MILLBRAE, Calif. (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder reiterated his resolve to prosecute hate crimes while standing behind the methods used in anti-terrorism cases during a speech Friday night before a Muslim advocacy group near San Francisco. [....]"

The Islamic Circle of America (ICNA) claims to be "moderate," but its handbook exposes its more hard core Islamist ambitions which is the downfall of the West. "The group wants "the united Muslim Ummah [community] in a united Islamic state, governed by an elected khalifah in accordance with the laws of shari'ah."  The hand book spells out its political goals which is "the Establishment of Islam" as the sole basis of a global society and governance. This is not good people.

Faithful readers here, will not be surprised to learn that these goals are inline with the stated purposes of the Muslim Brotherhood, Jamaat-e-Islami -- and other global Islamist jihadist.   Using different methods, they all work toward the same goal which will culminate in a restoration of the Caliphate.  They preach "social justice" and "charity" but in their Islamist centers and elsewhere they teach a totally different message.  Their teachings are not inaccordance with the values of this United States and our Declaration of Independance and U.S. Constitution.

From Andrew C. McCarthy in his book "THE GRAND JIHAD How Islam and the Left Sabotage America" we have also learned that:

"In Islam, the umma is all -- it cannot be divided, depleted, or watered down;  it wants a toe-hold, then an enclave, then the whole enchilada. [....] Islamism does not participate in politics; it uses politics. And when it does, we overlook at our peril that it is doctrinally and incorrigibly anti-democratic.  For Islamist, democracy is a tool for acquiring power, not a culture of governance [....] willingness to engage in politics -- whether in democratic or authoritarian societies -- is not a concession.  It is a jihad strategy, called siyash, and it is fully consistent with sabotage. [....] our "big thinkers" deduce that if the terrorists figure the [Muslim] Brothers are soft, they obviously must be moderates -- so we can work with them."

[....] We're tunnel-focused on terrorism, concerned only about forcible damage to life, limb, and property.  As long as we're told there will be no harm, he [the Islamist] rightly figures we'll assume he means no terrorism.  If terrorism is not in the equation, we go back to sleep -- amenable to all manner of accommodation, even to sowing the seeds of our own destruction at the behest of people who tell us, flat-out that their goal is conquest.  In our suicidal disposition, "democracy" somehow requires that of us."

Why do too many of our national leaders continue to listen to the same Salafist clerics who approve suicide terrorism and preach that it is a Muslim duty to kill our soldiers (our sons and daughters) and those who support them?  This Salifist message  includes killing the supporting civilian workers to our military as well as killing the American taxpayers and American voters.  It is time we all stop listening to the seductive prompting of the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR now embedded in our federal and state governments (in some cased, even our local law enforcement) and for three generations in many of our academic institutions. 

We must stand on our own without the "tsunami of oil-backed money" from the same Saudi regime that has long backed the operations of the Muslim Brotherhood here in America.  If we (from citizens to the DoS, DoD, DoJ, HLS, and Intelligence Community, etc.) were to watch more closely we would find that the Muslim Brotherhood organizations says one thing in English and frequently something totally different to the al-Jezeera audience. 

The Islamists do not really want "participatory democracy," but rather the ultimate purpose of their jihad (often implemented as a Trojan Horse) is to implement sharia law as a part of a global Islamic state. The Islamists teachings are provides guiding principles to our enemy now and always.

After much study and experience, I have come to understand that Islam means "submission," not "peace."  I personally have come to believe that ONLY the Muslims who (1) do not support sharia law, and (2) who fully and continually demonstrate their acceptance of American constitutional principles represent the Islam that is welcomed and encouraged here in America and the West. 

All other Muslims, I refer to as "Islamist."  The religion of the Islamist is wrapped around a political ideology that ultimately wants us either dead or in total submission; the Islamist are thus unwelcome here in America.  The ideology of the Islamist is totalitarianism and implements an authoritarian political system under sharia law.  The Islamist is focused at least as much on complete domination in this world as they are about salvation in the next.  

Again I share the words of Andrew C. McCarthy as he writes in his book "THE GRAND JIHAD How Islam and the Left Sabotage America"the following:

"Defending ourselves will require flushing out the Islamists: identifying them and imposing on them the burden of defending their totalitarian ideology against the positive case for liberty and human reason.  Doing so will undeniably burden true moderate Muslims as well:  Given the prevalence of anti-Constitutional beliefs in Islam, foreign Muslims should not be permitted to reside in America unless they can demonstrate their acceptance of American constitutional principles.  But those who satisfy this burden should be welcome, encouraged, and given the space necessary to seek reform."

Some major elements of our federal government have not yet recognized the very enemy from which they are obligated to protect us.  To make matters worse, they seem content to try every method to work with them.  Again from Andrew C. McCarthy on page 376 of his book "THE GRAND JIHAD How Islam and the Left Sabotage America" we find the following.

“[….] more details are emerging about the Homeland Security Department’s high-level pow-wows with tentacles of the Muslim Brotherhood.  DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, along with her top aides, personally held two days of intensive briefing in late January 2010 for, among others, ISNA, MPAC (the Muslim Public Affairs Council), and the Muslim American Society.  The concept, imported from the United Kingdom, is to treat these anti-Western Sharia organizations as allies and devise in collaboration with them, a “two-way information-sharing” framework.  As one exasperated former U.S. intelligence officer explained to Pajamas Media: 

The “counter-radicalization” program is something that the other side created for us ….. It initially started in Britain.  The Muslim Brotherhood groups suggested it.  We went over there and got it.  We thought it was a great idea and now we’re using it.  It’s the enemy giving us a way to destroy ourselves.” 

Just so.  If you didn’t know better, you’d think Islamist had developed “a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house.” 

Why, it’s almost as if they now has a government that was helping them do it.”
