Islamic Immigration threat among us

The Threat Among Us

By Cal Thomas

http://www.jewishworldreview.com | Reader submitted image

Government officials warn that America remains in danger from Al Qaeda and other terrorist operatives who wish to destroy us. This is not a one-front war, because we also face dangers from within our democratic institutions.

Suppose our enemies have invaded the United States through immigration for the express purpose of organizing themselves politically? Suppose they present themselves as benign and seek to register voters, becoming politically active in order to elect their people to office and change U.S. policy in the Middle East? What if their intentions are the eventual destruction of this nation through its democratic processes and the imposition of a theocratic state? Would that be enough to get our attention?

In at least 16 states, Muslim groups, by their own admission, are organizing voter-registration drives and political consciousness-raising events for this express purpose. One of the advantages the United States has had over its enemies is that that they openly state their goals. One of the advantages our enemies have over the United States is that too many Americans don't take them seriously. We prefer the short-term comfort that denial brings. We fear being labeled "bigots" more than we fear the intentions of those who hate us, and so we are reluctant to speak ill of another person's faith, unless it is the majority faith.

Last Saturday (May 17), the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) opened its newest office in Columbia, S.C., a Southern city with strong Christian roots. The stated purpose of organizers was to discuss "the obligation of Muslims to participate in public affairs, CAIR's achievements and future goals of the organization."

Among those "future goals," according to a CAIR press release, is the elimination of references to "Judeo-Christian" when describing the heritage of the United States. Instead, CAIR and other Muslim groups prefer "Judeo-Christian-Islamic" or "Abrahamic." CAIR wants this new phrase used "in all venues where we normally talk about Judeo-Christian values, starting with the media, academia, statements by politicians and comments made in churches, synagogues and other places." Notice the absence of the word "mosques "in this statement. Muslim groups want Jews and Christians to tolerate them, but there is not a similar call for mosques to include Jewish and Christian beliefs.

You do not have to believe in conspiracies or be a bigot to realize something important is happening with this statement and in these political meetings. As Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum, wrote last month in JWR: "(CAIR is) on the wrong side in the war on terrorism," consistently defending militant Islamic groups and dictators, while "denouncing" terrorist acts. Pipes refers to a story reported in the San Ramon Valley (Calif.) Herald about CAIR Chairman Omar M. Ahmad, who told a crowd of California Muslims in July, 1998, "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."

In Canada, census figures released last week show that for the first time Muslims now outnumber Jews. The Canadian Muslim population increased 128.9 percent in the decade beginning in 1991, making Islam the fastest-growing faith in Canada. Muslims now make up 2 percent of the Canadian population, while Jews have declined from 1.2 to 1.1 percent, according to census data.

You don't have to be paranoid to fear where this can lead in Canada and in the United States -where immigration and births are dramatically increasing the Muslim population. Vote-hungry politicians might easily bow to the political objectives of Muslim voters, many of whom have agendas outside this country and, in fact, outside this world. When Muslims gain political power, the historical and contemporary record is not encouraging for people who hold democratic values and are of the "Judeo-Christian" persuasion. If politicians succumb to pressure from Muslim activist groups and equate Islam with the religious and political heritage of this country, we will know that an important beachhead has been attained by our enemies.

From their behavior in other parts of the world, one can safely predict they will use this beachhead to advance their cause.

"You can, of course, cite the relevant ruling (and explain how it does not violate the "Congress shall not ... prohibt the free excercise thereof" bit of the First Amendment, right?"

I can indeed as soon as I can locate it in my 30 year-old stack of stuff. New York State Supreme Court ruled in an immigration case that "...followers of impostors such as Mahommet.." were NOT to be afforded the protection of the First Ammendment, but were rather "....to be harassed."

The thrust of the ruling was to define just what was meant by "religion" in the First Ammendment.

The ruling has never been rescinded, vacated not overturned.

What can we do? Deny Muslims the right to immigrate to the USA?

That's definitely better than the alternatives. Had we done this from the beginning the WTC would still be standing, 3,000 Americans would still be alive, and half my family wouldn't be in Iraq right now.

This asymmetrical war by our enemies: Mexico, China and nearly ALL Muslim countries has been raging for years. They have learned that the way to beat the U.S. is not to challenge America with a frontal attack but to destroy us from the inside. Our politicians, lobbyists, fringe leftist groups and vested business interests seem more than willing to help out our enemies in this regard. The plan appears to be working.

God bless your family members and I wish them well. Your fortitiude in these times is commendable!

It disappoints me greatly however I feel that it's going to take another strike on the "Homeland" to wake some people up. When that happens I think we are going to see a resolve AND actions from citizens of our country that will make post Pearl Harbour attitudes look trivial!

IMHO, these fanatics may think they are winning, but shortly they will find out what it really means to rub us Americans the wrong way.

I think the word immigration is a poor choice, immigration is when someone comes to a country to start a new life and integrate into that society. A more correct term would be infiltration, that is when someone comes into a country to subvert it to their purposes.

I have a sense that that has already happened. I sure didn't see ANY USofA promotion from some politicians(I won't mention any names BUT they were ALL Democratic Party affiliated)) going to Iraq and virtually denouncing the U.S. policies on the eave of war from that country's soil.

As long as we are -- by any other name -- in a State of War with the Manifestation of Evil that produces the hesperophobic islamofascistic terrorists presently intent on the death and destruction of all Jews and of all Christians and of every trace and sign of Judeo-Christian ["Human," that is] Civilization -- your suggestion should provide US an excellent starting place!

In the context of 2003 America, I best-of-all like the impeccably-honest sound of the words "invasion" and "colonization."

It is plain the South and Central-American-Indian Criminal Alien Invasion, aided and abetted by career gangsters-posing-as-politicians, continues apace and has seen America's ["DemocRATic"-party voting-block] Criminal Alien "Community" explode to somewhere between 15 and 35 million, much of it unassimilable and gathered in ever-more-hostile "no-go" colonies. Lately, most of the three thousand net per day criminal-alien invaders see their invasion as merely their excercising of their "Right of Return."

The United Nations and United States Department of State's self-perpetuating Brahmanas' assisted islamofascist invasion, however, although patterned on the successful "latino" one, has no Judeo-Christian "upside" [Most of our Christian invaders successfully assimilate!] and is overwhelmingly comprised
of hesperophobics of a terrorist bent or of those who already live in terror of hesperophobic islamofascistic terrorists -- who are thus effectively indistinguishable from one another.

Yair.

Let's continue to adhere to the knowledge the Truth will set US FRee.

And USe the word, "Invasion," to describe what's happening here.

And in Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, Oceana and South America.

[Perhaps, while, coincidentally, there are, in the White House, American Men of Faith, attuned to such indicators, G-d allowed Usama to tip US off to something we all, before it is too late, need to know? -- jUSt perhaps.]

Shalom -- Brian

"Please ping me when you find the documentation. Thanks"

I have a lot of people who want that. I should think it would be readily available if you were to look into the New York State Supreme Court procedings along about 1892-1893.

An old lawyer showed it to me some 30 years ago. I wish he was still alive to give me the case number again. He couldn't get any judge to disagree with the validity of the ruling.

Time to stop the imposition of sharia (Islamic Law)!

Time for a HUAC (House UnAmerican Activities Committee) on the Islamic invasion.

These invaders are smarter than the Communist infiltrators.
They've disguised their "-ism" as a religion and gained all sorts of
civil rights protections...in order to subvert our system...

People may have been afraid that America would be run by remote control from
Vatican City with the influx of Irish and Italians...
today we should REALLY shudder about being run by orders from the Wahhabists in Saudi Arabia
and other retrograde countries.
