Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Recent cases highlight terror threat from Muslim soldiers

Apr 3, 2014 11:48 pm By Robert Spencer

MuhammadAbdullahHassanFacebookIt is simple common sense that soldiers who are Muslim might be hearing from other Muslims that no non-Sharia government has any legitimacy, and that the U.S. is the enemy of Muslims for waging war in Afghanistan and Iraq, etc. It is simple common sense to try to determine the allegiances and loyalties of Muslim soldiers. But to attempt such a thing would be “Islamophobic,” and the need to avoid “Islamophobia” trumps everything.

“Jihadist 5th Column Targets The Military,” from Investor’s Business Daily, April 3:

Infiltration: Though the Fort Hood copycat shooter wasn’t motivated by jihad, the FBI is hunting for another member of the Army, a Muslim convert allegedly planning a terrorist attack on U.S. bases.

After a Muslim Army major in 2009 massacred 13 fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, the FBI and Pentagon opened more than 100 investigations into suspected Islamic extremists inside the military. At least a dozen showed a strong intent to attack military targets.

These ongoing threats come on top of the 30 plots or attacks against military targets within the U.S. that law enforcement has disrupted or prosecuted since 2001, and don’t include the three military-related terror busts from this year alone, which are:

• Nicholas Teausant, aka Assad, a California National Guardsman and convert to Islam, who was arrested last month trying to join al-Qaida fighters in Syria. (An FBI affidavit quotes Assad as saying “I despise America” and threatening to kill his “kaffir” mother if she tried to stop him from joining “Allah’s army.”)

• Craig Benedict Baxam, a Maryland Army vet and recent convert who was imprisoned in January for trying to join al-Qaida in Somalia. (Court records show he told FBI agents he planned to fight the U.S. in jihad.)

• Mozaffar Khazaee, a U.S. defense contractor arrested in January for shipping secret documents detailing the F35 Joint Strike Fighter program to Iran. (He was taken into custody while catching a flight to Tehran.)

Despite continued evidence Muslims and Muslim converts pose a threat to military and national security, the Pentagon continues to make special accommodations for Muslim soldiers. Earlier this year, it relaxed uniform rules to allow Islamic beards and turbans.

Such accommodations only attract more Muslims at a time when recent terror cases highlight the ongoing danger of them in uniform. What’s needed, instead, is special screening and monitoring of such recruits.

    DISINFORMATION is being spoonfed to the American people about Islam by their own AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.

    Obama’s government is participating in a CRIMINAL DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN against the American people.

    CRIMINAL DISINFORMATION, Mr. Obama.

      The liberal MSM is also in on the whitewashing of the threat from Muslims and Islamic jihad. Liberals in general are dhimmis to Islam, and are cheerleaders for the West’s enemies.

    “Earlier this year, it relaxed uniform rules to allow Islamic beards and turbans.”

    Oh, the irony!!!

    Police Law in Egypt prohibits officers from growing beards and mandates that they cut their hair short and wear their uniforms during working hours.

    “The Canadian Parliament voted to blacklist the Brotherhood almost unanimously, Sherif Sabawy, member of the Liberal Party and parliamentary candidate, told Youm7 on Thursday.”

    Muslims are not free to disregard the Koran.
    The Koran commands muslims to kill non-muslims.
    The US puts its own soldiers at risk by recruiting muslims.
    The recruiting is wilfully continued, in spite of warnings and killings.
    This is wilful recklessness: criminal negligence.

    We ex-Muslims know that any Muslim soldier serving in the infidel military is someone that you do not want to be around if they should decide to take Islam seriously.

    Islam’s canonical texts (the Quran, hadith and sira) can turn any Muslim that takes Islam seriously into a loaded weapon, eager to kill and die for Islam at a moments notice.

    Muhammad the prophet of Islam was an evil madman and I piss on his filthy name and legacy.

    The 164 jihad verses in the Quran make jihad warfare a central tenet of the Islamic creed.

    At least 75% of the Sira (biographies of Muhammad and quotes attributed to him) is about jihad.

    The largest part of the Islamic texts (the Qur’an, hadith and sira) relate to the treatment of unbelievers, kafirs. Approximately 67% of the Qur’an written in Mecca is about the unbelievers, or politics. Of the Qur’an of Medina, 51% is devoted to the unbelievers.

    Mohammed preached his religion for 13 years and garnered only 150 followers. But when he turned to politics and war, in 10 years time he became the first ruler of Arabia by averaging an event of violence every 7 weeks for 9 years. His success did not come as a religious leader, but as a political leader.

    Political Islam asks: What is the real jihad? The jihad of inner spiritual struggle, or the jihad of war?

    Statistical analysis of the Bukhari hadith (considered by Muslims to be the most authentic of the hadith collections) show that Muhammad repeatedly speaks of jihad. In Bukhari, 97% of the jihad references are about war, and 3% are about the inner struggle. So the statistical answer is that jihad is 97% war and 3% inner struggle.

    There are 146 references to Hell in the Qur’an. Only 6% of those in Hell are there for moral failings ” murder, theft, etc. The other 94% of the reasons for being in Hell are for the intellectual sin of disagreeing with Mohammed, a political crime.

    Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

    “One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…

    The statement continues,

    Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

      Hello Saleem —

      I am very grateful for your postings here– being an apostate from Islam, you speak with deeper authority about it than persons who have been a participant.

      Let me recommend Gregory Davis’s “Islam 101” as a terrific read, for those here at JW who want to understand just how Muhammad’s life flowed from relative failure when he tried peaceful persuasion — into success when he fled Mecca and began caravan raids and force upon settling around Medina.

      Greg Davis’s history is not a short one, but an hour of undistracted time, plus revisiting it now and then for a firmer grasp on dates and incidents, will give any counter-jihadist a remarkable advantage when talking to taqiyya-blinded sheeple…. The millions of “cultural relativists” who, if their well meaning but naïve attitudes prevail, will succeed in getting a sword applied to the region between head and shoulders.

      Two other websites — which JW readers may already know about: http://www.inquiryintoislam.com and http://www.citizenwarrior.com. They have many hotlinks, and the sites themselves explore (among many things) what might be called interpersonal / sociological.

      After reading one especially eye-opening post titled “The terrifying brilliance of Islam” (I forget which of those 2 websites has it — sorry) you will agree that Muhammad was in fact extremely good at assembling elements of a belief system…

    The US placing its forces next to armed muslims, as in Afghanistan or Fort Hood, is criminally negligent.

      There is a recent term called “SJS” or sudden jihad syndrome.Where any muzzy may suddenly, for no apperant reason, may turn from peacefill friend, to vicous, vengfull enemy, no matter how long, or how high position they may have attained. Out of the blue they just kill the nearest kaffers.
      This keep happening and our govt acknowledges, but does nothing everything possible to confront it!

    Saleem Smith,
    Thanks for that perfectly accurate summary of the problem of Islam. It lies at the very heart of it. It lies with its evil, psychopathic founder.

    Obama is a dhimmi at best, a traitor at worst. Of course, being a liberal, Obama is much more likely to betray the USA.

  9. Geppetto says

    Apr 4, 2014 at 3:48 pm

    Pure speculation but it would appear that the military is operating under the same delusion as Obama and company and the rest of the world. Make nice, appease and accomodate and we’ll eventually win “the hearts and minds” of this oppressed, victimized “race.” The frequency and level of violence will recede as Muslims will finally understand and appreciate that the west is really full of very nice, peace loving folks.

    Will the west wise up before the axe strikes at our necks?

      It seems that the only part that is preceived to be real is the our alleged “backlash”, following one of these “workplace voilence” incidents.

    From the article – “Such accommodations only attract more Muslims at a time when recent terror cases highlight the ongoing danger of them in uniform.
    “What’s needed, instead, is special screening and monitoring of such recruits.”

    No, what’s needed is not to recruit identifiable Muslims *at all*, period. (And if a soldier is discovered to have *converted* to Islam, he should be demobbed).

    Not into the army, not into the police force. And once one looks at what has been happening with schools in the UK…not into the civil service , such as the education department, either.

    And anyone with half a brain can see the horrible possibilities of fifth-column-style sabotage, great and small, that lie open to any mohammedan working in a hospital in any capacity whatsoever, or indeed anywhere in the public – or the private – health system anywhere in the non-Muslim world, not just within the West. Knowing what I know about Islam, I would not and could not feel safe with a muslim as my surgeon, my nurse, my pathologist or my pharmacist.
