U.S. Marines Build Shrine To Islam

PC Pentagon Gives Red Carpet Treatment to CULT Islam
U.S. Marines Build Shrine To Islam
We are at war with militant Islam, but you wouldn't know it from the Pentagon, which is busy erecting a shrine to Islam just five short years after Islamic terrorists destroyed a good chunk of its own building and killed more than 100 of its occupants. Worse, it's consulting on the project with a Wahhabi-educated cleric posing as a moderate.
Last week, military brass -- along with representatives from the terror-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations -- dedicated the first Muslim prayer center for the Marines as a symbol of the military's "religious tolerance" and "respect" for the faith the enemy uses to attack us. Already, plans are in the works to build by 2009 a bigger mosque at the Marine base in Quantico so Muslim service members can have a "proper place" to worship, and one that "honors their religious heritage," officials say, not realizing that the mosque can also be used by the enemy to build a Fifth Column inside the Marines.
The idea for the center came from Navy Lt. Abuhena Mohammed Saifulislam, a young, smooth-talking Muslim chaplain, who wanted a permanent place of worship -- and "education" -- for the growing number of soldiers who are interested in -- and converting to -- Islam.
Quantico has only 24 Muslims on base, so the mosque -- the first of its kind in the 230-year history of the Corps -- will also serve to introduce and draw other Marines to the faith. Large posters explaining how "Muslims love and respect Jesus" (but only as a minor prophet and not the son of God, which they view as blasphemous to Allah) line the inside of the white building. This is one way imam Saifulislam -- known on base simply as "Saif" -- bridges the faiths to reach out to Christian soldiers. Blacks are particularly susceptible to his pitch.
Apparently, whatever Saifulislam wants, he gets -- even at the terrorist prison camp at Gitmo, where he was first assigned after 9-11. There, he recommended that al-Qaida detainees be served halal meals -- including traditional dates and lamb -- prepared according to Islamic dietary law. The Gitmo menu now boasts 113 Muslim-appropriate meals for the benefit of finicky terrorist tummies.
That's not all. Thanks to Saifulislam's advice, our enemy now wakes to the sound of Muslim chaplains calling them to prayer instead of barking dogs or guards, who are now trained in Muslim sensitivity. Also thanks to Saifulislam, detainees can brush up on jihad by reading paperback Pentagon-issued copies of the Quran. They can even finger prayer beads and wear makeshift turbans and skull caps.
While at Gitmo, the Navy imam privately counseled al-Qaida prisoners in their native tongues of Urdu and Arabic. "I must give hope for them to cope," Saifulislam said. How thoughtful of him.
It turns out Saifulislam also ministered to Marine Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun, a fellow Muslim charged with desertion, just before he went AWOL again last year. Hassoun deserted his post in Iraq where he served as an Arabic translator. After he was captured, and after he met with the Quantico imam, he deserted again.
Saifulislam is clean-cut with a Colgate smile. The Pentagon gives him great latitude because he claims to be moderate.
However, Saifulislam studied Islam at a hardline Wahhabi school in Virginia that was raided by federal authorities after 9-11. And one of his mentors is Taha Jaber Al-Alwani, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Sami al-Arian terror case. Federal court records allege he gave at least $50,000 in jihad money "to support suicide bombings" in Israel.
Saifulislam, born in Bangladesh, insists he is only a Sunni Muslim and does not adhere to the faith's more orthodox and militant Wahhabi sect practiced by Osama bin Laden and his ilk. Still, his pro-jihad academic background should raise flags at the Pentagon.
Instead, it's giving him a permanent taxpayer-supported platform from which to convert grunts to Islam. With the Quantico mosque, the Pentagon is facilitating the study of the holy texts the enemy uses, heretically or not, as their manual of war. This is tantamount to the Marines setting up a Mein Kampf reading room during WWII.
The timing of the dedication ceremony is ironic by half. As the deputy secretary of defense and Marine commandant respectfully removed their shoes to enter the mosque and intoned pleasant PC platitudes about being one big happy "family" with Muslims, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced the arrest of 17 Muslim men who had allegedly plotted to explode fertilizer-based bombs at important sites in Canada. Their plans also called for attacking parliament and even beheading the prime minister. Almost half of them had attended the same mosque in Toronto.
Several military officers chose to sit out the Quantico ceremony than hear deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England mouth "salaams" to the Muslims in attendance. They think the mosque is misplaced, and don't trust its imam.
"I have great concern about this young Muslim chaplain," said Lt. Comm. Gary P. Stewart, also a Navy chaplain. "I don't trust him."
The Pentagon's over-the-top gesture is only the latest sign that political correctness is running amok inside the military. Chief chaplains for the Navy, Army and Air Force routinely meet with top leaders from the Islamic Society of North America for PC powwows, even though ISNA is a Saudi-backed group with ties to terrorists. No matter, the Pentagon distributes ISNA literature on Islam and Muslims to help increase troops' "sensitivity" toward Islam.
The first principle of war is knowing your enemy and what motivates him. The PC-addled Pentagon seems to have forgotten that rule.
Wild Thing's comments.......
I got sick at my stomach reading this article. This is what happens when politically correct politicians get involved with trying not to offend the enemy instead of killing them. I am sure that most Marines are pissed as hell about this especially after returning from Iraq where they were fighting against the very people that we are now trying to coddle. This is just unbelievable. Zarqawi didn't create Islam, Islam created him. It's one thing to give them space to worship it's another to build a new Mosque.
This is embracing the very cult and culture of death that we are fighting against!! Churchill said "We will never surrender". We say "We'll kiss your ass".
Islam is not a "great religion". It is a cult/religion following a blood-thirsty murderer. It brooks no opposition, it does not co-exist with other religions. It believes it must reign supreme and will use force to subjegate it's opponents.
The United States should declare that is does not view Islam as a religion in this country. That will be the ONLY way we can defeat Islam. This will be a long and bloody war.

Guess that was a bunch of angry Methodists that blew up the Marine barracks in Beirut.
We are witnessing the self-destruct of America and it's culture. One day there will be another great civil war in America - between the Hispanics and moslems.

What is going to happen when a GI become so entrenched in Islam that they refuse to fight? What if their religious leaders tell them that killing fellow GI’s assures them a place in paradise? The hope of everyone in the world who is religious is to achieve heaven, paradise, or whatever your religion calls it. Isn’t that the reason for religions; Your Place In Eternity?

"The United States should declare that it does not view Islam as a religion in this country. That will be the ONLY way we can defeat Islam. This will be a long and bloody war."
You've said it all in that statememt WT.
Islam is an ideology not a religion, like the Reverand Phelps and his followers of Westboro, both have forced their cults upon their followers under the cloak of religion, now the pentagon is forcing Islam upon the military under the cult of liberalism. I suppose now the military will have to provide a portable Mosque for these raghead bastards wherever they are deployed, stopping the battle 5 times a day so they can worship.

Bob it is crazy and will only make matters worse for our troops especially. Just like you said that is so true.
What gets me also is that they did a touchie feely training for the Marines, a bunch of BS if you ask me. Instead they should do training if they don't already as to what Islam is about, how it got started and how it is a not a religion but a cult and a deadly one at that.
I guess they can't do that it would be totally not PC but it would be the truth.

Jack oh man oh man that very well might be next. UGH! This is insane.

This is absolutely NUTS!!! Are we at War or are trying to defeat the ememy thru kindness and understanding. Total absurdness, this is like building a shrine to the Japanese Emperor sun god during WWII or Hitler cult indoctrination.
They could never beat us in a real war, but I'm begining to wonder if we are going to let them win (it would be PC and if we are percived as a second rate country around the world, and not the great world power we are, maybe other countries will like us and we can feel warm and fuzzy) THIS IS NUTS!!!! Makes my blood boil. I just can't believe this crap.The Iman is a Moderate Muslim?? What is that?? It is a oxymoron. And the Brass involved in this must be real morons.
