Islamist 'Trojan horse' in Pentagon, says FBI and Steve Emerson
February 2, 2008 comment by Jerry Gordon
l'affaire Coughlin, as we keep saying gets 'curioser and curioser'. Yesterday it was the bafflegab explanation by minions at DoD about why they dropped Heshem Islam 'puff piece' and resume from a website. Islam, appropriate name, is the Muslim outreach aide to Deputy Defense Secretary England. Further, we found that Islam had peculiar views on Israel - Arab conflict. His security clearance should be yanked as a result of this patent embroidery of his 'c.v.'. He should be sacked, and not our friend Stephen Coughlin, the Islamic law and Jihad Military expert about to end his contract with the Joint intelligence staff next month.
Now, the FBI enters the picture with comments about Islam and a Navy Chaplain, Abuhena M. Saifulislam-the last name means 'sword of Islam' in Arabic. Both Islam and Saifuislam are steeped in Wahhabi doctrine and effectively are inflitrators in the Pentagon for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Witness these comments in this WorldNetDaily article from the FBI official and our ally Steve Emerson:
"He's a Muslim brother," an FBI official said of Islam. "He's a bad actor. He's well-positioned to be where he is, and that doesn't do us any good."However, the FBI official warned that the Muslim aides are part of a conspiracy by Muslim Brotherhood fronts to run "influence operations" against the U.S. government.
"Their M.O. is to make nice for the very purpose of penetrating us," he said, "and we just roll over for them, at least at the top levels."
He says England, who also recently dedicated an Islamic prayer center at Quantico on the advice of Saifulislam, is blind to the threat.
"England doesn't know it's an influence operation that's been laid at his door," he said. "His lack of awareness is irresponsible."
"The Islamic chaplains who serve were trained by a known terrorist," said terrorism expert Steve Emerson.
Emerson says Islam, like Alamoudi, has invited "subversive" elements into U.S. military headquarters.
"Hesham Islam is an Islamist with a pro-Muslim Brotherhood bent who has brought in groups to the Pentagon who have been unindicted co-conspirators," he said.
Emerson said a "Trojan horse" of subversives and potential spies have penetrated deep inside the Pentagon, and they are now bearing fruit with the ouster of Coughlin. Sources say Islam has high security clearance.
The witless Deputy Defense Secretary England should be taken out of his misery by SECDEF Bob Gates and 'honorably retired' from 'valued government service' for aiding and abetting Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the DoD. Islam should 'disappear' from his perch in the Pentagon, and all Wahhabi trained Muslim chaplains should be 'cashiered' from military service as disloyal. Does the Bush Administration have the guts to do that? In the face of their surrender to cultural jihad, we don't think it will happen. If certain valued Members of Congress, whom we understand met with Coughlin this week, have their way, investigative hearings would be launched and heads would roll in the E-ring inside the 'five sided squirrel cage' across the Potomac in Arlington, Virginia.

Federal authorities say a high-level Muslim Pentagon aide, who led a campaign to silence a Pentagon intelligence analyst for taking a hard line against Islam, is running an "influence operation" on behalf of U.S. Muslim groups fronting for the radical Muslim Brotherhood.

Hesham H. Islam, a special assistant to deputy Defense secretary Gordon England, recently criticized Maj. Stephen Coughlin, one of the military's leading authorities on Islamic war doctrine, for making the connection between the religion of Islam and terrorism.
After Islam lodged complaints, Coughlin's contract with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon was not renewed.
Islam also was upset with briefings Coughlin recently prepared for the U.S. military warning that major U.S. Muslim groups were fronting for the Muslim Brotherhood, a worldwide jihadist movement based in Egypt.
Islam, who was born and raised in Egypt, is heavily involved with one of the groups - the Islamic Society of North America, which U.S. prosecutors last year named as a member of the U.S. branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and an unindicted co-conspirator in a major terror-funding case.
Islam has persuaded his boss, England, to conduct various outreach with ISNA, including hosting the group's leaders in the Pentagon and speaking at its annual convention.
Speaking during ISNA's 2006 opening ceremonies, England proclaimed, "There is no contradiction between the peaceful religion of Islam and America's values and principles."
Coughlin reached the opposite conclusion in a 329-page report submitted to the National Defense Intelligence College, in which he warns that Islamic law sanctions violence. That finding, among others, has put him at odds with Islam, whom England describes as "my personal close confidante."
"I take his advice," England said, "and I listen to him all the time."
WND has learned that Islam is closely associated with a Muslim military chaplain trained at a radical Islamic school that federal agents raided after 9/11 in connection with terror-financing.
As WND reported, the chaplain, Abuhena M. Saifulislam, studied Islam at the Graduate School of Islamic and Social Sciences in Virginia.
Recently declassified FBI documents reveal its sister organization, an Islamist think tank known as the International Institute of Islamic Thought, or IIIT, is involved in a Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy to wage a cultural and political jihad to eventually take over America from within - most notably, through infiltration of government agencies.
Islam works closely with Saifulislam (Arabic for "sword of Islam") on Pentagon outreach projects involving Middle Eastern embassies and the so-called Wahhabi lobby in Washington.
"He's a Muslim brother," an FBI official said of Islam. "He's a bad actor. He's well-positioned to be where he is, and that doesn't do us any good." (Continue Reading
