Recently I’ve been banging on about John Howards mooted “Summit” on terror. Obviously, strategic meetings like this are essential, and in my view, long overdue. What I have been unable to fathom, and am finding more incredible with each passing day, is that the minority Islamic community will be consulted and have in-put.
I don’t know if there is an Aesops fable about the wisdom of asking a fox to mind the chicken farm, but there should be!!!
I am aware, and concede, that some argument exists for picking their brains. Wherever some form of “moderate” Islamic good-will exists, we should exploit it. To date, it seems clear that there is precious little of that “good-will” emanating from the supposed “leaders” of Australian Islam.
Does it not strike people as odd? That the people group which has been THE reason for the “Summit” in the first place – no Islamic population= no homegrown terror fears – is to have some degree of input as to “the solution“?
With foreknowledge of the Islamic “best practices” of taqiyya and kitman, coupled with the public statements of many of their so-called “moderates”, how can issues that are so close to National Security be even tabled in front of the group of people suspected of harboring and abeting our “worst case scenario”, let alone allowing them to have input into a planned response? If there are not enough “Australian” Australians knowledgeable to the necessary extent about an Islamic threat, then it is an indictment of all levels of Government, especially our Intelligence gatherers.
What the muslim wants is some sort of “Peak Body”, that consults Government and has its ear. Just a little more “oil” on the “squeaky wheel”. Somewhat similar to Americas’ CAIR, I’d imagine.
This below is a small taste of what CAIR accomplishes in America.
This body has already intimidated many US companies into becomming “Muslim compliant”. General Motors and Dell Computers are just 2 of the better known companies where Islamic religious practices have been enshrined, due solely to CAIR pressuring. The US Army, which is fighting Islamic terror, has “imams”, due to CAIR agitation!
CAIR_Australia is just around the corner, people. I’d say it’s time the red carpet was rolled up and they began to use the tradesmans entrance.
From one of CAIR’s founders:

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Quran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth”

Sounds very similar to the words of several Australian “Islamic leaders” ….in the last 3 weeks. Damn it..the whole concept of “Islamic leader” changes from day to day. They shuffle in a new face at will. There is no “Vatican” or “Canterbury” to sanction these men, just power struggles, and the ability to memorise the Koran!
Just which hat will their representatives at the Terror Summit be wearing???
“Google” it yourself, and see how much Saudi money is available to the muslim in Australia! Makings for probably the most influential lobby-group in the country. There are other ways of getting information from arabs, but that seems to only be “sanctioned” and available in Egypt, not Gitmo, not Sydney. Not yet.

Profile CAIR

War On Terror: An American Muslim pressure group has come out strongly against police profiling of young Muslim men behaving suspiciously at train stations. But the group doesn’t have our best interests at heart.

The terror-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, says two New York officials’ push for such targeted profiling on city subways is offensive and ignorant.

“Terror comes in all shapes and sizes,” insists Wissam Nasr, director of CAIR’s New York branch.

Never mind that eight young Muslim men bombed London’s tube. Or that 19 young Muslim men attacked New York in 2001. Or that every suspect on the FBI’s list of most wanted terrorists is a Muslim man, with nearly half going by the name Mohammed.

CAIR’s national spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper, says police should ignore such obvious terror traits and search riders at random, while paying close attention only to people “sweating.” Never mind that during New York’s balmy summer months, that would include folks who don’t remotely fit the terrorist profile.

CAIR should know better than anyone who does fit the terrorist profile. Three of its own officials were recently convicted of terror-related crimes. One even worked for Hooper. He’s now in prison for conspiring to kill Americans.

A lawsuit filed against CAIR by the family of former FBI official John P. O’Neill, who was killed on 9-11, charges that the group, which evolved from a known Hamas front, is “a key player in international terrorism.”

Congress is investigating CAIR and has repeatedly invited its executive director to deny the mounting terror charges under oath. But Nihad Awad, a Palestinian American, refuses. If CAIR is not tied to terrorism, why not clear the air at a televised hearing?

Tellingly, CAIR after 9-11 refused to single out al-Qaida or Osama bin Laden for condemnation. After the London bombings, it endorsed an anti-terror edict so broad it was meaningless – and one that was loaded with qualifiers. (Sounds like our Aussie Mossie response to date)
Instead of condemning attacks against British or American or Israeli non-Muslims, it hedged by denouncing “all acts of terrorism targeting civilians” and “innocent lives” – leaving non-Muslims to wonder if they fall into those categories, knowing that jihadists don’t necessarily consider them innocent or civilian.

(The vaguely worded edict was written by Hooper pal Taha Jaber al-Alwani, who happens to be an unindicted co-conspirator in the ongoing terror case against Sami al-Arian, the alleged U.S. leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.)

We wonder who and what CAIR, which calls itself a civil-rights defender, is really protecting when it fights targeted profiling at train stations and airports.

CAIR may talk a good patriotic and moderate game. But it has a secret agenda to Islamize America.

Before 9-11, its founder and chairman, Omar Ahmad, also a Palestinian American, told a Muslim audience: “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Quran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”

Before coming to Washington, Hooper himself is on record stating: “I wouldn’t want to create the impression that I wouldn’t like the government of the United States to be Islamic.”

Hooper is also on record claiming CAIR receives no “support from any overseas group or government.” But land records revealed in the book “Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington” put the lie to that claim.

It turns out that an anti-Israeli foundation run by the crown prince of Dubai owns the very deed to CAIR’s headquarters located almost in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol. The foundation has held telethons to support families of Palestinian suicide bombers.

Against these facts, it’s hard to trust anything CAIR says regarding the fight against terror.

It’s plain the group has ulterior motives.

Politicians from Washington to New York should ignore its aggressive lobbying against targeted profiling, a move that could save thousands of constituents’ lives.

If anyone should be profiled, it’s CAIR
