Arab-Americans can help cause by exposing terrorist sympathizers

First things first: I abhor the unjustified anger diected at some of our Arab-American neighbors in the aftermath of Tuesday's terrorist attacks.

Such sentiments are unfair and unwarranted. Knowing that Arab-American friends have huddled in basements in fear of our rage leaves me heart-sick.

Talk is cheap!

I agree with Nolan Finley. If the Arab-Americans really want to show (not just talk about) their loyalty to America, they must immediately identify, locate and turn over to the authorities all terrorist sympathizers in their midst.

To do less is to show the world that their words of sympathy and allegiance are only lies.

Until they start turning these dogs over to the authorities the muslims will be considered enemies of the nation. As of this moment they are still on the wrong side.

I find it impossible to believe that none of these people knew this was coming. This attack was planned for a year or more. Some members of the Arab-American community knew and supported this attack by NOT informing authorities. Let them come forth and expose these terrorists.

I am afraid that Islam faces a stark choice... Lose the concept of "Jihad", or the world will find it necessary, in the interest of survival, to "lose" them...

Indeed. And Arab-Americans in BOSTON in particular could prove helpful.

I will expect the Muslim Americans to be as loyal as Jewish Americans, Christian Americans etc. Why should it be otherwise. Every group has its Traitors amongst us.

Great post! Spot on.

It is time for the loyal moslem arab Americans to state loudly their loyalty to the USA ABOVE ALL OTHERS, and to do more, to prove it in deeds.

We are now shifting from peacetime rules to wartime rules, and the battlefield is HERE. So please spare me everyone your bleatings about the poor arab moslems' civil liberties, this is WAR.

Many of them are not even citizens, but have merely snuck into our free and open society, and bear us only hatred. The fine and loyal arab moslems Americans must now help to ROOT THEM OUT.

Am I being unfair? I don't think so: this is now WAR on "Battlefield USA". We must fight to win.

Let me point out to any who have missed these facts:

/1/ Before the first WTC bombing, mosques and "cultural centers" in NYC were used as safehouses, agent meeting places, and dead drops. This is a fact, look it up. Prior to this state of war, our FBI was hamstrung by the ACLU and CAIR etc and were unable to properly monitor these nests of vipers in NYC, and we saw the (thank God it did not fully succeed) results. Now we are moving to WARTIME rules of engagement, and mosques and "cultural centers" must not be permitted to give unquestioned sanctuary to terrorists and their support agents. Good loyal patriotic arab moslem Americans can and must root them out swiftly. If they fail to do this, their loyalties must be suspected. Too bad, it's WAR.

/2/ After the 9-11 outrage, some, not many, arab moslem ILLEGAL ALIENS have been seen celebrating, several have been arrested by the FBI. Some were across the Hudson with video cameras on tripods, ready to record the evil deeds, then cheering when the buildings were struck. There was obviously advance notice among SOME arab moslems inside of the USA, none of them with advance knowledge tipped off the attack to the authorities.

It is now time for all good loyal patriotic arab moslem Americans to do their duty, and report their suspicions or knowledge to the FBI, so that they may begin investigating possible terrorists or terrorist support agents ASAP. If they fail to do this DUTY, then shame on them, and do not expect to win sympathy with crocodile tears later on.

CAIR - PLEASE NOW TELL US YOUR POSITION ON BIN LADEN!!!

What is the Council on American-Islamic Relations?

             CAIR is a particularly worrisome organization because it has succeeded in portraying
             itself as a public affairs organization promoting "interest and understanding among
             the general public with regards to Islam and Muslims in North America." In fact, this
             organization is radical to the core; it seeks nothing less than the imposition of
             Islamist mores on the United States.

             CAIR's record includes the following unpleasantries:

Apologizing for such killers as Hamas (a group associated with the murder of
                  7 Americans) and Usama bin Ladin (charged with the Tanzania and Kenya
                  embassy bombings a year ago).
                  Helping promote terrorism: In the words of Steve Pomerantz, a former Chief
                  of Counterterrorism for the FBI, "CAIR, its leaders, and its activities,
                  effectively give aid to international terrorist groups."
                  Intimidation of patriotic Muslims who disagree with CAIR's chauvinist agenda:
                  In one case (Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani), the FBI is looking into
                  charges that he received death threats after renouncing the chauvinists.
                  Permitting a potential unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade Center
                  bombing of 1993 to sit on its board.
                  Defense of even the most archaic and barbaric of customs associated with
                  Islam: When a prosecutor in Cleveland argued that the bail of two young
                  men being held for an "honor killing" of their female cousin should be
                  increased, CAIR replied by accusing him of "ethnic and religious stereotyping"
                  and called for a formal investigation into the prosecutor's actions.
                  Sponsorship of blatant antisemitism: At a May 1998 rally at Brooklyn College
                  co-sponsored by CAIR, one speaker referred to Jews as "descendants of the
                  apes."

             In short, CAIR represents not the great civilization of Islam but a radical utopian
             movement originating in the Middle East that seeks to impose its ways on the
             United States. Americans should consider themselves warned: a new danger exists
             in their midst.

             CAIR also has a history of vituperation and aggressiveness against anyone who
             opposes its Islamist vision for the United States. In my case, it has been sending
             out tirades since July 1999; these have landed everywhere from the op-ed page of
             the Minneapolis Star-Tribune to the hands of street picketers in Washington, D.C. and
             Cornell University.

             For more information on CAIR, see my article "How Dare You Defame Islam,"
             Commentary, November 1999, at http://www.danielpipes.org/articles/199911.shtml.
             Also see Steven Emerson's, Senate testimonies of February 1998 (at
             http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/6453/emerson.html) and January 2000 (at
             http://www.house.gov/judiciary/emer0125.htm).

I agree with Nolan Finlay. Any Arab or Muslim who does not agree to help with any information they have, should be considered a traitor fanatic and expelled.

Didn't Hillary get a campaign donation from some Arab group sympathetic to Arab terrorists? I seem to remember that it caused a small uproar and she ended up giving the money back (she says). Anyone remember this?

What if they don't know anything? How are you going to be able to tell?

We won't, until after more planes fall into buildings ets.

BUT, when we find out from others who are arrested or come forward with info just who had information and sat on it, they should be tried for treason in wartime and swiftly hung.

Share their fate? What do you mean by that? That sounds like a threat to me. Are you another one of those Israeli agents that wants to kill all Muslims. You belong in the cell next to Pollard.

Islamist Nazism must be exterminated root and branch by us just the British wiped out the Thugees in India. Any group that practices or praises mass murder and human sacrifice as a religious duty is an enemy of the human race and should be dealt with accordingly. And Muslim Americans have to not only repudiate any association with Islamist Nazis, they have to make it clear they accept our democracy and freedom as their guiding values. Any one who does not love and and protect this country should be removed and expelled from it. Our problem is not that we not protected American Muslims from undue unjustified discrimination and persecution, but that we have tolerated Islamist Nazism as a legitimate Islamic doctrine. We have to declare in no uncertain terms we will not countenance any one in this country who holds believes in such a doctrine or practicing it. Sanctuary in the USA should be finit for all who are its enemies and the enemies of the American people.

I agree wholeheartedly with this article but most Arabs in this country do not know anyone involved with this bombing.
