Even as key Arab leaders were pretending to find a common ground for a two State solution between Israel and Arabs that call them selves Palestinians they are apparently working for a Middle Eastern rapprochement of Arab leaders including Shi’ite Iran.
This demonstrates how duplicitous Arab involvement at the Annapolis Peace Conference was. It provides explanations of the Saudi led delegation of Arabs laying on the table demands on Israel that would effectively lead to the future annihilation of the Jewish State of Israel.
The result of an Arab rapprochement would lead to a direction of radical Islam. This means that the Muslim Middle East is beginning to view the power of America as not absolute and that playing old Cold War politics by courting the interests of the EU, Russia and China might further the ingrained Dar al Islam vision of a more confederated Muslim Middle East.
Obviously political nationalism foisted by the various titular heads of Muslim nations would prevent a united Muslim Middle Eastern political entity; however the goals of destroying Israel could become a united end game.
Victory upon victory by Israel over deficient Arab militaries began to wear them down from maintaining political normalcy in global economic involvement. When it became apparent that America was becoming the global hegemon and the old USSR was crumbling and China’s military complex was not even close to challenge America’s military, various Arab leaders began to view their religious hatred of Israel through the filter of real politics.
Some like Egypt and Jordan normalized political relations with Israel and others like Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Syria spoke a hostile game but left Israel alone (particularly after Israel bombed an Iraq nuke plant).
Then transnational terrorism aided by Muslim nations who saw a clandestine client to test America and Israel has proven to chip the armor of invincibility, especially on Israel.
So now scary things are emerging, one example being Egypt seeking to normalize relations with radical Iran (the preeminent supporter of client terrorism). And Saudi Arabia is pitching as a go between in the Arab world with diplomatic contact Iran. Saudi Arabia via Wahhabi millionaires is probably the second most preeminent of transnational terrorism.
The result is a subtle association leaning toward radical Islamicism in the Middle East.
One of my friends of the Yahoo 360 Blogs – Eagle – has dedicated his blog to fight bigotry. Eagle understands the heinous incidents were the provocative acts of homicidal suicide that murdered thousands of Americans; however Eagle’s aim to defeat bigotry wishes to make it clear that Islamist terrorists were the perpetrators of a transnational act of war. In Eagle’s view all of Islam should not be held accountable for the acts of radical Islam.
Six years ago Eagle’s aim may have been a reasonable assumption about Islam; however over the years I have become to believe that the nature of Islam is derived from what that religion considers holy Scriptures: Quran, Hadith, Sunna, Sharia Law and so on. These are not nice non-violent documents except toward a believer in Islam itself. The documents call for the torment and/or execution of non-Muslims (fakir) depending on rather or not the non-Muslim submits to a dhimmi status. The dhimmi status is a state of existence of second class citizenship which must be continuously humiliated by the considered superior Islam religion. Thus if a dhimmi is not submissive to the status forced upon him/her, the person could face punishment up too execution. Executions are not pretty in Islamic cultures. This is why the Internet is littered with Islamists beheading (or sometimes stoning) Americans and Sharia Law breakers.
In the West and especially America before 9/11, I fully believe a majority of Muslims could be assessed as moderate non-violent people; however the longevity of America’s War on Terror (i.e. radical Islamists) has began to transform the Western Moderate Muslim to admire Islamism. I believe this admiration results from the very Scriptures Muslims considered hallowed.
In the Middle East itself the Muslim world has become increasingly radicalized because of the teaching of Jewish hatred in Mosques and Madrassas since the end of World War Two. I do not consider it an error to say that a majority of the Intelligencia class of Muslims actively or clandestinely support Islamist ideology which is a typical Theo-political vision to dominate the globe with Islam.
(I have to point out as a side bar that I detest the appellation of the word “Islam” for the followers of Mohammed and Mohammed’s example. I usually refer to the followers of Mohammed as Mohammedans because “Islam” is a word that references “Submission.” I am never going to submit to Mohammedans. I utilize the word “Islam” and “Muslim” her mostly for the benefit of my friend Eagle. Do not insult your friends.)
Bigotry is an awful place to be. Bigotry unleashed in modern society has the ability to nearly enslave its victims (somewhat like the dhimmis of Islam). I realize I walk a fine line between bigotry and self-preservation. I pray I never go over the edge. You need to realize that much of the religious literature that enters American Mosques arrive from Saudi Arabia, the home of the most cruel Islamic school of thought – Wahhabism. Usama bin Laden (UBL) is a Wahhabi. The Muslim Brotherhood which dominates Islamic religion in Egypt is much like the Wahhabists of Saudi Arabia in that they the same goals (yet I believe the two are competitors in the Middle East). A majority of Muslim-American organizations that claim to be civil rights groups protecting the rights of Muslim-Americans receive money and literature from three main groups: Saudi Wahhabis, The Muslim Brotherhood (SA FrontPageMag.com)and Iranian Shia client terrorist organization Hezbollah. There are transnational terrorists other than the three above mentioned that also export radical ideology to America; however they are akin or similar to the above three.
Evidently Eagle was the recipient of a chain e-mail (I am just guessing). For in Eagle’s quest to eliminate bigotry he focuses on a valiant Muslim by the name of Ali Salem.
It is a worthy cause to fight and defeat bigotry. Also Ali Salem is a legitimate Muslim taking a stand against Islamism. However I disagree that Ali Salem represents the mindset of Islam toward the West, particularly in the Middle East. Ali Salem was persecuted for his writings and his publisher [Director of Ibn Khaldoun Center for Development Studies in Cairo] was sent to prison for seven years in Egypt. Ali Salem was detained with Ibn Khaldoun but was released ca. 2000. Ali Salem was booted out of the Egyptian Writer's Union; however he managed to get the Egyptian Courts to overturn the Writer's Union ejection. After Ali Salem's court victory and reinstatement, he quit to prove his point about Islamic bigotry. The last information - 2002 - I managed to discover by Googling that Salem is being treated by the Egyptian intelligencia as a pariah (meforum link above and http://www.library.cornell.edu/colldev/mideast/alsalem.htm).
I am afraid the longer the War on Terrorism exists the more Muslims become at least supportive of Islamist goals while a growing minority switch from the Moderate Islam to radical Islamism. Remember the small percentage of global Islamists seems low; however it translates into tens of millions of radicals out of the hundreds of millions of Muslims. That is a chunk of people that desire the death and destruction of Americans and Jews.
Thus personally, I am known as an Islamophobe. To undo this Islamophobia, trust must be earned not assumed.
If you have read my posts in the past you are aware that I think the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is an evil seed prepared to plant a radical Mohammedan agenda in America. Mysteriously CAIR attempts to present a public image of moderate Mohammedanism. Due to the moderate propaganda Democrats (for sure), many Republicans, government bureaucracies (including the Bush Administration) have lined up in dhimmi style political correctness to accommodate CAIR.
CAIR has learned valuable lessons from its political ally the ACLU to use litigation as a tool to intimidate critics and local governments into submission. Andrew Whitehead of Anti-CAIR has successfully withstood such litigation. If you want to learn the facts about CAIR read Whitehead’s dedicated Website of exposition. Another web location for the true nature of CAIR is CAIRwatch. Both Websites in marvelous detail demonstrate a connection to radical Islamist terrorists.
Now I have laid out all this nice information for verification because I just finished reading a short NewsMax article about Hamas; the terrorist Islamofascist Palestinian organization with close ties to Islamist notable notorious Muslim Brotherhood which in itself has ties to the Wahhabi Sunni school of thought that is hyper-Islamist (and originated in Saudi Arabia).
Now that is quite the Mohammedan lineage is it not?
The NewsMax article informs us that Hamas not only wants the nation Israel destroyed, the psycho-Mohammedans desire a Hitlerite Final Solution in which ALL Jews are eliminated from the globe.
Now here is the thing: CAIR not only highly supports Hamas’ agenda but also has direct links to the murderers. Does that sound like the voice of American moderation for Mohammedans in ? Also think about this: CAIR, though not the only American Mohammedan organization in , is the premier representative of Mohammedans in America.
If you hear or read a Mohammedan PBUH these thoughts go the linked websites of Anti-CAIR and CAIRwatch linked above.
At least one million Turks poured into the streets of Istanbul (once Christian Constantinople) to protest radical Islamist policies of the current elected Parliamentary government of Prime Minister Erdogan. Even military elites of Turkey are warning Erdogan to chill with the social Islamist policies of Erdogan’s government.
I have to admit I was dubious of Turkey once Erdogan became Prime Minister with a Parliamentary coalition. I had been convinced at that time that Mohammedanism did not have people dynamic enough to transform medieval Sharia thinking to a 21st Century secular democracy. In Muslim lands I am all for the dominant culture to adhere to its foundations such as prayer and rituals; however the penalties of Sharia Law are barbarically medieval.
One million protestors are calling for the secular way established by Ataturk who abolished many social conventions of Mohammedanism to allow a secular Republic to emerge. Granted Turkey has had its problems: the Turkish military has often abrogated governments that did not follow military guidance.
If Turkish Mohammedans can transform that could be a sign of a socio-religious transformation. If only the Turks could find someone with the charisma of Ataturk’s secularism and the spiritual consciousness of an Imam united as one, then Mohammedanism could join the globe of tolerated and tolerating religions. If not …
Greg Lewis postulates in a short essay: Perhaps Terrorists Really Do Speak for Islam. I tend to agree with Lewis.
All the acts of brutality, torture and atrocity that includes men, women and children of both the Mohammedan cult and Western non-believers of Mohammed’s dubious revealed words from a demon called Allah as mediated by an angel disguised in light called Gabriel (in English).
I recently answered the propagandized accusations by a Mohammedan that did not even have the courage to use a name other than “anonymous.” His multiple posts did not one time condemn the acts of radical Islamist terrorism. Instead “anonymous” chose to deflect the heinous brutality of Mohammedans by comparing them to bad things America and Israel have perpetrated.
There is not one super power in modern history that has made mistakes in policy choices. Of those modern Super powers or regional hegemonic powers that utilize Democracy as the rule of law, not one can be accused brutal executions and unutterable torture. America’s so-called acts of torture are a mosquito bite compared to Mohammedan torture and violence.
Hitler was responsible for 12 million genocidal murders of which 6 million were Jews.
Stalin was responsible for 13 million genocidal murders.
Mao Ze-Dong was responsible for 49 million genocidal murders. China is not Western but I had to include Mao by the mere enormity of his atrocity.
All the above were managed by a rule of law that was dictatorial. Ironically Hitler is considered a hero by most Middle Eastern Mohammedans. Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” is huge in the Middle East. In some Middle Eastern nations “Mein Kampf” is a best seller. Hitler was popularized by the mid-twentieth century Grand Mufti of Jerusalem – al Husseini.
I wonder what the death toll that Mohammedans have produced from the 600’s AD to the present. Why do I wonder that? Mohammed’s prime directive was conversion, dhimmitude-humiliation or death. This prime directive is the call of Jihad among Islamists in the twenty-first century. VERY few so-called moderate Mohammedans have expressed outrage at this medieval prime directive. The few that have been imprisoned, tortured, murdered or have a price on their head if they are lucky enough to live in the West.
Western Mosques tend to be dominated by Sunni-Wahhabis or Iran Revolutionary Shi’ites. That means the same people who finance Islamofascist terrorists that are enemies of and also support the indoctrination in Western Mosques. It is only a matter of time until Western Democracies will have to make a decision: eject Mohammedan civil rights or be consumed by Mohammedans transforming Western Democracy into a matter of history as defined by Mohammedans.
(I owe a huge hat tip to On the Wing Blog.)
The Politically Correct would have you think that Moderate Islam is the predominate theology among Mohammedans. If that were so you would view this mysterious majority hitting the streets denouncing the acts of Radical Islamists of both the Sunni and Shia. You do not see this!
The Acts the Mainstream Media (MSM) shows are anti-American and anti-Jewish demonstrations both in America and the Middle East. There is NO Mohammedan organization that denounces Islamist Theo-political ideology.
What should an American with brains surmise from this glaring lack of denunciation by so-called Moderates against Radical Islamism? An American with brains should surmise at the very least that there is wide spread closet support for the radical Mohammedan agenda.
That Mohammedan agenda has been the same since Mohammed became delusional in a cave hearing voices to conquer the world for the demon Allah; i.e. Mohammedan Imperialism.
I just read a most fascinating Paper written by Matthias Küntzel concerning the connection to Hitler’s legacy and the current Islamofascism. Everyday people simply have NO idea on how much Adolf Hitler is praised and admired by Mohammedans influenced by strict adherence to Mohammed’s example and Sharia Law.
Küntzel sets out to draw a line from Hitler to el-Husseini (Grand Mufti of Jerusalem) to Hassan al-Banna (influenced by Wahhabis and founder of Muslim Brotherhood) and other Mohammedan Nationalists of the time.
The interesting thing that stands out is that the Mohammedan nations that spew the most hatred today seemed to accept a Jewish entity in the in the late 19th Century and pre-WWI era. It was the influence of these early Islamofascists that changed the thought patterns of the Middle Eastern Mohammedan to that of common hatred of Jews, Christians and Democracy.
The great tragedy of the successful Islamofascist propaganda indoctrination of the Middle East lay in extremely short sighted diplomacy of Western Victors of WWII to cuddle up to the Mohammedan of the period. Thus war criminal el-Husseini was actually permitted to escape and now here we are today dealing with the diplomacy of expediency.
This is the same kind of diplomacy promoted by the current Democratic Party, RINO’s and Appeasement minded Europeans.
You must read Küntzel’s Paper for an understanding of the present. You can go to the source at Think-Israel or I have it posted after this introduction at SlantRight.com.
There is an incredible intrusion on Freedom of Speech being perpetrated on college campuses. A group of Resident Assistants (RA) made a video parody of Mohammedan hostage takers speaking in cartoonish voices. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) contacted Long Island University to inform this insensitivity needs to be addressed.
The University bowed to the dhimmitude of CAIR and promptly fired the RA’s for failing to be sensitive roll models for students in the Dorm.
Imagine that! CAIR demands sensitivity to Mohammedan terrorists who torture and behead American and Jews. Long Island University agrees with CAIR. Long Island University should be caring more about the sensitivity of Americans to the terrorists that CAIR supports and simultaneously claims to represent the peaceful Mohammedans living in America. CAIR is an oxymoron: it supports terrorism privately and claims to be a moderate Islamic (I prefer Mohammedanism – I am a Christian) to the American government and media in public.
I was alerted to this hypocritical travesty by Anti-CAIR via an e-newsletter:
News & Analysis
004/07 February 8, 2007CAIR: Offended by Rubber Duck
On February 7, the “Newsday.com” web site carried a story about college employee’s being fired over a video they posted that insults Islam.
The video, by five student resident hall assistants (RA’s), mocked real-life terrorists by holding a rubber duck, “Pete”, as hostage. The five spoke in exaggerated accents, wore terrorist garb, and were generally insensitive to Muslim terrorists.
How do we know that they were insensitive to Muslim terrorists?
Simple: The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) got involved.
In the words of CAIR’s spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper: “It’s something that needs to be addressed”.
Really? Five students mock Muslim terrorists (We assume they are mocking Muslims, else why would Hooper get involved?), and this is “something that needs to be addressed?”
Parroting CAIR’s attitude, university provost Joseph Shenker said that student RA’s "…function as role models and as teachers for the other students…" We expect them to be instructing our students on being sensitive regarding all groups.”
There we have it. Student RA’s are expected to be sensitive to all groups; including Muslim terrorists.
Shenker continues: “I think the tape was an insult to the victims and families involved in hostage situations.”
If so, why didn’t Newsday.com find a beheading victim to interview?
Would it be because they are all dead at the hands of Muslim terrorists?
As to the families, there were none mentioned in the article. Even so, we find it very hard to believe that anyone would mind mocking Muslim terrorists.
Except CAIR
Imagine that!
Yes, imagine that. Academia is more concerned about Politically Correct Mohammedan sensitivity than the sensitivity of Americans murdered and executed by radical Islamist terrorists. The very organizations approved by CAIR.
Islamofascism in South and Southeast seems to have nations with Democratic roots begin to embrace a military ruling base. Evidently the generals in the various democratic South and Southeast Asian nations sense democracy is not confronting or ending radical Islamism.
READ the Council on Foreign Relations assessment.
I guarantee you South and Southeast Asian militaristic emergence is something on the back of the mind of China. China has been modernizing and escalating its military to near super power status.
China is also in the selling of military hardware business. This could be an opportunity for China to undermine American National Interests in South and Southeast by selling arms to both militaristic States and (secretly) to Islamist terrorists.
Biography from The Intelligence Summit:
Paul "Dave" Gaubatz, former Federal Agent with the equivalent rank of major, is a State Department-trained Arabic linguist and counterterrorism specialist. He has acquired over two decades of experience while working on assignments in Middle-Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, and Iraq. Currently Chief Field Investigator with the Dallas County Medical Examiner, Dallas, Texas, Mr. Gaubatz created Gaubatz Arabic & Counterterrorism Lecture Services in December, 2004.
The first civilian Federal Agent deployed to , Iraq, in 2003, Mr. Gaubatz was able to travel to various cities throughout , using his Arabic-language training extensively. During this time, he led a mission to rescue the family of Mohammed Odeh Al-Rehaief, the Iraqi lawyer who saved the life of Private Jessica Lynch. Today, Mr. Al-Rehaief and his family live safely in the Washington area.
Upon returning from in July 2003, Mr. Gaubatz wrote a practical, basic Arabic survival guide, and began lecturing in schools and businesses, and also to law enforcement officers. He instructed …
Dave Gaubatz knows what he is talking about. I am certain the Slanted Left has had the benefit of Gaubatz’s professional expertise. I am also certain that the national politics of America and the potentiality of geopolitics (confronting Syria and militarily) has spurned public acknowledgement of Gaubatz’s Intelligence findings.
It is my opinion that the Left Elite and the Right Elite have dropped the ball on the War on Terrorism. There is way too much emphasis in not offending Mohammedans and not enough emphasis in seeking out Islamofascist terrorists that do not follow International Conventions or the Laws of the Land in the various nations the terrorists anonymously roam.
Islamofascism needs to be stamped out at least on a local level. YES, this means the utilization of profiling. If it makes Lefties more comfortable, the profiling should not be so much racial profiling as Islamofascist profiling.
Islamofascism and radical Islamism reach beyond race. This odious ideology clothed in religion is not just Middle Eastern. This radicalism has infected Western nations on a local level through the Petro-Dollars of Sunni Wahhabists and Iranian Shi’ites.
Those two ideologies preach and teach hatred of and America in particular. Those two ideologies have exported that hatred by building Mosques in the West and providing the ideology of hate to be taught in the Western Mosques.
To comprehend the danger which I speak, read Dave Gaubatz’s Essay on SLEEPER CELLS IN AMERICA AND CANADA.
