Scott noted ( here) Bill Gertz's report on the conflict inside the Defense Department between between Stephen Coughlin, a leading student of Islamic extremism, and Hasham Islam, an aide to Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon R. England who conducts Muslim outreach on behalf of DOD. Coughlin had pointed out, based in part on information that came to light in the Holy Land Foundation trial in Texas, that several of the groups participating in Mr. Islam's outreach program are front organizations for the pro-jihad Muslim Brotherhood.
Gertz now (reports) that Islam won the bureaucratic battle: Coughlin has been fired from the U.S. military's Joint Staff:
Mr. Coughlin was notified this week that his contract with the Joint Staff will end in March, effectively halting the career of one of the U.S. government's most important figures in analyzing the nature of extremism and ultimately preparing to wage ideological war against it. The officials said Mr. Coughlin was let go because he had become "too hot" or controversial within the Pentagon.
It was bad enough when this kind of thinking dominated the State Department. Now, it's spread to DOD and the military.
There are real penalties for telling the truth...
Sperry: Right. Well some of them have sold us out. Case agents I talked to say they can't trust these guys. They say some have tipped off targets of terror investigations, while others are holding back key information from case agents they're working with—who are completely at their mercy because they don't speak Arabic and these other tongues. The Muslim translators are claiming the information is "NOT PERTINENT" to their investigations when in fact it is. They've also had a problem with laptops with classified al-Qaida information disappearing from that translation unit at FBI's Washington field office. It's a mess there, a veritable Muslim "mole house," as one bureau source put it. Some devout Muslims in the unit have gotten so cocky they're actually demanding separate potties from the "infidel" agents so they won't get dirty sitting on the same toilets. Others go around the language squad saying America had 9/11 coming to it because of our pro-Israel policies. It's outrageous, it's flat-out betrayal, and these are the people who are supposed to be protecting us from another 9/11.
Evidently the person responsible is Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon R. England.
Bush's single worst failing--other than his evident love of Mexican illegals and drug running hispanic criminals--has been his failure to clean out the traitors in the State Department, the CIA, the FBI, the Justice Department, and the Pentagon. In fact, evidently he has appointed some of those traitors himself.
Yes, no doubt as President he has to make nice to Muslims. But that doesn't mean stacking Pentagon intelligence with terrorists and putting them in charge.
England is not a terrorist, but evidently he's too stupid to know the difference between a Muslim terrorist in a sensitive position and a top analyst of Muslim terrorism.
He clearly must go. NOW.

'nuff said!
I believe the Commander-in-Chief is where the buck stops on this.
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." -Sun Tzu
What I cannot believe is how many more posts the Britany Spears fiasco is getting than this. If we as Americans do not wake up, and soon, we are going to lose the WOT.
my thoughts on Islam can be summed up by this t-shirt: http://www.cafepress.com/lcvending/4442573
“Yes, no doubt as President he has to make nice to Muslims.”
Why? I am no Muslim, and he never made nice to me. And by the way, not one of my family members or friends had anything to do with bringing down the WTC building.
Why in hell does he wear an American flag pin on his coat lapel?
You know, I wonder if this or the Geertz article on which it is based doesn’t belong in Breaking News?
This is a VERY important story, important to our national security, but it will be totally ignored by the MSM and few people will see it. The more that can be done to get it out there, the better.
He's wearing bureaucrat BDUs. That's part of the camo pattern.
EXACTLY!
If the President did not want this kind of pandering going on it would not exist and
muslim enablers would not be holding powerful and influential jobs within the administration.
He has APPARATCHIK tattooed on top of his head.
Meanwhile our soldies die in Iraq and in Afghanistan.
SHAME!
I have scoured the web for a photo of Hasham Islam, who is paid with our tax dollars. I could find none.
We need to find a photo of Hasham Islam and publish it all over the web.
England will be soon visiting CAIR and other groups, one under indictment trial in Texas, all financed by the International Islamic Brotherhood, a terrorist organization.
Wish Donald Rumsfeld still occupied the office.
Coughlins firing is REALLY bad news.

Stephen Coughlin is the Islam Law ‘go to guy’ on the Pentagon Joint Staff. Coughlin is the author of a brief on Islamic law and Jihadist doctrine that has recently been cleared by both the Joint Staff and DIA for publication. I have copies of Coughlin’s documents and they are both informative and clearly delineate the canon of Poltical Islam that drives and compels Jihad among Muslim adherents. In today’s Washington Times “Inside the Ring” column of Bill Gertz, there is disclosure of an alleged effort by an aide to Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon R. England, Hasham Islam, to have Coughlin ‘ease up’ on his criticism of Islam. Why? Because Hasham Islam, is endeavoring to protect an effort by his boss, Deputy Secretary England, to reach out to the American Muslim community. This includes a meeting in Apri, 2007 with an unindicted co-conspirator cited in the recent Federal Dallas Holy Land Foundation trial, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Coughlin’s brief and paper are based on public citations, including the Koran, Hadiths, and legal rulings and are cast in a presentation on Political Islam and what drives the Jihadis. Some senior Joint staff officers privately agree that Coughlin’s briefings make sense. Unit commanders from the battalion through brigade levels with experience in both Iraq and Afghanistan who have read or heard Coughlin’s presentations agree with his conclusions. Apparently, Deputy Defense Secretary England hasn’t had the opportunity to review Coughlin’s brief. But then he has Hasham Islam running interference- a bit of irony, that. Because Coughlin has gone out of his way to raise concerns about England’s meeting earlier this year with officials of the ISNA, a Muslim Brotherhood front group in the US, Hasham Islam is out to some how get Coughlin by fair means or foul.
That means that the Islamists are inside the Pentagon. But then Hasham Islam has a privileged perch in the executive or E-ring inside England’s office.
In January, 2007, Deputy Secretary England was at the Herzliya Conference in Israel, where he received the Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson Distinguished Service Award from the The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA). In his acceptance speech entitled, ‘Freedom is Never More Than One Generation Away From Extinction’, England drew attention at one point to his outreach to the American Muslim community. He noted:
"It’s also not a question of religion or nationality. I’ve spent some time reaching out to Muslim-American communities, who are woven in an absolutely integral way into the diverse fabric of American life. It turns out that Muslim-Americans - who come from many different national backgrounds and sects - are, on the whole, more successful economically than the average U.S. population."
This matter of possible infiltration of Islamists inside the No. 2 Defense position raises some concern about the obsessive politically correct DoD. Let us ask ourselves a question. Does the Deputy Secretary have outreach officers on his staff to Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Confucians, Hindus, B’Hai, Zoroastrians, Wiccans and garden variety atheists? Assuming the answer is no, then clearly he is bending over backwards to address complaints from Muslim Brotherhood front groups. Pity. He just might have to give back that Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson award that JINSA gave him in Israel.

When the Commander in Chief thinks Islam is a religion of peace and you espouse an opposing opinion, it is not surprising you get sacked. - tom
