===============================
Special Note:
A special note to UnitedStatesAction.com news readers: as some of you may be aware, the white supremacist and Neo-Nazi crowd is not happy with our ideological challenge to their upcoming "American Renaissance" conference, not unlike our challenge to Hizb ut-Tahrir's Chicago conference last July. The white supremacist and Neo-Nazi crowd is continuing to issue threats to me, and continuing to make claims about me on the Internet. Our position in challenging all ideologies of hate used to justify terrorist actions has and continues to be a key focus of UnitedStatesAction.com since the days after 9/11 when we started. This is nothing new. Moreover, our AgainstNazi.com website has been up for 6 years. Just as we have challenged Jihadists, we have challenged all ideologies of hate. Any who want to unsubscribe, let me know. Otherwise, we plan to continue to do exactly what we have said we would do, and what we urge you to do.
Fear No Evil. We Are Not Afraid.

"U.S. torn over whether some Islamists offer insight or pose threat"
-- Dallas Morning News reports on ISNA's Louis Safi aka "Louay Safi" (executive director, ISNA Leadership Development Center - ILDC)
http://www.isna.net/Leadership/pages/Chaplaincy-Council.aspx
--- Comment: Note the use of term "Islamist" rather than "Islamic supremacist" allows this to be viewed as "question"
-- Dallas Morning News: "But Fort Hood gunman Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan wasn't the only one working on a Texas Army base the day of the shooting who had links to radical Islamists."
-- "At Fort Bliss, an experienced military trainer was teaching soldiers about his Muslim faith. He, too, had denounced government counterterrorism efforts, and public records show he and some of his closest associates had ties to terrorism suspects."
-- "But when The Dallas Morning News first inquired about the instructor, Louay Safi, military officials praised him. Only later did they say that Safi had been suspended from working on military bases pending a continuing criminal inquiry."
-- "The Safi affair reveals the deep divisions within the U.S. government over how to combat terrorism and over what constitutes moderate Islam."
-- "Some believe insight into Islamist thinking can be gained only by engaging a wide range of people in North America's close-knit Muslim community, where leaders may well have ties to extremists – ties that do not necessarily signal alliances or support. Others argue that engagement should be limited or shunned to avoid legitimizing radicals or embarrassing the government."
-- "Safi has called the widespread raids on Muslim organizations after 9/11 'a campaign against Islam' – a term that 9/11 Commission director Philip Zelikow says is part of 'the jihadi narrative.'"
-- DMN report describes how American Enterprise Institute (AEI) "has worked alongside Safi"
-- "Zuhdi Jasser is a Navy veteran who founded the American Islamic Forum for Democracy and has spoken publicly about the dangers of politicizing Islam. He said Safi's 'separatist mindset of the world against Muslims' is the 'mindset that created Hasan.'"
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/stories/DN-NUsafi_07pro.ART1.State.Edition2.4be96ce.html
-- DMN report also states "Prosecutors put ISNA on a long list of unindicted co-conspirators, contending it was among groups that 'are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood.'"
-- See ISNA as part of Holy Land Foundation unindicted co-conspirator organizations
