American jihad, Islam vs. Islamists

Muslim Brotherhood influence has no place in U.S. Govt

by  • 

This is from the Center for Security Policy:

Maj. Coughlin has developed an intimate understanding not only of the “enemy threat doctrine.” He has also analyzed its “order of battle” including, notably, the various front organizations operated in America by the Muslim Brotherhood. Documents entered into evidence last year by the Department of Justice in the course of the Holy Land Foundation terrorism conspiracy trial offered insights into the stated objective of the Brotherhood – namely, the destruction of the United States from within. The Justice Department has also named names, identifying among many others, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) as a Muslim Brotherhood front.

Unfortunately, thanks to Hesham Islam, ISNA has been of late the preeminent vehicle for Pentagon “outreach” efforts to the American Muslim community. When Mr. Coughlin warned the Pentagon leadership of the error of such contacts, he was pressed by Mr. Islam to desist. Shortly after the former refused to do so, his contract with the Joint Chiefs of Staff was not renewed because, as one unnamed officer told the Washington Times’ Bill Gertz, it had “gotten too hot” to keep Mr. Coughlin on the job.

9/11, World Trade Center

Garbage dump no place of honor for 9/11 dead

by  • 

Nothing of 1,100 of those murdered at the World Trade Center has been identified and more than a million tons of debris from that site was moved to Fresh Kills and ultimately placed on top of garbage. New York City saved $58 million dollars in FEMA funding by “finishing” sifting operations a year ahead of schedule. Mayor Michael Bloomberg continues to block moving the WTC debris to an area within the Fresh Kills landfill where garbage was never dumped and to erect there an international memorial.

The following are excerpts from commentary in this morning’s New York Daily News by 9/11 family members Anthony Gardner and Diane Horning:

Directly after the World Trade Center attacks, debris from the site was carted off to Staten Island’s Fresh Kills landfill. And there it sits, nearly seven years later, on the 48 acres that are called Hills 1 and 9. The hills contain household trash and about 1 million tons of World Trade Center material — including 200,000 tons from the first 32 days after the attacks that we believe was never sifted. The remains of our loved ones are there, too. While critics can argue that it’s unlikely, the lessons of the former Deutsche Bank building — where more than 700 human remains were found years after the attacks — have taught us otherwise.

A landfill is no place to honor the dead. And yet, the families of those killed in the largest attack on American soil are forced to pay their respects at our nation’s largest garbage dump. This is a national disgrace. Where is their Arlington? It’s time for this city to create a place worthy of all those who perished on Sept. 11, 2001. That’s why we are fighting for a permanent and proper final resting place for the remains at Fresh Kills
…
The mayor is entitled to his opinions, but these casualties of war deserve to rest in peace, not in garbage.
