Losing the War on Islamic Terrorism

“A national security professional’s duty is not to know true Islam; it is to identify and establish a functional threat doctrine, regardless of whether that doctrine accurately tracks with ‘true’ Islam or not. What matters is that we understand the enemy’s doctrines, not whether he is correct about them,” writes Stephen Coughlin in his most recent book Catastrophic Failure: Blindfolding America in the Face of Jihad.

Detailing how the War on Terror has effectively been lost through decision making that is increasingly less focused on the threat as it presents itself and more on the narratives that have reduced the threat to a nameless abstraction, Coughlin notes, “Today, individuals with Muslim Brotherhood affiliations dictate who can and cannot work for the government on War on Terror issues. They also dictate what can and cannot be discussed.”

“As long as they can keep us from understanding the enemy doctrine, they can keep us from winning the war. There is no knowing this enemy without understanding that doctrine, and there is no victory without knowing the enemy. These are facts. We can lose a war— and our country— for want of readily available facts, which are ignored according to policy,” states Coughlin. To the everyday American who for the most part is not aware of the purges that have taken place within our national security apparatus, this may sound farfetched as if it was the making of a conspiracy theory, but it isn’t. As the declared enemy has stated that their fighting doctrine is based on the Islamic Law of jihad, Islamic Law must be incorporated into any competent threat analysis as the enemy identifies its doctrine along Islamic lines. Today, you will not find a single threat analysis within the myriad of national security agencies that even identifies Islam nor jihad.

The reason for this is due to the terrorist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood having insulated itself within our government, military, the national security establishment, transnational bodies, and even interfaith communities. Before we can even grasp how the Muslim Brotherhood today now controls the domestic debate within our own national security circles regarding Islam, we must first look at whom this enemy truly is. The Brotherhood’s stated goal is to eliminate and destroy Western civilization from within as the document that reveals how to achieve this goal was labeled An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America.

The 18-page document was entered into evidence in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation terror funding trial. Federal investigators found the document in the home of Ismael Elbarasse, a founder of the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia, during a 2004 search. The document was written in 1991 by Muslim Brotherhood operative Mohamed Akram and lays out the Brotherhood’s plan as a “civilizational alternative” for infiltrating non-Islamic forms of society and governance for the “global Islamic state.”

The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Brotherhood] 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. It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes.

The memo further identifies numerous groups operating as fronts for the Brotherhood under the heading “a list of our organizations and the organizations of our friends.” Such groups are as the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Muslim Student Association (MSA), The Muslim Communities Association (MCA), as well as a litany of others are all identified. It is important to note that out of this memorandum the preeminent Muslim Brotherhood front organizations we see working within the United States today were born, those being the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC).

Coughlin details how the Brotherhood operations in America began with this memorandum as it outlined a strategy in which it first penetrated American institutions under the guise of being a “moderate” organization in order to effect downstream efforts from within. Coughlin writes, “this is what the Brotherhood is referring to when it says it seeks ‘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.’ While penetrating government and civil organizations is important, the interfaith movement constitutes a major supporting line of operation in Brotherhood penetration operations.” It is from the interfaith movement, or as the White House likes to call it “Muslim outreach“, that the Brotherhood has gained so much influence over our national security.

For instance, in October 2011, 57 organizations made up the likes of Brotherhood front organizations such as CAIR, ICNA, and MSA wrote a letter demanding President Barack Obama’s Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (and future Central Intelligence Agency Director) John Brennan, urging him to take action over U.S. government training materials alleged to demonstrate a prejudice against Islam. In the letter the organizations insist on firings, “re-training” and “purges” of officers, analysts, Special Agents, and decision makers who created or made such materials available. With information that these groups could have only obtained from sources within, they go on to note specific material as having an “anti-Muslim bias” such as the FBI’s 2011 training manual, books at the FBI library in their training academy in Quantico, Virginia, specific FBI trainers and analysts, and a report made by Army Command and General Staff at the Fort Leavenworth School of Advanced Military Studies.

The same week that the letter was sent to the White House, a meeting was held at George Washington University between these same groups and top DOJ officials, including DOJ Civil Rights Division head Tom Perez. According to a report on this meeting by Neil Munro of the Daily Caller, several Muslim group leaders called for creating criminal and civil penalties for anyone advocating positions they deem offensive. Most notably in attendance were Sahar Aziz, an Egyptian-born American lawyer and Fellow at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, a Muslim advocacy group based in Michigan and Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), one of the largest Brotherhood front groups in America.

At the meeting, the Islamists lobbied for: Cutbacks in U.S. anti-terror training, limits on the power of terrorism investigators, changes in agent training manuals, and a legal declaration that criticism of Islam in the United States should be considered racial discrimination. Aziz said that the word “Muslim” has become “radicalized” and, once American criticism of Islam was silenced, the effect would be to “take (federal) money away from local police departments and fusion centers who are spying on all of us.” Magid asked Perez to change the federal government’s rules governing terror investigations, for more private meetings with top justice department officials, for the reeducation of FBI agents, and for more people to oppose criticism of Islam, which he labelled “religious bigotry and hate.”

Days later, after both the letter sent to the White House and the meeting with DOJ officials, Brennan responded by agreeing on the necessity for the “White House to immediately create an interagency Task Force to address the problem and bring the FBI and DHS into compliance with Islamic sensibilities” by removing personnel and products that these Brotherhood front organizations had deemed “biased, false, and highly offensive.” Brennan further stated that such a review was already underway by the administration in order to improve training for “Countering Violent Extremism” (CVE). The process included combining “cultural awareness” with the CVE “training guidance and best practices” directives. It also meant putting out “a bulletin” to state, local, and tribal entities that “regularly leverage federal grants to fund CVE-related trainings” to provide guidance in their efforts.

“The FBI proceeded to undertake the very purging of documents that these Brotherhood front organizations had demanded and the Department of Defense followed shorty thereafter with a Soviet style purge of individuals along with disciplinary actions and re-education,” writes Stephen Coughlin. Coughlin goes on to state that, “the very information that senior leaders such as Brennan, Perez, and those within the Obama adminstration sought to purge from analysis and censor from discussion was the same information that has repeatedly provided indicators and warnings of threat activity when presented in national security forums.”

It is through the adminstration’s “Countering Violent Extremism” protocols and advisory councils that the purging of work product and personnel continues to this day. Thus, the Muslim Brotherhood through various front groups such as CAIR now control the domestic debate on countering terrorism through the CVE narrative, which in effect is a sophisticated information campaign executed through the skilled imposition of a disarming pseudo-reality. National security officials working within the DHS, FBI, CIA, and DOJ now look to Muslim Brotherhood groups like CAIR, ISNA, MPAC, and others for guidance domestically. It is through the CVE that the threat language of terrorist groups like ISIS, al-Qaeda, and the Muslim Brotherhood was purged from our national security and law enforcement sectors.

Hence, it is because of the CVE and not in spite of it, that the threat vocabulary defining this enemy has been purged, leaving us defenseless and unable to counter actual terrorists in the War on Terror. “The most disturbing aspect of the CVE,” writes Coughlin, “will be the realization that national security elites beholden to the oath to support and defend the Constitution have been manipulated into taking active measures to suppress true threat analysis that is supposed to be undertaken in support of the primary intelligence mission: to know the enemy.”

As it stands today, America is losing the War on Terror as we are fighting the counter-terror war according to narratives that declare actual fact-based threat analysis unconstitutional on religious grounds yet allow actual terrorists to serve as the arbiters of our counter-ideology campaigns based on language requirements and legal doctrines that are not our own.

THE TIP OF THE SPEAR
“Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.” Winston Churchill

Since the tragic events of 911, I have spent more time than I ought trying to understand what many – too many – foolishly refer to as the “religion” of Islam.

That has led me to a more intense study of Nazism, Communism, Maoism and other tyrannical political/economic/legal systems.

And THAT has led me to conclude that of the three named above – all of which exacted a terrible human toll – Islam is by far the most dangerous because, of them, only Islam holds itself out to be a “religion”.

As fanatical as the Nazis, Communists and Maoists were – and, of those now among us here in America, the communists who now call themselves “socialists” and “progressives” (all Democrats) – the mindless fervor of the more radical Muslims eclipses all but the more radical “progressives” by orders of magnitude.

But what about the “moderate” Muslims? As several authors correctly observe, they are “irrelevant” as they fail to condemn the murderous radicals. And if the radicals succeed in their quest to dominate the world with their “caliphate”, these so called moderates – who profess to embrace the words of the Koran and the verses calling for the murder of the infidel “wherever he is found” – would quickly swing in behind the crazies to avail themselves of the worldly fruits of their victory.

There are Western parallels to the current Muslim rampage.

Putting aside the frequently dredged up activities of the oligarchs, industrialists, war profiteers Zionists, New World Order crowd and the rest, when America has gone to war, it has been generally understood that we did so to either protect legitimate American national interests or to assist treaty partners under assault by invaders. And those American forces involved in actual combat have been a small percentage of our overall population. The military term for that is “the tip of the spear.” Despite the expected wartime disruptions and accelerated production activities, most Americans were behind those war efforts and could be viewed as analogous to the “moderates” among the Muslims of today.

The Muslim forces now murdering their way across the Middle East and now into Europe are also a fraction of the peoples from that area. So far as we can tell, the majority of other Muslims in that part of the world are those “moderates” referred to above.

Here’s where the parallel ends: When Americans defeated the forces that took us to war, we brought most of our folks home and tried to resume our normal national life, generally leaving the vanquished to resume theirs after attempting to share with them the principles and benefits of the system of economic and individual freedom that makes America unique and, Obama’s protestations to the contrary, exceptional. With the tragic exception of Germany after WWI, we have even helped rebuild the areas in which the conflict raged.

And here is the MOST significant departure from OUR foreign conflicts: OURS have been waged to preserve our freedoms and to establish greater freedoms for those whom we defeated. Islam’s goal is PHYSICAL, MORAL AND SPIRITUAL DOMINATION and those who RESIST ARE TO BE MURDERED!

If Islam should prevail in the current and escalating battle, because their Koran COMMANDS Muslims to DOMINATE THE EARTH, sure as God made little green apples, it IS coming, that bloody physical battle will be waged ON OUR SOIL. A far larger proportion of otherwise noncombat Americans will be involved because, like the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the War Between the States, IT WILL BE FOUGHT AROUND AND AMONG US.

None will be spared.

Which brings me to a recent media “non-event” that just occurred. Senator Jeff Sessions warned Obama and Kerry to reexamine their insane plan to import up to 100,000 UNVETTED Muslim “refugees”. Senator Sessions used the term “POTENTIAL TERRORIST ARMY” in his remarks. I can’t recall ANY nation whose “leaders” sought to invite potential enemy combatants to its shores, let alone PAY them once in.

A senior statesman like Sessions does not lightly use such language unless he knows something a sad number of Americans either do not or, heads in the sand (or elsewhere) and because they prefer “diversity and tolerance” to freedom, choose to ignore. That phrase probably had a great deal to do with the blackout of his comments by the PC infected “progressive” news whores.

All of which has caused me – and others who have not been cowed by political correctness into a cowardly and, eventually, deadly silence – to offer that there IS NO RADICAL ISLAM: THERE IS JUST ISLAM and ALL of its adherents pose a threat to those who are not.

THINK ABOUT IT...THEN START RAISING HELL WITH THE PUSILLANIMOUS WIMPS NOW THE RULE AMONG THE POLITICAL ELITES!!

And if you believe my remarks to be too strong, rash and politically incorrect, spend 40 minutes here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjBDDC4wVxk with Dr. Bill Warner.
(Don’t be concerned that the first 5 minutes is a low key by Dr. Warner for his books. If not interested in that section, at least sample it to see how thorough is the man’s research. If you’ll run the slider out just past minute 5, you’ll be into the red meat of this important presentation.)

I know I’ve titled this “The Tip of the Spear”. To drive the point home more vividly, I should have called it “The Blade of the Beheading Sword”.

Perhaps Dr. Warner can convince you that we REALLY ARE LITERALLY in for the fight of our lives.
