The Danger Within: Militant Islam in America

Commentary Magazine ^ | November 2001 | Daniel Pipes

[ZeitgeistSurfer]

In the aftermath of the violence on September 11, American politicians from George W. Bush on down have tripped over themselves to affirm that the vast majority of Muslims living in the United States are just ordinary people. Here is how the President put it during a visit to a mosque on September 17: "America counts millions of Muslims among our citizens, and Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country. Muslims are doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms and dads." Two days later, he added that "there are millions of good Americans who practice the Muslim faith who love their country as much as I love the country, who salute the flag as strongly as I salute the flag."

These soothing words, echoed and amplified by many columnists and editorial writers, were obviously appropriate at a moment of high national tension and amid reports of mounting bias against Muslims living in the United States. And it is certainly true that the number of militant Islamic operatives with plans to carry out terrorist attacks on the United States is statistically tiny. But the situation is more complex than the President would have it.

Guess who is one of the most hated men by the Muslims in the US? The truth hurts.

The San Francisco Chronicle had an article about a Muslim political meeting. They made it out to be of the same type as any other ethnic pressure group, for example La Raza. But we know now the hidden agenda of these groups. The SF Chronical article even mentioned a speaker at the event talking about a Muslim President being in office in 2020. The Chronicle made it seem this is the same as Irish-Catholics supporting JFK in 1960. If the Chronicle did some homework they would know this hoped for Muslim President is a whole different animal.

This is scary.

Siddiqi sees Islamists in power in Washington before 2020. For Wahaj, implementation of the shari'a in the United States "appears to be approaching fast," and in contemplating what that means his language grows ecstatic:

I have a vision in America, Muslims owning property all over, Muslim businesses, factories, halal meat, supermarkets, all these buildings owned by Muslims. Can you see the vision, can you see the Newark International Airport and a John Kennedy Airport and LaGuardia having Muslim fleets of planes, Muslim pilots. Can you see our trucks rolling down the highways, Muslim names. Can you imagine walking down the streets of Teaneck, [New Jersey]: three Muslim high schools, five Muslim junior-high schools, fifteen public schools. Can you see the vision, can you see young women walking down the street of Newark, New Jersey, with long flowing hijab and long dresses. Can you see the vision of an area of no crime, controlled by the Muslims?

Locks the doors. Keep them out. It's a cultist "religion" that is anti-freedom. They even define how their followers wipe their a$$!

They made a big mistake on 9/11. Before we did not pay attention, we did not see them. Now we do.

We must stop immigration from Muslim countries and export those here on visas.

So when the islamist college professor makes a statement about how islam doesn't seek to rule America, he is like Arafat, saying one thing to the English speaking press, and another to his arab-muslim-terrorist constituents.

The arab word "taqiyah" is religious justification for lying, which it is becoming more clear is the national pastime of every one of these places. No baseball, no soap operas, no elections, no auto plants, or computer makers. Just millions of LIERS.

In Kabbani's reliable estimation, such "extremists" have "taken over 80 percent of the mosques" in the United States. And not just the mosques: schools, youth groups, community centers, political organizations, professional associations, and commercial enterprises also tend to share a militant outlook, hostile to the prevailing order in the United States and advocating its replacement with an Islamic one.

Stop importing 'em. Now.

Its the Saudis who finance the mosques, youth centers, etc in the United States. As a condition for the money, these places are required to follow the Wahibab extermenist line including converting the US to Islam.
