Israpundit

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…)

How coincidental for Aaron Klein of WorldNetDaily to report on the dwindling Christian population in Bethlehem (less than 13.5%) at this Christmas in 2007. Doubly so, because he interviewed, Samir Qumsiyeh, cousin of the notorious , Mazin Qumsiyeh -US naturalized citizen and self-proclaimed Palestinian nationalist who routinely calls Israelis “Zionazis.”. I wrote about both Qumsiyehs in a FrontPageMagzine article two years ago entitled “A Tale of two Palestinians”. I had confronted Samir’s cousin Mazin at a gathering of left radical and Palestinian advocate in a liberal Connecticut Protestant church engaging in anti-Israel and anti-war protests. Mazin Qimsiyeh had just been denied tenure as genetics lab director at Yale University’s Medical School because, in part, he had been embroiled in abuse of the email system in a campaign to reveal the names of pro-Israeli student advocates. I asked Mazin why his cousin and others in Bethlehem were being intimated, killed, their lives threatened and property seized in the Bethlehem district by Islamist thugs. (more…)

Read this WorldNetDaily article. Here we have example after example of how Islamists have penetrated our homeland security and intelligence establishment as ‘double agents’. We had been an early advocate for both investigation and reform of the so-called strategic language programs and the indiscriminate hiring of Islamists at the FBI/CIA/EPA and the contractor linguist programs of the US Army Intelligence and Security Command’s billion dollar boondoggle that lead to intelligence disasters in Iraq and here.

Read this WorldNetDaily exclusive report and you’ll wonder how deeply Islamist front men in the US acting as conduits for Saudi terror financiers, Palestinian terror groups and the Muslim Brotherhood have penetrated the campaign coffers of Presidential hopefuls like Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY). While this WND report focuses on Clinton, doubtless we’ll see more reports surface about other leading candidates, both Democratic and GOP, who have taken funds from Muslim groups with shadowy connections to fountains of terror cash abroad and charities here in the U.S. Senator Clinton as the so-called front runner among democrats has had a spotlight thrown on her Federal Campaign finance reports for good reason-given the $850,000 given by American Chinese fraudster, Hsu. So she has become a lightening rod for investigation of her campaign finance war chest. (more…)
