http://www.unitedstatesaction.com/blog/imm-articles/125.html#3We can see the consequences of failing to be accountable for our responsibility in defending equality and liberty, by simply looking at the failures of
another nation. What are the consequences of failing to defy
Islamic supremacism?
Imagine a nation
notorious for being one of the major "exporters" of Jihad in the world. Imagine a nation where Jihadists
publicly support terrorist attacks on America, where Jihadists repeatedly plot
mass-casualty terrorist attacks on the United States (not
once, not
twice, not just
three times), where
funding to groups fronting for terrorists is promoted by government officials, where
foreign individuals representing terrorist organizations are allowed to enter the nation to
speak on tours, and where known supporters of terrorist organizations freely make
television and
public conference appearances. Imagine a
nation with a
long history of
providing a "covenant of security" for Islamic supremacists, so notoriously well-known as an appeaser that
Osama Bin Laden sought to live there. Imagine a nation whose
protestors publicly seek to
"Slay Those Who Insult Islam," "Kill Those Who Insult Islam," "Behead Those Who Insult Islam," and
"Butcher Those Who Mock Islam." Imagine a nation
where armed police run from Islamic protestors who call the police "cowards," "kuffar (infidels)," and chant "Allahu Akbar" as they chase the police down the street.
Imagine a nation where America's
CIA is currently monitoring the efforts of 4,000 Jihadists from that nation who are viewed to be a threat to American national security. Imagine a nation where
40 percent of the CIA efforts are concentrated on preventing attacks on the United States from that nation's residents and citizens. Imagine a nation where America's homeland security department has
repeatedly warned about that nation's citizens as a threat to American national security and has sought (unsuccessfully)
visa restrictions to protect America from the threat of its citizens. Imagine a nation
whose citizens are a concentration of Islamic supremacist terrorism for their region, and are viewed as a
"mainstay of global 'jihad'" efforts around the world. Imagine a nation where its
non-profit organizations publicly call for "jihad" and
support Muslim violence.
Imagine a nation whose
"security minister" calls for talks with Al-Qaeda and whose
"security forces" negotiate with the Taliban. Imagine a nation whose "security" efforts involve
promotion of an
individual who supports Jihad in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Israel, who seeks the creation of Islamic states, and who seeks "the triumph of the Taliban." Imagine a nation
where individuals listed as
leading "counterterror" organizations come from the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood and
view Israeli children to be legitimate targets of Jihadists. Imagine a nation where
an Interpol-wanted, convicted terrorist advises on that nation's "counterterrorism." Imagine a nation where senior
government employees are
activists in Islamic supremacist groups that seek to create a global caliphate and
call for killing of American soldiers.
Imagine a nation where
its primary "counter-extremist" organization publicly praises an
individual that
supports an international terrorist organization, is
against freedom of religion,
defends wife-beating, calls for the
death penalty for adultery, and
seeks the promotion of Islamic supremacist Sharia. Imagine a nation whose primary
"counter-extremist" organization leader defends the "right" of Jihadists in Afghanistan and Iraq to wage war. Imagine a nation where its natives infiltrate
American news organizations,
universities, and
counterterrorist organizations to offer a
sympathetic view of Islamic supremacists as a political force that should be engaged with and influence American
security strategies and
education. Imagine a nation where
local law enforcement officers are expected to be trained on the importance of Islamic supremacist Sharia law. Imagine a nation whose
leaders call on foreign nations to develop their constitution based on "Islamic law," whose leaders
seek the
acceptance of Sharia law and
Sharia courts in their own nation, and where
Sharia courts operate today. Imagine a nation whose
$18 billion Islamic supremacist Sharia finance sector is one of the largest in the world and whose
government aggressively promotes Islamic Sharia finance. Imagine a nation whose
foreign minister calls for Islamic supremacists to "channel" their efforts into gaining political power. Imagine a nation whose
senior foreign policy analyst publicly rants about "f***ing Jews," and calls for Israeli soldiers to be "wiped off the face of the Earth."
Imagine a nation where
60 percent of its Muslim schools have Islamic supremacist links, where
a third of its Muslim students freely admit their beliefs that killing in the name of Allah is justified, and where a
significant percentage seek the incorporation of Sharia law into that nation's law. Imagine a nation where
school children are punished if they don't take place in prayers to worship Allah, where
Muslim children are asked if they hate Jews, and where school teachers are punished if they dare to seek to have
joint assemblies of children - committing the "offense" of not providing segregated assemblies for Muslim children. Imagine a nation with
schools where children are taught that Christians are "pigs" and Jews are "monkeys." Imagine a nation where a significant number of Muslim youth
openly admit to supporting organizations such as Al-Qaeda, and where
a third believe that those who covert from Islam to another religion should be put to death.
Imagine a nation whose institutional and government leaders seek to silence those challenging Islamic supremacism, not only of their
own citizens, but also
those from foreign nations, exerting pressure to silence people from and in other nations, including America. Imagine a nation where
"extremists" are those who dare to challenge Islamic supremacism.
Imagine that this list... is just barely touching the
surface of the Islamic supremacist infiltration and appeasement of such a nation.
Perhaps you think I am referencing Saudi Arabia, Iran, or Pakistan? No doubt you think I am referencing a nation that harbors those who seek the destruction of equality and liberty? Surely this is not a nation that you think America would have a
"special relationship" with -- except perhaps as an adversary?
In fact, the nation I am referencing is the
United Kingdom. This brief portrait of the endless failures by the United Kingdom to defy Islamic supremacism and be accountable for defending equality and liberty - is to provide context towards the
UK Home Office's recent actions to deny Netherlands legislator Geert Wilders freedom to speak in the UK Parliament regarding Islam. Given the state of the UK, such actions by its government can hardly be a surprise.
The UK Home Office's rank hypocrisy regarding Geert Wilders is pathetically embarrassing as the weakness of a government that has clearly surrendered to Islamic supremacism. The UK Home Office claimed that its objectives in silencing Wilders was to "stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages," while its security minister calls for talks with Al-Qaeda, while it allows Hezbollah supporters to enter the UK to tour the nation, while its promotes an individual calling for Jihad and supporting the Taliban, while it funds an organization that praises Egypt's Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa (a known Hezbollah supporter and Islamic supremacist). This is the same UK Home Office that allows its employees to be members of the Islamic supremacist Hizb ut-Tahrir, which seeks the creation of a Islamic supremacist caliphate, supports jihad, and whose leaflets have been reported by BBC to include "threats against Jews to "kill them wherever you find them'" -- the same Hizb ut-Tahrir organization that reportedly radicalized British suicide bomber Omar Shariff -- the same Hizb ut-Tahrir organization whose speakers state "democracy is un-Islamic."
So this makes it clear that the UK Home Office's use of the meaningless term "extremism" is merely a political ploy to silence only those who would challenge their efforts to maintain a "covenant of security" between the UK and Islamic supremacists. There will be no silencing of former Al-Muhajiroun leader Anjem Choudary and the "Islam for the UK" group, who provided a forum on November 10, 2008 in the UK for Omar Bakri Muhammad , who told the audience "Do not obey the British law... We must fight and die for Islam." "Islam for the UK" has another meeting scheduled for March 3, 2009 where it will seek to encourage Muslims to develop a global Islamic supremacist caliphate. But this isn't "extremism" for the UK Home Office. Nor did UK Home Office concerns about "extremism" halt a Muslim Brotherhood festival for the terrorist group Hamas in London on February 15, 2009 - just a few days after the UK Home Office silenced Geert Wilders. The fund raising Hamas festival in London included Wagdi Ghuniem, who has been thrown out or run out of most countries, except of course, the UK -- the same Wagdi Ghuniem, who promotes Jihad and calls Jews "apes." Not surprisingly, this Muslim Brotherhood festival for the Hamas terrorist group also included so-called British "counterterror leader" Kamal Al-Helbawy, the "former" Muslim Brotherhood spokesman in UK, who supports attacks on Israeli children, and is viewed as "really respected" by British journalists in "counterterrorism" such as CNN's Peter Bergen and Paul Cruickshank.
When one understands that the UK Home Office's real agenda is to silence those who would point out their abject surrender to Islamic supremacism, it is clearly no surprise that they would not want Geert Wilders to speak. It is also not surprising that other UK institutions have sought to silence Briton Douglas Murray and others; Mr. Murray, a challenger of Islamic supremacism in the UK, was silenced by the London School of Economics in "the interests of public safety."
But what you may not realize is the UK Home Office has also aggressively sought to influence debate in the United States as well. On June 24, 2008 in Washington, DC, the UK Home Office sent a representative to a George Washington University panel discussion that I was part of, regarding the definition of "jihad" to dissuade Americans from using the term "jihad" or "Islamist" when discussing Islamic supremacist terrorism. In our nation's capital, this foreign government sought to sway American debate to ignore the Islamic supremacist nature of Jihad.
Two months later, I was told by a well-known American blog on counterterrorism subjects that the UK Home Office had written them in complaint of my articles regarding Islamic supremacism in the UK and sought to have me silenced (an American). I was told that the representative of the UK Home Office was specifically angry about an article where I questioned why the Quilliam Foundation was publicly praising on their web site Egyptian Mufti Ali Gomaa - a known supporter of Hezbollah and Islamic supremacism -- while Quilliam claims to oppose "Islamism." A few weeks before that Senators Kyl and Coburn had written then Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice asking why U.S. government funds were supporting ISNA's meeting with this same Ali Gomaa. Like ISNA, the UK Home Office does not need such scrutiny of the facts, and this particular American blog chose to discontinue my articles on Jihad and Islamic supremacism. (Four months later, the Quilliam Foundation was given 1 million pounds sterling of British taxpayer funds -- and their support for Ali Gomaa remains on their public web site.)
The UK Home Office's agenda in protecting its "covenant of security" with Islamic supremacism is not going to be limited to silencing just visiting European legislators such as Geert Wilders. It seeks to silence Americans in this country as well, and it will doubtless continue to use its resources and influence within this country to do so. This shows the stakes in failing to defy Islamic supremacism -- surrender will not only undermine support for equality and liberty, surrender will also alter your relations with free nations committed to being responsible for equality and liberty. While we must continue to support the resistance movement by individuals in the UK who are still committed to equality and liberty, we must recognize that the current British Home and Foreign Offices and their supporters have abandoned all pretense of commitment to equality and liberty, preferring appeasement and infiltration by the enemy. It has gone well down the road to becoming an enemy-occupied, collaborationist, "Vichy Britain."
Moreover, some publicly promote their collaborationist credentials to impress Islamic supremacists, as shown by the February 15, 2009 report of the Archbishop on Canterbury's claims that he has persuaded "a number of fairly senior people" to support the growing incorporation of Islamic supremacist Sharia law in the United Kingdom. Some wear their surrender proudly.
This is the treacherous, sinister, perverted future that would await free people who fail to be accountable in defying Islamic supremacism; those who fail to defy it will eventually become a tool of the enemy to protect your "peace" through submission. Failure to defy Islamic supremacism will not only cost us our freedoms... it will also cost us our identity.
In Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," there is the well-known story of Scrooge facing the "ghost of Christmas yet to come," a grim reaper that points to Scrooge's dishonor, disgrace, and grave. Scrooge asks "Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be, only?"
This is the question to America regarding what we must learn from the grim and sad tale of the United Kingdom's appeasement of Islamic supremacism. The deteriorating United Kingdom serves as a cautionary example of the future that awaits us, should we fail to be responsible for equality and liberty today.
Americans can choose another path. Our destiny remains in our hands. Our ability to forge a new path of defiance against Islamic supremacism and in defense of equality and liberty remains the responsibility of our generation.
