Â Â Â Terror analyst and investigative reporter, Steve Emerson is my new hero. A quick bio on him is here. He was recently on Hannity and Colmes and laid into CAIR with both barrels, and laid the smack down on Colmes when he tried to divert him.Â For the informative and highly amusing video go over to Hot Air here. Emerson knows his stuff, I did some more quick research and found an excerpt for his book American Jihad and it’s now near if not on the top of my list of books to get. Here’s the excerpt.

Also found this clip from Fred Thompson titled “What would Ghandi do?”. It shows his public speaking ability, some of his thoughts on the war against terror and it’s a nice gentle rebuke of the left all done in a good ol’ boy southern drawl. Listen to it here.Â I’m still not sold 100% on him for POTUS yet, but damn I get a little closer every day.

There will be more posts later, work has got me jammed up.Â visit my advertisers so I can quit the day job and blog more lol.

Ooo. That audio clip was Fred Thompson? Very good stuff. ONe thing that alot of people seem to forget about Ghandi, is that Hee firmly believed that you could win any conflict with non-violence. While I think its false when it comes to the Islamists, it DID remove the Brits from India. But the Brits werent there to kill them, so… SOmething else interesting Ghandi said was:

‘I do believe that where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence.’

Good advice, eh?

Emerson, a Jew who gets it
A perspective of a moderate Muslim

At the risk of sounding anti-Semitic, I want to say this: either American Jews are completely clueless about the internal struggle inside Islam or they are so cowardly, that they are even afraid to voice their opinion. Or maybe it’s a combination of both.

Every time there is a development that involves radical Islam, be it a Mayor of New York attending an Islamist parade, DOJ’s officials attending an Islamist conference, or a protester being sued for having the balls to expose an Islamist-sponsored event at an amusement park, the American Jewish community is as quiet as a church mouse. It’s like it is not even there.

The effect of this silence is devastating. Not for the Jewish community, not yet. That time is still to come. The silence affects the American Muslim community. Every time moderate Muslims are ignored and Islamists are legitimized (by either direct support from government representatives or silent support of the ADL), radicals gain ground. In the current PC climate, moderate Muslims have pretty much no choice but to keep their mouths shut.

Luckily for us, not everyone in the Jewish community is like that. There are some Jews that are speaking out. One of them is Steven Emerson, who has been warning the West about the dangers of Islamic fundamentalism since before PanAm 103. Most of his current work is focused on exposing the radicals masquerading as the moderates – those radicals who are embraced by the DOJ and the Pentagon, by the mayor of New York Bloomberg (Rudy would never get into bed with terrorist supporters) and the Treasury Department, by the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security, by the Congress and the White House.

There is a war of ideas within Islam, and moderate Muslims are losing. Most of Muslim clergy and Muslim establishment are paid for by the Wahhabis. Moderate Muslims are being run out of Mosques and community centers, and in many cases are physically threatened. Moderate Muslims have no place in the media or public debate, because the place reserved for Muslims is filled by Islamic radicals, who attempt to make criticizing anything Islamic a taboo. According to the Islamists, a Muslim can do no wrong.
1. When a non-Muslim criticizes Islam or Muslims, he/she is an Islamophobe.
2. When a Muslim criticizes Islam or Muslim, he/she is not a real Muslim, therefore see #1.

This is a tactic used by “moderate” Muslims, the darlings of the government and the media. But how can you call someone who praises bin Laden, or has ties to Hamas, or calls for the elimination of Israel, or wants to replace the Constitution with the Koran a moderate? They are anything but moderates, however nobody except for a few people like Steven Emerson seems to notice that. But even when the Emersons of America appeal to the public, they are often being dismissed as alarmists and racists. Well, they are anything, but. You don’t have to be a clairvoyant to predict the future when it comes to expansion of radical Islam and extinction of moderate Muslims. All you need to do is get your heads out of the sand.

Why our government is so forgiving and forgetful when it comes to individuals or organizations with known terrorist ties and anti-American views is beyond me. Why the Jewish leaders are so timid when it comes to the subject of radical Islam is incomprehensible.

I thank God every day for people like Steven Emerson, because they are the last glimmer of hope for moderate Muslims.
