Growing Islamic extremism in Latin America constitutes a “major security threat” to the United States…
The Islamic Republic has the capability and infrastructure to strike the United States from Latin America, but experts disagree over whether it would take that risk.
It is reckless for so-called experts to gamble with the lives of the American public by downplaying the risk of Iranian, Saudi Wahhabi, and Islamic State activity in Latin America. Islamic jihadis’ goal is global conquest, and death in the way of Allah is for jihadis the path to martyrdom. Yet Trump’s quest for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration and plans to erect a wall at the US-Mexican border are denounced and derided.
Willful blindness about the nature of the enemy and the failure to effectively implement strategies to protect homeland security only exacerbate the “major security threat” to Americans, while jihadis step up their activities in Latin America.
Two years ago, it was also reported by Breitbart that Tehran was using Hizballah “in Latin American ‘Cultural Centers’ To Infiltrate West”:
Shiite cultural centers in Latin America have provided the Islamic Republic of Iran with a means to expand its covert recruitment operations throughout the western hemisphere.
“Report: Growing Islamic Extremism In Latin America Poses ‘Major Security Threat’ To US”, by Peter Hasson, Daily Caller, March 30, 2017:
Growing Islamic extremism in Latin America constitutes a “major security threat” to the United States, according to an analysis published this month by the National Center for Policy Analysis.
“The threat from Islamic extremists in Latin America remains an overlooked aspect of U.S. national security strategy,” NCPA senior fellow David Grantham argued.
Grantham noted that “Saudi Arabia has invested millions to construct mosques and cultural centers in South America and Central America that expand the reach of its rigid version of Islam, known as Wahhabism.”
“The international spread of Saudi dogma, which the State Department’s first special representative to Muslim communities worldwide, Farah Pandith, called ‘insidious,’ has laid the foundation for likeminded radicals to thrive in other areas of Latin America,” he explained.
Later in the brief, Grantham noted that the “threats to U.S. security in the Greater Caribbean region are even more alarming in Trinidad and Tobago. The small island nation off the coast of Venezuela, once the target of an overthrow by Islamic militants, has also become a breeding ground for ISIS — 70 of the 100 Latin Americans known to have joined ISIS originated from the small country.”
The ease of mobility Islamic extremists have in Latin America is also cause for concern.
“Islamic extremism thrives where there is illicit finance and relative ease of movement across national and international borders. The mobility of terrorists throughout Latin America poses a serious problem,” Grantham stated.
Perhaps the greatest Islamic extremist threat in Latin America, though, is the Islamic Republic of Iran, which Grantham said could potentially strike the US from Latin America as a retaliatory act.
“The Islamic Republic has the capability and infrastructure to strike the United States from Latin America, but experts disagree over whether it would take that risk,” Grantham writes.
“Experts consistently discuss the likelihood of a preemptive or first strike attack on the United States, though, which creates too high a standard. Instead, the argument should focus on the prospect of retaliatory attack.”
Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton also warned of Iranian sponsored terrorism through Latin American “proxies” during a 2013 off-the-record speech to Goldman Sachs employees that was made public by WikiLeaks.
“If we had a map up behind us you would be able to see Iranian sponsored terrorism directly delivered by Iranians themselves, mostly through the Revolutionary Guard Corps, the operatives, or through Islah or other proxies from to Latin American to Southeast Asia,” Clinton said.
“The growth of extremist activity in Latin America is a major security threat. The prospects of retaliation from Iran, in particular, should not discourage action against Iran where necessary but should heighten awareness regarding the high probability of revenge attacks,” Grantham concluded. “Iran’s influence in Latin America and extremists, in general, demand new national security strategies in the region….

Ya gotta admit that Islam is the perfect fit to the Macho violent culture of Latin America.
Laura says
Mac-101,
I was speculating on that comparison just the other day, especially after reading the reports about the tunnels the cartels have dug between Mexico and the USA – when we find them, we fill our half with cement; Mexico leaves them open, so that they can be redirected and used again…and we know about the tunnels built by Hamas between Gaza and Israel (with materials meant for schools and/or hospitals!). And then we have the rape comparison (“refugees” in Sweden accosting non-muslim women of all ages and, a recent example, the two illegals who raped the 14 year old in Maryland – in a restroom stall in a SCHOOL).
It seems to me that the infiltration of islam into the Latin American macho culture could possibly be much more deadly to the US than ISIS is to the ME…if that is even possible to imagine!
mortimer says
No, you are wrong again. Spain’s lengthy counterjihad and reconquest have been forgotten. Hispanics will have to fight the same battles again if they do not wake up.
Mac-101 says
Spain has a history of bein almost as violent as Islam. Add to that the Inca and Myan culture I’d say Latin America is ripe for reversion.
alex9234 says
What other countries would you consider ripe for reversion? Any Asian countries?
Mac-101 says
Alex, I really don’t know. I’ve spent a couple years living in Korea, 15 or so years ago. I do not believe they were or would be. But who knows. With ALL the Oil Tick money thrown around and the NWO Elite Scum favoring Islam, THEY may very well push Islam on Asia also. Asian countries have government corruption unimaginable to Western Nations and an authoritarian bent with a lack of Freedom. Perfect breeding grounds for Satanic Islam.
.
PS: In the 21st century the West sure is catching up with overall corruption with the rest of the 3rd world!
Dennis says
Mac-101, I was going to say the same thing. I lived in central and South America many years. A violent man s MACHO. On my last trip to Bolivia I saw rented Islamic centers everywhere. Guns and bombs and machismo are the perfect fit!
Mac-101 says
Soon they will be sacrificing virgins and enemies on top of the Inca and Mayan pyramids again!
David says
I think in many Latin American countries, if there were an attack it would never be repeated, they would kill the fish by draining the swamp.
gravenimage says
David, There *have* been Jihad terror attacks in Latin America–just look at the horrific bombing of the Jewish Center in Buenos Aires, and the terrible violence of the “Triple Frontier” region, largely fueled by drug dealing by Muslim gangs.
David says
True I meant countries like Colombia, Mexico etc. If you look at the response from Paramilitaries in Colombia to the FARC in the 1980s to 2000 onwards and the number of Muslims there, the retribution would be horrific and very effective.
mortimer says
The Islamization of the West is proceeding with the help of Western governments and their PAID OFF MINIONS. They sell us out.
No one wants a MUSLIM TAKEOVER and VICTIMIZATION OF THE WEST, but we will get it if the population doesn’t wake up.
The COMPROMISED, BRIBED MEDIA are selling the West into slavery.
Angemon says
But remember: sunni islam is the “bad” islam, shiite islam is the “good” islam – after all how many of the worldwide islamic terrorist attacks were done by shiites?… /sarc. off
BARBARA BROOKS says
Nobody in the U.S. government seems to remember the Monroe Doctrine . . .
JIMJFOX says
” experts disagree over whether it would take that risk” IDIOTS!
WHAT ‘RISK’?? There is no concept of risk in jihad. Jannah plus 72 virgins is the only ‘risk’.
mortimer says
Soddy Barbaria is trying to stir up trouble everywhere in the world.
Jeanette says
“Soddy Barbaria is trying to stir up trouble everywhere in the world.”
And they are spending a lot of money doing it, all the while whining about how they are going broke and have to sell off part of Aramco.
common sense says
So rotten Hillary explains this potential incursion method of our enemy and has the temerity to get back on the podium preaching her demonic filth of open borders and a one world European model govt. 10’s of millions still support her!
I find that more than disturbing especially looking at her laid bare, befouled record of treason filled with death and darkness.
Jeanette says
And let’s not forget that she supports the mutilation of all females.
If she didn’t, she would get rid of Muslim Huma Abedin, whose Muslim mother writes and publishes books advocating that that atrocity be forced on every girl and woman in the world.
Nona says
Oh, get out of here!
You, Gringos, just saw the light of dissent and protests in Latin America?
It’s NOT the islamics that are putting/have put, the Latinos against the “sacrosant” U.S.
The U.S. has stuck it’s beak in every country there, overturning legally elected officals, as in Chile, , training local police forces how to beat down, torture and assassinate their own people, as in the School of the Americas, the Iran -Contra in El Salvador, Nicaragua and the Civil War in Colombia, and the havoc taking place in Venezuela, due to the CIA sticking its nose in that country.
You, Americans have done it all by yourselves, since the time of Theodore Roosevelt and the Chiquita Banana and also, Dole Corp.
All the while, we, the Latinos have been forced to stand on one side, unable to do anything, while the CIA commits horrors.
All of a sudden, you, Americans, perk up and shout : “ISIS!”
I say, what goes around comes around! You converted our Constitutional Republics into “Banana Republics” and Third World, and then, arrogantly labelling us with those names.
And now you, yourselves, are Third World, and not even Banana Republics, because you can[t even produce and export anything, even tomatoes are imported to you, from Mexico. Nobody wants your GMO produce, and cheap goods.
So, today, we, Latinos, can only observed your problems, in bemusement and amusement.
I suppose you all MUST point fingers at what’s going on in Latin America, to distract from your own problems and the interference of your own Mafia, criminal doings.
don vito says
Your writing is racist and offensive. Your amusement and bemusement, is part of moslems grooming process, enjoy your dhimminitude.
Nona says
I, also, want to add, that your Gringos, don’t seem to have memories, having to research your history in books, and think that the rest of the world is the same. …that whatever you’ve done to the rest of the world, has been forgotten, and after a decade or so, or a generation, everything is honk-dory, and forgotten.
What you don’t see is that the People in those other countries, that your interferred with, haven’t forgotten.
And you are HATED, NOT because of them being moslems or whatever, but because you’ve BOMBED them, and killed their families and loved ones, and destroyed their lives. …from Laos, to Somalia to Iran (the 1953 CIA overthrow of Iran’s elected president..Iran would have been a Secular country today, otherwise), to Vietnam. And you’re doing it today in Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, and Syria.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, (destabilizing governments, assassinations, droning, wars) and expecting to be loved.
common sense says
Are you speaking Deutsche? I’m sure we shipped escaped Nazi war criminals to South America and kept them hidden. Don’t get painted blue.
don vito says
Your memories are way too short. Your Latino heritage stems from Spain, occupied and fought for by moslems for 700 hundred years. Finally repulsed by native Christians. The cold war lasted for 45 yrs, with victory by the Free west. You want to help moslems in Latin America, ok, your daughters will curse you for the future you gave them, if moslems succeed. Racist, jingoist!.
Jeanette says
Nonsense.
Mohammed had every little girl in every village he stopped in brought to him for his “entertainment.” Primitive savage.
The Muslims have killed about 270 MILLION people since Mohammed’s time. Primitive savages..
The Muslims have enslaved about 185 MILLION people since Mohammed’s time. Primitive savages.
Muslims burn people alive, crucify innocent children, and if you are female, Nona, they are calling for the genital mutilation of YOU!
They are primitive savages, and they commit atrocities on everyone. They don’t “like” anyone; they apparently even hate themselves.
Evil, primitive savages.
You’d best get your priorities straightened out before you find a Muslim headed toward you with a rusty razor blade in his hand.
gravenimage says
What *absolute crap*.
Think what you like about “Gringos”, you are very much mistaken if you believe that an influx of violent Muslim supremacists slaughtering innocent people in the streets is going to make things better in Latin America, nor that their violence is only going to be directed at the Americanos.
bernie says
Nona: please read the article “Why We Hate You” by I.S.
Jeanette says
Nona: And after you read “Why We Hate You,” watch 29:00 – 35:00 of this video:

They WILL come for you, too, and if you have been supporting them, you will deserve whatever atrocity they visit upon you, since your support of them makes you complicit in all of the atrocities they have visited upon others.

The Border needs to be secure regardless of Islamic activitity in Latin America or not.
All illegal aliens and their offspring need to be deported.
Any migrants that were let in by Obama need to be deported as well.
Don’t reward invaders with any perks or privileges that are reserved for citizens only.
