims may be IGNORANT of the evil in Islamic texts. But any knowledgeable Muslim cannot claim to be "moderate".

HADITH Sahih Muslim [41:6985] Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

Truly "moderate" Muslims are useless. They will not kill, blow up or cut the throats of "radicals", their wives and their children. Few of them will take the chance of being killed by doing anything against the radicals and most of them are actually in sympathy with and assisting those who will kill you, your wives and children, no matter what they say to your face. (Look up Taqiyyah.) Muslims are forbidden to assist infidels against fellow Muslims, no matter what they do.

HADITH Sahih Bukhari [4:52:283] Narrated Abu Juhaifa:
I asked Ali, "Do you have the knowledge of any Divine Inspiration besides what is in Allah's Book?" 'Ali replied, "...we have what is written in this paper as well." I asked, "What is written in this paper?" He replied, "...the judgment that no Muslim should be killed for killing an infidel."

HADITH Sunan Abu Dawud [14:2526] Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Three things are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, "There is no god but Allah" and not to declare him unbeliever whatever sin he commits, and not to excommunicate him from Islam for his any action; and jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist). The tyranny of any tyrant and the justice of any just (ruler) will not invalidate it. One must have faith in Divine decree.

This book is useless if it recommends advancing "moderate" Islam. Muslims must be confronted at all times. "Moderates" must be shown that Islam itself is not moderate and need to be encouraged to leave it. (Difficult, since the penalty is DEATH.)

KORAN [4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

HADITH Sahih Bukhari [4:52:260] Narrated Ikrima:
Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' "

HADITH Sahih Muslim [5:2325] Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said:
A group would secede itself (from the Ummah) when there would be dissension among the Muslims. Out of the two groups who would be nearer the truth would kill them.
