Subject: SHOULD WE ALL EMBRACE SHARIAH AS PART OF "RESPECT ISLAM" CAMPAIGN? Should the Jews and people of conscience have protested in 1935 when the nazis first passed the infamous racist and anti-Semitic Nurnberger Gesetze (Nuremberg Laws)? Should they perhaps have quietly remained on the sidelines, observing as these rules were implemented and as the concentration camps were placed in operation years later? Or maybe they did the right thing by merely waiting until they were "sure" that the nazis were evil, until after six million Jews and eleven million others had been slaughtered, before speaking out? Your personal response to this question will determine how we should act today, when a similar situation is facing us. True, what we face today is not quite as obvious as is our 20:20 hindsight of the events of 74 years ago, but the ramifications and the loss of human lives are potentially far, far, greater now. This is definitely not a personal nor a political issue. This is an existential matter, one which will affect all of Western society. The Muslim Brothers (or Muslim Brotherhood) are a serious and well-financed movement, and they keep their plans just below society's threshold. But when you understand their carefully developed strategy and tactics, you can see that they are making serious, possibly irreversible, progress. With that caveat in mind, try to understand what is being explained below. The author is very restrained in his presentation, but the basic facts are there. Take them seriously. The warning is obvious. So should be your response. -- Allan PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY <> PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY <> PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY <> PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY WILL OBAMA EMBRACE SHARIAH AS PART OF HIS "RESPECT ISLAM" CAMPAIGN? By Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. <> March 17, 2009 / 21 Adar 5769 http://www.JewishWorldReview.com <http://www.jewishworldreview.com/> < http://www.JewishWorldReview.com <http://www.jewishworldreview.com/>> President Obama, on Friday, reiterated for the umpteenth time his determination to develop a "new relationship" with the Muslim world. On this occasion, the audience were the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Unfortunately, it increasingly appears that, in so doing, he will be embracing the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood - an organization dedicated to promoting the theo-political-legal program authoritative Islam calls shariah and that has the self-described mission of "destroying Western civilization from within." As part of Mr. Obama's "Respect Islam" campaign, he will travel to Turkey in early April. While there, he will not only pay tribute to an Islamist government that has systematically wrested every institution from the secular tradition of Kemal Ataturk and put the country squarely on the path to islamification. He will also participate in something called the "Alliance of Civilizations." The Alliance is a United Nations-sponsored affair that reflects - as, increasingly do most things the United Nations is involved in - the views of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). The OIC is made up of 57 Muslim-majority nations. Thanks to support from Saudi Arabia and its proxies, the Muslim Brotherhood has become a driving force within the Conference and their agendas largely coincide. For example, in 2005 a communique issued after a summit in Mecca declared: "The Conference underlined the need to collectively endeavor to reflect the noble Islamic values, counter Islamophobia, defamation of Islam and its values and desecration of Islamic holy sites, and to effectively coordinate with states as well as regional and international institutions and organizations to urge them to criminalize this phenomenon as a form of racism." Ominously, as part of its bid to "criminalize" Islamo-phobia, the OIC is seeking "deterrent punishments." It insists that not only freedom of expression but all human rights be circumscribed by the OIC's 1990 Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, which concludes with the caveat that, "All the rights and freedoms stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic shariah." Translation: Liberties enshrined in the United Nations' foundational Universal Declaration of Human Rights are rendered null and void. The demand that no criticism of Islam be permitted is the pre-eminent feature of the Muslim Brotherhood's efforts in the West. In fact, it is but the leading edge of the Brothers' bid to suppress public awareness of the threat posed by their program in societies that pride themselves on religious tolerance, thereby facilitating seditious penetration and influence operations by the shariah-adherent. A playbook for the latter can be found in a publication issued last fall by the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project being aggressively promoted to the Obama administration and Congress by a number of its non-Muslim participants. Notably, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright recently effusively presented to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee the Project's book titled "Changing Course: A New Direction for U.S. Relations with the Muslim World." Former Minnesota Rep. Vin Weber did the same at Grover Norquist's weekly meeting of conservative activists last week. Underwritten largely by George Soros' and other left-wing foundations, "Changing Course" reflects pre-dom-inant-ly the recommendations of groups the government has estab-lished are Muslim Brotherhood fronts, such as the Islamic Society of North America and the Muslim Public Affairs Council. Both are represented in the Engagement Project's "Leadership Group." Accordingly, its book calls for: "Engagement with groups that have clearly demonstrated a commitment to nonviolent participation in politics" (read, the Brotherhood). "Not equat[ing] reform with secularism, nor ... assum[ing] that reformers who advocate some form of shariah as the basis for the rule of law will inevitably abuse human rights or adopt anti-American policies." "Not supply[ing] additional ammunition to extremists by linking the term 'Islam' or key tenets of the religion of Islam with the actions of extremist or terrorist groups." Launching "an education program comparable in scale" to "the more than $7 billion" invested in the "post-Sputnik U.S. commitment to math and science education" to "education on Islam and Muslims, sustained over a decade or more, focused on teacher training and curriculum in middle and high schools, and colleges." Emboldened by the promise of this influence operation and the apparent willingness of the Obama administration to embrace the Muslim Brotherhood's agenda - in part, if not in its entirety - the organization's assorted fronts in America are becoming ever more audacious. In response to a long-overdue decision taken by the FBI last year to terminate "sensitivity training" of its agents by one of the most prominent of these fronts, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), assorted Brotherhood groups and operatives reportedly intend to announce that Muslims will henceforth cease any and all cooperation with U.S. law enforcement until CAIR is rehabilitated. Such a step would call into question the patriotism of the many Muslims in America who do not embrace the Brotherhood's shariah agenda - something that would, presumably, be as offensive to them as it would be troubling to the rest of us. It could also expose those engaged in it to criminal charges of "misprision of felony," conspiring to withhold information from the authorities concerning terrorist operations and activities in the Muslim community. The message should go forth: Friends of the Muslim Brotherhood are no friends of America. We follow their guidance at our peril. __._,_.___ Messages<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grendelreport/messages;_ylc=X3oDMTJmNnMzZjllBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNtc2dzBHN0aW1lAzEyMzg4ODcyMTY-> [image: Yahoo!
