Time to take sides

July 27, 2010  •  The Daily Caller

As a dedicated American Muslim activist, I have devoted my life to advocating for reforms against political Islam – the root cause of Islamist terrorism. To that end, I debated Bilal Kaleem, executive director of the Muslim American Society of Boston (MAS) at an April Ford Hall Forum in Boston. I focused on the threat of Islamism (political Islam and shar'iah) to the west, human rights, and freedom. When confronted, Mr. Kaleem feigned ignorance and dismissed the realities of political Islam staying lockstep with his employers. And why wouldn't he when a coalition of local faith and political leaders continue to blindly give him and his Islamist associates an ideological pass?

A Muslim Soldier

July 22, 2010  •  Big Peace

Last week Al Arabiya decided to air a previously unknown video message from Faisal Shahzad, the convicted Times Square bomber. His justifications for Jihad in the video were similar to his statements at his June 21 arraignment. At his hearing, Shahzad defended his actions by pronouncing that he was "part of the answer to the U.S. terrorizing the Muslim nations and the Muslim people," claiming that "We Muslims are one community. We are not divided." His remarks highlight the danger that the Islamist ideology represents to the United States. The Shahzads of the world do not go to sleep one night a normal citizen in corporate America working for the Affinion Group and wake up the next morning a traitorous jihadist adhering to a radical ideology.

Lack of Space Technology Is Not the Muslim World's Problem

July 7, 2010 at 3:05 pm

The Obama administration decided to dispatch Charles Bolden, head of NASA, to do "public diplomacy" on Al Jazeera, where he said that President Obama wanted him to "find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering." He then announced that our deficit-ridden U.S. government will begin a new fund "to support technological development in Muslim-majority countries."

The 57 OIC countries include some of the wealthiest in the world, yet many are human-rights offenders. Handing them our technology and funds could end up strengthening theocrats and monarchs, further preventing real reform.

We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident

July 4, 2010  •  Big Peace

No other holiday embodies the principles that define America like Independence Day. And there is no better day to launch Big Peace than today. President Reagan led us to victory over the Soviets at the end of the Cold War without firing a bullet against them by maintaining an indefatigable position of "peace through strength."

The current administration and many in our seemingly fatally politically correct governmental leadership choose to look away from the obvious ideological threat that our nation faces today. The traditional media and apologetic politicians in print and television echo the same denials that each terror incident is a "one-off," "a simple crime problem," a "man-made disaster," a spontaneously generated mutation never to be called by the names or the ideas they call themselves. Jihadists. Islamists. Soldiers of Allah. Muslim Brothers. Part of the Ummah.

Mosque Unbecoming

May 24, 2010  •  The New York Post

In the 1960s, my parents left their despotic motherland of Syria for the promise of genuine liberty and religious freedom in America. In the decades since, we have led the construction of a number of mosques in the towns where we lived.

Some went up without challenge from the local community, but others met with palpable local discontent. In those cases, the law and the natural American affinity for religious freedom eventually paved the way to the ribbon cutting.
