“Jihad Denial Syndrome” Exposed
Dear Fred,
The facts are emerging. The warning signs were there. Story after story is
breaking new information. Even some in the “establishment media,” such as ABC
News, have produced news segments revealing the evidence that Nidal Hasan was a
radical Islamist.
The FBI had seen warning signs. So had the CIA and the Joint Terrorism Task
Force. Numerous fellow officers had witnessed Hasan make statements, even
during presentations he gave, that should have set off alarm bells.
Some of the latest news to come out is that Hasan had been in communication
with an al Qaeda imam — and authorities knew it and dismissed Hasan’s contacts
with the conclusion that he was doing “research” for a thesis!
The tapestry of jihad being pieced together has prompted Senate Homeland
Security Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman to call for hearings to investigate
who knew what, when, and why action was not taken.
How is it possible that so many warning signs and red flags were ignored,
rationalized, or dismissed?
There are at least two reasons.
The first is that too many in leadership in our country, whether in government,
the military, or counterterrorism, do not want to connect the dots between the
jihadist ideology, so clearly permeating the holy books of Islam, and the act
of jihad.
ACT! has been exposing this failure ever since its founding. Dr. Walid Phares,
during his presentation at the American Congress for Truth webcast conference
“Radical Islam’s Threat to America” (held this past Saturday), stated
astonishingly that eight years after 9/11 there is still widespread denial in
our government about who the enemy is and why the enemy acts as he does.
This may help explain why, on the day of the Ft. Hood massacre, the FBI
released a statement declaring “this was not a terrorist act.” How could they
“rush to judgment” with such a faulty claim so quickly?
Answer: “Jihad Denial Syndrome.”
The second reason is linked to the first, which we discussed in our email alert
yesterday — a culture of political correctness.
College campuses, Hollywood and television, and much of the “establishment
media” are principal drivers of this culture of political correctness. In this
worldview, there is a denial of fact and evidence that literally boggles the
mind.
Our jihadist enemies throughout the world don’t hide the jihadist ideology —
they celebrate it. It’s there for all the world to see — if it wants to. Too
many of our leaders don’t want to.
Another enforcer of this political correctness is organizations like CAIR, the
Council on American-Islamic Relations. For years CAIR has bullied, browbeat,
intimidated and smeared anyone who dares to speak the truth about radical
Islam. (See our petition calling for a government investigation of CAIR.)
Last Thursday night, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad denounced the violence
— and then emphasized that this had nothing to do with Islam.
So did other representatives of other Islamist organizations.
In other words, they didn’t denounce the Islamist, jihadist ideology that led
to the violence. Indeed, they in effect denied such an ideology existed. Awad
was crystal clear when he stated, falsely, that no religion or ideology could
justify such an atrocity.
And in doing so these Islamist enforcers of political correctness fired a
warning shot across the bow of the media, the military and the government. They
were making it clear that politically correct “Jihad Denial Syndrome” must be
adhered to.
Eleven days ago ACT! for America launched a national petition calling for a
government investigation of CAIR, due to the mounting revelations of CAIR
misdeeds and ties to terrorist organizations.
This petition is even more important now, in the aftermath of Ft. Hood. Why?
Because America can no longer afford to be held hostage to a politically
correct “Jihad Denial Syndrome” by a terrorist-tainted organization like CAIR.
This is why we continue to urge you, if you haven’t already done so, to sign
our petition calling for a government investigation of CAIR.
Senator Lieberman is doing the right thing by convening hearings to investigate
the Ft. Hood terrorist act.
We can’t change the culture of political correctness overnight, or the “Jihad
Denial Syndrome” that political correctness has helped spawn.
But we are not powerless. There are actions we can take.
Join us today in signing the petition calling for a government investigation of
CAIR.
One talk show host said this morning that political correctness can be
annoying, even silly, but at Ft. Hood it was deadly.
