UTT had an interesting exchange on
twitter this weekend with Sherifa Zuhur, an apologist for America’s
enemies – specifically, terrorist organizations.
Amid the social upheaval in response to
President Trump’s travel ban from seven Islamic countries, fomented by
the hard left Marxist/socialist groups and their anti-American
counterparts – jihadi groups like Hamas (doing business as CAIR), ISNA,
and others – UTT feels it is important to share this experience publicly
because Americans need to know what they are up against and what to expect as this war in America goes forward.
The exchange began in response to UTT’s
(@UTT_USA) tweet: “No surprise – SecState Madeleine Albright sides w/
our enemy & not America…” Albright publicly stated
she is ready to register as a Muslim in response to President Trump’s
call to ban Muslim immigration into the United States from certain
nations.
UTT’s Vice President Chris
Gaubatz received a response from Zuhur (@SherifaZuhur) which read:
“Chris, Muslims aren’t your enemy,” to whit Mr. Gaubatz (@CAIRvGaubatz)
responded with: “Agreed; only Muslims that adhere to Quran & Sunnah
as embodied in the shariah.”
Zuhur then responded with: “Then that’s all of us.”
Your words not ours Ms. Zuhur, but thanks
for making UTT’s point that it is a requirement for all Muslims to
adhere to sharia which calls for jihad until the entire world is under
Islamic rule.
UTT does not teach all Muslims are the
enemy of the United States. However, 100% of our enemy in the Global
Islamic Movement state they are Muslims waging jihad to establish a
global Islamic state (caliphate) under sharia. The
delineating factor is sharia. Not every person who self-identifies as a
Muslim wants to live under sharia or follow sharia, but 100% of our
enemy in this war does. 100% of authoritative sharia obliges jihad, and
defines jihad as “warfare against non-muslims.” The
problem is two-fold: (1) Any Muslim who does not want to follow sharia
can decide to follow sharia at any time – especially when threatened
with violence from other Muslims; (2) Sharia obliges Muslims to lie if the goal is obligatory, and jihad is obligatory.
Therein lies the problem – there is
simply no way to determine which Muslims are our friends and which are
not. In fact, the only Muslims who are potential friends of the United
States are those who do not follow the Quran and Sunnah, as embodied in
the sharia, which makes Ms. Zuhur’s reply all the more telling.
UTT would not waste your time in sharing this exchange if that were the end of the story.
Dr. Sherifa Zuhur is not just some random
Muslim on twitter who defends sharia and designated terrorist groups.
Zuhur is a former professor (2006-2009) at the U.S. Army War College’s
Strategic Studies Institute who continues to be accepted in academic
circles and was recently at the University of California at Berkley.
In April of 2008, Zuhur published a monograph called, “Precision in the Global War on Terror: Inciting Muslims through the War of Ideas.” In
this publication, Zuhur warns against attacking the ideology of groups
like Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Salafists, and the Muslim Brotherhood
because that would necessarily be attacking Islamic ideology.
Exactly. In this regard, UTT agrees
because Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Boko Haram, ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood,
and all jihadi organizations on the planet draw their doctrine from
sharia. It is the basis for why they act – and they tell us so. And so does Dr. Zuhur.
Sharia does not exist in a vacuum.
Sharia comes from the Quran and the Sunnah, and last time UTT checked,
the Quran and Sunnah are wholly Islamic. As we say at UTT – it’s all about sharia.
The following are direct quotes (in bold) from Dr. Zuhur’s monograph followed by UTT’s comments:
“To restore justice, Muslims
want the shari`ah, Islamic law, to be implemented and that, in turn,
must be utilized with justice. This contrasts with radicals who think
that violence is the only means to secure real social and political
change, even if they also are motivated to implement shari`ah.”
The Global Islamic Movement has many lines of operations
including suit/skirt wearing jihadis like ISNA, CAIR, ICNA, MAS, MSA,
Dr. Zuhur and others who point to the violent jihadis and say something
to the effect of “Well, at least we are not Al Qaeda or ISIS. We’re
moderates.” The violent jihadis use their attacks and threats to drive
weak Western leaders/nations into the arms of the suit/skirt-wearing
jihadis.
“Bin Ladin and Zawahiri
generally refer to bona fide religious concepts. But, my point is that
Sayyid Qutb possessed religious and philosophical credentials that
should not be ignored. To blame him for global jihad is a convenient way
of discounting the impact of other salafists (from the Wahhabist sect),
and further implying that the violent radical leaders who followed him
read or understood his earlier proposal that an Islamic society could be
created through a “social revolution” and education. It is also a
significant way of discrediting the Muslim Brotherhood.”
Not much comment needed here. Dr. Zuhur
admits the leaders of Al Qaeda are correctly sighting sharia in
furtherance of what they are doing. In addition, neither Al Qaeda nor
ISIS have misquoted sharia in furtherance of their actions.
“To bin Ladin, the
Muslim-only policy at Mecca and Medina extends to the entire country of
Saudi Arabia, indeed to the entire Arabian peninsula. What policymakers
should understand is that quite a number of other Muslims agree with bin
Ladin’s views.”
Many muslims do agree with the views and
objectives of Osama bin Laden as well as ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood
and other Islamic organizations/groups, because these are commands from
allah repeated by their prophet Mohammad as “perfect” behavior for all
Muslims to follow. Did we mention Al Qaeda is a terrorist organization?
“U.S. Government agencies,
the defense community, and security research centers have made far too
much of the Caliphate. By denouncing it, they are trouncing on Muslims’
idealized history and institutions.”
Muslims who want a caliphate here in the United States –
which according to Dr. Zuhur is all Muslims – are enemies of the United
States. America is a Constitutional Republic and Americans will keep it
using all means necessary. Muslims who want to live under a caliphate
can go to sharia-governed lands in ISIS-held territory. Working to
establish one here is a violation of federal law, and an act that
constitutes war against our Constitution and way of life.
“Those media spokespersons
most often vilifying terrorists with the label “Islamofascist” often go
on to identify this phenomenon with those who wish to follow shari`ah
(Islamic law) and live within a Caliphate, as if these two very
important Islamic institutions are proof of poisonous terror and
fascism. The overwhelming majority of Muslims would disagree with this
vilification of their holy law and historic form of government.”
Since ALL jihadi organizations (Al Qaeda,
ISIS, the MB, et al) continue to state publicly and in their internal
documents their end goal is a global caliphate under sharia law and that
it must be achieved via any means possible including political warfare
and violence, and since Dr. Zuhur is defending that position, how are
rational readers able to discern between Dr. Zuhur’s position and ISIS’s
position?
“Apostasy is a crime
pertaining only to Muslims. It should not—according to classical
interpretations of Islamic law—be prosecuted unless the apostate admits
his denial of faith. In other words, accusations of apostasy are not
supposed to discourage Muslim opinion and expression.”
Sharia states the punishment for apostasy
is death and the former professor at the U.S. Army War College agrees
it should be prosecuted as such.
“The actions of the American
organization, the Council on American- Islamic Relations, which seeks to
protect Muslims from discrimination or violence, have been labeled “a
cover for terrorism,” and so on. This allows for conflation of
anti-Americanism, and Arab non-salafi groups with Islamist, and violent
Islamist groups.”
This is utter nonsense. CAIR is Hamas. Hamas is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization by the United States Government.
Dr. Zuhur is one of a long line of jihadis and jihadi
apologists in the military university system and on U.S. campuses
teaching “Middle East Studies” and related topic.
Is it any wonder that, with professors
like Dr. Zuhur, the U.S. national security apparatus, and the Joint
Chiefs of Staff under the Bush and Obama administration never identified
our enemy, or even took the time to study the enemy threat doctrine –
sharia?
Should we be surprised that Dr. Zuhur has sided with the Al Qaeda, ISIS, or the Muslim
Brotherhood – specifically Hamas (dba CAIR) – in opposing President
Trump’s ban on immigration from seven Islamic countries?
We at UTT are not surprised, and you should not be either. It
is important for Americans to understand that as President Trump, his
cabinet, and the U.S. national security apparatus begin to dismantle the
jihadi network here in the US, they will be opposed by the hard left
Marxist/socialist groups, their allies in the media, and by the jihadis
themselves.
There will be more crying Senators on television,
hard-left/jihadi marches in the street funded by our enemies, and
demonstrations allegedly about equal rights and equal treatment but
actually excuses for violence, upheaval and revolution.
Americans must know this is coming, get
educated and get prepared. Support the bold leaders in the new
administration and beware of the establishment types who are already
coming to the defense of our enemies.
This war will be won at the local level. Educate your
elected officials and hold them accountable. Ensure your pastors speak
truthfully about this threat and begin educating their flocks.
Encourage your law enforcement leaders to get trained by UTT so they
can map out the jihadi networks in their area and dismantle them,
proactively find jihadis in your neighborhood, and defeat this enemy
from the ground up.
