MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

“WASHINGTON (AP) — Muslims in the America aren’t cooperating enough with law enforcement to counter the radicalization of young followers by al-Qaeda-linked groups, said a House leader on terrorism issues, renewing debate about religion’s role in motivating extremists and what the United States can do without alienating the Islamic world.

Rep. Peter T. King, New York Republican, who is chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, asserted that al Qaeda terrorists are targeting Muslim youth in this country, previewing his hearing Thursday on the extent of the problem and the Muslim community’s response.

‘The overwhelming majority of Muslims are outstanding Americans, but at this stage in our history there’s an effort … to radicalize elements within the Muslim community,’ he said in an interview broadcast Sunday.

‘It’s there, and that’s where the threat is coming from at this time,’ Mr. King said.”  Read more.

“The popular revolts in Egypt and Tunisia have brought Hamas back to life, the French news agency AFP quoted the group’s political chief Khaled Meshal as saying on Sunday, adding that Hamas and Fatah must join forces in a jihad against Israel.

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted by recent popular protests last month, was seen by Hamas as aiding Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip – which Hamas has controlled since a bloody coup in 2007 – due to the fact that it sealed off its shared border with the coastal enclave.

Speaking in the Al-Quds International Foundation conference in Sudan on Sunday, Meshal was quoted by AFP as saying that the ‘people in Egypt and Tunisia have given us back our lives.’ …”  Read more.

Shariah: The Threat to America
Center for Security Policy
Executive Summary

In 1976, the then-Director of Central Intelligence, George H. W. Bush, commissioned an “Experiment in Competitive Analysis.” Its purpose was to expose to critical scrutiny the assumptions and factual basis underpinning the official assessment of the totalitarian ideology that confronted America at the time: Soviet Communism. That official assessment was rooted in the belief that, through a policy of engagement known as détente, the United States and the USSR could not only avoid horrifically destructive conflicts, but could peacefully coexist permanently.

DCI Bush invited a group of known skeptics about détente to review the classified National Intelligence Estimates and other data concerning Soviet objectives, intentions and present and future military capabilities. The object was to provide an informed second opinion on the U.S. policy toward the Kremlin that was, ostensibly, warranted in light of such information. The conclusions of this experimental initiative — which came to be known popularly as the “Team B” study — differed sharply from those of “Team A”: the Ford Administration and the intelligence community.

“Note to Barack: ‘Allahu akbar’ is a Muslim war cry.

U.S. troops are gunned down by a shooter who screams ‘Allahu akbar!’ before opening fire. Official statements are rushed out: The perpetrator was a lone wolf; his motive was unclear; there are no links to terrorism. Sound familiar? It should, because when Islam is the cause of American tragedy, President Obama hides his head in the sand.

On Wednesday, a young Kosovar named Arif Uka opened fire on a bus load of U.S. Air Force personnel in Frankfurt, Germany, killing two and wounding two more. Witnesses say he repeatedly shouted the jihadist battle cry, ‘Allahu akbar’ as he emptied his weapon and screamed ‘Jihad! Jihad!’ when tackled by German police. Uka’s victims had been heading to the fight in Afghanistan but because the jihadists have a global battlespace, the war came to them instead.

Mr. Obama made a typical noncommittal statement shortly after the shooting, saying it was a ‘stark reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices that our men and women in uniform are making all around the world to keep us safe, and the dangers that they face all around the globe.’ He made no mention of the nature of the threat or the reason for the sacrifices. In this respect, he was behaving true to form.”  Read more.
