Ten years after 9/11, it could be said there is far less clarity of understanding about Islamism and Islamist terrorism than there was in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on America.
Indeed, it is ironical — though the man responsible for 9/11 has been disposed of deservingly, the U.S. and rest of the West readily continue their downward slide of appeasing Islamists and their political agenda.
In New York, the biggest cheerleader of the Ground Zero mosque project is none other than its mayor, Michael Bloomberg. We have seen President Obama bowing in the direction of the Saudi king and former president George W. Bush take the same king gently by the hand as an honoured guest.
This is the Saudi leader, King Abdullah, whose citizens engaged in the mass casualty attack on America’s most famous city.
Arab petrodollars have thoroughly perverted Islam, or more appropriately the “official” Islam of the Arab-Muslim world, into a homicidal jihadi cult.
But it has also infected the West, and severely warped its capacity to think critically when it comes to dealing with the Arab-Muslim world.
The insidious effects of petrodollar corruption are all around us. The mainstream media and universities seeking their share of Arab petrodollars have greatly abandoned their roles of maintaining objective and critical views of the world, and inculcating the same in their audience and students.
The infection has spread to the churches. My friend Marc Lebuis — I have once before written about his work — runs a small organization named Point de Bascule in Montreal devoted to exposing Islamism and Islamists in our midst.
Lebuis’ efforts are of an engaged citizen concerned about the appeasement mentality widespread in his country. In recent postings on his web magazine (www.pointdebasculecanada.ca), Lebuis draws attention to the Second Global Conference on World’s Religions after 9/11 being hosted by McGill University in Montreal on Sept. 7.
The astonishing thing — perhaps not astonishing anymore when such things occur, likely greased by Arab petrodollars — is the extent to which non-Muslim religious leaders, such as the Dalai Lama, and clerics and scholars of religious studies, engage in soft-peddling Islamism to western audiences.
Lebuis has it right when he notes such interfaith engagements are all about “getting non-Muslim religious leaders to repeat Muslim Brotherhood’s mantras.”
The star of the event will be Tariq Ramadan, controversial Islamist ideologue par excellence and grandson of Hasan al-Banna, the Egyptian founder of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood presently rides high with the agenda of imposing Shariah rule in Egypt.
Instead of universities, churches and mainstream media educating people in the West about Muslim Brotherhood’s fascist nature and the double-speak of its propagandists, such as the Swiss-born Ramadan, who has denied any contacts with terrorists or Islamic fundamentalists, they have assumed the role of spinmeisters for Islamists and Islamism that are at the roots of why the Arab-Muslim world is retarded and its civilization a toxic wreck.
Ten years after 9/11, fishes might feast on the remains of Osama bin Laden, but his ideas now receive a ready pass, even find accommodation, in the West.

“Arab petrodollars have thoroughly perverted Islam, or more appropriately the “official” Islam of the Arab-Muslim world, into a homicidal jihadi cult.”
No. Islam is islam. The only change has been the way it is portrayed. All in all, it is essentially as it was in the seventh century. It was a homicidal jihadist death-oriented cult, and is one.
Those same “petrodollars” have been given to those whose influence can be bought at universities and businesses, and in government, especially where influence could not be obtained with political correctness and fear of perceived discrimination. Individual people may be fine, as they may not hold islam so dearly, aside from culturally, but there can be little doubt that there are many who potentially could follow their chosen religion’s most commonly known trait: jihad.
I realize that this is but one article, and that my relative sleepiness will make my words seem overly harsh. To me, this is East against West. The East is again amassing, in a manner that has been used before historically. What has changed is a combination of their being in a position where others depend on them in a relationship known as Hydraulic Despotism, the subsequent cash they have had on hand to buy/peddle influence, and the weakness in self-loathing they have exploited in others. Some of the latter was doubtless used in the past, as far as the Ottomans were concerned (Armenian genocide, anyone?).
Sooner or later, and likely, sooner, we’ll find ourselves in an uncomfortable situation. The islamists will have maneuvered the West into a corner, with the West having to fight it’s way out, given the classic three choices: convert, submit while paying the jizya(forever the second class citizens in humiliation), or die in battle.
Here’s Taraq Ramadan in Dallas calling for the colonization of the US.
Point de Bascule presents the transcript of the most important excerpts:

We should all be careful not to be colonized by something which is coming from this consumerist society…
03:37
It should be us, with our understanding of Islam, our principles, colonizing positively the United States of America.
04:37
But let me tell you something. On the long run, I’m quite optimistic. I think that Inshallah (inaudible word) our future in the West is going to be a bright future, to be positive.
04:52
By the way, we are not here by accident. We are not here by accident.
05:54
We are learning how to be a Muslim. It’s difficult, it’s a challenge, it’s a jihad...
06:18
On the long run, we also have to think about our contribution. We should be a gift to the United States of America. We should be a gift to the West.
Watch that koranimal closely.
He’s a HVT when the time comes.
I thought at first that this was a story about Allan West and his view. Here is his view, The correct view.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkGQmCZjJ0k
Who will be the new Jan Sobieski? Or, will Vienna fall this time?
Why our leaders don’t understand or acknowledge this, I don’t know. “Petrodollars”? We need our own “petrodollars” and we need to tell the muzzies to go....
That’s what I, too, have been wondering. I hope and pray that Vienna doesn’t fall.
“appeasement mentality”
is the straight consequence of the spreading of the western civilisation’s self-hatred and the hate of the christian civilization spread by all kind of leftists, liberals, third-worldists ...who grabed the intellectual power in Europe and in USA.
Multiculturalism is their tool and “appeasement” is a condition for the promotion and increase of that multiculturalism in order to cancel any clear sign of the so-called western civilization and of its roots
Allan West seems to be a smart straight talking man...
He should enter in the presidential race and would be a huge challenger and not another politician as usual
AMERICANS FOR A MUSLIM FREE AMERICA.
WE LEARNED ALL WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ISLAM ON 9/11
>>Arab petrodollars have thoroughly perverted Islam, or more appropriately the “official” Islam of the Arab-Muslim world, into a homicidal jihadi cult.
It was already a totalitarian political system using a religion as a beard, and had been virtually since inception. It had just been adequately suppressed for a couple hundred years because of the West’s military superiority. We have forgotten why we suppressed it to begin with, and idiots like George Bush (”Peaceful Friendly Islam”) didn’t help this problem.
Hadn’t seen your post before making mine just above. We both jumped on that line, so it isn’t just you.
And see my tagline.
Islam isn’t peace unless everyone is Muslim.

While Muslim Brotherhood mantras are repeated throughout the network of useful idiots Janet and "homeland security' redirect terrorism concerns for political gain.
Islam is islam. The only change has been the way it is portrayed. All in all, it is essentially as it was in the seventh century. It was a homicidal jihadist death-oriented cult, and is one.
W was no idiot. He knew perfectly well what he was doing. The ruse of islam being "religion of peace" comes from deliberate deception that Arabic term "islam" translates to "peace" in English. Proper English term is SUBMISSION. Arabic term for peace as absence of hostility is salaam.
Islam is religion of submission. Submit or die. W was merely a mouthpiece for his Saudi friends.
