A Look Back At 2010: Year Of Bowing To Islam

Sobering and cumulative.

From Creeping Sharia, citing Patrick Poole's essay at Pajamas Media:

Appeasement and outreach are no match for the enemy’s civilizational jihad.

At the end of last year I reflected here at Pajamas Media that 2009 represented a “tipping point for domestic terror.” Grimly, that assessment has borne out — recall the terror attacks aimed at New York City’s Times Square and Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square, the Baltimore recruiting station bomber, and the virtual host of homegrown terror arrests racked up this year.

While the domestic terror trend has continued unabated, elements of pre-violent, or rather stealth, jihad are taking firm root in our government, military, judicial, and educational institutions, without the slightest opposition from the Obama administration and our homeland security agencies. In fact, if we’ve seen anything this year, it has been the willingness of government officials to lend their support to aid this stealth jihad.

The failure to recognize the “civilizational jihad” being waged against us is a bipartisan problem. Driven mainly by Muslim Brotherhood front groups and pushed by non-violent Islamist organizations in the West, the threat remains badly underrated by our national security establishment. But it was placed front and center by the report titled “Shariah: The Threat to America,” issued by the Team B II panel of national security experts including former CIA Director Jim Woolsey and former DIA Director Lt.

What these twelve examples demonstrate is that our national security, intelligence, law enforcement, and diplomatic establishment are utterly defenseless before the stealth jihad that is attacking the heart of our Western society....

We here at IBA covered most, if not all, of the material. But seeing all that dhimmitude in one essay is sobering.

And most of America appears to sleep on. For how long can Americans and the rest of the West slumber?

Why wasn't 9/11 enough to jolt America to her senses about the gravest threat to her liberty in this 21st Century?
