The missed signal on American Muslim Radicalizatiion.


How many times must we miss the obvious signals,
signs, events, attacks from Radical Islam in America?
How many more innocent deaths are going to be at
the hands of radical Islamists that will never rest until
us or they are dead? Fort Hood has slipped into the
backwaters of our thoughts(not all of us) and what,
if anything will change in how we combat Islam from
the ground up?

This article from IPT shows the past into the present
and future unless we we wake up. Again, Europe is
offering us a perfect storm example of what might
happen here.  The article is pretty lengthy and the links
are here so there is just the first part posted here.
Please take the time to read the entire article. It will
be time well spent.

"Leaders of several national Islamist organizations held a news conference Wednesday to broadcast their role in encouraging the families of five D.C.-area students now detained in Pakistan to report their children's disappearance to law enforcement.




That the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) thought it was news that they and others cooperated with law enforcement is an interesting statement in itself. But it was more interesting to see CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad acknowledge "that there is a problem" of American Muslims turning to jihad at home and abroad. In an effort to combat the trend, Awad announced his organization would "launch a major campaign of education to refute the misuse of where are verses in the Quran or the misuse of certain grievances in the Muslim world."



This acknowledgement by CAIR and fellow Islamist groups like the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) comes after at least nine cases of homegrown Muslim extremism in 2009 and the disappearance in 2008 of about 20 Somali men from Minneapolis who returned to Africa to fight with the Al-Shabaab terrorist group. It also follows their collective insistence that religious motivation be kept out of the discussion of Nidal Malik Hasan's shooting spree at Fort Hood last month.



These past actions followed a pattern, in which CAIR spearheaded efforts to dismiss any concern about radicalization in America. That denial was on full display in 2007, after a Pew survey found a quarter of Muslim American men under age 30 found suicide bombings justifiable. In a television appearance, CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper bobbed and weaved to avoid confronting the question."

This article is what stealth Jihad is all about. Islamic groups that have
suppossedly rejected the extremist calls to violence in the past, have
now justified it, and they lend their support to this extremist message
from radical Islam.
