[NEWS.INVESTORS] In berating GOP presidential hopeful Ben Carson
... a neurosurgeon who is under the impression that being brilliant qualifies him to be president....
for suggesting a loyalty test for Moslems seeking high office, CNN host Jake Tapper maintained that he doesn't know a single observant Moslem-American who wants to Islamize America.
Meaning no one's rigged his car with explosives yet.
Tapper doesn't get out much. If he did, chances are he'd run into some of the 51% of Moslems living in the U.S. who just this June told Polling Co. they preferred having "the choice of being governed according to Shariah," or Islamic law. Or the 60% of Moslem-Americans under 30 who told Pew Research they're more loyal to Islam than America.
If your loyalty is to Allah, whose will is interpreted by your local holy man, you're not loyal to the U.S.A., whose structure was laid out by Jefferson and Madison and Hamilton, et al.
Maybe they're all heretics, so let's see what the enlightened Moslems think.
Oh, come now. Do we ever let facts interfere with an opinion?
If Tapper did a little independent research he'd quickly find that America's most respected Islamic leaders and scholars also want theocracy, not democracy, and even advocate trading the Constitution for the Koran.
They're also the holy men who do the interpreting.
These aren't fringe players. These are the brass hats representing the Moslem establishment in America today.
Hopefully none of them ever runs for president, because here's what he'd have to say about the U.S. system of government:
• Muzammil Siddiqi
... issued a fatwa on Islam Online, stating By participating in a non-Islamic system, one cannot rule by that which Allah has commanded.... We must not forget that Allah's rules have to be established in all lands, and all our efforts should lead to that direction. In 2002, federal authorities raided headquarters of the Fiqh Council. However, no arrests were made, and in fact in July 2005, Siddiqi's Fiqh Council of North America publicly issued a fatwa piously stating Islam's condemnation of terrorism and religious extremism.....
, chairman of both the Fiqh Council of North America, which dispenses Islamic rulings, and the North American Islamic Trust
...holds titles to the real estate assets of Islamic centers and schools in more than forty States. Properties are operated primarily for the purpose of religious worship. In addition, NAIT pools the American Muslim community’s assets under its Islamic Centers Cooperative Fund, and publishes credible Islamic literature under its American Trust Publications. Through a wholly-owned for-profit subsidiary, NAIT develops financial vehicles that are compatible with both the Shariah and American law, e.g. mutual funds.....
, which owns most of the mosques in the U.S.: "As Moslems, we should participate in the system to safeguard our interests and try to bring gradual change, (but) we must not forget that Allah's rules have to be established in all lands, and all our efforts should lead to that direction."
• Omar Ahmad
...founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). He also worked for the Islamic Association of Palestine, a precursor to CAIR. He was born in Amman, Jordan. He holds a Masters in Computer Science from Santa Clara University as well as a Masters in Political Science. Says the reporter who quoted him saying the Koran must become the supreme authority in the U.S.A. is a liar, damn her.....
, co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations
... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ...
, the top Moslem lobby group in Washington: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."
• CAIR
...designated a terrorist group by the UAE...
front man Ibrahim Hooper: "I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future."
• Imam Siraj Wahhaj, director of the Moslem Alliance in North America
...a predominantly black organization representing Moslems indigenous to the United States, founded in 2001 by Siraj Wahhaj, believed to be a co-conspirator to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and Ihsan Bagby. The latter is currently MANA’s General Secretary. Convicted cop-killer Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (formerly known as H. Rap Brown) was once a driving force behind MANA and continues to enjoy the organization's support. MANA seeks to establish Shariah as the governing principle of American society. MANA is part of the American Moslem Task Force on Civil Rights and Elections (AMTF), along with American Muslim Alliance, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Circle of North America, the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim American Society, the Moslem Public Affairs Council, the Muslim Students’ Association of the U.S. and Canada, the Muslim Ummah of North America, Project Islamic Hope, and United Moslems of America...
: "In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing that will remain will be Islam."
• Imam Zaid Shakir, co-founder of Zaytuna College in Berkeley, Calif.: "If we put a nationwide infrastructure in place and marshaled our resources, we'd take over this country in a very short time. . . . What a great victory it will be for Islam to have this country in the fold and ranks of the Moslems." |
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been advising British mosques on security measures, including the installation of safe rooms and panic alarms, warning that they are at greater risk than in any other western country.
The sponsors of a Tennessee bill targeting organizations that practice Sharia are rewriting the measure to remove all references to religion.
ALEXANDRIA, Virginia -- Attorneys for a Virginia teenager have filed a federal lawsuit, claiming he was detained and tortured in Kuwait after being arbitrarily placed on the United States' no-fly list.
