Pentagon and Islam

"During the Cold War, we at least had the brains to recognize Soviet front groups and didn't invite them to the Pentagon for vodka and caviar," one defense official said. "Now, the Islamic militant front groups are [the Department of Defense's] guests of honor."

Pentagon and Islam
by Bill Gertz

Defense officials involved in waging the global war against Islamist extremism are increasingly frustrated by the apparent failure of senior military and civilian officials to distinguish between the good guys and the bad guys. Continued...

Congress shall make no law...

"So, here's the plan: Come January 2009, if Hillary Clinton is in the White House and Harry Reid is still running the Senate and Nancy Pelosi is still cleaning the House, they are going to pass a law bringing back the so-called "Fairness Doctrine." 





Our fragile First Amendment
by Joseph Farah
 

I've resisted the strong temptation to stick up for my friend and colleague Rush Limbaugh as he is attacked by Democratic members of Congress.

Rush is a big boy. He's got plenty of clout and a large megaphone. He can take care of himself.

In fact, from my vantage point, he is making monkeys of Harry Reid and the Senate 41 who signed their names to a letter designed to intimidate Clear Channel, the network that carries the largest talk show in America.

But writing about this controversy I am. It's not Rush who needs defending. It's the First Amendment. Continued...

We are the last men - thus spake Nietzsche

"Insanity in individuals is something rare -
but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule".


Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)

HITTING THE WALL
by J. R. Nyquist

The crisis deepens. Red flags and warning indicators are appearing, one after another – in the financial markets, in the skies over the Arctic, in a broken White House with its broken strategy, in a shopping mall regime where the operative rhyming slogan is “shop until you drop,” and the rhyming subtext follows: “the sheep are asleep.” All cultures are corrupt and dishonest to some extent. But here, at the pinnacle of civilization, with unprecedented technology and access to knowledge, the intellectual level is declining. Elevation of mind is absent. To succeed a civilization requires certain minimum levels of courage and truthfulness – from individuals as well as nations. And today, sadly, in Europe or Asia, Latin America or Africa, the continents of man are sinking into a Great Dark Ocean of confusion. We are degenerates – part of a degenerated race of beings who’ve lost something vital within ourselves. We are the “last men” that Friedrich Nietzsche lamented in Thus Spake Zarathustra. “Alas,” wrote Nietzsche, “there cometh the time when man will no longer launch the arrow of his longing beyond man – and the string of his bow will have unlearned to whiz!” Continued...

Our future is the United States of Islam?

Religion Marginalized
Asking the questions.
By William F. Buckley Jr.

Pity John McCain, for whom everything has gone sour in the past period, taking him from lead candidate for the Republican nomination to the cellar. Some years ago, after hearing what John McCain withstood in North Vietnam, I pledged never to write a negative word about him, and over the years it has required very few beads of charity to stand by him. His latest difficulty started out sounding worthy of another medal of honor, to wear alongside the one he earned through the efforts of the North Vietnamese torturers. Continued...

Islamic jihad and Imam Husham Al-Husainy

Calling American Muslims for jihad

"Moral relativism is the position that disregards universal moral truths, but instead make claims relative to social, cultural, religious, historical, or personal situations."
  

Definitions of “right” and “wrong” have been increasingly blurred by moral relativism which has become the guiding force behind “progressive” liberal thought since the 1960s.

Moral relativism at a time of battle with Terror
by Ben Imas

"Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean told American Muslims gathered in Rosemont to think beyond voter registration drives. "You need to run for political office," Dean said Saturday. "The only way you can achieve your goals is to stand up and say who you are and be proud of it." Those in the packed house rose to their feet and applauded". (Read more... )

I do not think Howard Dean clearly realized why he was so much appreciated by the Muslims in Rosemont.  The Democratic National Committee Chairman was actually inciting American Muslims for jihad in the United States. The Muslim audience took his message for the face value, and responded accordingly! Howard Dean seems never learned that any political activity for furthering the cause of Islam is called “jihad by hand“. Continued...

Could Hamas Target the West?

"The Holy Land Foundation case has refocused attention on the presence and activities of Hamas in the United States. That activity has focused on raising funds and engaging in propaganda activities, but are there any conditions under which Hamas could target Western interests? To be sure, Americans and citizens of many other countries have died in Hamas's indiscriminate suicide bombings. But what calculus might lead Hamas as a group, semi-independent Hamas cells, rogue Hamas cells, or Hamas operatives acting as "lone wolves" to actively target Western interests?" - Matthew Levitt

Could Hamas Target the West?
By Matthew Levitt


Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yasin

On 22 March 2004, Israeli security forces assassinated Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yasin. His deputy and successor, Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi, issued a statement implying that Hamas would avenge Yasin's death with attacks on Israel -- and on the United States. "The war against Islam is the same war which is launched in Iraq," Rantissi proclaimed. "In Palestine also, there is a war against Islam. So, the Islamic nation should wake up and shake the land under the feet of those Zionists and the Americans who back them." Although Rantissi withdrew the threat the next day, the State Department immediately issued a travel advisory warning Americans of possible terrorist threats. The advisory warned: "In the aftermath of the killing of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, a Hamas spokesman has threatened revenge against Israel and U.S. interests . . . all U.S. citizens [are urged] to depart Gaza as early as it is safe to do so. . . ." Continued...

World expansion of the Ideology of Islamic jihad

Islam, the Marxism of Our Time 
By Theodore Dalrymple

From an Islamist point of view, the news from Europe looks good. The Times of London, relying on a police report, recently observed that the Deobandis, a fundamentalist sect, now run nearly half of the 1,350 mosques in Britain and train the vast majority of the Muslim clerics who get their training in the country. The man who might become the sect’s spiritual leader in Britain, Riyadh ul Haq, believes that friendship with a Christian or a Jew makes “a mockery of Allah’s religion.” At least no one could accuse him of a shallow multiculturalism. Continued...

Wartime Aiding the Enemy


"This goes back to the fundamental unresolved questions in the minds of a segment of the public as to: (a) is the USA at war or not, (b) if so, who is the enemy, (c) what is our war strategy against the enemy."

Why The New York Times Can Legally Help The Enemy
in The War on Terror
By Jeffrey Imm

In July 2007, the Washington Post gave a Hezbollah supporter full coverage of an online column on Jihadism, and in June 2007, both the New York Times and the Washington Post printed editorials by a Hamas figure.

This week, the New York Times has provided online columns on August 8 and August 9 dedicated to brainstorming new ideas on how Jihadists can attack and kill Americans. The New York Times author, Dr. Steven Levitt, a writer on economics, used his online August 8 column "If You Were a Terrorist, How Would You Attack?" to offer some new ideas to Jihadists on ways to murder Americans, and suggested some specific tactics that Jihadists can take to improve both the level of terror and effectiveness of such murders. Then Dr. Levitt invited the general public to offer their own suggestions on how Jihadists might be able to kill Americans, stating "I'm sure many readers have far better ideas. I would love to hear them." And disturbingly, many hundreds of readers obliged Dr. Levitt by offering horrific suggestions to help Jihadists. This was not yet enough for the New York Times, and so on August 9, Dr. Levitt wrote a second online column "Terrorism, Part II", where he defended his right to recommend murder ideas to terrorists, by explaining that there are a "virtually infinite" number of American vulnerabilities, and by claiming that the "terrorists are incompetent" or the "terrorism threat just isn't that great".

Not once in either column does Dr. Levitt ever use the word... "Jihad" or "Jihadists". In Dr. Levitt's view, the threat is only from incompetent criminals that he calls "terrorists", and that view of terrorists as mere "criminals" was echoed the same day by former NATO leader Wesley Clark in another New York Times column "Why Terrorists Aren't Soldiers"Continued...

Importance of Learning about Islam and Muslims

"The outcome of the "war on terror," I submit, will have less to do with breakthroughs in avionics or intelligence coups than with the degree to which civilized people understand the nature of their enemy and join together to fight it."
 

Professor Daniel Pipes

America's Crash Course on Islam
by Daniel Pipes

How goes the "war on terror"? One would think that the absence of a successful dramatic terrorist operation against Westerners since the London bombings in July 2005 would be heartening. But an atmosphere of gloom predominates. A recent much-publicized Foreign Policy magazine poll of 108 American specialists, myself included, found merely 6% who agreed that "The United States is winning the war on terror." A whopping 84% disagreed. Continued...

Are there too many mosques in America?


"O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust." Holy Quran, 5.51.

Endorsing "values" of Islamic jihadists

 

"Ideological Collaborator with Enemy is a category of Ethics and Esthetics."
Definition of Ideological Collaborator with Enemy


"Useful Art" of the Cold War anti-communist poster -
just change the word "Communism" for the word "Islamism"
_______________________________

Old-new "politically incorrect" vocabulary

Expressions "collaborator with enemy" and “ideological enemy” are not very common in a “politically correct” vocabulary currently used in the United States. Anyone pointing out at "collaborators with enemy" and/or  “ideological enemies” takes a great deal of risk to be accused in “neo-McCarthyism” and all other “deadly” “politically incorrect” sins. However, the Nation does have a true ideological opponent. It is Terrorism and associated with the Ideology of Terror - Islamic jihad. 

Everyone in America learns that according to the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States the Government cannot create or inhibit religion. The Government cannot ban most types of speech, restrict the press. The Government cannot stop people from gathering peacefully, or prohibit citizens from asking the Government for reform. These are “blessings of Liberty” every American enjoys.

In the contrast, the Ideology of Terror, and in particular the Ideology of the Islamic jihadists inhibits all religions, but own believes, whatever those believes are. Islamic jihadists categorically prohibit free speech, but expressions of own views, and totally restricts all free, but only permitted by them press. They forbid any gatherings of people, but those who support them.  

Needles to stress, that adepts  of the Ideology of Terror coming to Power, the way it happened in the former USSR in 1917 and in the Nazi Germany in 1934, establish regimes that cannot be reformed, whatsoever. These regimes can only be totally destroyed as the Nazi Germany, or collapse as the former USSR.

The United States happened to be the very last barrier on Islamic jihadists’ way to become the only existing World Power. In order to achieve their strategic goals, terrorists need to deteriorate the will of the Nation to fight Terrorism. For that very reason terrorists utilize a “smart” strategic weaponry - ideologically charged suicide bomber, intending to use conventional and non-conventional weapons aimed at the U.S. civilian population. (Read more...)

 
For the very same reason Islamic jihadists utilize the Ideology of Terror historically proven to be very effective Instrument of an oppression. They plan to provoke in minds of the U.S. population all sinister manifestations of Terror: fear, panic, anxiety, shock, fright, scare in order to conclusively brake the will of the Nation to withstand Terror, and finally achieve terrorist’s objectives of becoming the only existing Power in the World. 

It is erroneous to be ideologically “neutral” in the War on Terrorism without indirectly and/or directly endorsing wicked “values” of Islamic jihadists. Therefore, the U.S. civilian population must learn how to actively refuse to go along with the Ideology of Terror in any forms and shapes. It does require a strong National Character, and this is a historic Mission of the Nation. 

Terrorism, or rather Islamic jihad is an adamant ideological challenger of the free and sovereign Nation. Therefore, one of the main purposes for establishing U.S. Civilian Self-Defense (Read more...) is for the entire population of the United States to become prepared mentally and physically to resist Islamic jihad and above all to defy ominous ideological manifestations of Terror. (Read more...)  

There is no doubt that it is categorically wrong to be “open minded” by appeasing terrorists, regardless of their believes. All those who by any reason cry off to say “no” to the War on Terrorism, all those who obey the evil will of Islamic jihadists, all those who allow their minds to surrender to corrupt demands of Terror are de facto ideological collaborators with enemy and consequently, enemies of the Nation.

Why the Suicide Bomb Network Must be Dismantled
by Douglas Farah

There has been much written recently about the inability to halt young suicide bombers because of their willingness to die for their cause. It is one of the greatest difficulties facing forces on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But, as the Times of London points out in graphic detail, the bombers are the end product of network of radicalization that includes the religious teachings of respected imams around the world. Continued...

Ideological Awareness of the Nation in Battle


"Ideology is a paramount in practical wisdom and profundity of a society."



Ideological awareness - knowledge of Good and Evil
_________________________

Servants and Consumers of Ideology

Ideology is a corner stone of any recognizable Civilization. The original meaning of the word “ideology” is “the Science of ideas and ideals“. Ideology specifically identifies practical usage of ideas that originate from the Progress of human Ethics - principles of moral conduct, and Esthetics - perception of beauty and ugliness. Needless to stress that both, Ethics and Esthetics are literally shaping a civilized society. 

Men are ideological creatures. They either serve Ideology, or consume it. “Servants” of Ideology are usually philosophers, thinkers, economists, writers, poets, political and spiritual leaders of the Nation, and etc. “Servants” of Ideology also include art and literally scholars, creative artists in visual and Performing Arts, turning their works into ideologically charged “useful Arts“. 

There is nothing wrong or inferior to be a “consumer” of Ideology, and make practical use of ethically righteous ideas and ideals produced by great minds of the Mankind. There is a great privilege to be a connoisseur of ideologically charged “useful Arts” created by talented contemporary artists, as well as great artists of the past, conveying noble ideas and ideals of humanity in their works. 

It is true that one does not have to be a scientist in physics to use electricity, or an engineer to drive a car. The same is with Ideology. No one is required to be a philosopher, thinker, writer, or an artist to greatly enjoy and benefit from Ethics and Esthetics historically established and excepted by people as ideas and ideals of a society. However, there is no such thing as “natural instinct”, effortlessly bringing ideological awareness to everyone on a golden plate.

Ideology is a paramount in practical wisdom and profundity of a society. It goes without saying, that no one can read books before learning the alphabet, first. Who said that Ideology being the top cultural achievement, comes naturally for everyone without learning the “ABC” of Ethics - principles of moral conduct (or lack of it!), and Esthetics - perception (or lack of it!) of beauty and ugliness, governing and forming a complex modern society, then? 

Everybody knows that no cultural knowledge can be ever obtained without a hard, persistent work from men‘s part. There is no secret that it takes years and years to study and perfect foreign languages, or learn how to play musical instruments, for instance. Why don’t people realize that in many instances to obtain ideological awareness by an individual is even more difficult and slower process?

The “Science of ideas and ideals” is a totally cultural phenomena, and therefore, requires an enormous effort to be accepted, understood, and implemented in people’s every day life. There is no productive and healthy development of a society without a serious ideological exertion by many. Needles to mention that true and vivid ideological awareness of many becomes ideological awareness of entire Nation vital at a time of Peace and a must at a time of War. 

Historically, the American people are predominately “consumers” of the Ideology of the Supreme Law of the Land - the Constitution of the United States. However, even the greatest most powerful ideas and ideals of the Constitution taken for granted may grow to be flat, loose their touch with Reality, and sense of Destiny in minds of people, leading to the failure of the civilization to survive.

The ideas and ideals of the Constitution taken for granted by many people is one of the fundamental ideological problems that ought be addressed and dealt with. It is an extremely difficult, but imperative endeavor. For the People of the United States ideological awareness begins at a very moment of a striking recognition of a true meaning of own life, as much greater then just personal “persuade of happiness“, and therefore, a necessity of defining and reshaping own character according to this noble revelation. (Read more...)

Ideological awareness of the Nation is critical at the current “crisis of human affairs“ when Islamic jihadists waged a total war against the United States. Ideological struggle with Islamic jihadists intending to replace ideas and ideals of the Constitution of the United States with the Ideology of the Islamic Law, requires unprecedented ideological strength of and contribution from every American Citizen. Ideological awareness of the American people is a must condition in order to maintain the Will of the Nation to resist our irreconcilable Enemy.

The Global War on Terror is the time when the American people need to become ideologically aware of the Nation’s Historic Mission: practically “to form a more perfect Union“. This is the time of ideological transfiguration passive “consumers” into active National Characters pledging own lives and own fortune in responsibility to “preserve, protect and defend“ the most precious ideas and ideals of the Constitution of the United States. (Read more...)

Both, “servants” and “consumers” of Ideology are equally invaluable for the ideologically mature Nation at a time of battle with Terror. It is absolutely wrong and potentially dangerous to disregard neither of them on the Historic Stage. Total ideological awareness of the Nation is the only way to prevent the practical “Science of ideas and ideals” from turning into a dry compilation of rigid dogmas and generalizations lacking necessary creativity for the vital Progress of human Ethics and Esthetics.
