The Most Practical Thing You Can Do About Islam

Since we started Citizen Warrior, we've been trying to find things an ordinary citizen can DO that will actually help stop or reverse the Islamization of the free world. ACT! For America (AFA) is one of the best things we've found so far. They are organized and they are successfully defeating Islam's relentless encroachment in one of the most important places: In the political arena.

As it says in AFA's brochure, "ACT! for America is a nationwide organization of concerned Americans who want to be informed, who want to inform others, and who are uniting together to speak out against and resist the rising tide of Islamofascism — and the 'political correctness' that excuses it, rationalizes it, dismisses it, or blames America for it."

In a series of messages from the founder of AFA, Brigitte Gabriel, she wrote about what AFA has accomplished so far. The following are quotes from her recent letters:

Less than 14 months ago we launched ACT! for America, and we now have close to 50,000 members and nearly 230 local chapters.

In January we launched a petition and legislator-contact effort to help get “Rachel’s Law” passed in the New York state legislature. “Rachel’s Law” was introduced to protect New York authors from intimidation lawsuits filed against them in foreign jurisdictions. Thousands of members signed the petition and/or contacted New York legislators, and in late March the bill passed and was signed into law. The momentum from this victory led to the introduction of similar legislation, entitled “The Free Speech Protection Act,” in the U.S. Congress.

In the spring, with the help of the erstwhile leadership of former board member Jerry Gordon and our colleague Joseph Shahda, some key terrorist websites were taken offline by their American internet service providers. Later in the year this “dynamic duo,” working closely with the staff of Senator Joe Lieberman, helped bring about a new policy at Google/YouTube, which will no longer allow the posting of videos depicting terrorist acts perpetrated against Americans.

In March news stories reported that a charter school in Minnesota, the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TiZA), appeared to be engaging in impermissible promotion of Islam at its taxpayer-funded school. Through email alerts, the actions of our central Minnesota chapter, and other efforts aimed at the Minnesota Department of Education, we called on the Department to take action. It did, launching an investigation of the school. The investigation resulted in the Department of Education issuing two citations to the school for violations of law.

In June we launched a nationwide petition calling on Congress to convene hearings to review extremist materials found in American mosques, a petition we will present to the new Congress in early 2009.

In early August we learned that a Tennessee Tyson Foods plant had negotiated a labor contract with its employees that removed Labor Day as a paid holiday and replaced it with Eid al-Fitr, the Islamic holiday closing the month of Ramadan. In response to an email action alert we sent out, countless ACT! for America members called and emailed Tyson Foods to object to this action. Three days later Tyson Foods issued a press release reinstating Labor Day as one of its paid holidays and removing Eid al-Fitr as a required paid holiday for all employees.

So I want to thank you for all you did to help make all of this possible. When you forwarded one of our emails, or made a contribution, or contacted a chapter leader, or took action on one of our action alerts, you helped move us forward. You helped make these accomplishments possible. We are steadily growing, and our collective voice is getting stronger and harder for politicians to ignore.

We’ve had over 1,500 people sign up on our website to be members in just the past couple of weeks. Kelly Cook, our National Field Director, tells me we’ll add twice as many new chapters this month compared to the last six months.

In the words of our Founding Fathers, “these are the times that try men’s souls.” These are the times that test and strengthen our character. Thankfully, as difficult as things now appear they’re not yet as trying as the times our founders faced. We still have so much to be grateful for.

But we can’t afford to forget that our radical Islamist enemies not only welcome but thrive on chaos and confusion. They’re hoping we get so caught up in the economic challenges facing us that we’ll forget about them. They’re hoping we won’t see them using Shariah-compliant finance to exploit America’s financial challenges and uncertainties. They may very well launch a major terrorist attack in the very near future, calculating that a nation coping with economic distress led by a new President, inexperienced in foreign policy, will lack the will to respond. And without question they will accelerate their efforts to infiltrate every level of our government to manipulate public policy in their favor.

AFA is doing what needs to be done to overcome the political barriers to an effective defense against Islam's relentless encroachment. I urge you to sign up for the AFA newsletter, to tell your friends about AFA, to join a local chapter in your area, and to read her two books.

Whoever is the most organized is going to win.

And please, those of you in other countries who know of a similar organization in your country, please leave contact information for the organization in the comments to this article. Thank you.

What You Can Do About Islam

WHEN I TALK to people about Islam's relentless encroachment and the goals and methods of jihad, the first thing they usually say is, "What can we do about it?" Usually this is not said with hopelessness, but with a sense of urgency. If it is the first time they've heard anything about this, they have a kind of panicked look in their eye, and the question comes out as a kind of desperate plead: What can we do?!

This is an entirely appropriate response. I now consider this an indication that someone has really understood the situation. I often get that response after a person has seen Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West. They get it. And the clearest sign they get it is the earnest question, "What can we do about it?"

I have written an ever-growing article — What Can a Civilian Do to Stop Islam's Relentless Encroachment? — to answer just this question. And I've dedicated a domain name just for that page.

The domain name is:

whatcanyoudoaboutislam.com.

This is now a resource we can all use.

When you're telling someone about jihad, about taqiyya, about the incessant push for concessions, about the passages in the Qur'an that support these things, and then they ask you what can be done about it, you can say, "Go to WhatYouCanDoAboutIslam.com."

You can make a sticker with that domain name on it and stick it to your copies of Obsession when you loan them out. You can print the domain name on a business card and hand it to people when they ask you that question. You can share the domain name on your web site or blog.

Part of the reason people don't like hearing about jihad is they don't know what they can do about it — it's a little too much to confront if nothing can be done. And that's something to keep in mind when you're telling people about this stuff. Always present it in a way that makes it clear we can do something about it.

To give you an idea of the difference between feeling you can do something and feeling you can't, imagine you are told you have terminal cancer, you're going to die, and there's nothing you can do about it. You have a kind of cancer that has no treatment.

Now imagine you're told you have cancer, but if you go through something difficult (like fasting or chemotherapy), it will very likely cure you.

There's a huge difference in how you would take news about cancer, isn't there? The emotional impact would be totally different. The news that you have cancer is much more tolerable the second way. Why? Only because you can do something about it.

After hearing about the third jihad, people are motivated or at least frightened, and that's a perfect time to give them something practical they can do about it. Tell them they must visit WhatYouCanDoAboutIslam.com.

I am going to keep comments open on that page, so when you come across new things that can be done, please add them. And as I come across new things, I'll add them to the list too. Let's have a single page with a simple and easy-to-remember domain name that we can direct people to.

We need more people to know there are practical things they can do about jihad, and we need more people taking action. WhatYouCanDoAboutIslam.com can help fulfill this need. Let's use it.

Identifying Jihadis in America

The following was written by Martel Sobieskey. When I first read it, I thought his suggestion was somewhat extreme, but the further into the article I read, the more sensible it seemed. I would be interested to know what you think about it (in the comments on this article).

Here it is, Sobieskey's "Identifying Jihadis in America:"

THE “SPECTER” of a nuclear bloodbath hangs over America, caused by a jihadist frenzy “foaming at the mouth” for our destruction. In order to “flush out” these nuclear maniacs, registration of the entire Muslim community in America is absolutely essential. The jihadist nuke-America agenda is not an idle threat, particularly since they have already acquired the weapons (see chapter 6 “Ignoring the Booming Nuclear Black Market” of Dr. Paul Williams’s book, Dunces of Doomsday).

Furthermore, experts agree that several thousand jihadists are living comfortably within the Muslim community, a combination of foreign jihadists and “homegrown” jihadists. The “homegrown” varieties are militant Muslims born and raised in the United States. (See Steven Emerson’s book, Jihad Incorporated: A Guide to Militant Islam in the US.)

The incendiary mix of foreign jihadists, “homegrown” jihadists, and nuclear weapons is an “ominous fuse ready to be lit” clearly warning that 500,000 Americans can be vaporized in an instant! This is no paranoid exaggeration, but a clear and present danger. F.B.I. Director, Robert Mueller, informed Ronald Kessler of News Max on May 15, 2007:

“. . . al-qaida’s paramount goal is clear: to detonate a nuclear device that would kill hundreds of thousands of Americans…We are going to be hit at some point…it’s just a question of when and to what extent.”

Failure to Protect Ourselves

The F.B.I. boss nearly guarantees we will suffer a jihadist nuclear attack, yet America remains paralyzed with self-complacency and disbelief. Have we become a nation of sheep ready for the slaughter?

The answer is yes; proven by our failure to enact the safeguards designed to protect us.

What must be done? We need to immediately implement the 1940 Alien Registration Act (Smith Act), and the 1798 Alien Enemies Act thereby registering all Muslims living in the USA and placing them under intense scrutiny.

This is no time to be polite, servile, or politically cowardly. We need to get the job done. According to Dr. Graham T. Allison of Harvard University: 500,000 killed would be the number of instant victims if a small (10 kiloton) nuke were set off in New York’s Times Square on a typical day. Dr. Allison gives the carnage a greater than 50% chance of happening.

Dr. Allison’s website at www.nuclearterror.org is crucially informative and brings home the harsh realities by providing a nuclear blast map which can be applied to your own city. His book, Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe, reveals that nuclear terrorism is inevitable if we continue on our present course, which in my opinion, is “floating” like a sitting duck waiting to get blown out of the water.

Why not break the impasse and protect ourselves? Registering Muslims will “throw a monkey wrench” into the jihadist plan, greatly reducing the probability of an attack. Please think deeply about this. Do you want to stop a nuclear attack or not?

The Precedent for Registration

In times of emergency all nations must monitor and register large groups of people, if they wish to survive. Unfortunately, a large percentage of Americans have lost their survival instinct, taking for granted their privileged lives which they mistakenly believe are “cost” free. They couldn’t be more wrong. Each American is obligated to share the “cost” of protecting our nation. Already, more than 4,000 soldiers have been killed, and a few million others are serving in the military, police and security community.

Compared to these heroes, registration is a minor inconvenience and minuscule price to pay. Shamefully, many Americans have become so selfishly spoiled and hubristic that they flatly refuse to suffer even the slightest inconvenience when asked to protect their nation. You will find these loathsome fools screaming “bloody murder” at the slightest hint of security measures such as registration of Muslims or the Patriot Act. No loyal American or reasonable person will behave so deplorably; such blatant irresponsibility emboldens the jihadists' nuke-America obsession. Registration proved very effective during WWII and is infinitely more necessary today.

Prior to World War II, a total of 4,741,971 aliens were registered in a period of 4 months, in order to uncover the enemies hiding within. President Roosevelt was prudent enough to make a “hot pursuit” of potential saboteurs. As a result, he successfully prevented internal attacks upon our homeland for the duration of WWII.

Today, it is imperative we follow Roosevelt’s example and register every Muslim 14 years or older. Each must be required to submit their photo, fingerprints, address, date and place of birth, physical description, occupation, employment history, arrest record, names of relatives in the USA and abroad, memberships in clubs, organizations, societies, and other pertinent data. The harshest penalties, for those who fail to register or lie, such as prison or deportation, must necessarily apply.

Michelle Malkin’s book, In Defense of Internment, provides a definitive report completely debunking the erroneous views of those opposing registration. Obviously, in times of great emergency, such as the present nuclear threat, national security takes precedence over the civil liberties of peacetime. Once again, ask yourself do you want to stop a nuclear attack on our homeland or not? Obviously, we must be proactive in preventing it.

The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 requires that when any predatory incursion is attempted or threatened against the United States, the President can make a public proclamation in order to single out and “round up the group” within which the enemies are hiding. This is exactly the course which needs to be pursued with the Muslim community today. It is a fact that the jihadists are hiding within our homeland and we must do whatever it takes to stop to them. It is well past time to “take off the gloves” and get down to the business of protecting ourselves. The noble adage — the price of freedom is eternal vigilance — has never been more relevant.

Weak-Minded

Nearly 50% of Americans are so weak-minded that the jihadist hate-America lobby believes that by simply calling us names like Islamophobe we will “shrink up” and let down our guard — enabling them to nuke us. So far they are 100% correct; nearly the entire Democratic Party refuses to defend our national security and remains adamantly in denial about the jihadist nuclear threat to our homeland. They are definitely suffering from the same mental disorder that afflicted Neville Chamberlain when he believed “romancing” and appeasing Adolph Hitler would bring peace to the world.

But the facts cry out loudly; never has there been a more urgent need to single out a group of people. Registration will serve as a much-needed litmus test, sorting out the elusive moderate Muslims from the militants.

Certainly, anyone who protests registration is not a moderate Muslim but an enemy to the United States’ national security. If you believe such opinion to be impolite, then most likely you have failed to “face the fact” that this is the age of jihadist nuclear terrorism.

Please think deeply: The jihadists possess an extremely entrenched homicidal mania and religious fervor to nuke us and their plan is well underway. This point cannot be overemphasized.

A Million Times More Dangerous

One of the world’s richest men, insurance magnate, Warren Buffet believes a nuclear terrorist attack on American soil is going to occur. At an annual meeting of Berkshire Hathaway he stated, “We’re going to have something of a major nuclear event in this country…It will happen — whether it will happen in 10 years or 10 minutes, or 50 years…it’s virtually a certainty.”

Today the threat of a jihadist nuclear attack on American soil is a million times more dangerous than the threat by conventional weapons during WWII. But things get even worse. The jihadists plan to nuke 7 American cities simultaneously and kill 4 million Americans. This is a sinister goal well-documented by Dr. Paul Williams. They will do just that if we fail to prevent it.

What is wrong with us? We registered 5 million people prior to WWII, but now, facing a nuclear weapon, we remain inert. Have we become our own worst enemy? The answer is yes.

Let’s compare the gravity of the situation. Today less than a dozen nuclear jihadists can vaporize 500,000 Americans in an instant. On the other hand, during WWII 350,000 Americans were killed during a 4-year period, and it took several million enemy soldiers armed with enormous amounts of weaponry to do so. Without doubt the risk we now face is astounding, beyond belief, and makes WWII seem infinitesimal.

Consequently, we can no longer afford to give a “religious pass” to the Muslim community because the majority of them are not nuclear jihadists. To the contrary, the severity of the nuclear threat is so far off the charts, we are forced to subject all Muslims to the utmost scrutiny in order to weed out the bad apples hiding amongst them. There is no other choice.

Conclusion

Anyone who disagrees with registration of the Muslims in America is a suicidal fool if not an outright enemy to American national security. Such chastisement is well justified because the consequences of failing to act are apocalyptic. “One bad apple spoils the whole bunch” especially when it’s a nuclear apple. We must take out all the stops in order to thwart the jihadist dream of massacring us on our own soil.

So enormous is the jihadist nuke-America threat that the Department of Homeland Security developed a special department called the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) on April 15, 2005. Well done indeed! One of their strategic objectives is to establish situational awareness through information sharing and analysis. The registration of Muslims will greatly enhance and facilitate this objective, proving to be the key ingredient for success. On the other hand, continuing the status quo of non-registration will neutralize, if not forecast a failure (which means we get nuked).

Registering Muslims is obligatory for preventing a jihadist nuclear blast on American soil as well as the other types of WMD’s. It is the epitome of negligence not to implement all methods of prevention. Remember 9/11 anyone? Let not history repeat itself by making a commission — after the debacle — in order to decide what should have been done to prevent it. Let’s do the right thing now!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Martel Sobieskey has 36 years research experience in the field of religious conditioning and its relationship to warfare. He is greatly alarmed that American politicians, military commanders, educators, journalists, intelligence analysts, security and police personnel have failed to comprehend the deeply entrenched jihadist conditioning inherent in all of Islam — moderates included.

Please Watch the Movie Obsession

AS I WROTE awhile back, Tom Trento of WatchObsession.org sent me fifty copies of the DVD, Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West, free of charge, and I fulfilled my promise of getting each of them into someone's hands within 25 days. I mailed some of them to friends and family living in other states, and the following is a letter I was going to send along with the DVD, but the letter was so long, I decided not to send it.

I liked it, however, so I thought I'd share it with you. Maybe you could start your own campaign by sending DVDs to your family and friends and copy and paste parts of this letter along with it:

I'm sending you this DVD because I want you to watch it. After you watch it, you can do whatever you want with it. This is yours to keep. It is important for everyone in the free world to know about the goals of Jihadis and how they are accomplishing those goals. It affects us all.

Among other things, the movie shows what happens on television in Muslim countries. It shows what they say to each other, which is something entirely different than what they say to non-Muslims. They are employing the Islamic principle of taqiyya, which means "religious deception." According to the Qur'an, Islam is in a state of permanent war with non-Muslims, and since deception is a common tactic in warfare, Muslims have permission and even encouragement from Islamic theology to lie to non-Muslims in the service of Islam.

You'll see several examples of taqiyya on this film. It's one of the reasons Westerners are generally in the dark about what's going on.

What's going on is that Jihadis — people who intend to fulfill Allah's command to fight for Islam until Allah's religion rules the world — are actively working toward that goal all over the world. Even within our country.

The movie is accurate. If anything, my only criticism would be that the film is too generous to Islam. I have read the Qur'an cover to cover, and I've been reading about the goals and methods of the Islamic agenda for seven years now (and you know I don't read superficially), and I can tell you, as rabble-rousing as this film may seem to you, it is a balanced report of what is actually happening.

Jihadis feel that Allah means what it says in the Qur'an — that the only way to guarantee your passage to Paradise is to die while fighting for Islam, that the only legitimate form of law and government is Shari'a (Islamic law), and that fighting for political goals is a religious duty and a form of worship. There are millions of these people in the world right now and they are actively and successfully recruiting new holy warriors every day.

There are many possible solutions to this problem, but none of them can be accomplished without a sufficient number of non-Muslims becoming aware of all this. The first and most important thing that needs to be accomplished is education about something that most people (if they've heard about it at all) have actually refused to believe.

It can't be true, right? All religions are basically the same. Unfortunately, no, they're not. Most religions may have much in common, but Islam is unique in its political aspirations, its direct commands to kill non-believers, and its methods of deception.

This is not racism and it is not Islamophobia. It is simply criticism of a religious and political doctrine. And religious and political criticism are perfectly legitimate in a free country.

And this is not a "smear campaign" or "hate speech." This is not guesswork. There is no need to twist the teachings into something scary. It's scary enough for non-Muslims as it is. You can read (and should) the Qur'an yourself. It is only about as long as the New Testament.

I hope I don't sound like an alarmist. To help me seem more reasonable, consider this: This film is relatively new; the DVD was released September 11th, 2007. In the time between then and now, Jihadis have committed 2,317 deadly attacks, with each attack killing at least one, and usually several per attack. Why? To intimidate, to gain concessions, and with the long term goal to take over countries, which they have successfully done in several countries recently.

I'm looking at the pages listing the attacks now. I had to print them out so I could accurately count the number of attacks since 9/11/07. It took me a long time just to count them all. To print all the attacks since Obsession was published, I had to print 87 pages of small type. I got the information from TheReligionOfPeace.com, which has been meticulously documenting only verifiable attacks since 9/11/01. Their ongoing list details how many people were killed in each attack, where the attack occurred, and a brief description of what happened. Many of these 2,317 attacks killed a lot of people. One random page I'm looking at now lists one attack that killed 11 people, one that killed 22 people, and one that killed 31 people, plus many smaller attacks.

Almost every country on earth is involved in this. It is a global war. On the page I'm looking at, several attacks occurred in Iraq, Thailand, Afghanistan, Pakistan, two occurred in Algeria, and one attack each occurred in India, Ingushetia, and Jordan — and this is in the span of three days. On other pages, you see attacks in China, Israel (of course), Britain, Somalia, Yemen, Germany, Lebanon, the Philippines, Chechnya, Sudan, Angola, Austria, Nigeria, Turkey, and it goes on and on. It is easy to see these as separate, isolated instances. But the Jihadis themselves think of this as a global war — the nation of Islam against the non-believers.

Violence is only one of the forms jihad can take. Immigrating into countries and then gaining concessions for Islam from within the country is another. Here are some concessions Islam has gained since Obsession came out on DVD:

1. Random House, after buying the rights to publish an historical novel about Mohammad, was warned by Muslims that violence might ensue with the publishing of the book, so they chose not to publish it. They were silenced by intimidation.

2. Shari'a law is now practiced in several places in Britain, legally.

3. A short video posted on YouTube that tried to get people to sign a petition to stop Shari'a law in Britain was removed from YouTube because Muslims complained. (It has since been republished.)

4. In Hamtramck, Michigan, the City Council waved the noise ordinances in deference to the mosque there to allow then to broadcast an amplified call to prayer throughout the neighborhood.

5. Public pools in Canada now provide private swim times to Muslim women so they can avoid the 'shame' of being seen by men. As the co-founder of Human Rights Service in Oslo, Hege Storhaug, said after Muslims tried to pressure Norway into making alcohol off limits on certain days in restaurants and discos because they felt "uncomfortable" around people drinking, "All the time it's Muslims who come with special requirements," she says. "We never hear a peep from Catholics, Jews, Hindus etc."

6. After a Danish newspaper published some cartoons depicting Mohammad — nothing more offensive than politicians suffer every day all over the free world — Muslims rioted all over Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, leaving 187 people dead. Afterward, many newspapers refused to reprint the cartoons out of fear. They were intimidated into silence by Muslims.

7. A documentary called Undercover Mosque, found that mosques in London promote violent jihad against non-Muslims, encourage murder and intolerance, and promote Shari'a, which means advocating the overthrow of the British government. A year and a half after the film aired, the same film crew did a follow-up documentary. Nothing had changed. The British government, out of political correctness, allows it to happen. Any other group would be stopped. But Islam gets special accommodation. Because they are so wonderful? No. Because they are pushy, vengeful and organized.

8. In Britain, husbands with multiple wives have been given the go-ahead to claim extra welfare benefits following a year-long Government review. Even though bigamy is a crime in Britain, this official decision means that polygamous marriages can now be recognized formally by the state, so long as the weddings took place in countries where the arrangement is legal. The outcome will chiefly benefit Muslim men with more than one wife, as is permitted under Islamic law (Shari'a). Britain's concession is helping Jihadis fulfill one of their most important goals: To gain a numerical advantage. Belgium and Germany also offer benefits to polygamists' various wives.

9. At Melbourne’s Monash University there are separate toilets for Muslims.

10. The Times of London reported that "Knorbert the piglet has been dropped as the mascot of Fortis Bank, after it decided to stop giving piggy banks to children for fear of offending Muslims." (Pigs are an offensive, unclean animal to Muslims.) Recently a local government council in Britain prohibited its workers from having knickknacks on their desks representing Winnie the Pooh’s sidekick Piglet.

Islam is an aggressive religion that will not stop. They think they've got the only valid way to live, and they have been given divine sanction to force everyone else to follow it. They will push for concessions until they get enough political power to try to seize the reigns of power. Until more people know what they're up to, they will operate unimpeded.

I urge you to watch this important film. It is produced with a commitment to accuracy. What you see may well change the way you see the world.

Islamophobia

In Robert Spencer's book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam, he quotes somebody else's long definition of "Islamophobia," which includes "attacking the entire religion of Islam as a problem for the world." And then Spencer writes:

Does labeling as "Islamophobic" the practice of "attacking the entire religion of Islam as a problem for the world" mean that it is also Islamophobic to focus attention on the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet as motivations for terrorist activity? If so, then jihad terrorists worldwide are themselves "Islamophobic," for, as we have seen, they routinely point to jihad passages from the Qur'an and Hadith to justify their actions.

In other words, if I say Islam is a political religion that mandates intolerance and violence against non-Muslims, that makes me an "Islamophobe." But it also makes Osama bin Laden an Islamophobe.

Islamophobia is a misleading term, as I'll explain in a minute, and yet it is used with great seriousness by governments all over the world, in the media, and even by the United Nations.

But "Islamophobia" is a made-up word. It isn't tenable, plausible, or convincing once you really look at it. Using the term is merely a way to slander those who have legitimate concerns about implications and consequences of the teachings of Islam. It is a way to prevent legitimate criticism and debate about an important global problem. As the historian, Victor Davis Hanson wrote:

There really isn't a phenomenon like "Islamophobia — at least no more than there was a "Germanophobia" in hating Hitler or "Russophobia" in detesting Stalinism. Any unfairness or rudeness that accrues from the "security profiling" of Middle Eastern young males is dwarfed by efforts of Islamic fascists themselves — here in the U.S., in the UK, the Netherlands, France, Turkey, and Israel — to murder Westerners and blow up civilians.

Since a phobia is an unreasonable fear of something, the term is inappropriately applied to Islam. It is not unreasonable to fear being blown to smithereens in the name of Islam. As of today, 15,754 deadly attacks have been carried out in the name of Islam since 9/11. They can strike anywhere. They could be a man, woman, or child. They don't look any particular way; they could be Chinese or European or African or Middle Eastern, young or old. But they are driven by a particular ideology — specifically, the teachings of the religion of Islam.

Islamophobia is not a good word for it. A better term might be "legitimate concern."

So here is a message to Islamic apologists: Try something else. Your feeble attempt with the pseudo-word, "Islamophobia" has failed. The term is discredited. As Ralph Waldo Emerson might have put it: "I hope in these days we have heard the last of Islamophobia. Let the word be gazetted and ridiculous henceforward."

Read more about the untenable nature of the word:

1. This is an article that will help you clarify what you're doing when you criticize Islam. It articulates what is wrong with the term "Islamophobia."

2. This is an article written by Ali Sina, the famous ex-Muslim, writing about the term "Islamophobia" and what, specifically makes the term meaningless.

3. This is a video: Robert Spencer's simple plan to end Islamophobia. It's kind of tongue-in-cheek, but he makes some good points, and you might want to send it to anyone who accuses you of being an Islamophobe.

4. And this is an article I wrote to peaceful Muslims who often write to me and tell me I shouldn't criticize Islam. I talk a bit about "Islamophobia" in the article.

5. Bill Warner created a test for Islamophobia: Take the Acid Test for Islamophobia.

Worldwide Jihad: The Scope of the Problem

ISLAMIC TERRORISTS (Jihadis) are killing people. Since 9/11, they've successfully perpetrated 17,127 deadly attacks, many of which killed and maimed large numbers of people, including the London and Madrid bombings.

Not only that, but right now as you read this, orthodox Muslims are getting military training and bomb-making training around the world via the internet and also in places like the no-man's-land along Pakistan's Western border. And they are successfully recruiting more and more Muslims to their cause.

But that isn't the whole problem.

We also have Muslims with Jihadi political agendas who have emigrated to America, Canada, Australia, Germany, Britain, France, Italy, and the Netherlands, who are having lots of children, who are increasing the Muslim-to-non-Muslim ratios in those countries, who are agitating for special concessions, and who have the goal of Islamizing the government. They are gaining ground in every country throughout the free world. Add to that their constant use of taqiyya (religious deception), which sufficiently confuses non-Muslims and prevents any kind of coherent resistance to the Islamic advance.

But that isn't the whole problem.

There are many countries such as Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon, and Malaysia that used to be budding democracies, but their Muslim-dominated populations have continually and successfully pressured their governments into applying Shari'a law (a system of law lacking the rights of free speech, freedom of religion, or equality between the sexes) more and more stringently.

Islam is on the move everywhere.

But even that does not encompass the whole scope of the problem.

The people of free countries have been disabled. They have been rendered helpless to resist Islamic encroachment. The non-Muslims have disarmed themselves with the doctrine of multiculturalism. The doctrine has streamlined into a mindset that appreciates every culture but our own. And sometimes it has streamlined even further into simply hating our own culture or feeling that we don't even have a culture. (Read more about that here.)

The only way to stop Islam's relentless invasion is for non-Muslims like you and me to join together to defend our values — to protect those values from the Muslims' constant push toward gaining concessions for Islam at the expense of those values. To do this, non-Muslims will have to be clear about what we value, and they had better be values we feel are very important. They need to be values worth fighting for.

Defending our values may be bloody. People may die. In fact, people have died already. When the Danish newspaper published some cartoons of Mohammad, the ensuing riots left 187 people dead. This was a clash between values. The Muslims valued their belief that Mohammad should never be mocked or represented in any form of art. They believe freedom of the press should be limited, especially about Islam.

Non-Muslims in the free world value free speech and the right to say or draw or publish whatever you want, even if it offends someone.

This value — free speech — might be a value important enough to fight for. Multiculturalism is not. Add "freedom of religion" and "equality for women" to freedom of speech, and I think we've got values important enough to be worth defending.

The upshot of all this is that Islam — a politically and militarily aggressive religion — is growing in every way. They are having more offspring than non-Muslims, they're moving in ever greater numbers into free countries because those societies need cheap labor, and they are finding more and more ways to gain concessions, using everything from "litigation jihad" to political bargaining to newspaper ads to a mushrooming of organizations that influence the media and lobby to silence critics and gain advantages for Muslims. The West is sending hundreds of billions of dollars a year directly into the bank accounts of Jihadis who use that money to wage jihad around the world.

And the West has yet to clearly articulate what values it would care to defend against Islam's invasion, thus allowing the invasion to occur almost unimpeded. In fact, in many different ways, the West is assisting in its own demise (opening borders to Muslims, buying oil from Saudi Arabia, for example, and funding the enemy, allowing mosques and madrassas to be built in free countries, publishing articles and textbooks sympathetic to Islam, harshly criticizing and even firing those who are trying to inform people about Islam's political intentions, etc.)

THAT is the scope of the problem.

What can little ol' you do about it? Plenty. Get started right now — we have no time to lose.

A Concession That Should Not Be Granted

MUSLIMS LIVING IN the West are waging jihad by gaining concessions. And one of the concessions they've been easily attaining in the free world is permission to build mosques by the thousands, usually funded by Saudi oil money, and controlled by Jihadis.

Western countries hardly think twice when Muslims want to build a mosque, because Westerners think of mosques as simply "places of worship." But Jihadis consider mosques on foreign soil to be staging posts for further encroachments into the country with the ultimate goal of establishing the law of Allah in that new land.

In other words, Western countries are allowing Jihadis to build forward bases for their military infiltration. That might sound like fear-mongering, but it's a plain fact that even Jihadis don't try to hide. Jihad is preached in mosques, and it is not the exception, but the rule. Seditious material is for sale and given to mosque-goers all over the free world. (Read more about the kind of messages promoted in mosques in the United States and Britain.)

In short, a mosque is a military outpost in the invasion of a non-Muslim country.

The book, The Mosque Exposed, is written by two ex-Muslims, S. Solomon and E. Alamaqdisi. In it, they write, "...in Islam...the mosque is always the center, the beginning, and the end of all Islamic affairs..." As Fatwa #26159 says:

"For a mosque is symbol of the presence of Islam, the heartbeat of the Muslim community, an educational outlet where the community is taught to combat evil, ignorance and apostasy. It is a university as well as a court, from where the laws of Allah are promoted, it is a symbol of authority within that community and ultimately within the state and beyond, for the Apostle of Allah said Islam rises and nothing rises above it, for it is the uppermost."

A mosque is just a building. But in Islam, the mosque is the center of their religion, and in Islam the religion is totally encompassing in a way non-Muslims can hardly imagine. As Solomon and Alamaqdisi write:

"Islam cannot be defined only as a religion in the Western sense of the word, neither can it be termed as a faith only. It is a whole encompassing system. It is first and foremost a socio-political and socio-religious system, as well as socio-economic, socio-educational, legislative, judiciary, and military system, cloaked and garbed in religious terminology, with regulations that govern every aspect of the lives of its adherents and their relationships among themselves, and with those that are non-Muslims.

"The main institution that plays a central role in the Muslim community directing their lives and almost everything related to that is the mosque."

Muslims are required to emulate Mohammad in all ways, and Mohammad used the mosque as a home-base where jihad was declared, where fatwas were made, where indoctrination took place, where raids and attacks were planned, where the planning and building of the Islamic State took place, where military orders were given, and it was in the mosque where Mohammad gave his death sentences to the enemies of Islam.

It says over seventy times in the Qur'an that a Muslim should follow Mohammad's example.

Given all that, a new policy should be established in democracies around the world: No more mosques can be built. And the ones that already exist should be closely monitored. When a mosque is found to promote sedition, it should be closed. A new mosque is a concession that should not be granted.

Whoever Is Most Organized Will Win

In an account of Robert Spencer's speech at East Tennessee State University, I read that the Muslim activists on campus effectively ruined his speech and tried to discredit him before and during his talk. There were probably only 20 Muslims involved, but they were organized, and the counterjihad activists were not organized enough to defend or protect Spencer from this attack.

Spencer managed to deliver his talk, but to many in the audience, he appeared as one lone voice, isolated, hated, and without support. Why? Because the Muslims were organized and the defenders of freedom were not.

And the same principle is being demonstrated in many places in the free world: The Muslims are organized and the freedom-defenders are not. So Muslims have a disproportionate political influence. They create organizations that sue people. They create organizations to lobby politicians. They create organizations to give the press answers on Islamic questions. They are winning. Why?

They're organized.

But they are totally outnumbered. And it would not take much to prevent them from waging jihad by gaining concessions, or getting people fired for criticizing Islam, or helping Jihadis immigrate to our country to promote jihad in the mosques, or anything else we want to stop them from doing — we could easily do it if only we were organized. There is something missing and it is badly needed: United action.

Brigitte Gabriel has stepped into the gap and created ACT! For America. It is the most organized response to the jihad against the United States I have yet come across. I urge you to sign up for the AFA newsletter, to share the organization with all your friends, to join a local chapter in your area, and to read her two books. They are heading toward a million members and have hired a lobbyist. With a lobbyist representing a million members, politicians want to talk to that lobbyist. ACT! For America has their ear.

ACT! For America is for the United States. If you know of a similar organized group in your country, please post the organization's contact information in the comments of this section.

Let's organize. Whoever is the most organized is going to win.

Early Prevention of Bigotry and Racism

When you're talking to non-Muslims and you say something unflattering about Islam, most Westerners will try to defend Islam. They tend to see what you're saying through the filter of "racism" or "bigotry," and toward such things they have an automatic response: Protect the poor abused Muslims from hatred and fear-based reactions. They may envision lynchings. They don't want to see racial profiling. They don't want to have interment camps like the Japanese suffered during WWII. 

Since they see your criticism as bigotry or racism, they are unthinkingly and reflexively opposed to a perfectly normal and legitimate activity in a free country: Political and religious criticism. 

One of our most treasured guaranteed rights is the right to critique the doctrines of any political or religious group. The fact that it might be offensive to someone is exactly why free speech has to be protected (if it didn't bother anyone, there would be no need to protect it). (Read more about that here.)

Hopefully you are not a bigot or a racist, but whether you are or not, racism has nothing to do with criticism of Islamic doctrine. Islam is not a race or an ethnic group. There are Muslims of every race. And there are more non-Arab Muslims than Arab Muslims. 

If you're not a racist, whoever balks at your criticism of Islamic doctrines and thinks you're being racist actually agrees with you, and you should make your agreement on this issue crystal clear. In fact, we can emphasize the racial issue as an important reason to solve the "Islamic encroachment" issue as soon as possible. 

Many people in the counterjihad think it will take a dirty nuke going off in Chicago or Paris before the free world wakes up. But after a tragedy or a major attack, people will be angry and afraid, and decisions under those circumstances aren't always the sanest decisions. In times like those, people can overreact. In times like those, they do things like put all Japanese people into internment camps. That was a fear-based reaction, and it was bigoted and racist.  

We can avoid that kind of overreaction if we talk about Islam now, in calmer times. In other words, talking about Islamic teachings now can help PREVENT racism and bigotry by making sure everyone understands what Islamic teachings are about, and that everyone understands Islam is a doctrine, not a race. This is a point you should stress when someone seems to resist talking about Islam and who seems irrationally against talking about it. They are probably afraid you're a bigot. They might be afraid even talking about it with you somehow condones racism. Make it very clear right up front you're against racism, that Islam is not a race, and that conversations like these will prevent racism in the future if something disastrous happens. 

If racism is what they were concerned about, you will suddenly have their attention. If those who are not racist think criticizing Islam is racist, it proves an important point. Namely, that it is vital more people understand Islam. 

In other words, if you think criticism of Islamic doctrine is racist, you are demonstrating that you don't understand what Islam is, and you are illustrating exactly why we need to talk about it and learn about it, because if YOU, who are so strongly against racism, think Islam has something to do with race, then how are racist people going to react if a bomb goes off in downtown Houston and kills a million people?

Love and Freedom

THE FOLLOWING WAS written by PinkNeck and published here with her permission. PinkNeck explained some of the basic (not-so-pleasant) teachings of Islam to a woman, and the woman said, among other things, "Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy? Do you want the world to change so you can feel safe and happy? If you want a world of peace add only love. Every event in life is either loving or a cry for love — so love — just love."

This was PinkNeck's response:

Oh I admire your intentions. I believe in love. Truly. But what we must also face is the truth that not all people are good people. About one in twenty-five men, and about one in fifty women have bodies that lack any receptors for oxytocin (a bonding hormone). So, their bodies have no ability to bond with other human beings. These kinds of people have been called many things throughout history. Sociopath is the current word to describe them. And these few people, these cold-blooded humans, DO NOT CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE. And there is no medicine, no therapy, no operation, no way on earth to change them. And they create hell on earth in their wake.

Clearly Mohammad was a sociopath. No one can read the Qur'an and not see that. And the men of Islam are told to try to be just like the prophet Mohammad: Lie and kill and torture non-believers with no regard for anyone who has not submitted to the will of Allah.

I love people deeply. I am loyal and courageous. I am one of the most responsible humans on the planet. But no matter how good I am, it makes no difference to a sociopath. And as long as there are sociopaths (or their followers), the only way to have peace is to have the good people strong enough to defend the innocent.

You want peace, but peace is not laying down your weapons. Peace is only bought by being powerful enough to stop the sociopaths, the Hitlers and Saddams, and now the terrorists of Islam, from taking whatever they want from whoever they want.

You and all those who put their "Give Peace A Chance" stickers on their cars want to be happy just like I want to be happy. But the reality is as long as there are people who don't care about others, you simply MUST have a military able to protect us from those willing to do violence to get what they want. POWER IS THE ONLY MEANS TO CREATE PEACE.

Peace is not bought with love. Peace is bought by being stronger than the sociopaths and the armies they lead. And now the army of Islam has declared war on the Infidels. That's you and me. And every day they lie and kill and torture to try to once again take over the world. This is not the time to be holding good thoughts and trying to act out of love for our enemies. This is a time to face the horrible truth that a so-called "religion" has declared WAR on everyone who won't submit to Allah. And the longer we wait to deal with it, the more their movement grows, the harder it is to stop them. Now they are trying to pass a law in the United Nations making it illegal to say anything bad about Islam.

The people who protest war have caused millions of deaths. Look at WWII. The people protesting the war in the U.S. managed to keep us out of the war for years! Think of how many millions of gypsies and Jews died before the U.S. joined the fight. And think about how powerful Hitler became during that time, making it more difficult and making it cost even more American and British lives to stop his war machine.

In the time it took for you and I to have our little conversation, the count in this Islamic war went from 11,998 attacks (since 9/11) yesterday to 12,009 attacks today. (Here's a site that keeps track of all the attacks since 9/11: http://thereligionofpeace.com/.) In only one day, another eleven attacks!

And every person who is sitting on their hands doing nothing to stop this is allowing innocent people to die at the hands of Jihadis (Islamic warriors). Every time someone says to pray for peace or tells me to find peace in my heart or, like your message that says we should respond in love, well, it allows another innocent human being to die. Every person seeking peace by responding in love alone is letting down those too weak to protect themselves from the violence of jihad.

I personally think that love would be trying to save those people from the hands of the terrorists. I think true love is trying to stop Islam's relentless encroachment. Love is trying to save lives, not just having good feelings for others.

I hope you and your friends join me in the fight. We can make a difference. Go here to read a list of Citizen Warrior Heroes. These are regular people trying to save the world from jihad.

We fight by telling the truth about this war. And we fight by supporting those willing to stand up and face the threat of jihad — women like Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Wafa Sultan and Nonie Darwish, and the men like Robert Spencer and Geert Wilders. They have seen the threat. They lived it and understand the threat, and they are trying to tell the world. Please listen to them and their stories.

I hope you join me. Please. The future of freedom, and love, depends on it.

The woman wrote back to say PinkNeck doesn't understand the sacred truth of life on the spiritual level and that the solution is for her to go within and find out where her perception of Islam resonates within her.

Here is PinkNeck's response:

This is the TRUTH...on the physical level. These women are scarred for life, victims of Islamic ideas (about the subjugation of women, the total control over women by men, and the justified use of force by their male relatives and husbands to punish them, and even kill them).

The people listed below have all died since we started talking...and your response is you want me to "go within and try to figure out where my perception of this religion resonates within me"? You've got to be kidding!!! Go play on your mystical level. I don't have the time to deal with such utter nonsense.

Terrorist Hunter

I just finished an excellent book — Terrorist Hunter: The Extraordinary Story of a Woman Who Went Undercover to Infiltrate the Radical Islamic Groups Operating in America. It is the true story of Rita Katz, who grew up as a Jew in Iraq.

In 1967 Egypt, Syria, and Jordan went to war with Israel in what is now known as the Six Day War. The Islamic countries were soundly defeated. Muslims across the Middle East were embarrassed and humiliated. The Iraqi government took it out on Jews in their country, and unfortunately, Rita's father was one of those Jews. He was tortured and then hanged in the public square. Her mother smuggled Rita and her siblings out of the country and into Israel.

Eventually, Rita moved to the U.S. and found a job for which she was perfectly suited: As a terrorist hunter. She spoke Arabic perfectly, she had a degree in Middle Eastern Studies from Tel Aviv University, and she was intensely motivated to thwart the Jihadis' plans to exterminate Jews and subjugate the world to Islamic domination.

Her job was mostly research — trying to discover which charitable organizations were legitimate and which were funding jihad, trying to find out where the money goes, trying to discover which organizations have ties to which, and working to discover if there are known terrorists involved. Sometimes she dressed up as a Muslim, taped a hidden camera and recording device inside her robes, and went to mosques and Islamic conventions in the U.S. to see what she could find. And what she found was shocking.

Right there in downtown Chicago or San Fransisco, she found known terrorists speaking to thousands of people, telling them that they have a holy duty to undermine and ultimately overthrow the government of the United States and replace the Constitution with Shari'a Law. And technically, that's true. If any of the Muslims in those groups had read their Qur'an and their Hadiths, they would know the speaker was telling the truth. What was shocking was that they were getting away with what is essentially sedition, right under the noses of Americans.

Rita started this work in the 90's, before the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993. But the book's story continues until well after 9/11, and surprisingly, not much has changed. It would seem simple to arrest someone for sedition and try them, but for one sticky fact: The sedition they preach is a key component of a religion, and we have laws respecting freedom of religion in this country. This will have to be resolved if the U.S. government is to survive. Islam may have to be singled out as something different than any other religion, which in fact it is. 

Islam is unique in many different respects, and some of that uniqueness has to do with its political aggressiveness. Rita discovered an enormous amount of money pouring in from Saudi billionaires to cleverly set-up "relief organizations" and "charitable organizations" and "think tanks" and she traced how the money gets transferred to one organization, who then gives it to another, and around and around it goes until it would be almost impossible to follow. But she tracked it down. The money ends up creating new mosques in America that advocate jihad against the West, and the money goes to paying families to send their sons on suicide missions into Israel.

One of the many ironies she discovered: Sometimes money is actually given to these charitable organizations by USAID!

Here's another one: Ordinary Americans, thinking they're helping the poor orphans of war-torn Palestine, are actually creating orphans with the money they privately donate to these groups. It is just unbelievable. I've read stuff like this before, and you probably have too, but here is a woman at the heart of the work — one of the people who helped uncover things nobody else has — giving you a first-hand account of her work and how she helped the INS (United States Immigration and Naturalization Service) prevent terrorists from entering the country, helped expel terrorists who had been enjoying the fruits of our free society for years, and how she helped the government after 9-11 shut off the unrestrained flood of money that had been flowing into Jihadi organizations.

One of the things I found most interesting about this book is how the FBI and CIA have such a hard time putting these people behind bars. They need exceptionally good evidence, and everything about their investigation has to be completely free of mistakes. So they don't bring someone to court until they have ironclad evidence. As a consequence, murderous Jihadis that our security agents know about are walking around as free as you and me. The FBI and CIA have to just keep watching and waiting and collecting evidence. I used to resent the security agents for this, but that's just one of the prices we pay for living in such a free society, and many of these agents are doing the best they can within the restraints placed on them.

Rita Katz is intelligent, passionate, and well-informed. And she is a very good writer. I recommend this fascinating book to you. Read it and loan it to someone. Open their eyes to the jihad taking place within our borders. And then tell them what they can do to stop it.

Will It Stop Terrorism To Build Schools?

No. It won't. But it will help.

In Three Cups of Tea, Greg Mortenson wrote:

"I've learned that terror doesn't happen because some group of people somewhere like Pakistan or Afghanistan simply decide to hate us. It happens because children aren't being offered a bright enough future that they have a reason to choose life over death."

This is nonsense.

First of all, there are children all over the world who are not offered a bright future, but who have, nevertheless, never thought of dedicating their lives to destroying the free world.

What about the two Muslim doctors in Britain who were planning a suicide attack on the Glasgow Airport? It is only by luck that the deadly devices didn't detonate. One of them who provided money for the cars and bombs was a senior house officer in the neurology department of University Hospital of North Staffordshire. Does this sound like someone "without a bright enough future?"

Islamic terrorism has its roots in the ideology of Islam. The primary doctrinal source of Islam, the Qur'an, teaches hatred and encourages violence against non-Muslims. That simple fact needs to be acknowledged worldwide by Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Then we'll be able to solve the problem. As long as we avoid that fact, our efforts will not succeed.

The content of the Qur'an is not at all difficult to confirm. Stop listening to opinions and read the Qur'an yourself to find out.

Even with all that, it is also true that helping give poor Muslim children an alternative to a maddrassa will help produce Muslim adults who are less interested in following their holy book to the letter, and that is a good thing. It would help. But it is not the whole solution by any means.

Pat Condell: Islam is Not a Victim

PAT CONDELL is so eloquent and makes so many good points so quickly and with such intelligence, it's like listening to great music. Here's one of my favorite videos of his:



Pat has a collection of his rants on DVD for sale on his web site. I just ordered it and I'm going to put it on audio and listen to it in my car. He has constructed some sharp ways of communicating his points — points we are all trying to make in our conversations — so his brief talks are worth studying. We can use Pat's skill to help us communicate our points to our friends and family with style and punch and persuasiveness.

Let's listen to his talks over and over. Let's get the rhythm, the humor, the information, the order he delivers it in and the language he uses to deliver it, and let's use all that to persuade and convince people we talk to. The most important thing you can do to help turn the tide against Islam's relentless encroachment is teach people about Islam. Pat can help.

Support an Open Fuel Standard

"THIS YEAR, the United States and other countries will send OPEC countries more money than the United States taxpayers send our own Department of Defense," says Anne Korin in the video below.

This can change. It costs very little for car manufacturers to tweak their engines so they can burn several different kinds of fuels — in other words, to create a single engine that can burn ethanol and methanol and gasoline, whichever is available or cheapest. Car manufacturers already make some of their cars with this tweak. If car manufacturers were required to do this by the government (just as they are required to build in seat belts), fuel companies would have enough confidence to build fueling stations for alternative fuels, and then what would happen? The different kinds of fuels could compete.

Right now oil is a fuel monopoly. It is the only fuel most cars use. This monopoly is controlled by OPEC. They don't produce all the oil on the market, but they produce such a large amount that they can change the global price of oil when they wish. This means the global price of oil is controlled by Jihadis, and they are using their oil monopoly to do two things at once: To fund a global jihad, and to weaken the free world.

The idea of "drill here, drill now" will help remove money from OPEC and put it into the U.S. market, which is a good thing, but it still leaves OPEC controlling oil prices, which means Jihadis are controlling the price of transportation, which means Jihadis are controlling the global economy. "Drill here, drill now" is a good thing to do, but it is not the whole solution. Whenever more oil is added to the global market, OPEC reduces its output accordingly. Their control of their output controls the price. It is oil jihad. We need to defeat it with freedom. In this case, a free market competition between transportation fuels.

In the U.S., we only use 2% of our oil creating electricity. Building more nuclear power plants or wind turbines won't help much with the transportation issue until more cars and trucks are electric. But making more fuel options possible (by mandating the open fuel standard) will strongly impact the transportation issue quickly, giving us freedom from the monopoly, and freedom from control by OPEC, while cutting off a significant flow of money to people committed to sabotaging Western democracies.

Watch Anne Korin speak about the problem and the solution in the video below. Korin is the director of policy and strategic planning at Institute for the Analysis of Global Security and the editor of Energy Security:



The simplest, cheapest, quickest way to eliminate OPEC's control on the world economy is making it a law that cars must be made with an open fuel standard. Do you want to cut off money going to Jihadis bent on the West's destruction? Write to your representatives now.
