Mosques on the front lines in the war against America
By Carol Brown
As the Islamic invasion advances, mosques are proliferating across the
United States at breakneck speed. And there appears to be no end in sight.
Since 9/11, the number of mosques in America has grown by 75%. The
timing of this is no coincidence. Mosques are a symbol of Islamic
supremacism. Islam attacks. Then it plants a triumphal mosque on the
battlefield. And another. And another. And another.
The proliferation of mosques is also a sign of our incomprehensible
response (or lack thereof) to the threat of Islam.
War has been waged against the United States and what have we done? We
have welcomed the enemy with open arms. Dhimmitude has paved the way for
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of new mosques since the day nearly
3,000 Americans were murdered in the name of Islam.
If we don’t put an end to this madness, we will ensure the continued
assault against us – an assault that, ultimately, will spare no one. (Do
you hear that, dhimmis? That includes you.)
Mosques pose a dual risk to Americans. First there is the nature of what
is preached inside the walls of the mosque. Second is the nature of the
walls themselves.
As to the first point, recent studies show that 80% of mosques preach
jihad (through sermons and/or materials) and that more than 95% of
Muslims attend such mosques.
But the horror doesn’t end there as one considers the issue of funding.
While many Muslims claim they raise the money for mosques within the
local community, there is reason to doubt this assertion in many cases.
Common sense alone would cause one to question how, for example, tiny
communities of Muslims could raise millions of dollars to built gigantic
mosques. Common sense aside, there is evidence that shows that 80% of
mosques in this country receive funds from Saudi Arabia.
So here we are with at least 1,700 mosques that promote jihad, the vast
majority of Muslims attending such mosques, and millions upon millions
of dollars flowing in from Saudi Arabia building this dangerous empire.
Put it all together and one realizes that mosques serve as jihadist
recruitment and training centers.
Welcome to the intersection of religion and politics. In the case of
Islam, welcome to hell. Because at its core, Islam is a totalitarian
ideology that demands submission. In fact, the word Islam literally
means submission: as in convert, pay the jizya tax and live as a
second-class citizen, or die.
Anyone who wants to argue otherwise (1) has not read the Koran, (2) does
not understand the implications of Chapter 2, Verse 106: Abrogation,
whereby more recent violent verses supersede earlier more peaceful
verses, (3) is uneducated about world history as it pertains to the rise
and fall of Islam, (4) is not paying attention to the Islamic savagery
unfolding before our eyes in the Middle East and elsewhere, (5) is in
deep denial, and/or (6) is lying.
To fully appreciate the danger of mosques, once should also heed the
words of Turkish poet Ziya Gokalp (quoted by Turkey's PM Erdogan in a
1997 speech):
The minarets are our bayonets, the domes our helmets, the mosques
our barracks and the faithful our army.
These words are a chilling reminder of the role mosques serve when the
time arrives for violent conquest. Although Gokalp wrote the words in
1912, the idea dates back centuries, as the Investigative Project on
Terrorism reports. (If you have difficulty with the link, the same
report can be found at here.)
…The prophet Muhammad's first project was to construct a mosque in
his city, Medina, which served as his residence and a government
headquarters of sorts. Muhammad turned the mosque into a center of
preaching where…the Muslim army was prepared for wars and raids on the
enemies of Islam. A commonly held view by Muslim religious scholars is
that a mosque is more than just a place of worship and can have military
and political uses….
The view that mosques can serve as military bases is upheld today by
influential Muslim clerics who preach that mosques be used as places
from which to launch jihad attacks. And, indeed, in modern times we have
seen mosques used for military operations in countries around the world.
Here is a snapshot of places and situations where mosques have been used
as military outposts per an analysis posted at the Investigative Project
on Terrorism:
Lebanon, Afghanistan, and areas where the Palestinian Authority has
control; Hamas and Hezb’allah routinely use mosques for military operations.
In Iraq, US military forces frequently discovered munitions stored
in mosques and had intense battles against terrorists using mosques for
military purposes.
Mosques are also routinely used for military operations in places
where Islamic terror organizations wield political and/or military might
against the government. This occurs in many Arab countries (Egypt, Saudi
Arabia, and Syria) and has also been seen in Pakistan.
In addition, mosques have been used for military purposes in Great
Britain, Italy, Germany, and Spain.
Do you see a pattern here? It’s the same pattern we see with all aspects
of the growing Caliphate as Islam spreads outward from the Middle East
to engulf more and more nations. And toward that end there is the
ever-present mosque – a place where jihad is preached and in some cases,
a place from which the jihadist attack is launched. (If the idea of
having jihad attacks launched from mosques across America does not seem
plausible, in addition to pondering what I just wrote, look into the 3
stages of jihad.)
When considering this intolerable situation be aware that increasing
numbers of mosques in the United States are enormous mega mosques. Some
are in cities. Some are in small (once quiet) residential communities.
And some are in rural areas where the size of the building/compound is
drastically out of proportion to the Muslim population of the region.
CBN reports:
"It does seem to be part of a larger strategy to build mosques in
rural areas and create Islamic communities -- large Islamic communities
-- in rural areas for some larger purpose," said Bynum, a columnist for
the New English Review.
“For some larger purpose.” Hmm. And what might that purpose be?
(To read more about mega mosques, see here, here, here, here, here,
here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and
here. To watch videos on the subject, see here, here, here, here, and
here, among a litany of examples.)
And if all this weren’t bad enough, we the people are battling our own
government facing off against these dangerous mosques. As has become the
norm with the Obama administration, the enemy Department of Justice
under Eric Holder has aligned with mosques against the people. Here are
just two examples from last year, among an ever-growing list:
In Bridgewater, New Jersey, a mega mosque was rejected by the city
council due to a local ordinance that limits houses of worship to major
roads. The DOJ and CAIR teamed up and forced the town to pay nearly
eight million dollars to the mosque, which will be built elsewhere.
In St. Anthony Village, Minnesota, after the city council voted down a
mosque citing zoning laws, once again the DOJ stepped in, sided with
CAIR, and paved the way for the mosque to be built. A few years prior
when a Christian group was denied use of the same space for the same
reason, Holder did nothing. Apparently he can’t resist an opportunity to
help Islam plant the flag of conquest on American soil.
Holder’s on a reckless roll and he’s only warming up. As recently
reported at American Thinker:
Holder is confidently moving ahead with investigations into
twenty-eight cases nationwide involving local denials of mosques, many
of which have seated radical imams and officials tied to terrorist groups.
The mosque nightmare is riddled with one disastrous layer after another.
In this case, Holder, Muslim Brotherhood front groups, and the ACLU form
a triad of evil-doers who are using the Religious Land Use and
Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) to force mosques on communities
that reject them.
RLUIPA is about places of worship, zoning, and discrimination (real or
imagined). The law gives authority to the federal government to step in
and steam roll over local control regarding religious venues. Per the
DOJ web site:
The land use provisions of the Religious Land Use and
Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000cc, et
seq., protect individuals, houses of worship, and other religious
institutions from discrimination in zoning and landmarking laws…. (snip)
…RLUIPA prohibits zoning and landmarking laws that:
(1) treat churches or other religious assemblies or institutions on
less than equal terms with nonreligious institutions;
(2) discriminate against any assemblies or institutions on the
basis of religion or religious denomination;
(3) totally exclude religious assemblies from a jurisdiction; or
(4) unreasonably limit religious assemblies, institutions, or
structures within a jurisdiction.
The Department of Justice can investigate alleged RLUIPA violations
and bring a lawsuit to enforce the statute….
(For an excellent overview of the law including some historical
perspective, see here and here. Pamela Geller offers additional insight,
here.)
Holder’s actions fall within the larger context of Obama’s persistent
and intentional alignment with America’s enemies against the nation he
has sworn to protect. Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of the mosque
menace occurred in 2011 when Obama shut down all FBI monitoring of
mosques in the United States. Investor’s Business Daily reports:
Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. No
more surveillance or undercover string (sic) operations without
high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice
Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee.
Who makes up this body, and how do they decide requests? Nobody
knows; the names of the chairman, members and staff are kept secret.
We do know the panel was set up under pressure from Islamist groups
who complained about FBI stings at mosques. Just months before the
panel's formation, the Council on American-Islamic Relations teamed up
with the ACLU to sue the FBI for allegedly violating the civil rights of
Muslims….
Before mosques were excluded from the otherwise wide domestic spy
net the administration has cast, the FBI launched dozens of successful
sting operations against homegrown jihadists — inside mosques — and
disrupted dozens of plots against the homeland.
So here we are with at least 1,700 mosques that promote jihad, the vast
majority of Muslims attending such mosques, millions upon millions of
dollars flowing in from Saudi Arabia, increasing numbers of mega
mosques, a history of mosques being used as military outposts, an
antagonistic DOJ forcing mosques on communities, a neutered FBI, and a
president who sympathizes with Islam – the greatest national security
threat this nation has ever faced.
It is that simple, that stark, and that horrifying. Regrettably, the
masses (including most elected officials irrespective of political
party) do not appear to grasp this shocking and dangerous truth.
The situation, as noted at the outset of this article, is incomprehensible.
Speak out. Take action. Get involved. Join an organization to help focus
your efforts. Let your elected officials know where you stand and what
you expect. Educate them. Many are woefully uninformed.
We cannot tolerate mosques spread across America preaching jihad.
Treason must not be allowed to stand.
