The article, The Islamization of America, hits what I call the Islamo-lobby hard.
Here are a few excerpts:
Members of Cincinnati’s Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) managed to shut down a production of a play by Glyn O’Malley about the first female suicide bomber. A group of Muslim students at De Paul University managed to get Professor Thomas Klocek fired or permanently "suspended" because, off-duty (just like the New York prison imam), he tried to tell the truth about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Muslim students, perhaps shocked that anyone would dare disagree with their anti-Israel views, reported him as a "racist." Klocek’s pro-American and pro-Israel free speech is, apparently, not as protected as is that of another De Paul University professor, Norman Finkelstein, a notorious demonizer of Israel.
The imam? From the same article:
More recently, the former head of the New York Civil Liberties Union, Norman Seigel, followed by the mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, defended the right of the New York City’s top Muslim prison imam to rage against America, Jews, and Zionists. At a conference of Muslim students, Imam Umar Abdul-Jalil claimed that Muslims were being "tortured" in city jails; that "the greatest terrorists in the world occupy the White House"; and that we should not allow "the Zionists of the media to dictate what Islam is to us."
The imam was suspended with pay for two weeks but not fired. Perhaps he does have the right to say anything he pleases as a citizen; perhaps his loss of this right might also endanger us all. My question is, what if he is indoctrinating a large population of criminals? Conversion to Islam, especially among African-American men in jail, is growing, both here and among North-and Caribbean-African men in Europe. Can we consider them truly rehabilitated if they hold such extremist views when they are released?
And finally...
...we must begin to insist that Muslims allow the same free speech and religious practices to religious minorities in their countries that they wish us to extend to them in the West. This means that if Muslims want religious freedoms in the West, they have to grant such freedoms to Jews, Christians, and other religious minorities in Muslim countries. It is well past time they did so. The Middle East is already entirely judenrein, free of Jews, except in Israel, and I doubt whether any of the 800,000 Jewish refugees from Muslim countries, or their descendants, will want to return. But Christians have long been – and still are – persecuted, often severely, under Muslim rule. Thus, America might begin to peg every trade or peace treaty with a Muslim country or business to an agreement about religious tolerance and freedom.
As I've noted before, Islam asks more from non-believers than any other religion.
