Phares: Taqiyya and Jihad
EMET’s Speaker of the Truth for 2009 Walid Phares posts on the Counter-Terrorism Blog today about Taqiyya and the North Carolina Jihadists recently arrested. He makes some excellent points regarding the homegrown jihad. Two key issues raised by Phares need to be highlighted:
On 9/11, these jihadists were between the age of 10 and 13. Who over the decade indoctrinated them, recruited them, and trained them? Even more daring is to ask who is indoctrinating children age 10 and above to jihadism within the United States. It would be hard to believe that Boyd was the only jihadi instructor in the country.
And the other key point:
The question is how many other American “Saifullahs” are practicing taqiyya and since when? Are the urban jihadists in numbers greater than what we think or our defense and national security institutions thinks? How many U.S.-born terror combatants have been able to perform perfect taqiyya for 10 or 20 years until today? Does our government know what this doctrine is all about and, more importantly, are authorities educating the body of our defense apparatus regarding this stealthy threat dormant among us?
Professor Phares one more time made pput his finger on the bleeding wound. This country is penetrated by the Jihadi enemy and we need to confront it. In few years, they will be in greater numbers and deeper infiltration. We need to act now.
