Rep Sue Myreick R-NC

I have been following the case (if you will) of Maj. Stephen Coughlin’s contract not being renewed by the Department of Defense (DOD). Most posts I have read in the blogosphere have laid the case that Hesham H. Islam and Coughlin were knocking heads over Coughlin’s tough portrayal of Islamists and Islamist infiltration into American government entities of which the DOD was one. Islam is a friend and advisor to Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon English and is accused of using that influential position to not renew Coughlin’s contract as an expert on Islam for the DOD.

You can follow my posts backward from this post: Islamist Infiltration in America and the West.

I have recently come to understand that Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC) decided to personally investigate the Coughlin case. Her efforts have earned Coughlin a renewed contract at the DOD in another department other than the one associated with English and Islam.

Sounds good, right?

Rep. Myrick issued a statement (which I picked up at Andrew Bostom’s blog) laying heaps of praise on Coughlin’s thesis of Islamist infiltration in America; however there is a big BUT. The BUT is that Rep Myrick in her investigation of the circumstances of Coughlin’s dismissal, found NO evidence of a conspiracy by Islam to have Coughlin removed. Rep. Myrick in her statement even says she interviewed Coughlin and Coughlin told her he did not feel there was a conspiracy to shut him up.

I was gratified to read about Coughlin’s renewed contract and the admonishment that America should step up to the plate to examine Islamist infiltration just as much as America did with Communism during the Cold War.

I was confused about exonerating Hesham H. Islam and Gordon English of trying to shut Coughlin up. The first thing that comes to my mind is that Rep. Myrick pulled the hat trick to not embarrass the DOD while twisting the DOD arm to put Coughlin back to work. Rep. Myrick simultaneously got Coughlin to go along with inter-departmental diplomatic negotiation to allow Coughlin’s influence to continue to be heard in official channels.

I am (hopefully) speculating this is not the complete happy ending and that Islam (and perhaps English) is to be watched to see if there is any Islamist infiltration or influence. Time will tell.

Islam Conversion by Persuasion

There is a fringe Mohammedan group known as Hizb Ut-Tahrir Al-Islami. The English translation is roughly the Islamic Liberation Party. I say fringe because the group is outlawed even in some European nations and many Mohammedan nations (of which some of those have had a radical Islamist history). And yet Hizb Ut-Tahrir Al-Islami had a convention of sorts in Ramallah, the heart of the Palestine Authority (PA). Indeed the Islamic Liberation Party is a formal member of the PA. That is something to think about: a group that has an ideology that it is outlawed even in some Mohammedan nations is a member of the autonomous ruling organization of Palestine-Arabs seeking an establishment of a sovereign nation (recently Hamas usurped PA governance in the Gaza Strip, hence sarcastically known as Hamastan).

What is so notable notorious about the Islamic Liberation Party that makes it newsworthy?

The Islamic Liberation Party vigorously is advocating a Caliphate in which all Mohammedans can rally behind not only for unity but also to spread Mohammedanism globally by “persuasion.” Persuasion means by force, like in the bad ol’ medieval days when Mohammedanism was spread by violent conquest often torturing the conquered to submit to the will of Allah or die. It is the same ideal of Islamofascist terrorists such as Usama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. The first is an active terrorist organization the latter is a clandestine terrorist organization that supports other active terrorists such as Hamas.

The ideological tenets explain why many Mohammedan nations have outlawed the Islamic Liberation Party: Mohammedan despots want nothing to do with anything that threatens their personal control. Twenty-first century Arab/Mohammedan nationalism is less about the spread of Mohammedanism and more about keeping former European powers (i.e. former Colonial Powers) outside of the control of Mohammedan lands. Many of the Arab nations in existence today are because they had their borders arbitrarily carved out by departing Europeans. This was an effort for Europeans to control the economics more than rule the Mohammedan peoples. Arab nationalism eventually shook off the chains of European economic control. Thus Europeans (and now America and China) used arms peddling as a carrot to find good grace with the despots. The despots have kept their people impoverished utilizing the Mohammedan faith to invoke harsh obedience; therefore a kind of grass roots religious look to the past has gained more and more favor of the glories of Mohammedan superiority complex of the past.

Clearly Mohammedanism is slowly but surely being overtaken by this kind Islamofascist thinking that the Islamic Liberation Party espouses.
