Stop Backing Down in the Face of Domestic Islamic Threats and Intimidation

The above title and the following excerpt describes one of my prescriptions for winning World War III with the Muslim jihadists. They will appear in my forthcoming book, Lessons from Fallen Civilizations, Vol. II. There is an overarching reason why the FBI and U.S. law enforcement agencies missed the chance to stop the Boston Marathon bombers, the Fort Hood shooter, the San Bernardino and Orlando assassins who were easily identifiable jihadists. As mandated by our Commander in Chief, they have been taught not to understand who the enemy is and what he believes.

(Excerpt)…In addition to putting foreign terrorists and their state sponsors on notice that the U.S. was now on offense, future presidents would want to reverse the trend set during the Obama years which saw an administration acquiescing to the constant charges of “Islamophobia” and backing down to myriad threats from its own resident Muslims living in the U.S.

Robert Spencer in his recent pamphlet, 10 Things America Must Do to Defend Itself Against the Global Jihad, cites a compelling example of how, in 2011, America-based jihadists allied with a leftist media, were able to stymie the FBI from its mission to find and interdict Muslim terrorist plots inside the U.S. Spencer Ackerman, writing for Wired Magazine, got ahold of FBI training material, which forthrightly characterized the jihadist threat as emanating from devout Islamic teaching and thought. In his piece, FBI Teaches Agents; Mainstream Muslims are Violent, Radical, Ackerman quoted from the FBI training manual, “Any war against non-believers is justified under Muslim law; a moderating process cannot happen if the Koran continues to be regarded as the unalterable words of Allah.”

To this Robert Spencer added, “Like virtually all leftist and Islamic critiques of anti-jihad and anti-terror material, Ackerman took for granted that such assertions were false, without bothering to explain how or why.” Americans who had spent any time at all analyzing the building threat from supremacist/jihadist Islam knew that the FBI’s assertion was true.

Nevertheless, based on Ackerman’s expose, nearly all indigenous American Muslim advocacy groups vigorously took up the cause to expunge all linkage between terrorism and Islam from U.S. law enforcement training materials and procedures. A letter was sent to John Brennan, then Assistant to the President on National Security, denouncing any and all allusions to Islam and Muslim culture in the training materials as bigoted and false and demanded that they be deleted. The letter was signed by fifty-seven Muslim and Arab organizations up and running inside the U.S. including CAIR, ISNA, MAS, all of which had ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Brennan complied without a whimper of protest. In November of 2011, he wrote back to them that the Obama administration would create an interagency task force to address the problem. It would collect all training materials and purge all references to Islam and, by so doing, purge them of any discussion of how jihadists used Islamic thought and teachings to justify violence. He promised to replace law enforcement’s cautious approach with willful ignorance.

Brennan was subsequently promoted to CIA Director after former General Petraeus was forced to resign for providing his lover and biographer some classified information. (His crime was far less egregious than were those of Hillary Clinton’s, given that the information was not sent out of over an insecure server and because his biographer had a security clearance.) By early 2016, numerous reports surfaced exposing the facts that not only did Brennan play a role in making up and disseminating the false talking points regarding the source of the Benghazi attacks, but that he played a role in the in the Obama administration’s decision to read the Miranda rights to Umar Abdulmutallab, the so called “underwear bomber” who tried to destroy a civilian airliner over Detroit on Christmas day. And finally, it came to light that Brenan was overseeing a plan to base CIA recruitment and promotions on racial, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, and other quotas…rather than on merit and ability.

The future president should signal that he would not be intimidated nor would he attempt to appease any foreign power, even if it came in the form of militant, supremacist Islam. Further, all law enforcement and national security materials would be the express property of the American people and not subject to the demands of outside forces. He could further heartily support a bill in Congress which would make it illegal to operate an organization which was linked in any way to the Muslim Brotherhood until it changed its charter which still called for the destruction of Israel and the eventual overthrow of the U.S. by the armies of Allah and the replacement of the U.S. Constitution with Sharia law.

Additionally, the new president could order a top-secret, bottom-to-top audit of the CIA and all other Homeland Security agencies, aimed at uncovering all those employees, agents, and especially agency heads who held a fealty to multiculturalism and political correctness, and who operated under the assumption that it was more important than the protection of the homeland, our overseas deployed soldiers and allies. All those found wanting in this category would be fired, with Brennan, if he were still employed, the first order of business…
