Andrew McCarthy at The Corner has this…. he says someone should “walk the plank”... I’d prefer tarring and feathering. Do not read the link until you take a stiff drink and separate yourself from your breakables…. Here’s a taste:
It’s been brought to my attention by several reliable sources that the Defense Department has brought Louay Safi to Fort Hood as an instructor, and that he has been lecturing on Islam to our troops in Fort Hood who are about to deploy to Afghanistan. Safi is a top official of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and served as research director at the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT).
Worse, last evening, Safi was apparently permitted to present a check (evidently on behalf of ISNA) to the families of the victims of last month’s Fort Hood massacre. A military source told the blogger Barbarossa at the Jawa Report: “This is nothing short of blood money. This is criminal and the Ft. Hood base commander should be fired right now.”
ISNA was identified by the Justice Department at the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing conspiracy trial as an unindicted co-conspirator. The defendants at that trial were convicted of funding Hamas to the tune of millions of dollars. This should have come as no surprise. ISNA is the Muslim Brotherhood’s umbrella entity for Islamist organizations in the United States. It was established in 1981 to enable Muslims in North America “to adopt Islam as a complete way of life” — i.e., to further the Brotherhood’s strategy of establishing enclaves in the West that are governed by sharia. As I detailed in an essay for the April 20 edition of NR, the Brotherhood’s rally-cry remains, to this day, “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Koran is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.” The Brotherhood’s spiritual guide, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who issued a fatwa in 2004 calling for attacks on American forces in Afghanistan, openly declares that Islam will “conquer America” and “conquer Europe.”
There’s more at the link. This is a cancer and it is metastasizing rapidly. There must be a tipping point somewhere down the road.
We’re not going to get anything done under this administration, that’s for damn sure. What actions they do take will be purely damage control. The one thing to be thankful for is that his predecessor left him and us with a half-decent national security apparatus, which is about the only thing keeping us safe for the moment. The one hope we have is that the next president drops the hammer hard on these psychos.
There must be a tipping point somewhere down the road.
I thought after 9/11 that that was all the tipping point we would need to understand what we were up against, but apparently not. So many people have put their blinders back on that I fear it will take a mushroom cloud over an American city to wake us back up again.
So are we finally allowed to dive headfirst into conclusions? I pray the families pull a Rudy Giuliani and tell this MFer where to stick the money.
That Giuliani moment was the proudest I’ve ever been of a New Yorker.
It’s a problem, and a pattern, and it didn’t start with Obama. The guy who was in charge of vetting Muslim chaplains for the military is currently doing time for terrorism-related crimes.
I’ll find the story if anyone doesn’t believe me, but it might take some time as I don’t believe it was widely reported, for some reason.
