The Terrorist Next Door

The Terrorist Next Door...

"And your country, My child, the United States, and Canada also, will receive the heavy hand of the Father soon upon them. We can no longer protect them from what is to come about within the next several months. Yes, My child, there will be blood flowing in the streets of the United States. There will be carnage such as has never been seen before in the United States and Canada.... They are now setting up their plans to bring destruction to the heart of the Americas." - Our Lady, September 27, 1986

The following mind-boggling article was taken from August 2003 issue of The American Legion Magazine.

Middle Eastern extremist sect seeks to awaken terrorism in America’s unsuspecting communities...

Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Americans have been asking whether or not extremist Muslims in the country pose a threat to the United States. In May, FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III reported, “There could be groups or individuals out there who have not come across our radar screens who are sleeping, so to speak, with the expectation that at some point in time they’ll be activated to kill persons.”

Of special concern is a growing influence within the American Islamic community of extreme fundamentalist Wahhabis, the dominant Muslim sect in oil-rich Saudi Arabia. “The Saudis have pegged the legitimacy of their state on this extreme version of Islam and are spreading it abroad to increase their legitimacy at home,” said Matthew A. Levitt, senior fellow in Terrorism Studies at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

“This contributes to the phenomena by which Muslims in the diaspora - including America - become more extreme and vulnerable to the message of terrorists.”

Saudis have allegedly funneled some $35 billion into spreading Wahhabi Islam around the world in recent decades. They have spent millions in America. At least half the mosques and Islamic schools in the United States receive funds from the Saudis, reported Blame Harden in The New York Times. Along with the money comes pressure to accept Wahhabi intolerance of Christians and Jews, who are not allowed to practice their faith inside Saudi Arabia.

Wahhabism in America. Islamic schools in America teach an estimated 30,000 children. They are under pressure by Saudi donors to use Wahhabi-influenced textbooks, which teach that Muslims should not befriend “kuffrs” — or unbelievers such as Christians and Jews. Many books include the following text: “The day of judgment will not arrive until Muslims fight Jews, and Muslims will kill Jews until the Jew hides behind a tree or a stone. Then the tree and the stone will say, ‘Oh Muslim, oh,

I servant of God, this is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him.” Saudi money also allegedly works to convert black Americans in prisons to the Wahhabi brand of Islam. The Saudi Embassy distributes Korans to inmates and has paid to send 200 prison chaplains to Saudi Arabia to study. Wahhabi Imam Warith Deen Umar, who helped run New York’s Islamic prison program, was quoted as saying, “The 9/11 hijackers should be honored as martyrs.”

The domes popping up atop new mosques across the United States — being built 10 times faster than they were a decade ago — have become the focus of scrutiny, rumor, fear and criminal investigation. This has raised the danger of interfering with religious freedom and possibly fostering intolerance against Muslims.

The Peaceful Majority. The vast majority of American Muslims live peacefully among their Christian and Jewish neighbors. Most Muslim children attend public schools where their friends include children of all faiths and backgrounds. I see Muslim girls with headscarves walking home with non-Muslim friends every day from a local school bus stop. These kids visit each other’s homes, do homework together and integrate without any major problems. But more than half the American Muslims polled by Zogby International in 2001 and 2003 reported they knew of a friend or relative who had experienced anti-Muslim discrimination after Sept. 11.

President George W. Bush moved swiftly to prevent a wave of anti-Muslim sentiment when he appeared only days after Sept. 11 with Muslim leaders inside the mosque on Washington’s Embassy Row. A year later, Bush said, “Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others. By far, the vast majority of American citizens respect the Islamic people and the Muslim faith.”

However, in the wake of the attack, the United States tightened visa procedures for visitors from Muslim countries and ordered Muslims inside the United States who are not citizens to register with immigration officials. Many Muslims were jailed or deported for violating their visas. Islamic charities, cultural centers and businesses suspected of supporting terrorism were raided.

Public reaction to the search for terrorists within the Muslim community has been muted, in part by a sense that this country was attacked by people who lived here. It also was muted because many people saw in world events a large anti-American and anti- Western movement that appeared to threaten this country.

For nearly 40 years, I traveled and lived among Muslim people. I had little or no fear for my own safety, even though it was clear I was not a Moslem. In Morocco, people told me about the decency of American GIs they met in World War II. In Turkey, I was welcomed into mosques and then watched people argue over who would host me for lunch. Afghan villagers shared their bread and tea, making it clear I was an honored guest. In Pakistan, I spent hours in mosques chatting with “malangas,” or spiritual seekers. In Iran, villagers gave up their one-room earthen homes to allow me to rest for the night.

The Militant Minority. I never heard the word “infidel” — or nonbeliever — from a Muslim until the Wahhabi movement began spreading its intolerant views from Rabat to Jakarta in recent years. The movement goes by many names: Ikhwan, Wahhabi, Salifiyya, Mowahabin and Taliban. It funds madrassa religious schools in Pakistan that trained the Taliban and teaches 12-year-old children to prepare for jihad against America. Over the past decade, Saudi Arabia — either directly or indirectly through non-governmental organizations — has financed all Wahhabi movements, one prominent Islamic scholar says.

Terrorism expert Steven Emerson says many U.S. Muslims do not think Osama bin Laden was behind the Sept. 11 attacks. A Zobgy poll of American Muslims in May 2002 showed only 34 percent of them believed Osama bin Laden was responsible for Sept. 11. Instead, Emerson said in an interview, they accept a Muslim extremist myth that Israel planned the attacks.

Emerson, director of the Investigative Project, admits it’s hard to be sure what the majority of America’s diverse Muslims really believe. U.S. Muslims, who number between 2 million and 7 million, come from India, Pakistan, the Arab world, Turkey, Africa and from black communities. But Emerson says moderate Muslims are intimidated and afraid to speak out. Emerson himself has had his life threatened after he reported on fund-raising for terrorism in American mosques.

Mohammad Ibn Abdul Wahab founded Wahhabism in the 18th century. For centuries before him, Muslims, Christians and Jews lived peacefully side by side with people of many nations and interpretations of their faith. But Abdul-Wahab taught that Muslims must undertake jihad, or holy war, and convert or kill all the unbelievers. Even Shiite Muslims, who represent about 10 percent of the world’s Muslims and predominate in Iran and Iraq, may be killed unless they accept Wahhabism.

Wahhabis teach that Jesus will one day return to earth, climb down from the cross and become Muslim.

Although some Muslims say Christians and Jews are protected from jihad because they share Muslims’ belief in the Old Testament and are “people of the book,” Wahhabis have another view. Christians and Jews of today are not “true Christians and Jews” since all their texts were adulterated over the centuries, say fundamentalists in Algeria, Morocco and Pakistan. Ultimately, all Americans and Europeans must become Muslims, they contend.

Islam was not always at war with the West. But after the 15th century, the West went through the Protestant Reformation, the enlightenment, rationalism, and the American and French revolutions — accepting universal civil and human rights, freedom of religion, and the right to free speech and free press.

Liberated to think outside the box, Westerners gained economic and military power that allowed Europe to colonize the Muslim world. This humiliated Muslims, since the Koran clearly states only believers in Islam will succeed in this life and in the world to come. Israel’s victories over seven Arab armies in 1948 and 1967 proved an additional humiliation. Into this fertile ground of confusion, shame and anger came radical, militant voices telling the Muslims to turn away from modern values, reject democracy and women’s rights, and reassert what they saw as the true, ancient Muslim absolute control over all aspects of secular, religious and social life. They sought one Muslim empire, called a “caliphate” — ruled by shariya, or Islamic, law.

Funding Terrorism. America’s Muslims — like Muslims around the world — are being pushed to accept the views of militants who are trying to take over the role of leadership in every community and replace more tolerant views. Already, America’s Muslims have been persuaded — perhaps tricked — into contributing millions of dollars to Islamic charities set up by Saudis in America who sent the money to terrorists.

In December 2001, federal officials raided the offices of the Global Relief Foundation in Chicago, which raised more than $5 million in the United States that year and is accused of serving as an important front organization for al-Qaida. That same month, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development was cited as a front organization for Hamas, using $13 million it collected to indoctrinate and recruit children to become suicide bombers, and to support their families. Another key Saudi charity linked to terrorist financing is the al-Wafa Humanitarian Organization, which U.S. officials have described as a key component of bin Laden’s organization.

In March 2002, U.S. officials raided the northern Virginia offices of the SAAR Foundation, the Safa Trust and the International Institute for Islamic Thought.

Tank Hamdi, an lilT employee, personally provided bin Laden with the battery for the satellite phone that prosecutors at the New York trial of the East Africa Embassy bombers called “the phone bin Laden and others will use to carry out their war against the United States.” Mercy International Relief

Organization played a central role in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings. At the New York trial of four men convicted of involvement in the embassy attacks, a former al Qaida member named several charities that served as fronts for the terrorist group. Mercy was one of them. Documents present ed at the trial demonstrated that Mercy smuggled weapons from Somalia into Kenya.

Another charity linked to bin Laden and raided in Northern Virginia was the International Islamic Relief Organization. From 1986 to 1994, bin Laden’s brother- in-law, Muhammad Jamal Khalifa, headed the IIRO’s Philippine office, through which he channeled funds to terrorist groups affiliated with al-Qaida, including Abu Sayyaf.

IIRO is part of the Muslim World League, founded in the early 1960s in Saudi Arabia and funded by the Saudi government to spread Wahhabism around the world. MWL, which shares offices with IIRO in many places, also was raided by U.S. officials in 2002 in northern Virginia, as they searched for evidence of terrorist funding.

The Treasury Department froze the assets of other MWL affiliates, including the Rabita Trust, which U.S. officials say changed its name to the Aid Organization of the Ulema. The Al Rashid Trust, another group that funded al-Qaida and the Taliban, is closely linked to the al-Qaida associated Jaish Mohammed terrorist group in Pakistan, which has been directly linked to the Jan. 23, 2002, abduction and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in Karachi.

The Saudi High Commission for Aid to Bosnia, supported by King Fahd, was raided by NATO forces, who discovered before-and-after photographs of the World Trade Center, U.S. er in Kenya and Tanzania, and the USS Cole; maps of government buildings in Washington; materials for forging U.S. State Department badges; files on the use of cropduster aircraft; and anti-Semitic and anti-American material geared toward children. Authorities are now trying to track down $41 million of the commission’s missing operating funds.

As far back as November 2001, the Treasury Department froze the assets of 62 organizations and individuals associated with the al-Barakat and al-Taqwa financial networks across the United States for providing fund- raising, financial, communica tions, weapons-procurement and shipping services for al-Qaida, and laundering $60 million collected annually for Hamas.

In 2002, Mohammed and Chawki Hamoud, two brothers allegedly involved in a Hezbollah support cell in Charlotte, N.C., were found guilty of a variety of charges, including funding Hezbollah activities from the proceeds of an interstate ciga rette-smuggling ring.

Saudi diplomats deny they fund terrorism and bristle at any suggestion they allow private or public groups to do so. However, when I asked Adel al-Jubair, the foreign-policy spokesman for the Saudi government, if his country gives $5,000 cash payments to the families of suicide bombers, he admitted it was true. When I published his remarks in a newspaper, he called me to say Saudi Arabia funds all families of those who die fighting Israel and did not single out for special treatment those who blow up Israeli civilians.

American Muslim activists also reject any links to terrorism or to Saudi intolerance. Many have said the hunt for terrorists inside America is anti-Muslim. “The problem is,” Emerson says, “if you say it as it is, you will be called anti-Muslim.”

Tashbih Sayyed, editor of Pakistan Today, goes even further, saying Islamic militants now control “100 percent of the Islamic centers” that are the focus of religious and cultural life for America’s Muslims. These centers are funded by Saudis who control the agenda, said Sayyed, who fled to this country from the dictator ship of Zia ul-Haq in the 1980s.

America Must Beware. Major Muslim groups are dancing to the tune of the militants because of Saudi funding, author Stephen Schwartz says. Sayyed says he and other Muslims who refuse to kowtow to groups he says are run by militants are blackballed and threatened.

Bush made a mistake meeting with Muslim leaders from groups controlled by militants. Photos they bring back from such meetings only give greater power to these militants, Sayyed and Schwartz say.

In fact, former University of South Florida Professor Sami Al Arian was arrested by the FBI in February for allegedly raising money for Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a terrorist group that conducts suicide bombings against Israel. The Washing ton Post reported that “the government is alleging far more than that Al-Arian was a terrorist fundraiser or a political sympathizer with Islamic resistance to Israeli policies. It contends, with considerable supporting detail, that he was a top official of Islamic Jihad.”

The indictment also charges Al-Arian with managing the terrorist group’s money, holding the wills of would-be suicide bombers, disseminating statements claiming responsibility for attacks, helping formulate policy on behalf of the organization, and being in regular covert contact with the group’s secretary, spiritual leader and other operatives. “Al-Arian will rank among the more important terrorists ever arrested and prosecuted in this country,” The Post said.

Al-Arian previously met with Bush during his presidential campaign and had been invited to the White House. Bush has met with other American Muslims who were later investigated for supporting terrorism or had links to charities suspected of funding terrorism.

Sayyed says that since the 1960s, the Wahhabis and other Muslims who reject co-existence with Christians, Jews and Hindus have been moving to the United States with the aim of creating a civil war between Muslims and non-Muslims.

“I came here for freedom. But this is an Islamic state within America they are creating,” Sayyed said. “The Islamists don’t accept Christians and Jews to be part of the nation. The United States must empower Muslims who have no connection with Islamist militancy.”

The amazing Bayside Prophecies...
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

PERMITTED DUE TO ABORTION
"These interlopers upon the serenity of the United States have dark skins.... With their plans there will be bombs placed in strategic places and many shall die at the hands of these ruffians.... One big reason for permitting this disaster in New York would be the abortion mills throughout the city and the country." - Jesus, October 1, 1988

ARSENALS
"My children, an arsenal of arms now are being gathered throughout the world. They are major instruments of destruction... It is the regime of terror that man has brought upon himself by rejecting his God." - Our Lady, February 1, 1978

TO DESTROY THE MORALE
"The enemy will come from foreign nations now to try to shed this blood. Do not take their words to you lightly. They will enter the United States for one purpose—to destroy the morale." - Our Lady, September 27, 1986

PRAY THE ROSARY
"For We have great hope that the peoples of the world and the United States will say the Rosary in their homes, and also to reach out to their brothers and bring them the light in truth of the nature of God the Father in the Trinity—that is, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, also known as the Holy Ghost.
"My child and My children, you understand it is a known fact that when the morals of a country fall, that country will be destroyed in one way or another. Wars are always a punishment for man's sins." - Our Lady, June 18, 1992

COMPLETE CAPITULATION
"Your country, America the beautiful, is being prepared now for complete capitulation. Now you know, My children, and now you must act upon this knowledge, or you, too, will feel captivity and slavery and the closing of My houses throughout your country. You have blindly walked right into the trap of enslavement set upon you through devious infiltration of your government, your schools, and your medias of communication.
"Awaken now from your slumber and seek your return from your course of destruction by getting down upon your knees and praying in heartfelt, sincere prayer to the Eternal Father, to guide you back from your present road of destruction.
"Your countrymen have sought to silence the voice of My Mother throughout your world. You will not continue to silence the voice-boxes throughout the world, for you are sowing the seeds of your own destruction!" - Jesus, June 5, 1975
