Here’s what I don’t like about the Iranian government:

It is giving bombs to Iraqi terrorists and American soldiers are dying.

It funds Hezbollah, which started a war with Israel during which thousands of civilians were killed.

It is providing sanctuary to Al Qaeda big shots, including bin Laden’s son.

It is a fascist state, where dissent is punished and women are denied many freedoms.

It is actively trying to destroy Israel.

It is actively trying to develop a nuclear weapon, which puts the world at risk.

Iran is the world’s most dangerous nation. So when its President Ahmadinejad announced he was going to visit Ground Zero next Monday morning here in New York City, most Americans — including me — were appalled. And so was the NYPD. And it has denied Iran’s request for security reasons.

U.S. Muslim Brotherhood Groups Called “Threat Organization” in DOD Memo

By Douglas Farah

The following recent, unclassified memorandum, a military intelligence analysis of some of the Holy Land Foundation documents, was sent to me by a friend concerned with these issues. For the first time that I know of, the Muslim Brotherhood organizations in the United States are classified as “threat organization” in an official writing.

It also directly addresses the campaign by Truespeak Institute, led by Jim Giurard, to change the language of the war on terrorism.

J. Michael Waller is an important part of that campaign as well, and, in his recent monograph Fighting the War of Ideas Like a Real War: Messages to Defeat the Terrorists argues, a Giurard does, that one should classify Islamist terrorist attacks as _hirabah_ rather than _jihad_.
