Islamist 'Trojan horse' in Pentagon, say experts
World Net Daily ^ | 02/01/2008 | WND

Posted on 02/01/2008 7:19:35 PM PST by RTO

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.

One wise commenter said not long ago, re: Nada Nidim Prouty:

Memo to all readers and lurkers from other non-Muslim-majority countries, such as, for instance, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, European countries, India. Especially if you happen to be a government employee - above all, the police force, defence force, intelligence services, ANY part of the civil service, public utilities, health department, communications, transport, education. Or if you have close friends, fellow-parishioners or relatives who work in those areas.

READ THIS ARTICLE that Robert has posted for us. Print out, or email, multiple copies. Translate it, if you have to, into - for example - Hindi. Make sure that every one of your non-Muslim colleagues and any and every superior who is a non-Muslim, gets a copy. Give it to your head of department. Give it to your principal, give it to your Human Resources person. Give it to your government-employee spouse, friend, relative, fellow-worshipper.

The terrible truth is this: unless proven otherwise, every Muslim within the non-Muslim world must, from a purely practical and prudential point of view, be assumed to be an actual or potential fifth-columnist. And they CANNOT be allowed into any position that they could use to destroy us. Awful, isn’t it? But I don’t see any way around it.

I suspect that the reason Muslims in general fear non-Muslims, in Muslim countries - why they do not allow dhimmis into positions of authority, etc - is that they fear from non-Muslims what they KNOW they themselves are programmed to do, eager to do, were the positions reversed.

As an Australian, it gives me the shivers to wonder how many Nada Proutys have burrowed their way into OUR public service, OUR intelligence service, police and defence force, Centrelink [welfare agency] and the rest, our hospitals, our universities, our education departments, you name it...and are busy practising malice and fraud of every kind.

This issue has been 'out there'. . .bobbing on waves; in then out of sight and going nowhere. WND has brought it up again; and I hope more outlets will do the same. Truth is; while we can galvanize many around a 'cause celeb'; marshalling a real offensive in situations such as this; simply seems not to happen.

Sad times and our PC dumb and numb. . .are just that.

America as late, great and 'too late smart' inches closer. . .

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.

"Musselmen" was one of the names that I always thought odd...

Made me think of this...

Sorry, there will be no shining wizard upon a white stallion in this version of The Two Towers. Gandalf does not ride to the rescue in this epic. Mordor is not vanquished ...

If one reads the books instead of watch the movies, he finds that while Frodo was off on his epic quest with the Fellowship, the world didn't stop and the problems weren't all solved.

Instead of the kissy-fest ending of the movie Return of the King, we find that while Frodo was gone, things were going awry back home in the Shire. Of course, Hollywood had to take out that important point so Frodo and Sam could swap some spit (or at least seem like they wanted to).

Remember:

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty . . ." --Wendell Phillips (1852)

Or if you prefer...

"The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance . . ." --John Philpot Curran (1790)

"There is no contradiction between the peaceful religion of Islam and America's values and principles."

Yeah, Right... and I want Hillary for president.


I suppose you're also against US Marine Col. Douglas Burpee...?

And I guess laying down one's life while wearing an American uniform in Iraq isn't part of "American's values and principles," eh?
CPT Humayun Saqib Muazzam Khan, SSG Ayman Abdelrahman Taha, or MAJ James Michael Ahearn...






Oops...I forgot...I thought this was a conservative forum, where we judge based on ACTIONS, not knee-jerks against beliefs. If the guy is being a Trojan Horse, then that's the problem. If he's acting as an Islamist agent, then that's the problem.



And RTO, you're right that the demonization of Ron Paul is part of the bigger problem--that we weaken ourselves and our own safeguards against infiltration. Principles have been thrown out the window in the name of "Patriotism," as we slit our own throats.

Islam is a political cult aimed at installing a semi-hereditary, semi-tribal Arab government and its oppressive legal system in every free country in the world. Use of the word “God (Allah)” is simply a cover.

That is how I always refer to them and will continue to do so.

I hear it drives mohammedans, (lower case m) absolutely batty...

Mohammed spread the word of Allah, like Paul spread the word of Jesus. I see that some folks on FR use similar terminology to refer to Christians.








Surely, you've heard the term "Paultards" on here... ;-)

The Mullah leaders in Iran mostly attended the subversive Lumumba University in the Soviet Union and were trained by the Soviets in the various aspects of ruling by deception and terror.

Many of us have been doing so for years but who in the West is listening? Our “religion” (Freedoms & Political Correctness) has put ear plugs in our ears and lobotimized our ability to respond to the danger of the Islamic cancer growing ever more rapidly in our Western culture bodies.

While in the name of our “religion” (as above) we refuse “medication” let alone the absolutely indispensable “surgery” to survive the cancerous ravages of the Islamic Jihad cancer.

The problem is the gutless, politically correct, mentality that’s permeated our society, including the objectivity that should exist in our decision making agencies.
It’s time for Mr. England to leave!

The word “Allah” predates Islam by about 3,000 years (do a search of “Allah” on http://www.antimullah.com and read a very in-depth article that was also translated into Farsi (Persian) about the origins.

Simplistically, Allah was the name of an idol (the biggest wooden one) in Medina and after destroying the rest, Mohammad adopted this one (the most popular in the region) and told everyone to worship Allah.

No “God” here unless you are an idolater.

Better handle on Islam as a religion?
