Islamist 'Trojan horse' in Pentagon, say experts

Federal authorities say a high-level Muslim Pentagon aide, who led a campaign to silence a Pentagon intelligence analyst for taking a hard line against Islam, is running an "influence operation" on behalf of U.S. Muslim groups fronting for the radical Muslim Brotherhood.

Hesham H. Islam, a special assistant to deputy Defense secretary Gordon England, recently criticized Maj. Stephen Coughlin, one of the military's leading authorities on Islamic war doctrine, for making the connection between the religion of Islam and terrorism.

After Islam lodged complaints, Coughlin's contract with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon was not renewed.

Islam also was upset with briefings Coughlin recently prepared for the U.S. military warning that major U.S. Muslim groups were fronting for the Muslim Brotherhood, a worldwide jihadist movement based in Egypt.

Islam, who was born and raised in Egypt, is heavily involved with one of the groups – the Islamic Society of North America, which U.S. prosecutors last year named as a member of the U.S. branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and an unindicted co-conspirator in a major terror-funding case.

Islam has persuaded his boss, England, to conduct various outreach with ISNA, including hosting the group's leaders in the Pentagon and speaking at its annual convention.

“Islam is like Communism, it is not a religion. We should stop calling it a religion.”

Until fairly recently Islam was generally called by an “ism” - Mohammadenism, which is the official nomenclature used by the British for a long, long time.

LOL...I knew what you meant. England and this Islam guy should be fired.

The contractor reinstated. He is a terror expert and by all indications an excellent one.

Hey, I'm one that thinks Huma should be gone,too.

But what do I know.

It flowed both ways, we got lead. No more lead for stealth.

There’s not much question that Hesham Islam is an Islamist agent. There have been a number of articles and blogs on this sorry business, beginning with an article that broke the story in the Washington Times.

There’s also not much doubt that Gordon England is a jerk, who should be fired.

The only question I have with this article is whether anyone in this administration is actually doing anything about this dangerous infiltration of Islamists into the Pentagon. I doubt that Hesham Islam is the only one.

An anonymous FBI agent is cited, but who knows what that means? There’s nothing here to indicate that the FBI actually plans to DO anything about this. The MSM has ignored the story, and the Pentagon has not even been asked to comment on it, with the sole exception of a powerful article by Claudia Rosett, the reporter who broke the Food for Oil Scandal in the Wall Street Journal. This time she is writing for the National Review.

There’s absolutely no question that Claudia Rosett is a great and reliable investigative reporter. Her story was posted in the forum earlier, but hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. It can be found here:

No, it is not “News” per se, but the memory of the Islamic convert in that Airborne Division (101st?) who rolled a hand grenade into the command tent and tried to machine gun down the survivors tends to stick around a bit.

There is no terrorist threat - JOHN KERRY. And who says we shouldn’t profile???

Can’t imagine electing a muslim for the Presidency. OH WAIT....we just might.

This country is on a fast ride to hell. Film at 11.

Diversity is the new God that must be worshipped.
But only by white people in the historically white nations of the world. These nations are scheduled to be diversified out of existence.

[BARLF]

I was referring to WND. They were late by days if not weeks on this issue.

Some here was sort of in doubt the story was true.

Sorry if I did not make myself clear with my post.

I do remember the Islamic convert who rolled a hand grenade into the command tent.

mohammadanism is like slime-mould, no sooner have you wiped it off the walls, it creeps back through the cracks in the floor...

OBAMA->ODINGA->alQAIDA

FYI, all!

Here are good links regarding the Stephen Coughlin firing. Some posts by fellow FReepers are excellent.

The great Catholic historian Hilaire Belloc also used the same description.

Reminds me of the communist infiltration into the FDR and Truman Administrations... Both presidents were aware of the infiltration, but did nothing. Senator McCarthy was the sole voice crying in the wilderness, and the lefties had a field day with him... until recently, when the utter fraud perpetrated by the left was irrefutably exposed, and McCarthy exonerated.

Here is the link to the interview you are seeking. It is buried in the post.

I have read this before in other sources. Now all we need is Obama for President and we are all sewed up..I believe Obama’s cousin is Odinga of Kenya...

This would not be the first time a military man has been shut up by other powers that be...the idea that this muslim can carry such wt and that England is so compliant is sickening.
