Controversial Islamic Speaker Welcomed at Ft. Hood
CBN
The U.S. military is facing criticism for bringing a controversial Islamic speaker to Fort Hood.
The criticism comes just one month after a radical Muslim’s shooting spree at the fort that killed 13 soldiers.
Dr. Louay Safi lectured on Islam last week to U.S. troops about to deploy to Afghanistan. He is a top official for the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA.
In 2007, the group was named as an un-indicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in U.S. history. Evidence introduced at that trial showed that ISNA is closely tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. The brotherhood is a global Islamic jihadist movement that laid the foundation for groups like al Qaeda and Hamas.
Dr. Safi has also worked for a Saudi-funded organization called the International Institute of Islamic Thought. The group has been on the radar screen of federal investigators for years. But Safi’s radical ties don’t end there.
In 1995, he was recorded on an FBI wiretap talking to convicted Palestinian terrorist Sami al-Arian.
So how was Safi chosen to lecture at Fort Hood? A spokesman for the Army base told CBN News that “Safi was one of the faculty members during a seminar about Islam for the Army’s 135th expeditionary unit. He said speakers are invited based on learning objectives, audience experience, and availability. The spokesman added that “organizers of the seminar were not aware of Safi’s alleged association, but have had no issues or concerns over his presentations nor has any unit raised any.”
However, those associations are not just alleged. They are concrete and all of them are readily available to the public just by doing a simple Google search on the Internet.

Safi’s extremist ideology was recently mentioned in a report by Rowan Scarborough, “FBI Partners with Jihad Groups”:
Safi is a Syrian-born author who advocates Muslim American rights through his directorship of ISNA’s Leadership Development Center. He advocates direct talks between Washington and Iran’s leaders. He has spoken out against various law enforcement raids on Islamic centers.
In a 2003 publication, “Peace and the Limits of War,” Safi wrote, “The war against the apostates [non-believers of Islam] is carried out not to force them to accept Islam, but to enforce the Islamic law and maintain order.”
He also wrote, “It is up to the Muslim leadership to assess the situation and weigh the circumstances as well as the capacity of the Muslim community before deciding the appropriate type of jihad. At one stage, Muslims may find that jihad, through persuasion or peaceful resistance, is the best and most effective method to achieve just peace.”
Again, this guy is teaching our soldiers on Islam at Ft. Hood as they are set to deploy to Afghanistan. Maj. Hasan was merely following Safi’s dictates in consulting with his former imam Anwar al-Aulaqi in assessing the situation and deciding on the appropriate type of jihad. And Hasan very well may have relied on Safi’s rulings on Islamic warfare in preparing for his attack. On page 29 of his “Peace and the Limits of War”, Safi outlines the Islamic doctrine of a preemptive strike:
The clear-cut case of foreign aggression is a military attack on the Islamic state or its allies. The Muslims, however, are not obliged to wait until the enemies launch their attack, before responding. Rather, the Islamic state can initiate war and carry out a preemptive strike if the Muslim authorities become convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that the enemy is mobilizing its forces and is about to carry out an offensive, or if a state of war already exists between the Islamic state and its adversaries.”

Wild Thing’s comment…………..
This has got to be the stupidest, most insane thing I have ever heard in my entire life. That is completely vile. I feel for our troops that keep getting this forced on them by their higher ups.
