The Professor John Esposito School of Islamic apologetics is one of the greatest deceptions in existence. I am certain the Barack Hussein Obama Administration utilizes Esposito to validate his Islam is peace mantra to Americans and the West.
Okay so there is really no such school. Nonetheless, Esposito is the premier apologist of Islam in America. The Georgetown Prof hugs the likes of the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, Hezbollah and Hamas as angelic representatives of global Islam. The reality is those organizations either side or perpetuates some of the most violent intolerant atrocities against humanity in the name of Islam.
When Esposito is quoted as a leading Western scholar of Islam, take a second look at the people quoting Esposito. Those people are using Esposito to put a positive spin on Islamic perpetuated atrocities or are demonstrating their utter gullibility in the hope of feeling good about the Islamic global agenda.
Check out Steve Emerson’s exposé of John Esposito.

I found a Steve Emerson post at Faith Freedom International detailing the stupidity of the State Department pandering to Radical Islamic (aka Islamist) elements and organizations in America. I mean we are talking organizations with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood which advocates a global Caliphate to rule the world and impose Sharia Law. Many of these organizations and elements also have direct ties to murdering Islamic terrorists like Hamas.
I would normally cross post an awesome exposé such as Emerson’s; however my main website at SlantRight.com does not tolerate the many source links the Emerson article utilizes to back up his statements. So I am cross posting at the Blogger SlantRight which is also easier because I do not have to type in the html myself.
I operate SlantRight.com and Blogger SlantRight together for this very reason. As you may know Blogger may at anytime pull my plug because of the controversial content of much of the anti-Islamist/anti-Jihadist posts. Hence the ownership of the SlantRight.com domain hosted via the servers StevenCopley.com enables an ultimate freedom that Blogger cannot touch.
I highly encourage the reading of the Emerson post exposing the complicity of the Obama Administration sucking up to American-Islamist organizations to the harm of the American Way in the name of Politically Correct multicultural/diverse tolerance.
In case you do not get it, that tolerance is heaped on the Muslims that would see America destroyed and replaced by intolerant and anti-Liberty Sharia Law.

Here is an interesting discussion about Islam that takes place between Gary H. Johnson, Jr. and Chris Carter. As you read these musings you will view Johnson’s understanding of phrases used by anti-jihad bloggers. Whether you agree or not with the definitions are not as important as it is to begin engaging your mind to ponder them.
The Obama Administration may not be at war with Islam or at least aspects of the theo-political cult, but Islam is definitely at war with the West (again) or at least aspects of Islam.
The pondering is posted at United Against Islamic Supremacism and it appears it may be an ongoing discussion.

In the USA there are Muslim organizations which if you believe their own hype are of the so-called moderate Islamic bent; however these Muslim-American organizations nearly all have a connection overtly or covertly to an Islamic terrorist organization. In most cases the Muslim terrorists represent the various Arabs that call themselves Palestinians. Also there is a connection to Ikhwan better known as the Muslim Brotherhood in the English speaking world.
Let’s see if I can think of some these Muslim-American organizations that claim to represent mainstream (moderate) Islam in America.
The top dog (or so self-proclaimed) of these organization is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR has been directly tied to the evil Arab-Palestinian organization known as Hamas. Hamas is on the State Department Terror Watch List. CAIR was implicated with an association with Hamas as an unindicted co-conspirator in successful prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF).
The Muslim American Society (MAS [Large PDF file]) is vitally connected to the international Salafist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). The MB has a Wahhabi outlook about Islam which is strongly advocated by Terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda and Hamas.
The Muslim Student Association (MSA) is also part of the MB agenda to Islamize the globe by infiltration or by jihad. The MSA is the largest student Muslim organization in the North American continent.
The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) initially was founded as an organization to be a bridge between Christians and Jews in America attempting to emphasize that Islam’s core values are compatible with American values. Once Israel became embroiled with Arab-Palestinian terrorism of the Second Intifada MPAC became very recalcitrant toward Jews and Israel in particular. MPAC’s position is that Israel is a terrorist State and terrorist groups such as Hezbollah are freedom fighters. Hence MPAC’s is officially moderate Islam yet the organization supports and celebrates the terrorist activities of Arabs that call themselves Palestinians. (Interesting tidbit on MPAC)
The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is a huge ideological supporter to Islamist speakers with ties to Muslim terrorists like the Pakistan’s Jamaat e-Islami (Interesting tidbit on Jamaat e-Islami).
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is largely funded by Saudi Wahhabi interests and has close ties to Arab-Palestinian terrorists (e.g. Palestinian Islamic Jihad). ISNA is an offshoot from the MSA. ISNA is thought to hold up to 80% or more of the mortgages of American Mosques; ergo those Mosques are required to teach and preach (or whatever Muslims call exhortation of their faith) the radical Saudi Wahhabi message of puritanical Islam practiced by Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. Also ISNA is heavily influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood. ISNA is noted for bringing in pro-Jihad (i.e. the violent “lesser” Jihad), anti-Western, Anti-Israel (and anti-Jewish), and anti-American speakers to well funded speaking engagements in America.
In an e-newsletter received on July 6 from ACT! For America there is a report that anti-Islamist Dave Gaubatz was ejected from one of ISNA’s large meetings recently. According to ACT! For America Gaubatz was in no way being disruptive. Gaubatz was collecting information that ISNA officials obviously did not want non-Muslim America (i.e. we kafir) to be aware of. Then ACT! For America proceeded to include in the e-newsletter some information on the ISNA 46th annual convention in which evangelical Pastor Rick Warren is to participate as a symbol of interfaith dialogue.
Warren must not have read up on the fact that the puritanical form of Wahhabi Islam promoted by ISNA would relegate him to a dhimmi in a Muslim dominated society. Warren’s symbolism then is an example of interfaith stupidity rather than interfaith toleration.
Here is the ACT! For America e-newsletter:

ISNA's annual convention 'illuminating'
ACT! For America
Sent: 7/6/09
ISNA, the Islamic Society of North America, has been in the news a lot the past few days, hosting its annual convention in Washington, D.C.
As the Investigative Project on Terrorism report below notes:
“The Investigative Project on Terrorism reviewed recent ISNA conference activity and found a host of examples of radical ideology that belies its moderate image.”
What’s more, according to a report in WorldNetDaily, during the July 3rd ISNA convention in D.C., ISNA “chose to eject by force an American investigating Islamist radicalism in the U.S.”
There is no evidence from the report that ISNA’s motivation for ejecting Gaubatz was due to him causing a disruption. Gaubatz was there to gather information, just as he has done for projects such as the “Mapping Sharia” project, in which Gaubatz has entered numerous mosques around the country to examine and analyze the materials the mosques distribute.
If ISNA is truly a voice for moderation, why would it fear someone like Gaubatz? Indeed, wouldn’t ISNA want to showcase its moderation for someone like Gaubatz?

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) hooked a big fish for its 46th convention starting Friday in Washington, D.C. when evangelical Pastor Rick Warren agreed to appear.
But ISNA wanted a bigger star – President Barack Obama. There's been no public response from the White House to ISNA's invitation. But the conference is expected to feature a significant government presence, in the form of sponsored-informational booths and speakers from the Departments of ...

David Bukay has an article in the Summer 2009 edition of the Middle East Quarterly.
Bukay takes an intellectual stroll with the end game being Islam is totally incompatible with Western Society. Then Bukay turns up the burner by demonstrating that Islam is in no way compatible with the Western concept of Democracy.
Bukay even pits the differences between Islam (so-called moderate) and Islamism. Bukay points out that Islam is becoming the uniting force at least among Middle Eastern Muslims to the extent that the very old concept of Pan-Arabism is nearly a dead ideology.
Muslims are finding there heroes among the Islamists that promote an international Caliphate for Islam. The Caliphate ideal is a concept that stretches beyond the Arab Middle East. Thus Islamism is gaining footholds in place like Turkey founded after the ashes of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of WWI. Ataturk purposely founded a Turkish secular government abolish the vestiges of the Caliphate that existed in the defunct Ottoman Empire.
The largest Muslim nation in the world is Indonesia. The pan-Islam ideology is awakening Indonesians who Asian rather than Arab to bump against the secular regime in Indonesia.
Bukay further notes that nations where old fashioned despots are the leadership predominantly only do so because the military backs the despot. He sites Saudi Arabia and Egypt to name a few which would have succumb to Islamism long ago if it were not for the power of military might.
Something you should think about after reading Bukay’s analysis. It has been said that the percentage of Islamists in the world represents 10% of global Islam. Let’s say that as of 2009 there are 2.4 BILLION Muslims globally. Ten percent would be 240 MILLION Islamists world wide.
Now that 240 MILLION is a huge chunk of people. Now imagine this: according to my interpretation of Dr. Bukay’s article; that would mean there 2.16 BILLION Muslims who predominantly look up to the agenda to activist Islamists.

Here are some rough notes from Gary H. Johnson, Jr. pertaining to an article that appeared in Newsweek written by Fareed Zakaria. I say “rough notes” because Mr. Johnson intends to polish his insight into an essay or three.
Johnson brilliantly lays waste to Zakaria’s assertion the West should pony up and just accept Islamism because it is more a local cultural phenomenon than a global phenomenon.
I can say in a very unscholarly way that Zakaria’s assertion is WACK.
Read Johnson’s rough notes and see why.

Here is some fascinating speculation on the future of Pakistan as written by Kathy Shaidle.
The news piece predicts that Pakistan will essentially implode due to the disparate interests of ruling elites.
It runs something like this: There are the traditional Pakistan elites descending from the British created Pakistan of 1947 which is a tender balance between Pakistani mullahs and the power of the military. Added to this now is the retro-radical Sharia Law espoused by the influence of the Taliban.
As the years have gone by since 1947 Independence, apparently the radical Islam of the northwest portions of Pakistan have closely akin to the radical Islam of Afghanistan which is known to us today as the Taliban.
Apparently Pakistan’s new President Zardari has signed a temporary truce with Taliban elements in Pakistan. The bargain: The Pakistan government will not interfere with the implementation of Taliban retro-radical Sharia Law in exchange with for the Taliban to not execute paramilitary Islamic terrorism in the government controlled portion of Pakistan.
Shaidle’s article reports that Salim Mansur of the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC believes that Pakistan is on a path of dissolving. I am guessing that means Pakistan will divide into one or more nations.
I did find it interesting is this discussion of a Pakistan implosion that Shaidle did not mention Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The ISI is nearly a rogue agency within the Pakistani government that has at times served the civilian government and at times served the Pakistan military. This clandestine State spy agency appears to have a different agenda than that hoped for from an American ally which the USA considers Pakistan. The ISI is deeply involved in aiding radical Islamic terrorists pointed at India, Afghanistan and radical Islamic elements within Pakistan itself. This would make the ISI an enemy of the USA within the Pakistan government. This also points to a further disintegration of Pakistan in which may lead to the Pakistani government becoming an Islamic Sunni Revolutionary State comparable to the Shi’ite Revolutionary State in Iran.
I am guessing the ISI may have a clandestine agenda to get the Pakistan military on board to an Islamic State that will either unify Pakistanis under a rigid Islam if successful or the ISI working for two emerging Pakistani governments: a Palestinian military dictatorship sympathetic to Islamic terrorists and an Islamic terrorist State controlled by the Taliban or one of many Taliban-like Islamic terrorists. Since there are number of radical Islamic terrorists that are more native to Pakistan, there is also a chance that a break-away portion of Pakistan might be a government of some form of radical Islamic federation.
The question then becomes with all these scenarios, ‘What happens to the nuclear arsenal?’

Here is an awesome article sent to me by Gary H. Johnson pertaining to the Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA) of Fairfax County, Virginia.
This is one of those typical cases of the failure of the Mainstream Media and the U.S. government failing to alert Americans about the radical Islam being taught and financed by Saudi Arabia on American soil.
The ISA is a breeding ground for home grown radical Islamic terrorists on American soil.
Read Gary H. Johnson’s essay which should leave you shocked about what I call a growing Fifth Column of anti-Americanism within the borders of the United States of America.

The Religion of peace’s latest attack on non-Muslims in Mumbai, India was horrific. What may not have been known is that of the nearly 200 murdered by Islamic terrorists is that there were a number of Jews.
Courtesy of Islamic Supremacism and hate the Jews were not only killed but blatantly tortured then executed.
The great tragedy includes the fact that these Islamic extremists were following the dictates of their holy writings as opposed to the claim by Muslim/Mohammedan apologists these violent actions are outside the theology of Islam/Mohammedanism.
I find it more and more unbelievable that the West’s PC culture continues to look the other way when the inherently violent Theo-political cult erupts into death and destruction.
