| THE ENEMY WITHIN
In America, it's forbidden to
even hint that religion or heritage may be a factor in criminal behavior. We can thank the
liberal pinko press and the absurdly "politically correct" DemocRats for
undermining the National Security of the U.S.
It has become painfully obvious that America faces a threat from within. The threat comes
not just from terrorists who have managed to penetrate America's porous borders - the 9/11
terrorists, for example - though that danger is real enough.
It also comes from disgruntled Americans - converts to militarized Islam or to radical
anti-Americanism.
In a sense, these folks are more dangerous, because they often enjoy full rights as U.S.
citizens: Not only do our laws protect them, but so does our culture.
Take Sgt. Asan Akbar - the alleged turncoat who rolled live grenades into the tents of his
sleeping superiors in Kuwait, killing one and injuring 15. In nearly every early
report of the incident, Akbar's religious persuasion - he was a convert to Islam - was
omitted. WHY?
Because in America, it's forbidden to even hint that religion or heritage may be a factor
in criminal behavior.
The censorship by silence against citing religion became stronger after the 9/11 attacks.
Journalists played dumb to his background, and even his chosen name, Akbar which is an
Arabic word that's part of the terrorists' battle cry, "Allahu Akhbar," meaning
"God is great."
The motives offered for his attack: He had "an attitude problem." He was upset
because his commanders decided to keep him out of the battle. But a Los Angeles Times
report shed light on Akbar's true loyalties: Upon being caught, he reportedly told his
captors, "You guys are coming into our countries, and you're gong to rape our women
and kill our children."
You guys? ......Our countries? ......Wasn't he American, too?
The attack recalls another incident, in 1991, when the Army's 84th Engineering Company was
preparing for action in the first war against Saddam Hussein. According to the Seattle
Times last November, someone set off a thermite grenade in a tent with 16 soldiers. Though
no formal charges were brought, the Army's Criminal Investigation Division reportedly came
up with a lead suspect: John Allen Muhammad.
If that name sounds familiar, it should: He's the adult suspect in last fall's Beltway
sniper attacks. No one wanted to talk about his religion, either.
Then there are sympathizers, like Lynne Stewart, the lawyer for Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman,
who is serving a life sentence for terroristic plotting. Stewart faces charges she aided
Rahman in issuing instructions to an agent linked to his terrorist organization, the
Islamic Group.
She claims she was exercising her free-speech rights. But federal prosecutors liken her
verbal distractions to those of an accomplice who distracts security guards in a bank
heist.
Meanwhile, the second and third members of the "Lackawanna Six" - a potential
sleeper cell based near Buffalo and linked to al Qaeda - pleaded guilty this week, and
more such pleas are expected.
At a mosque as close to home as Brooklyn, a Yemeni cleric, Al Hasan al-Moayad, was accused
of raising millions that was then funneled to al Qaeda.
Prison imams and military chaplains are said to have been tapped on recommendation from
Saudi Arabian Wahhabi groups, some with ties to terrorist or terror-sympathizing
organizations.
As researchers like Frank Gaffney, Jr., Steve Emerson and Post columnist Daniel Pipes have
suggested, numerous student associations, professors, fund-raising groups and political
organizations with similar ties have embedded themselves deep into American culture.
Recently, a Florida professor, Sami Al-Arian, was indicted on 50 counts of racketeering,
extortion, money-laundering, perjury and fraud linked to his role as head of Palestinian
Islamic Jihad in America.
Radical Islam is a domestic threat; it's a potentially deadly mistake to pretend
otherwise.
