Reprints The Islamist Head Fake INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted 9/28/2007 Homeland Security: When dealing with Muslim leaders, Washington should borrow a page from Ronald Reagan's Soviet playbook: Trust, but verify.
Global War On Terror It's now believed that several leaders of the Muslim establishment in America last decade conspired to infiltrate the US political system, change Middle East policy and gradually Islamize America. At the same time, they hatched a plot to fund overseas terrorists. So they set up benign-sounding nonprofits and charities to "camouflage" their traitorous activities, say US prosecutors who cite wiretap transcripts and other documents uncovered in a criminal probe of the Holy Land Foundation, the largest Muslim charity in America. During a secret meeting at a Philadelphia hotel, the charity's president and other prominent Muslim leaders were recorded allegedly plotting ways to disguise payments to Hamas terrorists as charity. "I swear by Allah that war is deception," said Shukri Abu-Baker, now on trial in the federal terror-funding case. Deceive, camouflage, pretend that you're leaving while you're walking that way. Another participant at the Hamas summit was the founder of the Council on American Islamic-Relations, or CAIR, the largest Muslim civil-rights group in the country and an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror-funding case. Adding to Abu-Baker's point, Omar Ahmad compared the deception needed to fool the infidels with the head fake in basketball. "He makes a player believe that he is doing this while he does something else," Ahmad said. The Islamist head fake has worked all too well over the past decade. Blind acceptance and validation of Muslim leaders with questionable loyalties hardly missed a beat in Washington even after 9/11. The head of the FBI spoke at their conferences, calling them "mainstream" and "moderate." But what Muslim leaders tell us and what they tell Muslim audiences are often two entirely different things. Here are just a few examples: Sami Al-Arian: The popular and respected Muslim activist was a White House guest of both presidents Clinton and Bush. He assured his hosts he was both peace-loving and patriotic. All the while, Al-Arian was secretly running a US beachhead for Palestinian terrorists. In a speech at a Cleveland mosque, he once thundered: "Let's damn America, let's damn Israel, let's damn their allies until death." Abdurahman Alamoudi: This pillar of the Muslim community also went from the White House to the Big House. But not before developing the Pentagon's Muslim chaplain corps, and acting as a goodwill ambassador for the State Department. Privately, however, he raised major funds for al-Qaida and was caught on tape grumbling that Osama bin Laden hadn't killed enough Americans in the US embassy bombings. Also, at a Muslim conference, he was recorded saying the following: "Muslims sooner or later will be the moral leadership of America. Either we do it now or we do it after a hundred years, but this country will become a Muslim country. Ali Al-Timimi: A noted imam and native Washingtonian, he also put on a moderate face in public while secretly plotting against us. The internationally known Muslim scholar had government clearance -- even worked with a former White House chief of staff -- and was invited to speak on Islam to the US military. "My position against terrorism and Muslim-inspired violence against innocent people is well known by Muslims," he said. Five days after the 9/11 attacks, he called them "legitimate" and rallied young Muslim men at his mosque to carry out more "holy war" and "violent jihad." Al-Timimi even cheered the Columbia space shuttle disaster, calling it a "good omen" for Muslims because it was a blow to their "greatest enemy." This high-profile moderate is also now behind bars, for soliciting terror and treason. Who else is "camouflaging" their radical beliefs and agenda with smiles and soft rhetoric? To reach out to the Muslim community, we must deal with its leaders. But based on their proven track record of dissembling, we can no longer go on blindly trusting them.
