News Summary
Lawful Islamism is a radical and
supremacist interpretation of Islam that seeks to incrementally destroy
Western society from within and replace it with a Sharia-compliant theocracy
-- culturally and politically rather than violently. Methodically and
patiently. With words not bullets. Activism not bombs. Flying under the
radar, these Islamists exploit our Constitutional freedoms to undermine American
and Western values of religious pluralism, women's rights, equality under the
law and free speech.
The goals of Lawful Islamists and Islamic
terrorists are the same. Only their methods differ.

Northern New Jersey
is a close second to Dearborn, MI when it comes to Islamist activity. New
Jersey Governor Chris Christie (left) and Congressman Bill Pascrell
(center, campaign poster) are deep in the cesspool of Islamist influence.
Both have assisted Mohammad Qatanani (right), imam of the Islamic Center of
Passaic County (ICPC), evade deportation to Israel, where he was convicted
of supporting the terror group Hamas.

Northern New Jersey is thought to have the second largest concentration of
Muslims in America, second only to Dearborn, Michigan outside Detroit. Well
organized and financed, Islamism has seeped into New Jersey politics, where
politicians are fiercely loyal to their constituent-patrons – including Hamas
supporter Imam Mohammad Qatanani of the Islamic Center of Passaic County
(ICPC). New Jersey politicians are helping Qatanani avoid deportation to
Israel, where he was convicted of being a member of the terror group Hamas.
- "Troubling
Islamist Associations for NJ Democrat," by Joel Mowbray.
FrontPage Magazine, June 5, 2012. (Last week, in a Democratic
primary for a newly drawn New Jersey Congressional district, incumbent
Rep. Bill Pascrell trounced
fellow incumbent Rep. Steve Rothman, 61 percent to 39 percent. One of
Pascrell's closest allies is Mohamed El Filali, an executive with the
ICPC, whose founding imam is in jail on terrorism charges and whose
current imam is fighting deportation on terror-related grounds. A
Pascrell supporter claims the Congressman raised over $100,00 from the
Arab/Muslim community. What could go wrong?)
- Last month, Daniel Pipes and Steve Emerson documented
New Jersey Governor Chris
Christie's Islamist Problem in the National Review. Like
Pascrell, Christie's political power base is northern New Jersey and
Christie is associated with the same circle of Islamist figures,
including the ICPC. Andrew C. McCarthy recently wrote an extensive
analysis of the Governor's conservative credentials and concluded Christie
Is Not One Of Us.

Wolf (R-Virginia) (center) has provided courageous leadership in Washington
against Justice Department ties to Hamas-linked CAIR. Despite an FBI ban on
cooperation with CAIR, White House official George Selim (right) admits to
"hundreds" of federal department and agency meetings with CAIR.

Government
Relations With Hamas-linked CAIR
Profile in Cowardice: George Selim, White
House Director for Community Partnerships:
- "Obama
Administration admits to 'hundreds' of meetings with jihad-linked
group," by Neil Munro. The Daily Caller, June 8,
2012. ("There is (sic) hundreds of examples of departments and
agencies that meet with CAIR on a range of issues," said George
Selim, the White House's Director for Community Partnerships. In
response, terrorism expert Steve Emerson said: "It's an outrage
that the Administration empowers such bad actors and ignores the
courageous moderate Muslims who stand up to these self-anointed
hucksters." After admitting the ties, Selim and his deputy, Adnan
Kifayat, berated the Daily Caller for recording the interview and
accused the paper of committing a felony.)
Profile in Courage: Congressman Frank Wolf
(R-Virginia):
- "House
report urges Justice Dept. to cut ties with CAIR," by
Caroline May. The Daily Caller, May 14, 2012. (The Fiscal Year
2013 Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations Bill, which recently
passed the House, contains in its Committee Report (a separate public
document that spells out how agencies are expected to spend the money
allocated to them) a recommendation that Attorney General Eric Holder
follow in the FBI's footsteps and sever all Justice Department ties with
CAIR. The bill was sponsored by Congressman
Frank Wolf (R-Virginia). You can thank him using this form and
entering zip code 22603-2323.
- Based in part on pressure from Congressman Wolf, the Justice
Department Inspector General is investigating interactions
between FBI field offices and CAIR. The review will determine if these
interactions were in compliance with FBI policy and guidance that
restricts certain interactions with CAIR. "For the administration
to be meeting with these people is disappointing and shocking,"
Congressman Wolf said.
Hidden Voices – Anti-Islamist Muslims
- "The
Evolution of an Anti-Islamist Muslim," by Qanta Ahmed,
M.D. The Huffington Post, June 3, 2012. ("I learned unlike
my own experience, many Muslims struggled with a pervasive sense of
inferiority influencing all their beliefs, sense of justice and
identities leading to deep and rather novel resentments. The fascist
supremacy of Islamist ideologues was therefore a predictably
appealing, if very frightening development, which, to my perspective was
completely alien to the Islam I knew. … Throughout the world, the
Islamists' goal is one and the same: to stoke the fires of unwitting
Muslims into believing in their own manufactured sense of victimhood as
a means to exploit both the uninformed Muslim and, often times, the
liberal democracies where we make our homes. … It is this last fallacy,
of collective victimhood, that most fuels my drive to expose Islamism
for what it is – a weak yet vicious imposter for a great
religion, an imposter which seeks to exploit and devour both Muslims and
non Muslims in its pursuit for power and dominance.")
- In 2010, Dr. Ahmed made an astute observation about
the role of Palestinians in preventing the Muslim world from examining
its own maladies. "Israel
and the Flotilla: On the Dangers of a Binary View," by
Qanta Ahmed, M.D. The Huffington Post, June 20, 2010. ("Palestinians
are now objectified political pawns, rather than a people. … We the
Muslims need the Palestinians to remain locked in their plight so that
they might continue to serve as the Ummah's scotoma (a blind-spot) which
literally prevents us from seeing our own more immediate distresses,
distresses which might demand our attention and perhaps even require
societal interventions. We would be lost, disarmed, and stunned without
an external locus for our rage which is so piercingly trained on Gaza
and the West Bank, so piercing in fact that Darfur barely warrants a
sidelong glance.")
The Fall of Europe
- "Europe's
Witch Hunt," by Giulio Meotti. FrontPage Magazine,
June 6th, 2012. ("Princeton University's Bernard Lewis once told
the German daily Die Welt that 'Europe will be Islamic by the end of the
century.' We are already living through the self-extinction of European
civilization." Journalists and writers who shed light on the true
nature of Islamism are treated as refugees in their own countries,
prisoners in their own houses.)
- "How
Politically Correct Liberals Left a Muslim Gang Free to Rape British
Girls," by Mike McNally, the PJ Tatler. Pajamas Media,
May 18, 2012. (Nine men were recently jailed in Britain for raping and
abusing dozens of girls aged as young as 13 over a period of several
years. These would be horrific crimes under any circumstances. But the
case had an added dimension: All of the rapists were Muslims, and all of
their victims were white. Many liberals in the media, politics, and the
criminal justice system, charged with guarding the flame of
multiculturalism, are falling over themselves to deny that
"race" – a term used to downplay the religious aspect – had
anything to do with it. Politically correct attitudes to all things
"racial" among the relevant authorities meant the victims'
ordeals went on for years longer than might have been the case. When the
victims first reported abuse to authorities, the police and prosecutors
failed to act because, it's claimed, they were "petrified of being
called racist.")

in the UK," by Mark Tapson. FrontPage Magazine,

Lawfare – Islamist Assault on the NYPD
- "A
Lawsuit Only Jihadists Could Love," by Robert Spencer. FrontPage
Magazine, June 8, 2012. (A group of New Jersey Islamists – New
Jersey? Shocking! – filed
a lawsuit against the NYPD over its successful
counter-terrorism surveillance program targeting Islamist businesses and
mosques. The lawsuit comes after a three month-long investigation by the
New Jersey State Attorney cleared the NYPD of any wrongdoing. When all
else fails, Islamist supremacists file costly lawsuits to intimidate and
silence their critics. Even an unsuccessful suit can cost defendants
millions in attorney fees. The Middle East Forum's Legal Project
helps defend victims of Islamist lawfare.
Dhimmitude – Subservience to Muslims
- "Under
Allah with Sharia for All," by Janet Levy. American
Thinker, June 2, 2012. ("The largest potential pool of
terrorists gets a pass from security officials, while non-Muslims are
victimized by overzealous surveillance measures that were not in place
until the largest attack on American soil in history, perpetrated by
Muslims in the name of Allah. When the rights and feelings of Muslims
matter more than those of non-Muslims, law enforcement is forced to put
the "civil liberties" of a designated group -- Muslims -- and
their religious accommodations above national security, thereby
hindering law enforcement's ability to collect vital intelligence on
potential threats.")
