The global terrorism threat is real.
What should Americans do about it?

If you are one of the millions of Americans who believes you can afford to kick back and relax and watch while your government wins the war on terrorism for you, you are sadly mistaken.  Despite what you may have been told, this is a cultural and religious war that cannot be won without the active participation of every citizen of the United States of America.
 
While it may be true that the average "moderate" Muslim presents little or no threat to our society,  Radical Islam comprises an estimated ten percent of the over one billion Muslims on earth and their numbers are expanding daily. This is a culture that is totally committed to the overthrow of secular democracies and to converting or killing every non-Muslim on the planet in the name of Allah (God). They are organized and they are informed and they are using the liberties and freedoms we take for granted in America against us in insidious ways to defeat us.  This happened in Lebanon (read Because They Hate- by Brigitte Gabriel) and in Germany when the Nazis were allowed to take over. (Watch the video: "OBSESSION"-Radical Islam's War Against The West)

Americans cannot afford to be complacent while history repeats itself again. We must take this threat seriously if we want our culture of religious freedom, justice and liberty to continue to exist .  Evil does not disappeared of its own accord, it can only be defeated using a
wareness and pro-active involvement. Get involved. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

For America) at www.ActForAmerica.org.

Apostates of Islam

UNDERSTANDING ISLAM

Q: Why are so many (ten percent or more) of Muslims radicalized terrorists? 


A: Perhaps because their founder was. The following description of Islam's 'prophet' appears on the website Apostates of Islam (
www.apostatesofislam.com). 

 “One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives and their “right hand possessions” (Quran 33:50) He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way. Muhammad was a narcissist like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he was entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds were justified."

 

Keep in mind that most Muslims are illiterate so they have only been exposed to the passages in the Quran their Imams recite. Only a small percentage of the 1.2 billion Muslims around the world have actually read the Koran from front to back for themselves or managed to read a biography of their leader.

 For more information on Islam, read the book, "The Truth about Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion" (pub. 2006) by Robert Spencer.

Date: November, 2009

 

 

THIS SPEECH CLEARLY SHOWS OUR SITUATION IN THE WORLD.....WELL WORTH READING !


Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of Parliament. 


 

America as the last man standing

'In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe?'



 

Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York, introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem
dear friends, Thank you very much for inviting me.
 I come to America with a mission.  All is not well in the old world.  There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic.  We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe.  This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West.  The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe .  Then, I will say a few things about Islam.  To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.

The Europe you know is changing.

You have probably seen the landmarks.  But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world.  It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.

All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen.  And if they are, they might regret it.  This goes for the police as well.  It's the world of head-scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners.  The shops have signs you and I cannot read.  You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity.  These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics.  These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe .  These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.
There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe .  With larger congregations than there are in churches.  And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region.  Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden .  In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim.   Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods.  Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.

In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.

Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils.  In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims.  Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'..  Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.

In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin .  The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.

In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves.  Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II.  French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya, Israel .

 

I could go on forever with stories like this.  Stories about Islamization.

A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe .   San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now.  Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.

Now these are just numbers.  And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate.  But there are few signs of that.  The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France.  One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks.  The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate.  Muslims demand what they call 'respect'.  And this is how we give them respect..  We have Muslim official state holidays.

The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority.  We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey.

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots.   Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus.  I call the perpetrators 'settlers' because that is what they are.  They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam.  Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries.  Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet.  His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized.  Now, if Mohammed had   been a man of peace, let us say like Gandhi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem.  But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time.  Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed.  Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza.  If it is good for Islam, it is good.  If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion.  Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins.  But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person..  Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life.  Islam means 'submission'.  Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia.  If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran.  The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor.  I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times.  I support Israel.  First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance.   Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia .   Israel is simply in the way.  The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel .  It is a war against the West.  It is jihad.   Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us.  If there would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest.  Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities.  But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values.  On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam.  They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed.  The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning.  It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination.  If they can get Israel, they can get everything.  So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'.  In my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II.  And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat.  Yet there is a danger greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing.  The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine.  An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs.  With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem.

Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts.  My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter by people who fought for it with their lives.  

 

All throughout Europe, American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish.  My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians.  We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in which it was offered to us.  We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams.  Future generations would never forgive us.  We cannot squander our liberties.  We simply do not have the right to do so. 
We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.

Counter Terrorism Electronic Warfare and Intelligence Centre

About the C2I

The Counter Terrorism Electronic Warfare and Intelligence Centre (C2I) is a non-profit operational think tank that provides intelligence mission support to the United States Intelligence Community and Unified Combatant Commands in support of its intelligence missions and interests abroad. Unlike traditional think tanks, C2I is unique in its approach to intelligence collection and analysis through the blending of all-source intelligence collection with a special operations group that provides field operational support through clandestine and covert action to support the intelligence mission.

C2I operates globally addressing both domestic and international emerging terrorist threats. As a center of excellence in intelligence mission support, C2I provides objective research and analysis that helps the Intelligence Community make informed decisions based on actionable intelligence within the context of today's rapidly evolving and highly fragmented state of terrorism on the world stage.

The Intelligence Community relies on C2I for intelligence collection, analysis, and the provision of actionable intelligence that will help the intelligence community prevent, preempt, and deter terrorist attacks on our nation, allies, and its critical infrastructure.

C2I provides three centers of excellence to the Intelligence Community and Unified Combatant Commands:

  1. Intelligence Group (IG): Counter Intelligence, Intelligence Collection, Intelligence Analysis, and Intelligence Mission Support
  2. Special Operations Group (SOG): HUMINT (Human Intelligence) Operations, Covert Action, and Clandestine intelligence collection operations domestically and overseas
  3. Network-Centric Warfare Group (NWG): Analysis of electronic and network-centric warfare capabilities, steganography practices, and covert communication over the Internet

By codifying knowledge across the entire intelligence spectrum, C2I is able to provide thought leadership and mission support services to the Intelligence Community with the following objectives:

  • Intelligence and Counter Intelligence Deliver to the Intelligence Community a full spectrum of actionable intelligence analysis collected at the intersection of all-source intelligence collection from collectors and the Special Operations Grou, information sharing, and forward thinking in high operational tempo (OPTEMPO) environments. Developing and executing the Intelligence Community's intelligence vision, methodologies, and infusing intelligence capital and best practices into intelligence support missions. Provide a full range of intelligence support services to the Unified Combatant Commands and federal law enforcement agencies. C2I SMEs bring functional intelligence experience, operational mission experience, and expertise with applying best practices to the Intelligence Community's missions;
  • Network-Centric Warfare Provide SME and operational field support to the Intelligence Community on the evolution of terrorism towards Network Centric Warfare and Information Operations. The United States has arrived at an intersection between fourth generation warfare (4GW) and terrorism, creating a blended threat of conventional forces and cyber terrorists; a return of warfare to a decentralized form. This new state of terrorism has created an evolution from the traditional terrorist to that of an asymmetric warfare strategy using network-centric operations to augment the conventional forces of the terrorist groups;
  • Special Operations Provide field mission support to the Unified Combatant Commands and Intelligence Community able to serve on the front lines of HUMINT collection overseas and domestically. The Special Operations division will perform a full range of steps leading to the clandestine recruitment and handling of sources with access to vital foreign intelligence. Operatives are engaged in the full cycle of clandestine operations while serving in overseas and domestic assignments. The SpecOps division plays a critical role in giving the United States and its foreign interests the intelligence needed to develop and implement US foreign and national security policy and protect US interests here and abroad. The SpecOps division handles assignments in Human Intelligence collection, counter intelligence, and covert action operations.
    Tribalism is a fundamental component of the human survival formula. Males are born hard-wired to "mark their territory" and express dominance. It is Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest in action and it works to produce future generations of human beings who are stronger, more capable and more dominant than previous generations. The strongest males become the leaders and quite often, they lead their tribe to expand their territory, either literally by conquests of nearby countries or intellectually, by spreading their tribe's cultural philosophies. These hard-wired attitudes predictably produce much violence, hatred and war. World peace will never arrive until we as a species come to recognize this fundamental dynamic and dedicate ourselves to changing our own paradigm by becoming a truly peace-loving species instead of a species that respects violence and accepts domination. -Michael Jaquish

    Senate report: Bin Laden was 'within our grasp'

    By CALVIN WOODWARD, Associated Press Writer

    Sun Nov 29, 9:00 am ET

     

    WASHINGTON – Osama bin Laden was unquestionably within reach of U.S. troops in the mountains of Tora Bora when American military leaders made the crucial and costly decision not to pursue the terrorist leader with massive force, a Senate report says.

    The report asserts that the failure to kill or capture bin Laden at his most vulnerable in December 2001 has had lasting consequences beyond the fate of one man. Bin Laden's escape laid the foundation for today's reinvigorated Afghan insurgency and inflamed the internal strife now endangering Pakistan, it says.

    Staff members for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Democratic majority prepared the report at the request of the chairman, Sen. John Kerry, as President Barack Obama prepares to boost U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

    The Massachusetts senator and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate has long argued the Bush administration missed a chance to get the al-Qaida leader and top deputies when they were holed up in the forbidding mountainous area of eastern Afghanistan only three months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

    Although limited to a review of military operations eight years old, the report could also be read as a cautionary note for those resisting an increased troop presence there now.

    More pointedly, it seeks to affix a measure of blame for the state of the war today on military leaders under former president George W. Bush, specifically Donald H. Rumsfeld as defense secretary and his top military commander, Tommy Franks.

    "Removing the al-Qaida leader from the battlefield eight years ago would not have eliminated the worldwide extremist threat," the report says. "But the decisions that opened the door for his escape to Pakistan allowed bin Laden to emerge as a potent symbolic figure who continues to attract a steady flow of money and inspire fanatics worldwide. The failure to finish the job represents a lost opportunity that forever altered the course of the conflict in Afghanistan and the future of international terrorism."

    The report states categorically that bin Laden was hiding in Tora Bora when the U.S. had the means to mount a rapid assault with several thousand troops at least. It says that a review of existing literature, unclassified government records and interviews with central participants "removes any lingering doubts and makes it clear that Osama bin Laden was within our grasp at Tora Bora."

    On or about Dec. 16, 2001, bin Laden and bodyguards "walked unmolested out of Tora Bora and disappeared into Pakistan's unregulated tribal area," where he is still believed to be based, the report says.

    Instead of a massive attack, fewer than 100 U.S. commandos, working with Afghan militias, tried to capitalize on air strikes and track down their prey.

    "The vast array of American military power, from sniper teams to the most mobile divisions of the Marine Corps and the Army, was kept on the sidelines," the report said.

    At the time, Rumsfeld expressed concern that a large U.S. troop presence might fuel a backlash and he and some others said the evidence was not conclusive about bin Laden's location.




    STEALTH JIHAD (A book by Robert Spencer)

     EXPOSED: The Islamic plan to conquer the U.S. — not by terrorist acts, but by stealth

     "A vital wake-up call of a book."
    - Former CIA Director R. James Woolsey

    There hasn't been a terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, and Al-Qaeda is on the run in Iraq -- and yet the terrorist threat is far from over.

    In fact, it's more severe than ever: in our country Islamic jihad groups and their allies are concentrating not solely on terror attacks (although another one of those could come any moment), but on stealthy efforts to introduce Islamic law into this country, step-by-step, bit-by-bit -- until finally America is transformed into an Islamic state.

    While the stealth jihadists may never attain this goal, they are already eroding our freedoms as they demand ever more accommodation of Islamic principles and practices -- and politically correct public officials are only too happy to oblige. Now, in Stealth Jihad: How Radical Islam is Subverting America without Guns or Bombs, jihad expert Robert Spencer unveils the full scope of the stealth jihad plan, and explains how the stealth jihadists are operating and the victories they've already achieved.

    Advancing Islamic supremacism in America — by stealth:

    • Terrorism without terror: the stealth jihadist plan to wage a "grand jihad" aimed at "eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within"
    • How stealth jihad efforts and jihad violence work hand-in-glove for the same goal
    • The main player in the stealth jihad: the shadowy, sinister, internationally powerful Muslim Brotherhood
    • The partners: the "moderate" American Muslim organizations that are actually part of the stealth jihad
    • How Islamic law teaches warfare against and the subjugation of unbelievers -- by any means possible
    • Islamic law: the many ways in which it contradicts American law and custom
    • How the common practice of Islamic organizations labeling all critics of jihadist activity as "bigots" and "hatemongers" helps advance the stealth jihad
    • Washington's politically correct policy of avoiding all mention of "Islam" and "jihad" in connection with terrorism -- How this not only plays into the hands of the stealth jihadists, but was actually adopted on the advice of Muslim Brotherhood operatives
    • How Islamic groups worldwide are using "hate speech" laws to try to criminalize free discussion of Islamic terrorism -- even in the United States
    • The legal jihad: how stealth jihadists use the courts to battle against their critics -- and anti-jihadists in general
    • Your house is our house: How efforts to force American businesses to change their practices to accommodate Islamic law are part of the stealth jihad, and have stepped up considerably in recent years
    • Prayer returns to public schools! (As long as it's Islamic prayer, it's just fine)
    • How efforts at accommodation of Muslims again and again result in Islamic dominance and supremacism
    • Separate and unequal: Islamic separatism in America
    • Don't want to pay interest on your credit card? Simple: Just tell the company you're Muslim! How Western financial institutions are bending over backwards to accommodate Islam
    • Readin', writin', and subjugatin' the infidel: The stealth jihad in American schools
    • How American public school textbooks have been Islamized under the noses of education authorities -- and often with their naïve complicity
    • Education or indoctrination? The Islamic ideological straitjacket in American universities
    • Saudi money and what it buys in American universities today
    • Compromised: Islamic terror groups' infiltration of the FBI, CIA, and Pentagon

    Spencer also explains how the stealth jihadists can be stopped, detailing a ten-point plan that is far from politically correct, but may be our only option for survival as a free people.

    Here, then, is a much-needed wake-up call about a sinister agenda that could destroy the United States, unless Americans discard political correctness and face the threat squarely and fully. Stealth Jihad shows how we can, and how we must.



    IS THIS (BELOW) A SHINING EXAMPLE OF WHAT ROBERT SPENCER IS WARNING US ABOUT?  -MJJ

    OBAMA APPOINTMENT: Arif Alikhan, Asst Secretary DHS

    Arif Alikhan, currently deputy mayor for the city of Los Angeles, was appointed as assistant secretary for the Office of Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security.

    Muslim Democrats welcome Alikhan’s appointment

    At a banquet/fundraiser for the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California last weekend, the first speaker was Arif Alikhan (Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles - in charge of public safety for the city). He bid  farewell, as he is going to take a post as Assistant Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. Arif Alikhan is a devout Sunni and the son of Pakistani immigrants (here).

     ....speakers included Arif Ali Khan, the former Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles. He bid the attendees farewell as he  prepared to leave the Los Angeles area for Washington, D. C. There he will serve as Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

    Professor Agha Saeed of the American Muslim Task Force (AMT) spoke of the aftermath of 9/11 and the struggle of the Muslim Community against the pervasive atmosphere of Islamophobia and hatred. It was a struggle against the tide - a very strong tide - to prevent Muslims in America from being marginalized and silenced.

    Professor Saeed ....issued five demands from Muslims to the Department of Justice. These demands included a cessation to the infiltration by spies of mosques and an end to the introduction of agents provocateur. In addition there was to be a cessation of attempts to undermine Muslim groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).

    This is where Alikhan spoke? He was comfortable with this terror talk?

    Why Alikhan? DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano noted Alikhan’s “broad and impressive array of experience in national security, emergency preparedness and counterterrorism.” I am not sure what she is talking about (neither is she, I am sure.) 

    Arif Alikhan was appointed Deputy Mayor of LA - picked from relative obscurity.

    He began his career seven years ago, when he took a job with the Department of Justice hunting down computer hackers, crooks who were selling merchandise on Ebay at rock-bottom prices. In his former position as an assistant US attorney, Alikhan consistently did his work accurately and silently, never producing any headlines. But then he suddenly became one of the most important men in Los Angeles, America's second-largest city after New York.

    He took the position of Deputy Mayor in November 2006. The year that the Congress went Democrat and history and America took a disastrous turn. How does an obscure bureaucrat a and devout Muslim come to the position of Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles - in charge of public safety for the city? And now Assistant Secretary to DHS?

    Un-indicted co-conspirator CAIR was thrilled at the appointment:

    CAIR-LA Congratulates Calif. Muslim Appointed to DHS Post , Arif Alikhan will serve as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development

     (LOS ANGELES, CA., 5/6/09) - The Greater Los Angeles Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) today congratulated Arif Alikhan on his recent appointment as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

    "Congratulations to Mr. Ali Khan on this well-deserved appointment," said CAIR-LA Executive Director Hussam Ayloush. "Mr. Alikhan's new position reflects his and the community's dedication to helping preserve the security of our country. The American Muslim community can be proud of him."

    In the past few weeks, American Muslim leaders have been urging the Obama administration to be inclusive and to reflect the diversity of our nation as he selects the most qualified public servants to fill important positions.

    Back in 2007, Alikhan was instrumental in removing the Muslim terror tracking plan in LA.

    The controversial Muslim 'Mapping' Plan of the Los Angeles Police Department is now "dead on arrival" according to Chief William Bratton.

    "It is over and not just put on the side," said Chief Bratton in a meeting with the Muslim leadership of Southern California on Thursday, November 15th. The meeting was moderated by Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles, Arif Alikhan and attended by Deputy Chief Mike Downing.

    Chief Bratton acknowledged the hurt and offense caused to Muslims and agreed to send a letter to the Muslim community announcing the official termination of the 'mapping' plan.

    A major reason for the termination of the 'mapping' plan was the Muslim community's vociferous opposition and active civic engagement in making themselves heard beyond Los Angeles. Muslim organizations demonstrated a strong unity of purpose and message on the issue of 'mapping' that led to a position of strength for Muslims in the meeting. Those involved in the initial phases of this controversy were the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, and Muslim Advocates.

    Today, the people of Los Angeles spoke and the City of Los Angeles listened to the collective voice for justice and civil rights.
