The Center for American Progress Fear, Inc. Report

November 16, 2011  •  Family Security Matters

The Center for American Progress (CAP) recently issued a 132 page report entitled "Fear, Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America" (pdf). The report's supposed objective is to "expose—and marginalize—the influence of the individuals and groups" that CAP claims are a part of an "Islamophobia network in America." The report was immediately seized upon by many Muslim organizations and enablers on the political left as well as the Iranian government's Press TV as proof positive of the victimhood of American Muslims.

'Leaders' who fail the Awlaki test

October 10, 2011  •  The New York Post

The just assassination of Anwar al-Awlaki was a defining moment for American Muslims. We should have been leading the cheers -- but instead many of our self-appointed "spokesmen" squandered their bandwidth.

This one is personal. As one of us, Awlaki's extreme form of Islamism swayed many Muslims to hate America and the West. Worse -- in flagrant defiance of the central tenets of our Islam -- he taught many Muslims to diminish the value of human life.

Ten Years - We Are Still Missing the Lessons of 9/11

September 10, 2011  •  Fox News

In recent years and even weeks, the lessons of September 11, 2001 have been lost to constant distraction, the most recent being Mayor Bloomberg's unfathomable decision to forbid people of faith a role at the tenth anniversary commemoration.

Faith was the impetus for the attack, faith was the instrument for healing, and faith is the only hope we have to defeat the ideology that attacked us ten years ago.

Bloomberg's stance encapsulates our greatest liabilities as a nation ten years after 9/11. We, now, more than ever, lack the political will, the national skill sets, and the prominent American Muslim leadership willing to identify, engage, and defeat Islamism.

The Islamist Threat Inside Our Military

August 19, 2011  •  The Wall Street Journal

Our armed forces are becoming ground zero for American Muslims in the ideological struggle between Americanism and Islamism. U.S. Army Pvt. Naser Abdo points to that serious conflict.

Pvt. Abdo was arrested recently in possession of weapons and explosive materials. Investigators say he told them he planned to attack the military. The private has publicly complained that he faced discrimination because he is Muslim.

How many Islamists gone militant do we need to attack us before our military addresses radicalization among its Muslim members? Political correctness and denial are not working.

Syrian Reform Starts At Home

May 28, 2011  •  Big Peace

As we in the free-world have stood by and watched, 2011 has marked the awakening of the principles of freedom within the hearts of Arab people throughout the Middle East. Syria, which has long stood at the crossroads of the Middle East, today remains as one of the last functioning bastions of the secular fascist regimes. This is no surprise to the millions of Syrians around the world most of whom escaped the slavery of the Assad regime. The Assads have held power through the outright brutalization of the Syrian people which has created a global Syrian culture of fear.
