The Islamist Threat Inside Our Military
AIFD ^ | August 19, 2011 | M. Zuhdi Jasser

Posted on 08/30/2011 4:58:44 AM PDT by nuconvert

Our armed forces are becoming ground zero for American Muslims in the ideological struggle between Americanism and Islamism. U.S. Army Pvt. Naser Abdo points to that serious conflict.

Pvt. Abdo was arrested recently in possession of weapons and explosive materials. Investigators say he told them he planned to attack the military. The private has publicly complained that he faced discrimination because he is Muslim.

How many Islamists gone militant do we need to attack us before our military addresses radicalization among its Muslim members? Political correctness and denial are not working.

The vast majority of Muslims serve with honor and distinction. They are not the problem. The problem is the subset of Muslims who are Islamists.

Naser Abdo was arrested on July 27, 2011, in Killeen, Texas, in a motel near Fort Hood, site of the massacre in November 2009. As he was led out of a federal courtroom, he shouted "Nidal Hasan Fort Hood 2009!" And like Maj. Hasan, the shooter in that massacre, he did not become a militant overnight. Radicalization is a natural evolution for an individual consumed by the narrative of anti-American, theo-political Islamism.

There is an irreconcilable conflict between allegiance to the United States, with its secular Constitution, and fealty to the consciousness of an Islamist state that centers on the Quran as its constitution and the ummah (Muslim nation) as its global citizenry. The crucial question a Muslim soldier needs to be asked is this: "Do you have any sense of loyalty to the ummah and its Islamic state?" Those who answer in the affirmative pose a problem.

I wonder how many of them handle nuclear weapons.

Since muzzies can lie to us infidels, what's the point of asking?

Doesn’t matter, there’s nothing an individual can do to compromise one.

As much as I respect your experience, if there are enough of them in the military, there can be more than one with 'hands on the trigger.' I somehow doubt that all nukes once armed can be remotely disarmed. Further, if the Jihadis can take over subsonic passenger planes and fly them into buildings hundreds of miles away before they are shot down, how could you be so confident we can rely to such degree upon procedure?

You make eroneous assumptions regarding “once armed”.
Getting to that point is well protected.

Simple. Use undercover CID.

I caught a bunch of drug dealers that way.

Islamonazis are a chatty bunch.

I had a boss once who was retired USAF SAC.

He figured out how to launch multiple missiles and bypass the safeties when he was in a MX unit.

After he alerted the USAF, they fixed the system.

Bet he couldn’t arm the warhead!

Not diminishing the risk associated w missile launch, but it is different than arming a nuke.
