- Go to Islamo-Fascism: The Veiled Presence…Part VIII
Naut.....
This is a great series......our inept administration is still toeing the PC line.....have you seen the newly released homeland security assessment?
The Department of Homeland Security released two documents that discuss strategy over the next four years. The documents do not once mention Islam (or any variant). Shocking or just another 'to be expected from this administration'?
The 108-page Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, made public last week by the Department of Homeland Security, uses the term "terrorist" a total of 66 times, "al Qaeda" five times and "violent extremism" or "extremist" 14 times. It calls on the U.S. government to "actively engage communities across the United States" to "stop the spread of violent extremism." Yet in describing terrorist threats against the United States and the ideology that motivates terrorists, the review - like its sister document from the Pentagon, the Quadrennial Defense Review - does not use the words "Islam," "Islamic" or "Islamist" a single time.

I was not surprised at what happen, as a matter of fact I am surprised
that it has not been happening more. Wiley is right, if we dont do more America is over. I expect attacks in the United States to grow more and more as they gain more and more power into our life. The muslim translators in the gov is a true joke if it werent so lethal. How stupid have we become by political correctness. It is what George Orwell called duckspeak. If you really want to know what is the near future of the United States read Bridget Gabriel's book on what happen to Lebanon by the Jihads and expect them to do the exact same thing to us. They promised to do it, and they were not joking around.

All of this, your posts, the comments, etc. is interesting and alarming, and makes one want to do something. But, the desire to do something is overwhelmed by a feeling of inferior knowledge and training.

I was surprised as well at how he was able to stay involved with the military despite what was known...Pretty scary about all those translators being rejected. So tough it is to find people in America who speak a second language and then to go do that and hire suspicious characters is something that we voters need to keep in mind for our upcoming elections.

I had a pretty good idea that all those "translators" were not on the up and up... Because I speak farsi and some arabic I volunteered after 911 to translate and worked up in Maryland for a while.. Family problems called me back home after a few months but the little time I spent there was enough to convince me that the idea to get "arabic speaking american citizens" to help out was not a very sound one. Several times I heard disparaging remarks among people working with me directed towards the government of the US and its policies... they were nothing subversive but bitter enough that they called my attention. I can see how moles could have been introduced at that time and by now would have been working with the FBI for almost 10 years, perhaps even promoted and placed in supervising positions. We americans are trusting if we are anything and as I have said before most of us do not understand the arabic way of thinking. Scary stuff Naut... and though I do not agree with WIley that here in Blogit we are Christians, pseudo christians or racists loll I do agree with the sweet man in that what you write seems too important to be read by just a few of us in here, Be well my friend xoxoxo

New Comment on Islamo-Fascism:
Your perceptions are growing keener; double-check some of your proposed time lines, though. Still waters run deep and rapidly. joab

Much of this is known - if not in exact examples and circumstances than in a growing sense of dread - among American Jews, Israeli Jews and Jews in general all over the world. (And don't even get me started on the State Dept. and UN). But the greater question is what to do about it? Set up camps like we did with the Japanese Americans during WWII? Deport everyone who worships in a mosque? I know several Muslims who'd never fit this category (one is a ball-busting "agnostic" former Iranian whose family moved to Michigan after the fall of the Shah, and another Iranian who has two Jewish kids from his first wife, two Catholic kids from his second and a Mom who was Bahai, who has lived in Boston since 1978). Should they be included in "the veiled presence?" As a person who, 60 years ago, would have been marked and suspect by virtue of my religious background, I find it dangerous to create an us vs. them dynamic. There are Muslims now (though not enough I agree) who are denouncing the violent, non-tolerant aspects of their religion. We should be giving them megaphones.

In my humble opinion you ought to be sending everything you have written on ths subject to somebody like Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, the FBI or straight out to CNN. Why is it buried away in Blogit where all your readers are Christians, pseudo Christians, racists who can only focus on poor old Obama as the problem. Is it not time for you to actually
DO something?...............
