via Stakelbeck on Terror Show: Islamization in America
On this week’s edition of the Stakelbeck on Terror show, Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller–two leading voices in the fight against the Islamization of the West–join me to discuss Islamic honor killings in America, Sharia law in your backyard, and the latest on the Ground Zero mega-mosque.Plus, we go inside Spencer’s eye-opening new book, Did Muhammed Exist?The politically correct need not apply.

A survey of 1,000 Likely Voters nationwide conducted on May 10-11, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports has revealed the following key findings:
After nearly 19,000 jihadist attacks since 9/11/2001, perhaps these somber, if Islamo-Realistic views, are influenced by a phenomenon Nicolai Sennels characterized in his essay, and plea for moral clarity in nomenclature, “Islamonausea, not Islamophobia.”
“But it is certainly true – if you do look at islamic doctrine, law, and scripture as written – that Jew-hatred – anti-Semitism – is intrinsic, and it is so because of the example of the muslim prophet mohammad. And it began according to the historical record with his conflict with the Jews of the peninsula, which became the Saudi peninsula.”

Islam’s defining doctrine of jihad war against non-Muslims, and resultant 14 centuries of sanguinary imperialism, and accompanying acts of terrorism, through the present, notwithstanding, ad nauseum contemporary State Department pronouncements re-affirm what Muslim propagandists insist–that the creed is an enlightened pacifism.
Glaring examples of this corrosive State Department apologetic on Islam have been provided by the two most recent Secretaries of State, Condoleeza Rice, and the current Secretary, Hillary Clinton. Then Secretary Rice, at The Annual State Department Iftar Dinner, October 25, 2005, amplified the standard “religion of peace” trope, asserting Islam was
…a great faith, of one of the world’s great religions, a religion of peace and love.
During her September 15, 2009 Iftar Dinner address, Secretary Clinton used the jihadist Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood offshoot, Council on American Islamic Relations’ (CAIR’s) deliberately inflated estimate of US Muslims (~ 7million; hard data from the Pew Forum in early 2010 tallied 2.6 million US Muslims), to claim,
The nearly 7 million Muslims in our country have enriched our culture, have made it stronger because of the contributions that many of you and others across America have given to us.
Clinton then added her own hagiographic editorial comments on Islam, as ostensibly embodied in the celebration of Ramadan (ignoring the association between Ramadan and jihadism, since the advent of the creed), and the supposed benevolent example of Islam’s prophet, Muhammad (oblivious to his role, affirmed by institutional Islam, as the prototype jihadist):
Now, this time of self-reflection and clarity reminds us that the principles that are the hallmark of Ramadan - charity, sacrifice, and compassion… we need to be inspired by our leaders to fight poverty, injustice and hate with, “the weapon of the Prophet–patience and righteousness.” Well, that, to me, sums up much of what we celebrate tonight as we break fast.
Such obsequious pandering to Islam–despite the daily confirmed, abject failure of these efforts to provide any strategic benefit to the US–was not always enshrined State Department “policy.”
Few organizations in the United States have been as consistent in attacking law enforcement as the Muslim Public Affairs Council and its president, Salam al-Marayati.
Marayati, who attended last year’s White House Iftar Dinner during Ramadan, has suggested that Muslim Americans are at war with both al-Qaeda and the FBI. “We in the Muslim American community have been battling the corrupt and bankrupt ideas of cults such as Al Qaeda,” he wrote in October in the Los Angeles Times.” Now it seems we also have to battle pseudo-experts in the FBI and the Department of Justice.”
Marayati was incensed over reports that the FBI and one U.S. Attorney’s office had used training materials “revealing a deep anti-Muslim sentiment within the U.S. government.” One example was a 2010 presentation by an analyst working for a U.S. Attorney in Pennsylvania which warned of a civilizational jihad that is “waged today in the U.S. by ‘civilians, juries, lawyers, media, and charities’” who “threaten our values.”
Marayati warned that if U.S. law enforcement continues to use such “incorrect and divisive” literature, the “partnership” between Muslim Americans and law enforcement “will slowly disintegrate.”
“Such baseless and inflammatory claims shall best be left to those few who share Al Qaeda’s agenda,” Marayati wrote. “In other words, the rhetoric of Al Qaeda and those law enforcement trainers are opposite sides of the same coin of hate.”
But the concept of civilization-jihad is not something conjured up by a consultant as a pretext to oppress Muslims. During the 2008 Hamas-financing prosecution of five former officials of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), FBI Agent Lara Burns testified about a 1991 internal memorandum outlining the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood-connected “Palestine Committee” which was created to advance the Hamas agenda in the United States.
“The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means,” the memo read. “The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”
The five HLF officials were convicted on all charges by a federal jury in Dallas and sentenced to long prison terms.
Despite its long record of attacking law enforcement efforts to protect the American people from jihadist violence, MPAC has gained influence within the Obama administration. The group’s Washington office director, Haris Tarin, has frequently attended White House events, including its Iftar Dinner last Ramadan and President Obama’s 9/11 Memorial at the Kennedy Center. In July, Obama personally telephoned Tarin to commend him for MPAC’s work.
And in recent months, MPAC, working in tandem with other Islamist organizations, has repeatedly pushed in order to bend U.S. government policies to its will.
In February, MPAC joined the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and other groups in meeting with FBI Director Robert Mueller to discuss purportedly anti-Muslim materials in Bureau training manuals.
MPAC’s website linked to an article which said the FBI had destroyed hundreds of terrorism documents in an effort to root out “Islamophobia.” The purged materials included articles and PowerPoint presentations defining jihad as “holy war” and describing the Brotherhood’s efforts to achieve world domination.
In April, MPAC and Muslim Advocates sprung into action after White House counterterrorism advisor John Brennan expressed “his full confidence that the NYPD is doing things consistent with the law, and it’s something that again has been responsible for keeping this city safe over the past decade.”
MPAC responded to Brennan’s statement with a call for “immediate public clarification” along with a threat. Much as Marayati did in the Los Angeles Times op-ed cited above, Tarin suggested Muslims would cease cooperating with law enforcement if surveillance policies were not changed to MPAC’s satisfaction.
“There are plenty of robust partnership models that both communities and the government have invested in and those partnerships will be jeopardized if NYPD’s current tactics are not halted, and its programs are not adjusted to more successful initiatives,” Tarin warned.
Four days after MPAC laid down the law, the Obama administration caved and issued a clarification of Brennan’s comments. The counterterrorism chief had “never approved of described press accounts of alleged NYPD surveillance,” a White House official said.
In earlier comments praising the police department, Brennan “wasn’t referring to the NYPD surveillance” that had come under attack from Islamist groups like MPAC and Muslim Advocates, the official added. “Rather, he was stating that everyone in the counterterrorism and law enforcement community must make sure we are doing things consistent with the law.”
Good news for those of you who enjoy taking your shoes off in airports. Al-Qaeda’s chief bombmaker, a cheerful fellow named Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, who sent his younger brother off on a suicide bombing mission with a bomb up his rectum, has been working on turning everything into a bomb. Cameras, printer cartridges and even pets.
The good news is that al-Asiri isn’t very good at it. His bomb did a good job of killing his brother, but not much else. The original underwear bomb worn by the Christmas bomber didn’t work out. The bad news is that with enough cannon fodder and enough attempts, sooner or later al-Asri or another college dropout will get it right. But even if he doesn’t, the force multiplier of the threat alone will do the job.
It’s not the bomb on the planes that are the problem, it’s the planes themselves and what they carry. It is the transportation links that relay Muslims out of their lands and into our own. Muslims term their lands the Dar-al-Islam and our lands, the Dar-al-Harb, the realm of the sword. But the irony is that it is Islamic lands which are the true realm of the sword, forever in conflict, Muslim fighting Muslim, while repressing and enslaving Jews, Christians, Hindus and any other minorities under Muslim rule.
IS EUROPE LOST? NOT IF THE SURGE IN RIGHT WING PARTIES HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT
Europe’s traditional liberal and tolerant policies, when directed toward the most intolerant people on earth (Muslims), are being challenged by right wing patriotic parties in virtually every country. Not surprisingly, this is not sitting well with the socialists, multiculturalists, and Muslim-apolgists who are trying to destroy European culture, traditions, and even Christianity.
Ukranian Week The Breivik massacres are a brutal awakening for Europe’s politicians, who have tended to ignore the growing Islamophobia and opposition to immigration (justifiable anti-Islam sentiment and opposition to a flood of Muslim immigrants, most of whom live off the government dole, getting benefits that the native populations are not not entitled to) even in countries traditionally liberal and tolerant.
In Scandinavia, across central Europe and especially in France, as Marie Le Pen has just shown in the French elections, hundreds of thousands of people, especially the young, are rallying to parties that promise an end to the influx of immigrants and refugees, a harsh crack-down on Muslim activists and a new emphasis on Europe’s ethnic “purity” and Christian identity.
Across Europe there are now some 30 far-right political parties that are winning votes, entering parliaments, influencing mainstream politicians and even signing agreements with traditional conservative parties – as has happened in the Netherlands. Few of these groups openly espouse the more extreme ravings published in Breivik’s manifesto. But all share similar core beliefs, and all, like Breivik, are spreading these through right-wing websites.
Extremist Patriotic parties on the right are mainly motivated by their visceral opposition to immigration (especially of Muslims), to ethnic diversity and to multiculturalism, which they believe is a danger to European culture and identity. They appeal to latent nationalism, are hostile to pan-European institutions such as the European Union, and have no time for liberalism or “soft” social policies.
Nationalism is still a powerful force among far-right groups, which seek to whip up pride in past glories and hatred of any curbs on the right of the majority to enforce its views on minorities. In Hungary, the Jobbik party has made clear its contempt for post-communist democracy. “We are not communists, fascists or National Socialists,” said Gabor Vona, one of its leaders, in January. “But – and this is important for everyone to understand very clearly – we are also not democrats”.
The party received 17 per cent of the vote in elections two years ago. And although the mainstream press gives it little publicity, it disseminates its views effectively on Facebook and other social networking services. And far from being a party made up of social misfits or losers, studies have shown that most of its supporters are young, have jobs, a secondary education or even a degree. This profile is also true elsewhere: most of those who vote for populist right-wing parties in Europe come from the middle classes, and are people afraid of economic and especially social change (aka the welfare state), according to a study made recently by the University of Nottingham, in England.
