Private Firms, Public Servants, and the Threat to Rights and Security new_book_muslim_mafia_bigoted_ridiculous_waste_timeHussein Ibish, Executive Director of the Hala Salaam Maksoud Foundation for Arab-American Leadership, writes of Paul Sperry, “Of all of the Islamophobes outside of the blogosphere, I don’t think there’s any question that Sperry is the most reckless, mean-spirited and McCarthyite of the bunch. Infiltration accuses every single Arab and Muslim American who had any prominence in Washington at the time, including stalwart Republican Bush supporters in the administration, of being Islamists, “Islamofascists,” and, as the title says, infiltrators. The man's work is nothing less than a regurgitation of the most hysterical anti-Semitism, redirected towards Arabs and Muslim, seeing disloyalty and treason as an inherent characteristic of anyone from the Arab or Muslim communities.” 126 Robert Spencer, “Jihad means much more than violence (but it also means violence),” Jihad Watch (February 16, 2007). http:// www.jihadwatch.org/2007/02/jihad-means-much-more-thanviolence-but-it-also-means-violence.html “Unfortunately, however, jihad as warfare against non-believers in order to institute “Sharia” worldwide is not propaganda or ignorance, or a heretical doctrine held by a tiny minority of extremists. Instead, it is a constant element of mainstream Islamic theology.” 127 Esposito, The Islamic Threat: Myth or Reality?, 31. 128 Jonathan Zartman, “Book Review: Future Jihad: Terrorist Strategies against America by Walid Phares,” Strategic Studies Quarterly, Vol. 3 No. 4., 2009, 137 quoting Walid Phares. 129 Phares, Future Jihad, 248. 130 The Intelligence Summit, “Biography Clare M.
