A Critical Analysis of 'Real Islam'. Its People ... - Bukti dan Saksi

written three years before his jihad cell carried out the first WTC attack, demonstrates the imperative to
monitor mosques:
Before announcing the establishing of the state of Abraham in our holy land[,] to break and to destroy the
morale of the enemies of Allah. And this is by means of destroying the structure of their civilized pillars. Such
as the touristic infrastructure which they are proud of, and their high world buildings which they are proud of,
and their statues which they endear, and the buildings in which gather their leaders. And without any
announcement of our responsibility as Muslims for what had been done. And therefore, the enemies of God will
be busy in rebuilding their infrastructure and rebuilding their morale. And they will not care much about what
goes on around them more than [they] care about rebuilding their morale; and therefore, the chance will be
available for the Muslims to repossess their sacred lands from the enemies of God, the traitors and hypocrites
who will be at this moment in a very psychological weakness from what they see around them. And this is
because the forces on which they were depending were crushed into pieces and are in a tragic collapse.
Another player in the Farooq jihad gang included an American named Clement Hampton-El (a.k.a.
"Doctor Rasheed"), who, like Mahmud Abouhalima, was a veteran of the Afghanistan jihad. Clement
would later conspire with other mosque associates - Egyptians, Sudanese, and a Palestinian - in a failed
plot to bomb the United Nations complex, the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, and the FBI's Manhattan
headquarters.
No one at the time monitored sermons delivered on Fridays or their mosque planning meetings, but
they themselves saved some reports to their chosen imam, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind cleric
and leader of Egypt's deadly Islamic Group, 'Gamaat al Islamia'. Sheikh Omar would later relocate to the
United States in mid-1990 and take up preaching in Farooq and other mosques in New York and New
Jersey. These sermons by the Blind Sheikh and other radical imams were sometimes recorded and
distributed for recruitment and fundraising purposes. Typical of such motivational sermons was the one
Sheikh Omar gave just a few weeks prior to the first WTC bombing, where after explaining to his
followers that "God has obliged us to perform jihad", he elaborated that "[if] those who have the right [to
jihad] are terrorists, then we are terrorists. And we welcome being terrorists. And we do not deny this
charge to ourselves. The Qur'an makes it among the means to perform jihad for the sake of Allah, which
is to terrorize the enemies of God and our enemies too. ... Then we must be terrorists, and we must
terrorize the enemies of Islam, and frighten them, and disturb them, and shake the earth under their feet".
We simply cannot afford to continue ignoring such clear and present potentially lethal threats to our
infrastructure and citizenry. Experts tell us that 80-90% of even US mosques are at varying stages of
radicalization, but even monitoring a hundred mosques to identify and expel a single radical imam
inciting jihad would likely save US lives and be well worth the effort. Expelling a handful of radical
clerics would also force the rest to at least tone-down overt public incitement. By such proactive actions
we could prevent 100's to 1000's of otherwise nominal US Muslims from becoming Jihadists. Removing
the Jihadist imperative from a young man is much more difficult than preventing the brainwashing
process in the first place.
Despite an ever-growing body of evidence, many individuals, groups, and nations continue to
function as a propaganda machine deceiving much of the American public, academia, and even our
government. The stakes are becoming too great to continue our naïve and gullible habits. A tolerant,
welcoming nation has given Islam the benefit of the doubt, but too many have already proven unworthy
of that hope and confidence. Many of those spewing the incorrect or incomplete propaganda are aware
they are not telling the whole truth about Muhammad and Islam, knowing the purpose of the
misinformation is to weaken our resolve and keep us from instigating effective counter-measures. Despite
the continuing rivers of blood flowing all over the world, they want to calm our fears that Islam is not a
violent religion and that Muhammad was not a terrorist, proclaiming he was a lover of peace. But history
(recent and distant) speaks for itself, and it would be unwise for any to welcome the kind of peace that
Muhammad and his modern day followers seek. Those that defend Islam, or try to portray it in only a
positive light, are deliberately or ignorantly misleading us and causing us to be inadequately prepared for
their next deadly strike. Even the Muslim terrorists who flew the planes into the NY towers would
undoubtedly have declared that Islam was a religion of peace, and Muhammad was a benevolent, merciful
