Analyst's note:  Politicial correctness is certainly contributing to what is being reported here.  We are now concerned about jihadis recruits who go abroad could return to the United States to carry out attacks.  We must also concern ourselves with those who radicalize and never leave our shores.

"[....] “Our long-held belief that homegrown terrorism couldn’t happen here has thus created a situation where we are today stumbling blindly through the legal, operational, and organizational minefield of countering terrorist radicalization and recruitment occurring in the United States,’’ the report said.

[....] But the United States, the group said, should have learned earlier from Britain’s experience. Prior to the 2005 London suicide bombings, the British believed that Muslims there were better integrated, educated, and wealthier than their counterparts elsewhere.

[....] The report also points to an “Americanization’’ of the leadership of Al Qaeda and its allied groups, noting that radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who encouraged Fort Hood shooting suspect Nidal Malik Hasan and others, grew up in New Mexico. Assessing future threats, the report lists potential future domestic targets, including passenger jets, western or American hotel chains, Jewish or Israeli sites, and US soldiers, even at their own bases in America. [....]

[....] The terrorists, said the report, may have discovered America’s “Achilles Heel in that we currently have no strategy to counter the type of threat posed by homegrown terrorists and other radicalized recruits.’’

The sad news about this article is that is is true.  Understanding the enemy of the global Islamist jihad and our responses to them is like a set of glasses that permits one to see.  These are facts that the left -- today's "progressives" don't want to have published. 

Whether we want to hear it or not, this long-war against the Islamist has really only just begun.  Our ability (think national economy) and willingness to defend oneself remains critical in a war against thugs on the street as well as in the world in which we live.  Here is but a summary -- you will want to click on the title above for the rest of the story.

Higher education has clearly failed America in order to receive and protect their sources of foreign funding, according to Dr. Walid Phares.  As a result, over many years the U.S. has produced a large group of academia, diplomats and journalist as well as some of our senior military who have been so "educated" who are unknowingly "preaching" for the jihadist enemy. 

It also helps to put this discussion into perspective to understand that according to Dr. Walid Phares, 90% of American Middle Eastern studies programs - from which our nation has been receiving much of our information on the jihadist enemy - is run by Wahabist out of Saudi Arabia.  So we have graduates from a department of history who are not taught the true evolution of the jihadist and their movements or their globalist Islamist goals.  As a result, these same "educated" people have been writing and discussing such Islamist terrorists as "insurgents" or members of some kind of "rebel movement."  We have been too long under the huge power whelded by pro-jihadist lobbies in the U.S. and Europe who work to numb the instincts of our citizens as to these global Islamist jihadi terrorist.  We have failed to understand their true origin and goals of world domination.

According to Dr. Phares, we are confusing our enemies with our strategic message.  It is little wonder when our gov't and standard media work so hard to not even identify those who still constitute a threat to our United States.  I agree that "... a reminder of American strategic priorities must be communicated in Arabic to the region’s audiences [...]" we win and you lose.  We are in a street fight, and weakness is considered "poor form."  One central, clear, coordinated message is always good.  That way the troops know what is required of them even when they lose communications.   It might also be a good idea to stop the "apology tours," and for heaven's sake stop bowing to every leader.  Sometimes it still scares our troops and allies when they see and "officer running toward the rear" ... or showing his rear. The following is taken from an article again found on this site:  "U.S. National Security Is Targeted by al Qaeda and Iran's Strategic Threats," written by Dr. Walid Phares and published on Family Security Matters.

[...] the two main (and active) threats against U.S. national security in the post Cold War era are, and continue to be, the Salafi-Jihadi global networks including al Qaeda and a plethora of webs and organizations all marching in the same direction on the one hand; and on the other hand what I coin as the “Iranian-led axis” which incorporates the Tehran Khomeinist regime, Hezbollah, the radical pro-Iranians in Iraq and in other Arab countries and the Syrian regime’s Mukhabarat.

[...] when U.S.-based researchers and commentators have an opportunity to help Arab audiences understand what the fundamental threats are that determines U.S. perception, they must engage in educating Arab readers and viewers.

Please consider here is a useful quote from the Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran to understand that the concept of jihad goes well beyond the "Palestine Islamic Jihad:"

"Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled or incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of [other] countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. . . . But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. . . . Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender [to the enemy]? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Qur'anic] psalms and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim."

It is important to note that this notorious and important quotation comes from Amir Taheri's book, Holy Terror: Inside the World of Islamic Terrorism, Adler & Adler, 1987, pp. 241-3.

I can not recommend strong enough that American citizens must Dr. Walid Phares' book, "Future Jihad:  Terrorist Strategies Against the West."  It exposes the true nature of the jihad's mind.  Dr, Phares, raises important issues that must be considered for effective counterterrorism strategies.  Through this book, he participates in the necessary global effort to educate the West about past mistakes in judgment that let to the terrorist advances.  More importantly, he conveys to the reader the urgent message that "From what we now know regarding what happened and from what we know could have happened, comes a terrifying picture of what could happen around the world if the appropriate policies and measure are not taken."

Our federal government who will not permit the proper and full use of the term "jihad" as used by our enemy is lead by one who has changed his name to Barack Hussain Obama, from we really don't know where, who now serves as President of the United States with an Egyptian female Muslim advisor (Dalia Mogahed) who is endorsing "[...]"  the Gülen movement which seeks to restore the Ottoman Empire and to establish a universal caliphate." and who defends "[...] the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Both of these US groups are tied to the Muslim Brotherhood."  Remember that Turkey was once the home of the Ottoman Empire.

 

[...] Fethullah Gülen has been called the “most dangerous Islamist” in the world. He has amassed a fortune - - thanks, in part, to the CIA - - of $25 billion. This money has been used to transform the secular government of Turkey into an Islamic Republic under the Justice and Democratic Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma, AKP)- - a party under the Gülen’s control."

The caliphate, if reestablished, could become a sort of superstate that is placed above the sovereignties of all Arab or Muslim governments.  Islamist, who believe in "civilizational" lineage, see the U.S. as a simple extension of the old continent despite our founding fathers' work to separate from Europe.  Under a caliphate, and a strict Islamist interpretation, no group of infidels (that would include Israel and the U.S.) have the right to a separate political existence.

The Muslim Brotherhood (a form of radical Salafism) is likely the most sophisticated web of global Islamic jihadism.  A man whom we all know as Osama bin Laden is a member of this organization.  Some of the most infamous of the Brotherhood offshoots are Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Palestine, Gamaat Islamiha and Islamic Jihad in Egypt, and south Asia's Jamaat Islami and Abu Sayyaf. 

"To the Islamist,  every land ever conquered - or opened - during the fatah under a legitimate Islamic authority cannot revert back to the Infidels [...] The Muslim Brotherhood invented 'political jihad' which means using democracy to come to power so that one can destroy democracy."  (both concepts from Dr. Walid Phares, in his book called "Future Jihad).

Someone please explain to me how all that I've just observed and reported is a simple coincidence?

You absolutely must hear our radio broadcast to help you connect-the-dots regarding critical issues on our national security.  Listen to this Dialog: East Coast - West Coast broadcast

from 6/2/2010 on Mainstream Moderate Muslims Vs Global Islamist Jihadist and other critical issues arranged to present a number of the best discussions now available regarding Mainstream "Moderate Muslims Vs Radical Islamist Jihad."  Learn what drives each and how to quickly tell the dlifference.  Your life may well depend on it.  Listen to how the radicalization process occurs from those who have been there. 

This information is currently NOT being discussed in most critical federal gov't circles or made available to you via the "mainstream" media.  Listen and learn why. Also click here to listen to Dialog: East Coast – West Coast – “Understanding the Jihadist” and "Hidden Facts on Stunning Federal Debt" this information will also significantly impact our national defense posture.

Tell your friends, as this information is needed by all American citizens, if we are to insist on and do what is required to save this nation from our current insidious enemy.  I am talking about those who support the global Islamist jihad -- an enemy who is working every day, in many cases from within our borders, to destroy this nation.  Following  this broadcast, I also strongly recommend that you do an internal search on this CSIA Report on the term "Sharia" to learn more about how this enemy operates and why.  We have over 7,000 news items in our database from viable resources, most of which you will not have seen or heard.

These radio broadcast and readings are timely, relevant, and provides critical insight and analysis by such luminaries as Dr. Walid Phares, Dr. Tawfik Hamid, and Dr. Lloyd Case. 

The guests calmly and intellectually reveal the mindset of our enemies – in one case in the enemies own words - as well as how to identify them, and the necessary strategy to defeat them.  An “absolute must hear” broadcast for every American citizen. 

The interviews peel away layers of misunderstanding showing how jihadism has become a strategic threat to peace loving people worldwide.  It provides needed insight into the very enemy that attacked America on September 11 and still contributes to America’s unpreparedness in terms of our national security today.  This does much to expose the true nature of our jihadist enemy.
