A Government-Funded Defense Think Tank’s Ties to Terror

Considering IDA’s influential position with the Department of Defense and the intelligence community, and the sensitive nature of the work it undertakes for the federal government, it is distressing that this federally-funded “think tank” has established a strategic partnership with four different Islamic organizations that have been identified by federal prosecutors as tied to the international terrorist network.

IDA has partnered with these groups as part of American Muslims for Constructive Engagement (AMCE), an alliance of six different organizations:

International Institute for Islamic Thought (IIIT)

Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)

Muslim American Society (MAS)

Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

International Council of Religion and Democracy (ICRD)

Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA)

Three of these groups — IIIT, ISNA and CAIR — were listed by the Department of Justice as unindicted co-conspirators last May in the Holy Land Foundation terror financing trial....

Apparently the government is schizophrenic when it comes to a clear understanding of who our enemy is in the war on terror and how it operates in America.

At some point someone has to take charge of this war and address that fundamental question first otherwise we have a lot of tires spinning in the mud going nowhere while our domestic security is compromised and even our government war activities infiltrated by the very same threat.

Good for Congressman, Ellison, but he's blaming the wrong people for his dilemma...

He needs to be reminded WHO(M) CAUSED Americans to feel the way they do about his "faith of peace?" Who showed us the dark side of his religion, and who did NOTHING to denounce it?

His religion has at best been hijacked and at worst is little-by-little infiltrating our fine country with its dark side, and WE DON'T LIKE IT.

There are all sorts of ACLU concessions being given to every other religion (especially Muslim) EXCEPT Christianity.

Hopefully this is simply a case of “know thine enemy” and “keep your friends close and your enemies closer”.

Islam hasn't been hijacked by terror. The true jihad members are just following the commandments of it's one and only prophet, Mohammad. He made it _clear_ that non-believers may have their choice to: 1) convert 2) accept sharia law, or 3) get beheaded. It really is that simple.

The [KQ]or[au][nm] makes it quite clear that lying and raping infidels is totally okay.

Until USA figures this simple fact out we will continue the decent...duh
