* - Some 50 homegrown jihadists have been arrested thus far this year—four times as many than in any single year since 9/11.
- A radical imam in Detroit was killed in a shootout with the FBI. - Jihadist Nidal Hasan killed 13 in a terrorist attack that was clearly enabled by a climate of political correctness that has taken root in our military and law enforcement establishments. - Just this past week David Headley, arrested in October in Chicago, was charged with participation in last year’s terrorist attack in Mumbai—an arrest that raised this question in a Time magazine article: “Are Pakistani Jihadis Going Global?” - Speaking of “going global,” five young American men, including a dental student at DC’s Howard University, were recently captured in Pakistan. They are suspected of going there to link up with jihadist organizations. Now we read in the story below what the leader of As-Sabiqun, “one of America’s most openly radical Islamist organizations,” has been saying about Nidal Hasan, Iran, and the demise of the United States. * *The political climate in Washington is emboldening jihadists and other radical Islamists in America and throughout the world. Clearly, the acceleration of jihadist actions and words this year reflect that. But as a result, the grassroots awareness in America is growing, as evidenced by polls taken after the Ft. Hood jihadist attack. So take heart—and take action! As Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.* ------------------------------ *Radical Movement's Leader Forecasts America's Demise* *IPT News December 4, 2009 http://www.investigativeproject.org/1553/radical-movements-leader-forecasts-americas-demise * As the spotlight moves away from the Fort Hood massacre, one of America's most openly radical Islamist organizations has taken to the murderer's defense. As-Sabiqun <http://www.sabiqun.net/>, a Washington D.C.-based organization with branches in four other major American cities, released a flyer<http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zr5wuxjqFA0/Sw59ye7g0gI/AAAAAAAAAEA/n5HCksrMUTQ/s1600/Eid+Letter+11.09.png>labeling shooter Nidal Malik Hasan as "victimized" and the "target of psychological warfare." The handout also defended convicted terrorists and suspects. As-Sabiqun has repeatedly predicted the demise of the United States and dreams of <http://www.sabiqun.net/join.html> "the Islamic State of North America no later than 2050." It has openly declared support for terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hizbullah, and even claimed it funded anti-American militants. With concerns growing over radical Islamist propaganda in the United States, As-Sabiqun is one of the leading organizations building a bridge between international Islamism and its developing American counterpart. As-Sabiqun is headquartered in Washington D.C., but has branches<http://www.sabiqun.net/about_us.html>in Oakland, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, and Philadelphia. Its leader, Imam Abdul Alim Musa, is well-known in Islamist circles for spreading anti-American propaganda and militancy. Last weekend, Musa addressed the annual conference of the Muslim Students Association – Persian Speaking group <http://www.msapsg.org/>, a Shia branch of the national Muslim Students Association<http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/84.pdf>primarily for Shia Muslims. There, Musa saluted the Iranian Revolution as the "greatest epic in modern, even ancient history" and urged the students to have patience as the United States collapsed: "Well I'm telling you, it's very simple. I think you got the message now. We're in a big war brothers and sisters. This is as big as it gets for the United States. We are just like it is during the 60s and 70s. So if you're gonna be Muslim, buckle down and be a tough one because in the final analysis the U.S. is finished." Musa was applauded following his conclusion, in which he honored the survival of the Iranian Revolution and its student supporters in the United States: -- $6.4 Billion Stimulus Goes to Phantom Districts http://watchdog.org/2009/11/17/6-4-billion-stimulus-goes-to-phantom-districts/ So, where is that money now? -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
