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

DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson addresses ISNA, Muslim group linked to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood

Sep 4, 2016 12:59 pm By Robert Spencer

Also speaking was Yasir Qadhi, who has taught that Muslims can seize the property of non-Muslims in jihad: “The life and property of a mushrik [one who worships others besides Allah] holds no value in the state of jihad….which means if they don’t say la illaha illa Allah, their lives and property are halal” — that is, permitted to be taken by the Muslims.

Dalia Mogahed was speaking as well. Obama’s former adviser on Muslim affairs once appeared on a British television show aired by the pro-Sharia group Hizb ut-Tahrir, where she said: “Sharia is not well understood and Islam as a faith is not well understood.” How have we misunderstood Islamic law? We have associated it with “maximum criminal punishments” and “laws that…to many people seem unequal to women.” The Western view of Sharia was “oversimplified,” she claimed: most Muslim women worldwide, she said, associate it with “gender justice.”

Another speaker was Tariq Ramadan. French journalist Caroline Fourest in Brother Tariq notes that Ramadan is “remaining scrupulously faithful to the strategy mapped out by his grandfather [Muslim Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna], a strategy of advance stage by stage” toward the imposition of Islamic law in the West. She explains that he invests words like “law” and “democracy” with subtle and carefully crafted new definitions, permitting him to engage in “an apparently inoffensive discourse while remaining faithful to an eminently Islamist message and without having to lie overtly — at least not in his eyes.”

And then there is the celebrated Khizr Khan. Intelius records that Khizr Khan has worked at Hogan Lovells Llp. According to the Washington Free Beacon, “Hogan Lovells LLP, another U.S. firm hired by the Saudis, is registered to work for the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia through 2016, disclosures show. Robert Kyle, a lobbyist from the firm, has bundled $50,850 for Clinton’s campaign.” The Free Beacon added that the Saudi government has “supplied the Clinton Foundation with millions. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given between $10 and $25 million to the foundation while Friends of Saudi Arabia has contributed between $1 and $5 million.”

Why is the DHS Secretary appearing among this rogue’s gallery? The answer is obvious: because he shares their agenda.

Johnson Khan ISNA

“The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) was established in July 1981 by U.S-based members of the Muslim Brotherhood with a background as leaders of the Muslim Students Association (MSA). As author and terrorism expert Steven Emerson puts it, ISNA “grew out of the Muslim Students Association, which also was founded by Brotherhood members.” Indeed, Muslim Brothers would dominate ISNA’s leadership throughout the Society’s early years. Striving “to advance the cause of Islam and serve Muslims in North America so as to enable them to adopt Islam as a complete way of life,” ISNA was highly dependent upon Saudi funding during its early years.” — from Discover the Networks

From the Investigative Project on Terrorism:

In its latest filing before the federal district court in Dallas on behalf of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and its affiliate organization, the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT) in the Hamas-terrorism financing case, the ACLU has made a noteworthy admission.

Rather than deny that there is copious evidence tying ISNA and NAIT to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, the brief argues that such evidence is merely dated. In a curious footnote on page 7, the reply states:

Assuming the authenticity of documents’ dates, the most recent documents to mention either ISNA or NAIT are dated 1991, Gov. Exhs. 3-3 and 3-85, but the majority of the documents are older. Almost all of the numerous exhibits that purport to show financial transactions and that contain any mention of ISNA or NAIT are dated 1988 and 1989 (there are two dated 1990), almost a decade before the majority of the overt acts the government alleges in support of its conspiracy charges against the HLF defendants.

So ISNA and NAIT are not saying that the documents tying their organizations to Hamas are “inauthentic,” but that the problem with the evidence is just that it is old. Then, even more curiously, the reply goes on to argue something that the government has not even alleged:

Even if the “evidence” provided some basis for alleging criminality against petitioners, the government’s discussion of it shows the government utterly fails to grasp the singular weight and consequence that an official accusation of criminal conduct carries in our criminal justice system and in our society.

But, of course, the government has not charged ISNA or NAIT with criminal conduct, or the two groups would be indicted in their own right, rather than un-indicted co-conspirators who worked with the Holy Land for Relief and Development (HLF), the defendant and alleged Hamas-front. The reply brief then, as Shakespeare might write, “doth protest too much.”

    An unusual sensation– the need to weep and vomit at the same time.

    Is Jeh Mohammeden?
    What is the “action” they are called to?

    It is Amazing that ISNA & Department of (HOMELAND) Secutity, actually have the same goals. Jeh Johnson & his prayer rug display, should be run out of DHS & DHS should be declared Null & Void. GW Bush, who instituted this Muslim Out Reach Program as DHS, should be held Accountable to American people. Each one of the FED Depts, is actuallly a Muslim Dept, not American. Look at the JOKE & BURDEN, NASA!
    Hey GW, we’re Not Muslim & are NOT going to be Muslim!

    Caroline Fourest does an excellent job in explaining the clever wordsmithing that Tariq Ramadan engages in. As she put it Ramadan “Invests words like law and democracy with subtle and carefully crafted new definitions, permitting him to engage in an apparently inoffensive discourse while remaining faithful to an eminently Islamist message and without having to lie overtly – at least not in his eyes.”

    These Muslim Brotherhood taqiyya slingers are such accomplished clever wordsmiths that I sometimes wonder if they have a secret school somewhere where they learn how to perform it so well. I actually enjoy reading their stuff just to study their word usage. CAIR is very good at it as well. I guess you could call these people vocabulary grifters.

      Here’s what Jesus says about the devil:

      He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

      This is so true . When one is discussing with such peoples, at one pooint we feel our feet don’t touche the ground anymore after a while . We don’t know where we are.

      In France , last week with the Burkini affair , a muslim was able to proof that the street was a private place. He said : “When I go out on the street , the street is a public place, but me while using the street I am in my private life . So I should be able to wear whatever I want since I am in my private sphere.”

      This morning on Yt in Brother Rachid tv show there was a muslim telling us that ISIS was a misericordious group because by killing non -muslims he saved them to live a wrong life , a life of sins. The man said he was living in Sweden and that he will do what it take to bring Sweden down.

    The guy running the Dept of Homeland Security grovelling for a pro-terror group is a bad sign. But it was already bad, with Jeh letting Tashfeen Malik into the country to mass murder in San Bernadino because he didn’t want anybody to check out her Facebook account cuz that would violate her constitutional rights as a foreigner applying to get it. We’re in trouble.

    I guess we’ve read about J multiple times before:

    http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jun/30/ted-cruz-chews-out-jeh-johnson-over-dhs-purge-of-j/

    And I guess we (at least some of us) are smart enough to identify terrorism even if they don’t say “Islamic.”
    They just have to say: mentally ill, knife, machete, foreign language, mob rape,
    truck . . .

    This is assimilation in action. Our assimilation into their Ummah – the long range goal of all Muslim promotional organizations. Notice how many such groups there are compared to those who support free speech and equal rights for infidels. Their duty to the Islamic mission exceeds any other priority so they are very big on organizing and penetrating American government. Our passivity invites their supremacist agenda..

    Is duh Johnson remarkably incompetent or a genuine apologist for the religion of peace? Either way, he’s a menace to national security.

    Would it be ok in this context to mention the Moslima Valerie Jarret? Also worth bringing up is Barack’s years as a registered Moslem while in middle school in Jakarta, Indonesia, the world’s most populous Moslem nation. They’ve got more Moslems there than anywhere.

      The American people voted this Ass hole into office twice and is about ready to vote Hillary into office. It could be true, there is no hope for this country. We have a Muslim invasion going on and the American people have no clue this is taking place.

      • Wellington says

        Sep 4, 2016 at 6:57 pm

        Just to contribute to your reply, eagle, Islam + massive ignorance of Islam by non-Muslims = a very bad recipe for such things as freedom, equality under the law, women’s rights, the preservation of real democracy, continued life for gays and lesbians, continued life for good beer, and last, but not necessarily least, the preservation of basic common sense.

        As an addendum here, I would vigorously second your assessment of Obama as an asshole. Boy, is he ever. Many, many, many times over. Easily the worst President in American history. No contest here actually. And a smooth creep as well.

        Anyone wishing to aver otherwise, well then give me an argument—–if you can, which I say no one of sense and knowledge can possibly do. This wretched excuse for a President has done more damage to the American Republic than any other person in all of American history. Bar none.

        • mortimer says

          Sep 5, 2016 at 10:02 am

          Obama is slick and ‘smooth’ as you point out. So why did so many Americans make the mistake of electing him twice? What does that say about Americans?

    “Terrorism” has many faces, and “Many Voices”. Terrorism is not only explosives and guns – maybe worse is “Law”. And the terrorized/harassed (the true victim) person finally will have to escape, fight back – or die. Heavy taxes on “infidels”, this blood-sucking system, is bad enough. Shrewd words, the web of Demagogy, looks thin but is finally the death to the prey. Is the U.S. being “cocooned” by “shariah”? Then you have to hurry up, cutting off ever thin thread – otherwise you will finally die.

    Didn’t the “method” of Islam originally include “robbery” and “annexation”? It’s hard to believe that this method ever will change – the harassing of democracy is in full swing. What is the difference between “robbing a caravan” and “robbing democracy”? “Caravan” and “Democracy”, What is similar? “Robbing”. Imagine the word “consensus” in this “statistical game” – Muslims will try to outnumber the populations in every country – a pleasant way to invade – one child a unit a year… It takes only 20 years to outnumber an existing population… The web is covering the earth already. When the critical mass of 12% of a population is reached, there is no return… From that point to the complete systemized terror/harassment through “consensus” is not very far away.

    Democracy or shariah? Well, there is no evidence that shariah is democratic. It is a self appointed law, preferably written by few men back there in history, in a limited time and in a limited area…shariah popped up from among these self appointed “theocratistst”… Can we have a word with God about this? Sorry, the line is taken – just keep on weaving. There cannot be any kind of communication or discussion about right or wrong after this “one-way absolute claim of divine origin” which is the claim of shariah. A Muslim opposing this claim is also ‘opposing Allah’. Opposition will always be judged as blasphemy! Now, we experience this “blasphemy-web” surrounding and penetration “democracy”. Could lawyers is the West please wake up and do something, instead of dealing with ridiculous, petty crimes… The big crime is more important, I think!

    Could anybody out there explain what “gender justice” is about? Mutilation must include dissatisfaction with God’s Creation! Isn’t that blaphemy? I am not a lawyer – but when I was a kid I had to learn the difference between “yes” and “no” – between “truth” and “demagogy”…

    So much for separation of mosque and state. This Jeh-adist PoS is far more guilty of treason than any of the current batch of spies and traitors rotting at this moment in U.S. prisons.

    The result of infiltration of Muslims in our government is what Sec. Jeh Johnson is doing !! Paying his respects to Muslim masters! And this is just the beginning. First we invited the enemy in the country and now are preparing to give the controls to them. Whatever happened to that American spirit which took this country to great heights and now the down fall has begun!!

    Khalila Sabra also called for the grievance communities to unite for Islamic revolution in America at a Chicago convention of Muslims December 2015. Americans don’t know what is going on right under the radar. She said Muslims must join BLM and Hispanics as well so that under the banner of Civil Rights they can bring about the goal of Allah.

    You should listen to her speech here, exactly 2/3 through the video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_wOOOa_7Ak&app=desktop

    Here’s a portion:

    “You [Muslims] are the children of the greatest man in history, Mohammed . You don’t need another message; you don’t need another blueprint about what you should do; you know what you should do. And if we do it, Allah has promised us the same victories that he granted to those who came before us. [in the Muslim Conquest].
    And today must be that start. I don’t want any of you leaving here without dedicating yourself to a cause for civil rights. We are the community that staged a revolution across the world. If we could do that why can’t we have that revolution in America?”

  19. Ronald Hargreave says

    Sep 20, 2016 at 9:25 am

    I couldn’t find in this article what jeh Johnson actually said to this Muslim convention. An internet search eventually turned it up.

    Here is his address: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2016/09/03/remarks-secretary-homeland-security-jeh-charles-johnson-%E2%80%9C-promise-and-wonder-country

    Could someone explain to me what is so wrong with this speech?

    I mean Islamic revolutionary Khalila Sabra spoke to a MAS ICNA convention in December, and called for blacks and Muslims joining up. But she did it to bring about an Islamic Revolution in America. I did not pick up anything like that in Johnson’s speech. It seems to me he was saying, listen brothers, blacks faced what you did and we have overcome it; your people will too.

    Am I missing something?
