This is another article from that list I mentioned in my last post.
It is a very important read for those not clear on whether they will ever be accepted, not to mention, if it is even allowed, as full citizens in the kufr lands. I know what you are saying, “Who would want to after this war on Islaam and the Muslims has started?”
But some in the Ummah feel that voting for a senator or President will protect Muslims from scrutiny and give them equal standing beside Kuffar.
This article warns the West not to trust Muslims in sensitive positions due to the Islaamic ‘aqeedah. That is right, they understand the ‘aqeedah better than those of us who are Muslims in terms of who deserves our loyalty (Allah subhanatwa’ala).
What are your thoughts?
The courage to admit Muslim danger

It happened again! What are we going to do about it?
Young, good-looking, college graduate, American citizen, Army National
Guardsman, self-proclaimed shooter and gun collector, Muslim convert
... arrested for espionage, possible traitor.
Twenty-six-year-old Spc. Ryan G. Anderson is the man. He's a tank crew
member of the 81st Armor Brigade, training at Fort Lewis near Tacoma,
Wash. Four-thousand strong, they're preparing to leave for Iraq this
week.
Anderson won't be with them. He's under arrest. The Army says he was
taken into custody and will stay behind bars "pending criminal charges
of aiding the enemy by wrongfully attempting to communicate and give
intelligence" to the Islamic militant group, al-Qaida.
Apparently there's enough to hold and charge him.
Would that we'd have the courage to follow through if he's found
guilty of espionage. The firing squad is the historic solution for
those who sell out their country, but I fear in our politically
correct world, that wouldn't happen. But there's another more powerful
reason than political correctness. Religion.
We're in a real war that involves religion. It's arguably the first
such war this country has faced and I'm afraid we haven't the guts or
the heart to handle it properly for fear of offending someone.
Personally, I find treason more offensive.
I hear the usual arguments: Our country was founded on religious
freedom. Everyone has the right to their own religion with no
interference. It wouldn't be right to investigate the religion of
military members.
But accepting that, it follows that even if we see a dangerous pattern
involving individuals of a certain religion, we can't focus on it to
protect ourselves or screen it out.
Talk about being sitting ducks!
Anderson is part of that pattern, which could become more evident, as
the war against terrorism continues.
Air Force translator, Sr. Airman Ahmed Al Halabi, a native of Syria
who moved to Detroit as a teenager, has been accused of relaying
180-plus classified messages from al-Qaida and Taliban terrorists at
Guantanamo Bay.
Capt. James Yee, now Youseff Yee, a former Fort Lewis chaplain, was
accused of mishandling classified documents for terrorists at
Guantanamo, where he was also a chaplain.
An American-born Chinese, raised Lutheran and a graduate of West
Point, he left the military, studied in Syria, converted to Islam,
married a Syrian woman, returned to the U.S. and rejoined the
military.
Mark Fidel Kools, spent his youth in California and is a California
graduate who enrolled in ROTC. He also studied at an Islamic mosque in
Los Angeles and changed his name to Asan Akbar.
Part of the 101st Airborne in Kuwait last March, he rolled grenades
into three tents of sleeping officers and shot at least two in the
back as they ran from the explosions. One man was killed, 15 injured.
Officials reported Akbar had been "having what some might call an
attitude problem." We're told the motive "most likely was resentment"
- about the war against Islamic terrorists.
Apparently, no one paid any attention to the clues - there are others.
Estimates are there are 4,000 to15, 000 (or more) Muslims in the
military. No one counts. Ft. Lewis spokesman Lt. Col. Stephen Barger
says "religious preferences are individual right and responsibility."
Uh-oh. We have a big problem because we're ignoring the implications
and avoiding reality.
How do we know Muslims in the military are loyal to the uniform and
the country?
We don't.
What is there in Islam that leads people to choose it above their
country? These issues don't present with other religions.
We know Islamic teachings say Muslims should not fight other Muslims -
that, in the case of conflict, fealty to Muhammad is supreme.
If that's the case, do we want people of those beliefs in our military
or in places of delicate security where explicit trust is required?
Inasmuch as other Islamic teachings say it's acceptable to lie to
infidels (non-Muslims), whom do we believe?
Ryan Anderson hinted his ambivalence about the United States in one of
his many letters to the editor. He said he had only "kindness,
patience, courtesy and understanding" from Muslims, but "bigotry,
hatred and mindless rage from ... 'educated thinkers' ... in the U.S."
In a 1998 letter, he said: "Today I am a young soldier, sworn to
protect and defend this country. But if tomorrow I find that this
nation is no longer the one based upon the freedom I was taught to
love, I'll have little choice but to go where I can live in freedom."
We're warned of terrorist sleeper cells already in this country. We
know many mosques preach hatred of the West. We know that few Muslims
speak out against the radicals among them and we know Muslims are in
every part of American life.
What we don't know is whom to trust.
We haven't protected ourselves from those with evil intent who hide
among the innocent to perpetuate their intent to destroy us.
If we don't devise a way to re-evaluate Muslims to assure everyone's
safety, we'll lose the war before we fight it - which is exactly the
terrorist's goal.
