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.”

also means violence),” Jihad Watch (February 16, 2007). http://

“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.”

to the State Constitution, finding that its primary effect inhibits religion
and fosters an excessive government entanglement with religion.
