Jihad 101 for Congress
Dear Friends,
Clifford May’s open letter to Congress (below) parallels our Keep America Safe and Free appeal to Congress. We are very encouraged by the early signs being sent by Members of Congress like Rep. Peter King regarding the threat of radical Islam.
Having said that, there remain within Congress and the Obama administration many ideological and political obstacles to their acknowledging what we are really up against in the so-called “War on Terror.”
Late in February or early in March we want to deliver a strong message to Congress from the American people—our ten point platform for keeping America Safe and Free. Some 30,000 people have signed it—but many of our members have not yet done so.
Jihad 101: An open letter to the 112th Congress: by Clifford May Scripps Howard News Service January 6, 2011 http://www.cliffordmay.org/ Dear Member of the New Congress: A few things you need to know about the War Against the West. Last month, Americans celebrated the holidays without a terrorist attack on American soil. That should be a source of relief but not complacency. Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Nigeria, and the Philippines were not so lucky. The hard fact is a global conflict is underway. You, as an incoming member of the 112th Congress, need to understand that. You need to know who is waging this war, what motivates them, and what their goals are. Without such knowledge, you will not be able to make informed — much less wise — legislative and policy decisions. So here's a very brief briefing: In 1979, there was a revolution in Iran. Those who took power established thefirst modern nation dedicated to Jihad — holy war against Christians, Jews, Hindus, and Muslims who do not accept their radical Islamist agenda. Iran is a predominately Shia country but its revolution inspired the rise of militant groups among the more numerous Sunni Muslims of the broader Middle East as well. Al-Qaeda is only the best known. Sunni jihadis and Shia jihadis are rivals, not enemies. They cooperate and collaborate against common enemies — us, for example. The evidence for this is abundant. What is the goal of jihad? It was articulated concisely by the scholar Ibn Khaldun: "In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the [Muslim] mission and the [obligation to] convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force. . . . Islam is under obligation to gain power over nations." Perhaps Ibn Khaldun was speaking out of anger, considering the continuing incarceration of Muslim combatants at Gitmo, the American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and the sufferings of the Palestinians? I'd guess not — since Ibn Khaldun died early in the 15th century. Most Muslims do not embrace this interpretation of Islam or view it as appropriate for the 21st century. But a supremacist reading of the Koran caters to the pride and vanity of a significant minority of the world's more than 1.3 billion Muslims. Also important: In what we have come to call the "Muslim world," modernizers and reformers do not control the lion's share of the money (oil money) and power (which, in most countries, is not democratically derived). The Muslim world is an expanding world: The Saudi-based Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) claims 56 member states. Some are not — or not yet — Muslim-majority nations. The OIC is the most powerful bloc at the United Nations, an organization that the U.S. continues to generously fund. (You may want to consider whether such expenditures still make sense.) Meanwhile, the Muslim population of Europe is growing rapidly while what might be called the continent's natives are in ademographic death spiral. The "Hard Jihad" is fought with violence. There is also the "Soft Jihad" — an effort to destroy liberal democracies from within, to use Western values and institutions to undermine Western values and institutions. The most important organization promoting Soft Jihad is the Muslim Brotherhood and its many affiliates. Twenty years ago, an American branch of the Muslim Brotherhood issued an internal memorandum acknowledging — boasting, actually — that it was engaged in a "grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within" by "sabotage." Anytime you are approached by members of a "moderate" Muslim group, you should ask about their links to the Muslim Brotherhood and their views of the Muslim Brotherhood. One weapon of the Soft Jihad is "lawfare." To take just one example, Soeren Kern, senior fellow at the Madrid-based think tank Grupo de Estudios Estratégicos (GEES), recently reported on a Spanish high-school geology teacher who is being sued for having "defamed Islam" by mentioning pork products in his classroom. Specifically, during a lecture on Spain's regions, he noted that Andalusia offers the perfect climate for curing the world-famous delicacy known as jamón ibérico – Spanish ham. Kernn writes that though "Spanish legal scholars are divided over whether the lawsuit has merit, nearly everyone agrees that the case has potentially major implications for free speech in Spain. They also agree that the constant threat of lawsuits will force Spanish school teachers to carefully consider their choice of words in the future." Lawfare also embraces efforts to spread Sharia, Islamic law, for example by insisting that Western firms provide "Sharia-compliant financing," which gives Islamic clerics say over investment decisions and, potentially, siphons off funds to "charities" that support terrorism. And then there is this: Last week, a Danish court charged three men with plotting an armed assault on the office of Jyllands-Posten, the newspaper that in 2005 published satirical cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed. Most significant is the message this sends: Under traditional interpretations of Islamic law it is forbidden for Muslims to portray Mohammed pictorially. Now, however, these religious prohibitions are to apply equally to non-Muslims in non-Muslim majority countries. And, apparently, there is no statute of limitations. If the OIC were a moderate organization, it would object to that. Instead, it has been pushing in the U.N. for international laws that would limit free speech where Islam is concerned. The U.S. has an ambassador to the OIC. He should be vigorously opposing such efforts. You might want to inquire into why it does not appear that he is. If you've followed me this far, here are three policy implications: (1) While the War Against the West is different from previous wars, it is not simply a "law-enforcement" problem as too many people (including, it seems, James Cole, just recess-appointed by President Obama as deputy attorney general) prefer to believe. (2) Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia — these are not separate wars but rather fronts in a single global conflict. (3) Make up your mind that the jihadis in Tehran will not acquire nuclear weapons — not on your watch.The sanctions imposed by the U.S. in 2010 are an important part of the effort but only a part. Final point: 2011 is the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Osama bin Laden is alive. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has a plan. Are you confident the U.S. has an adequate strategy for frustrating their ambitions? And by the way: Welcome to Washington. |

Welcome! - New ACT! For America Chapter!
Thank you for visiting this site. It's the official blog of the newly established Brunswick County/Wilmington Area, North Carolina chapter of ACT! For America. Its purpose is to educate the public about the dangers of Sharia Law and to show that Sharia is in direct conflict with the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Separation of Church and State. Because of this, it should NEVER be considered in court cases. Unfortunately, however, it is being interjected into our legal system more and more every day. This has to stop! Omar Ahmad, the founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), once said "The Quran should be the highest authority in America." No, the Constitution is and for very good reason!

| 1. About ACT! for America |
ACT! for America was founded by Brigitte Gabriel, a Lebanese immigrant who came to the United States after losing her country of birth to militant Muslim fundamentalists during the Lebanese Civil War. Now an American citizen, Gabriel founded ACT! for America to give Americans their voice back. That unique American voice, full of joy and anticipation of better days and infinite aspirations...muted by the scourge of political correctness. Muted by intimidation, as evidenced by the increasing use of slurs such as "Islamophobe" by Muslim apologists against anyone who dares to speak the truth about radical Islam, terror and jihad. Muted by fear of lawsuits. Muted by fear of physical assault. ACT! for America was created to provide American citizens a means to be a collective voice for the democratic values of Western Civilization, such as the celebration of life and liberty, as opposed to the authoritarian values of radical Islam, such as the celebration of death, terror and tyranny. This collective, grassroots voice will triumphantly rise above political correctness and intimidation. OUR MISSION
OUR VISIONThe ACT! for America vision:
As a well-informed and well-organized citizen action network, ACT! for America will be the front-line voice for freedom-loving Americans everywhere. 2. ABOUT MS. GABRIEL
3. SHARIA/SHARIAH LAW F.A.Q. Shariah is Islamic law and represents the traditional or “pure” normative interpretation of the Qur’an and teachings of Mohammed, as developed by Shariah scholars and jurists during Islam’s early centuries. It has remained largely unchanged for over 1200 years and is practiced today in these areas:
Implementing Shariah is the agenda of what is often termed Radical Islam or Political Islam. Shariah-driven Islam is a political movement much like communism, in that “true” Muslims are required to relinquish all control of personal, business, family, and religious life to the rulings of Shariah “authorities” (the ‘ulema’ who act as legislators, judges, and law enforcement) in the service of this totalitarian political order. The goal is to wage Jihad (cultural, financial, or violent) to create a one world order, united under Islam, where Church and State are one. No. Newspapers report bloody struggles in Turkey, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand, Egypt, and Jordan between secular liberty-minded Muslims and theocratic Shariah militants. However, as Shariah Islam expands its reach worldwide, polls suggest increasing support for enforcing strict application of Shariah law in Islamic countries: 65% of Egyptians, 76% of Pakistanis, and 49% of Indonesians (www.worldpublicopinion.org). Yet Shariah law silences nearly 750 million women and children. The Reliance of the Traveller, Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law is the authoritative Sunni Shariah rulebook (available at www.Barnesandnoble.com).
The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) was formed in the 1920s by Shariah advocates to create a one-world nation-state under Shariah Islamic law. Today, they are in 70+ countries. The Brotherhood works hand-in-hand with the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), a 57-member Muslim-majority block in the UN. Their 1982 plan to invade and conquer the West was discovered in Nov. 2001 (see Patrick Poole’s article at www.frontpagemag.com) Below are some of the tactics recommended in the Muslim Brotherhood’s “Project” (see the English translation in Patrick Poole’s article in www.frontpagemag.com):
Only Shariah authorities (the ‘ulema’) can issue fatwas or legal rulings and only they can interpret Shariah. As Shariah authorities, they authorize, direct, and condone Jihad actions. The mandate that “true” Muslims carry out their fatwas ensures that these authorities can distance themselves from actual acts of terror. Recent fatwas by Shariah authorities resulted in a) the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, b) rioting following the publication of the Danish Mohammad cartoons, and c) the attacks in New York (Sep. 2001), London (Jul. 2007), Madrid (Mar. 2004), and Mumbai (Jan. 2009). “Creeping Shariah” refers to the incremental adoption of Shariah, in which a single example seems harmless, but taken together, represents a pattern of intention. No-Go Zones. 751 no-go zones in France where police have turned over control to “religious enforcement” following threats of violence. Girls without Islamic clothing have reportedly been raped. Non-Muslim citizens are urged to stay out. Zones exist in Denmark, the Netherlands, and the UK. Shariah Courts. 2008: Official recognition of five courts in the UK and one in Texas, USA, with lobbying to create greater legitimization and authority in Minnesota, New Jersey, and California. The intent is to set up parallel courts, in lieu of secular courts and their judgments, in family and business law. Assault on Freedom of Speech. Feb. 2009: Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders prosecuted for hate speech for his 15-minute film, Fitna. Books Destroyed. July 2007: Cambridge University Press destroyed its print run of Alms for Jihad: Charity and Terrorism in the Islamic World in reaction to Saudi threats of a slander lawsuit. Children’s Rights. Mar. 2008: UK reports epidemic of forced child marriages. 2008: Texas father murders teenage daughters for adopting a Western lifestyle. Women’s Rights. 2008: Successful lobbying for polygamy in Canada and UK; Holland recognizes polygamous marriages. 2009: Buffalo NY, USA. Muslim leader decapitates his wife after she filed for divorce. Honor killing is justified under Shariah law. Saudi Hate Curriculum. The Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA) in Virginia, remains open, despite reports of hate-filled curricula, according to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Shariah (also “Shari’a”) Finance is a powerful economic tool of Political Islam, disguised as a harmless religious method of investing for Muslims. Western investment firms like Citigroup, HSBC, Dow Jones, UBS, and AIG have created Islamic banks within their corporate structures, hiring Shariah Authorities or Imams to manage this new entity with full discretion. Their ultimate goal is to create a global Islamic nation (umma) wherein both Muslims and non-Muslims are under Islamic sovereignty. These Shariah “scholars” use all forms of Jihad (aggressive and stealth) to further their goal. Shariah Finance is the most insidious and effective form of stealth Jihad.Al-Jihad bi-al-Mal, which literally means Jihad with money (mal, Arabic for money) or Financial Jihad. There are 8 categories of Zakat (Arabic for charity) according to Shariah, all of which are meant to build allegiance to Islam worldwide. While four of these categories help the poor, the others support Jihad. The 7th category of Zakat is defined in the Reliance of the Traveler, the Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law (Umdat Al-Salik), p. 272, as follows: “those fighting for Allah, meaning people engaged In Islamic military operations for whom no salary has been allotted in the army, or volunteers for Jihad without remuneration. They are given enough to suffice them for the operation, even if affluent: of weapons, mounts, clothing, and expenses.” This explains why the U.S. Government has classified 27 Islamic charities as terror organizations, with the Holy Land Foundation in Dallas, Texas the most recently convicted of financing terror-jihad (2008). These charities have innocuous-sounding names like Union of Good, and Benevolence International Foundation, and Care International. Yes. Depositing our money with banks and companies that sell Shariah Investments is giving these firms capital to grow their Shariah businesses overseas, which is, in turn, used to direct oil money to destroy America’s constitutional republic, liberty, values, and way of life. Here are four of the most sought-after “Shari’a Authorities” in the industry, all of whom are highly paid to sit on individual corporate bank Shariah Advisory Boards. Each also sits on the AAOIFI (Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions) Board, an international body that parallels western regulatory agencies. Incredibly, the SEC embraced the legitimacy and members of the AAOIFI. Boards: AAOIFI; Bank Al-Taqwa (shut down 2001 by U.S. TSY for terror funding)
Quotable Quotes: "Allah Almighty is just; through his infinite wisdom he has given the weak a weapon the strong do not have, and that is their ability to turn their bodies into bombs as Palestinians do." “The most important form of jihad today….is to rebuild Islamic society and state….in the political, cultural and economic domains. This is certainly most deserving of Zakat.” Boards: Chairman of AAOIFI; HSBC, Dow Jones, Citigroup, Guidance Financial
Quotable Quote: Usmani writes “Killing is to continue until the unbelievers pay jiziah (a subjugation tax) after they are humbled or overpowered.” (Islam and Modernism, 2006) Boards: AAOIFI; AIG, HSBC, Citigroup
Boards: AAOIFI; IFSB, Barclays Capital, Shariah Capital, Dow Jones, Guidance International
The marketing materials of these firms focus on two seemingly harmless details of “Islamic” investing 1) limited "interest income" and 2) un-Islamic banned “sin” industries of alcohol and gambling. Therefore, investment firms describe Shariah finance as “interest-free,” “ethical,” and “socially responsible” investing. Quotable Quotes: AIG: The Introduction of Takaful (Shariah insurance) products in the U.S. represents.…emerging growth opportunity for AIG Commercial Insurance. We are pleased to offer socially responsible solutions….to the domestic market.” (AIG Press Release, 2008) HSBC: Amana Takaful Fund: “ We invest in assets…that are acceptable within the socially and environmentally acceptable principles of Shariah….managed through the…ethical principles of Shariah.” (www.hsbcamanah.com, Feb 2009) BLACKSTONE: “Blackstone Shariah Finance presents you with an ethical alternative” (http://www.black-stone.co.uk/test/Shariah_finance.html, April 2009) Yes. There is no disclosure about these issues:
Yes. Leaders include Congresspersons Sue Myrick, Frank Wolf, Paul Broun, and Tom Tancredo and Senator Jon Kyl. Quotable Quotes: Myrick/Wolf to AIG CEO, Dec. 08: "you may defend your decision to offer Shariah products and will probably state that they have no real ties to Shariah Law, and therefore, pose no threat. You are wrong. " Join ACT! for America, a grassroots organization (56,000 members in 260 chapters) dedicated to focusing Congress on Islamic extremism in America. |
