The American Congress for Truth emailed a summary of Steven Emerson’s testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The email is dated April 14 the reposted article is dated April 10, 2008 from the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT).
Emerson writes that al-Qaeda has regained strength thanks to safe havens in Pakistan. He also touches on his astonishment (and mine and should be all Americans) of the government use of Mohammedan-American organizations that have links to terrorism abroad.
Also Emerson touches on the nefariousness of the behind the scenes support of Islamist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood.
As part of my goal to expose Islamism as a Fifth Column contingent within America and an anti-American force for violence from foreign terrorists, I encourage you to read Emerson’s testimony.

FrontPage Magazine is running a series of articles demonstrating a link the connects from the Muslim Brotherhood to violent Jihadists (like al-Qaeda and Hamas) and American-Mohammedan front organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

There is a Global War on Terror
America MUST Step Up to the Plate to Win
So the Lefties don’t think there is a Global War on Terror that is an illusion of G.W. Bush and Conservative War Hawks.
Let us examine some DOCUMENTED facts.
Now these facts are not all inclusive, there will probably be some that I have missed. Nonetheless the acts of Islamist Terrorism committed on Americans or American assets are well documented.
August 1982: Palestinian terrorist Mohammad Rashid is responsible for a bomb on a Pan Am flight from Honolulu, HI. One person died and several others are injured.
April 1983: Radical Shiite Muslim group takes credit for killing 63 on an attack on U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. The mode of death is a homicidal suicide car bomb.
October 1983: 241 United States Marines murdered in their barracks by Hezbollah (Lebanonese Party of God) in Beirut, Lebanon by a bomb.
December 1983: Pro-Iranian terrorists kill six and injure others with a homicidal suicide truck bomb attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait City, Kuwait.
September 1984: Islamic Jihad kills 16 at an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon.
June 1985: Hezbollah hijacks TWA Flight 847 and takes it to Beirut and kills one American.
October 1985: Cruise ship Achille Lauro is hijacked off of Egyptian coast by Palestine Liberation Front. One 69 year old American in a wheel chair is murdered and thrown overboard.
November 1985: Egypt Air Flight 648 is hijacked by Abu Nidal's Arab Revolutionary Command and 60 are murdered. Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Libya’s Moamar Qaddafi is named in an international Law Suit.
April 1986: A Rome to Athens TWA flight was bombed by Mohammed Rashid, Palestinian terrorist, members of Iraqi backed May 15 organization. Four are murdered.
February 1988: Hezbollah kidnaps and EXECUTES a U.S. Marine in Southern Lebanon.
December 1988: Lockerbie, Scotland, Pan Am flight 103 is bombed by Libyan Intelligence agents murdering 270. Of the deaths 189 were Americans.
Feb 26 1993: The first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center occurs. Osama bin Laden is thought to have ordered the attack and the master mind Ramzi Ahmed Yousef is convicted for the attack to 240 plus years in prison.
March 1995: Two diplomats from the Karachi, Pakistan U.S. Embassy are murdered in retaliation of the convictions surrounding the 1983 attack on the World Trade Center.
August 1998: Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, U.S. embassies are bombed simultaneously murdering 263 and injuring 5,000. Osama bin Laden is thought to be behind the attacks on American Embassies.
October 2000: The Destroyer USS Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden is attacked by Islamic terrorists killing 17. Guess who the evidence points to as behind the attack: One does not have to be a genius to connect the dots to al Qaeda’s Osama bin Laden.
September 11, 2001: This is the Islamic terrorist attack that changed the lives of Americans. Al Qaeda’s Osama bin Laden ordered terror cells to hijack planes of which the two confirmed targets were the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The last target was suspected to be the White House but we will never know for the heroes of United Airlines Flight 93 rebelled enough that the jet crashed in Pennsylvania. Over 6,000 Americans were murdered and thousands more were injured. (Time Line Culled from simplytaty.com)
This Time Line roughly measures 19 years of attacks by murdering Islamist transnational terrorist organizations on America culminating with 9/11 when a President finally got fed up and decided to take the fight to the terrorists.
The problem being though is that President Bush could not get enough support to attack all the transnational terrorists in the Middle East because of Leftists in Europe and at home as well as big oil trading with China and Russia.
Dear God in Heaven the Leftists in this country are saying there is no Global War on Terrorism connection with Iraq.
Geez wake up! In the time line there is direct evidence of Saddam’s complicity with funding terrorist acts against American Assets. Let’s look at some more Hussein/Iraqi intent on America.
Notice the Mainstream Media has nearly written off the huge amount of secret documents form Saddam Hussein’s government. Why do you think that is?
Hello! It is because the documents demonstrate Hussein’s continued plans to support terrorism against America.
Now how was Bush able to finance an Armed invasion of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq?
Hello! Democrats of power in Congress viewed the very same Intelligence information that President Bush did concurring Saddam Hussein must be removed from a position that definitely harmed American National Interests.
Evidence shows that Bush did not deceive Congress as the Leftists are saying (for election purposes by the way) for the viewed the same Intelligence evidence. The only valid criticism of President Bush is that he wanted a pre-emptive strike on Iraq before psycho Saddam stockpiled enough chemical or nuclear WMD based on the projection of the Intelligence reports. It turns out the Intelligence Reports were way off on the Iraqi capability of serious WMD, especially the Nukes.
Although the Chemical WMD was not near as big as the Intelligence community projected, it was there. It can be shown that what was left of Saddam’s Chemical WMD was smuggled to Syria or Russia.
Some Lefties might say: Saddam is deposed, why waste American lives on Iraqis that are killing themselves?
One reason is of the little reported Iraqi Awakening. This is a movement in which Iraqis are growing weary of al Qaeda terrorism. Local Iraqi Sunnis that were with al Qaeda are leaving the transnational terrorist organization in droves forming local militias that aid the Iraq Military and the American Military hunt down al Qaeda. Places in Baghdad and Anbar Province (once havens for Terror cells) are informing on al Qaeda and have become places that people can walk down the streets in substantial relative peace. The Iraqi Awakening is even leading these militia members to join the Iraqi Military as recruits under American Military training.
Even the Shi’ites has joined the Iraqi Awakening. Many Shi’ites are leaving the pro-Iranian Mahdi Army operated by cleric Muqtada al-Sadr to also find some local peace. And of course the Kurds of the Northern Iraq have always been pro-American. The so-called insidious Iraqi civil war appears to be evaporating at a steady pace due to the American Military Surge.
Does anyone see how absurd it would be to pull out of Iraq now? Now that tribal coalitions are forming against foreign terrorist insurgents it would be the height of stupidity to leave Iraq now.
Let’s look at an analogy. World War II ended in 1945, in case Left Wing school teachers failed to teach you that fact. My point: There has been a significant American Military presence still in Germany and Japan for a war that ended 63 years ago. The Communist Chinese came to the aid of a collapsing North Korea during the Korean War and battled America to a stalemate dividing Korea into North and South Korea. In 1953 hostilities ended between North and South Korea. There is still an American Military presence in South Korea. That is 55 years after hostilities ended between North and South Korea.
As a significant victory is in America’s and the new Iraqi government’s grasp, the Dems want to pull and say defeat when the American Military is nearing the edge of victory in Iraq.
Wake up cut-n-run Americans!
Well have you heard the latest Islamofascist tiff? Usama bin Laden is calling President Musharraf of Pakistan an infidel thereby reasoning that Pakistan should rise up and revolt against him.
Now here is the thing. I can just imagine all the pro-Arab experts saying I told so, Musharraf’s regime as an ally to America is hanging by a thread and it may collapse placing nuclear arms into Islamofascist hands.
Maybe; however that is a worse case scenario. There is another extreme possibility. The other Arab Kingdoms and Dictatorships fearing a UBL led nuclear armed Wahhabi Pakistan and a nuclear arming radical Twelver Shia Iran might be the card played that may topple their autocratic gigs.
I can see the Saudi’s, Jordanians, the more capitalistic oil Saudi Peninsula Sheikdoms and Egypt (O yes Egypt) taking a cooperative stand against internal Wahhabis and Muslim Brotherhood factions and weighing in with support for Musharraf.
Again Iraq becomes the wild card. Why? The reason is because of its divided nature of Sunni, Kurd and Shia not piecing together as a hoped for uniform puzzle.
A not much talked about is a still powerful Turkey, the remnant of the last Muslim Empire to terrorize the globe with Mohammedanism.
Turkey figures in because Ataturk’s secular revolution that booted out its last Emperor and terminated the Caliphate will have to choose sides. You would think it would be a no-brainer that Turkey would line up with an American led Arab coalition against Islamofascists; however Turkey has two considerations:
1. The hated Kurds trying to establish an independent nation of the current Northern Iraq.
2. The modern electoral process has placed an Islamist head of government in secular Turkey. If he calls the shots on foreign relations, at best Turkey would stay out the conflict at worst Turkey would help the coalescing Sunni/Shia (i.e. a Wahhabi-Taliban ruled Pakistan if Musharraf cannot hold on and the Twelver Shias of Iran).
To complicate the reading of Turkey’s direction further, the Turkish generals have not hesitated in the past to boot out an elected leader if he did not comply to the beloved Ataturk secular revolution.
You might say a Wahhabi-Taliban terrorist will not get along with an Iranian radical Shia nation because the hatred between the two sects has existed since the assassination of Mohammed’s nephew (and I think son-in-law by marriage). The irony is Iran has been playing the enemy of my enemy is my friend game.
Iran has openly aided al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan (even protecting some al Qaeda elites and UBL’s family). Plus Iran has been training Sunni Hamas the official offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt.
Here is another chaotic scenario to add: Certainly the Saudi royals will line up with America because the West pays them the money for their oil to make the royals ridiculously wealthy. However a significant amount of the royals and wealthy Saudi elites only give lip service to the Wahhabi dominating school of the Saudi Peninsula by providing money for the Wahhabi leadership. BUT the Saudi government leadership is socially Western outside the borders of Saudi Arabia.
A prince of a Saudi bloodline that has totally conformed to the Wahhabi way may be developed as a usurper of the throne by the typical Mohammedan way of securing power: killing all the rivals to power.
If that scenario was permitted to occur then a huge mess could begin that might last years or seconds depending if a button pushing Islamist finds a nuclear arsenal.
And that is just the intra-regional conflict.
Due to the entire world running on oil; I guarantee China and Russia will decide what benefits their respective national interests and may line up with the Islamists for a trade guarantee of oil for weaponry.
O did I mention that Hindu dominated India is a nuclear power as well. India has been cozy with Russia and contemptuous of China; however I strongly suspect Hindu India will align with the faction (i.e. Western coalition led Arabs) that prevents the hated Muslims from gaining a toe hold on India’s land. There is much bad blood between Hindus and Muslims that actually may make the Jewish/Muslim conflict look like a picnic.
Conquering Mohammedans would slaughter and torture Hindus until they realized it was more profitable to enslave them with humiliation (contrary to their Quran). Thus the Muslim Mughal Empire of Northern India humiliated Hindus until the British came along. That was a long time!
Jews and Christians humiliated for their faith under conquering Muslims; however in the Quran they were named as people of the book. That meant according to the Muslim Scriptures Jews and Christians had three choices of lifestyle after conquest: Conversion to Islam, substandard humiliating no rights as dhimmi paying a jizya tax, or death.
The Hindus are considered polytheists; therefore their only (initial) choices were conversion or death.
Now this has been a very simplistic run down of what the fuse lit by UBL could do calling for a revolution in Pakistan and naming U.S. ally Musharraf an apostate. I am certain someone with more expertise could add to the complexity of developing scenarios in the Middle East and the interconnectedness of a globalized economy; nonetheless I am also certain you get the picture of what is impending. And take note: As the Middle East conflagrates in conflict, who lines up with whom is far from etched in stone. The National Interests of the moment will form the puzzle of who sides with whom in the greater scheme of the clear mutual enemies.
Shi’ite Iran and Wahhabi Sunni Taliban have been fierce enemies in the past, so much so that Iran did not complain when America invaded Afghanistan to topple the Taliban regime and it Stateless ally al-Qaeda.
Apparently the deep hatred Sunni and Shi’ites have had for centuries has transformed by mutual hatred of the United States. There have been major indicators that Iran has been supplying weapons and supplies to the Taliban hiding in the Afghan mountains enabling them to be a continuous threat to the anti-Taliban government and American/coalition forces trying to secure Afghanistan.
So here is the picture: Iran says that Israel will soon be wiped off the map; Iran trains and supplies terrorists Hamas (Sunnis in the Gaza), Islamic Jihad (Shi’ites in Gaza) and Hezbollah (Shi’ites in Lebanon); Iran has made mutual defense pacts with Syria and Sudan; Iran has trained and anti-American militant Shi’ites in Iraq; Iran as stated above is aiding the Taliban AND I would say it is a pretty good guess that NOW Iran is aiding al-Qaeda in some form or fashion. This is a bleak picture for Middle Eastern peace particularly as it affects the National Interests of America and Israel.
I must note that these Sunni/Shi’ite alliances are tenable. There mutual hatred could blow up into a division followed by unification due to a perceived American threat. It is quite complicated on who are enemies and friends at any given moment. The only thing that seems to be linear is both Wahhabi and Shi’ite schools of thought desiring a return to medieval harsh Sharia Law, it is only the interpretation that separates the sects and an American ideology of democratic Liberty and an American military presence that unites them.
Obviously al Qaeda and the Taliban are dominating the Waziristan region of Pakistan. To the credit of the Democratic Party dominated Senate, there is a suggestion that America should attack known terrorist and terrorist training camps within Pakistan.
A Pakistani envoy has warned that such action might topple the Musharraf dictatorship that has been playing Islamists and America so far to America’s benefit. The implication being an American attack on Terrorist stronghold’s within might topple Musharraf. Such demise would portend an Islamist take over of already nuclear Pakistan.
So the question becomes do we attack monsters directly responsible for 9/11 or protect a Mohammedan asset in Musharraf?
