Embattled Muslim aide to leave Pentagon job: Heshem Islam’s “resume didn’t add up”
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008by Jerry Gordon
At last, the truth about Heshem Islam, Muslim outreach aide to Defense Secretary Islam comes out. As we predicted his embroidered resume did not stand up to the light of day and he was asked to vacate his post at the Pentagon.
Our friend Stephen Coughlin, the Pentagon’s lone Islamic Law and Jihad Military doctrine expert is vindicated and will begin a new assignment at the conclusion of his current Joint staff agreement with the Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD). Perhaps the coups de grace for Mr. Islam were the revelations of Steve Emerson’s Investigative Project report that Islam had met with Syrian radicals and members of a Muslim Brotherhood front group in violation of national security.
Bravo to Bill Gertz of the Washington Times, Claudia Rosset of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy and Steve Emerson of The Investigative Project on Terrorism. Diane West of the Washington Times, Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch and Andy Bostom all played a part in this riveting saga. We trust that we did as well by keeping a focus on the ‘l’affaire Coughlin’.
On the Congressional scene, Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC) head of the bi-partisan Anti-Terror Caucus we are sure played an important role in requesting DoD answers about Coughlin.
Now for the ultimate woodshed discussion between SECDEF Bob Gates and Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England resulting in the latter’s retirement for ‘good services’.
We hope that the National Defense Intelligence University proceeds with the publication of Coughlin’s important thesis and that the doctrine of the ‘long war’ will become part of required military training.
This proves that good sense and valued advocacy can win out in the war against cultural Jihad in America.
Now about those Wahhabi Muslim Military Chaplains? (more…)
