Issue 8 12.16.09 Sponsored Content: This book takes you undercover to the inside of CAIR, America’s largest Muslim “civil rights groups.” www.muslimmafia.com Stay Informed this Holiday Season Welcome to the 8th issue of the RadicalIslam.org newsletter. Lately we are finding that there is more and more coverage in the news on radical Islam activity in the West. Maybe people are starting to wake up; however, we know there is still lots of work to do. We hope you find the articles below on the Pakistani-American jihad incident this week and last week’s Swiss minaret ban informative. Stay tuned in the new year for many more take action items that will be inspiring, educational and will make a difference. From all of us at RadicalIslam.org, Happy Holidays! We are Here for Jihad Five young men who had attended a small mosque in Alexandria Virginia were arrested in Pakistan, last week, in one of the latest cases of homegrown terror on U.S. soil. According to a recent article in the Washington Post, “the men had contacted extremist organizations, including two with links to al-Qaeda, and proudly told their Pakistani interrogators, 'We are here for jihad.'” One in four young Muslims in America thinks suicide bombings are sometimes justified.

These young men are far from isolated cases ... Swiss Minarets and European Islam by Daniel Pipes What importance has the recent Swiss referendum to ban the building of minarets (spires next to mosques from which the call to prayer is issued)? Some may see the 57.5 to 42.5 percent decision endorsing a constitutional amendment as nearly meaningless. The political establishment being overwhelmingly opposed to the amendment, the ban will probably never go into effect. Only 53.4 percent of the electorate voted, so a mere 31 percent of the whole population endorses the ban. The ban does not address Islamist aspirations, much less Muslim terrorism. It has no impact on the practice of Islam. It prevents neither the building of new mosques nor requires that Switzerland's four existing minarets be demolished. It's also possible to dismiss the vote as the quirky result of Switzerland's unique direct democracy... RadicalIslam.org Needs You Thank you for helping us to make RadicalIslam.org a success.
