Radical Islam is infiltrating U.S.

By Marshall Frank

“A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.”

— Ariel Durant, author and historian

Not long ago, I was encouraged by a publishing company to write a book on the infiltration of Islam inside the United States, and what effect it might have on our nation.

While I surely had some preconceptions, my research efforts unveiled mounds of facts and information that would chill any American to the bone. While we are fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the true WW III is taking place inside the borders of the United States, and we are oblivious. This is a war with no battle lines. The enemy has no uniforms and no specific country. Yet it is a war the enemy is plotting, executing and winning, with the ultimate goal of eliminating the Constitution and converting us all as citizens of the Islamic Republic of America.

It is not far-fetched. It is far more sinister and dangerous than the communist threat of 50 years past. The enemy has a plan. And they are patient. It may take 100 years, but they remain focused. Meanwhile, we continue on with a conventional conflict in a foreign land, with guns and tanks, as though we were still fighting Nazi Germany. I wonder if that’s not what Al Qaida had in mind all along, lure our military and the billions of dollars in commitment 10,000 miles away while America is infiltrated and converted from within.

The government tells us we are fighting a war against terror. There is no such thing. Terror is a condition or a state of emotion. We do not fight a state of emotion. We cannot win a war unless we are willing to identify the enemy. We are at war against militant Islam.

We have yet to hear the politically correct president or his staff use the words “terror” and “Islam” in the same sentence. Militant Islam is not some splinter group, like Timothy McVeigh’s people were to the American militia, or the Rev. James Jones was to radical Christianity. Militant Islam is huge. It comprises many millions of people in more than 40 countries who are programmed from birth to hate Jews, Christians, Americans in general, and all other infidels, in that order.

Many of their leaders have openly declared their goal to replace the U.S. Constitution with the Koran. And they’ve announced it on American soil, with the full knowledge of our government. They’ve done the same in Europe and have made significant inroads.

Our government’s response? We must be politically correct. Our president tells us that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. Obviously, he has not read the Koran. The Saudi government has invested more than $700 billion in companies around the world, 60 percent of it in the United States. That’s a lot of ownership. One Saudi prince just purchased 5.4 percent of Fox News. Fair and balanced? Not any more, if Muslims are presented in a critical light.

They’ve made even greater advances across the ocean. In the next 20 years, at their current rate of progress, Europe may be renamed “Eurabia.”

For those who think Saudi Arabia is a friend of the U.S., think again. The Saudi government subscribes to the Wahhabi form of Islam, which is not just a religion, it is a governing philosophy of life, a notch below the strict fascist nature of the Taliban. Fifteen of the nineteen terrorists of 9/11 were Saudi. Osama Bin Laden is a Saudi. Wahhabist imams around the United States are preaching hatred of us, right under our very noses. And, the Saudi government provides financial rewards to families of “martyrs” who murder Jews and infidels inside Israel.

Meanwhile, new mosques — a la Saudi — are being erected in towns and cities from coast to coast, many of which are safe haven for clerics and militants who surreptitiously plot our overthrow, because they are veiled in religious freedom. The numbers have tripled in the last 20 years, to 1,300 mosques, not including thousands of schools and learning centers. Children are being indoctrinated from the earliest of age to the strictest version of the Koran, essentially hypnotized into hating Jews and Christians. In five or 10 years, these same hypnotized kids will emerge as “insurgents,” blowing themselves up into Allah’s heaven for the pleasure of killing you and me.

From the Hadith, the following is a statement of the Prophet Mohammed being taught to 14-year-old boys in Saudi schools, “The day of judgment will not arrive until Muslims fight Jews, and Muslim will kill Jews until the Jew hides behind a tree or a stone. Then the tree and the stone will say, ‘Oh Muslim, oh, servant of God, this is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him.’”

Militant Islam has rooted into America like the Trojan Horse. They have gained significant footholds in our colleges and universities, state and federal prisons, the military, law enforcement institutions, and the political system itself in the form of powerful lobbies and advisors. Twenty and 30 years from now, our children’s children will be dealing directly with the power of Islam, far more than we are willing to acknowledge in today’s frame of reference. That’s when scholars and politicians — liberals and conservatives — will all scratch their head, “Gee. Why didn’t we see it coming?”

Their greatest weapon is the very Constitution they intend to destroy. Under the cloak of religious tolerance and the freedom of speech, our enemy is operating with near impunity and making inroads that, for the time being, are hidden from view to the average citizen.

What can we do? First step is for Americans to be better informed. We must pull our heads from the sand and start educating ourselves beyond what we are spoon fed by print media and television news where sound bites and features are driven by ratings and sensationalism. Once sufficiently alarmed, we can begin the outcry, and make demands of our government to act in the best interest of Americans and not our enemies. Learn which politicians blindly follow the inane edicts of political correctness to the detriment of us all, and then start making changes in Washington. Naturally, the sooner we wean off the Mideast oil tea, the sooner we can declare independence. That is essential, even if it means that Americans must make some sacrifices along the way.

There are scores of books written by vetted experts and reliable journalists who have done their homework. Unlike our government, these writers are trying to impart the stark reality to concerned people. One in particular, Infiltration by John Sperry, should be in the library of anyone who cares about this subject.

The message here, if none other, is: We better wake up, before we reach the point of no return.
