Crusader Corner #10: Civilizational Jihad in American Schools

This is what 14 years of two Presidents preaching “Islam is a religion of Peace” and helping fund and push CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations, aka the Muslim Brotherhood) backed programs of “Multi-Culturalism”  in the U.S. will get you. Enough is Enough Folks. Make a Stand for the Soul of this Nation, and the Souls of our Children once and for all. -SF

HOUSTON, Texas — Opponents of a Texas Arabic Immersion Magnet School (AIM) call the pre-K and kindergarten program “civilizational jihad.” The program was imposed by the largest school district in the state, and the seventh largest school district in the United States. Opponents say that Americans simply do not know what is happening in this school, and in America.

The group of protestors billed their event as “Stop the New Jihad!” They say that Americans and Texans in general need to become more educated about Islam and their intent to engage in “civilizational jihad” in America. They warn that the Texas school district is planning to expand grade levels in the AIM school every year.

Local “Stop the Magnet” activist, Liz Theiss told Breitbart Texas, “Civilizational jihad is what we feel is a network operating within the U.S. to promote Arabic culture and language and it operates through stealth within the community to create trust.”

She says this strategy is listed in the Muslim Brotherhood’s Strategic Plan for North America. The plan was seized by the FBI during the largest terrorism financing trial in United States’ history, as written about by Breitbart Texas.

In May 2009, five of the key leaders of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) were sentenced after having been convicted in November, 2008, of providing material support to the terrorist organization.

The HLF, located in Texas, was designated as a terrorist organization by the federal government in 2001. The organization was shut down and its assets were seized because the charity’s primary purpose was found to fund Hamas. Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and other governments.

Julia Appleton told Breitbart Texas, “Some of the funding for the school is linked to Saudi Money. She said it comes from the Qatar Foundation. Appleton added, “I understand students being bilingual but that is not what is happening here.”

Theiss said, “HISD (Houston Independent School District) is relying on questionable organizations to finance its Arabic Immersion program. The Qatar Foundation International has spent thousands of dollars to install Arabic language and cultural programs in schools nationwide.”

Theiss also has an issue in that staffing for schools should go to Americans. She said that an HISD e-mail (attached below) between the school’s coordinator, Mahassen Ballouli, and Nervin Ouida of the Arabic American Cultural & Community Center (ACC) “show a go-to arrangement for Arabic staffing needs.” The e-mail was obtained in an public information act request.

The Houston-area activist continued, “Even for a four hour per week position they feel the need to hire another foreign worker from places like Syria instead of an American-born employee who only speaks English. It is too close for comfort with no security checks on these employees.”

One of those with a different view of the issue, Benjamin Franklin, told Fox 26 News in Houston that the protest is all about “Islamophobia” and fear.

The Houston Independent School District said in an official statement, “As one of the world’s leading energy capitals, Houston has strong economic ties to the Middle East. Additionally, Arabic is the second-most common foreign language spoken at home in HISD. Those factors combine to create a significant demand for Arabic language fluency.”

In late November, Breitbart Texas reported that HISD said that an Islamic State recruiting homework assignment given to high school students “teaches critical and analytical thinking skills using current events.” The assignment was given to ninth graders one school day after the terrorist attacks in Paris.

Breitbart Texas very recently reported that a Texas Imam was forced to resign from his Beaumont mosque for agreeing with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s suggestion that America set-up a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” until further investigation can be done. The Imam, Nidal Alsayyed, said that “they are being told to either support political correctness or leave.” He added that one of the board members at his mosque, the Islamic Center of Triplex, has vocally and financially supported democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.”

The Imam also said that more than 100 Houston area Imams have been asked to leave because of a “political agenda.”

Breitbart Texas’ Bob Price has reported that despite the order to the contrary from Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Syrian refugees have been relocated to both Houston and Dallas. The arrival follows the withdrawal of a request for a restraining order to halt the relocation by the Texas attorney general.

Mental Freelancing

I am a huge fan of mental exercises to keep us sharp and focused in matters relating to security. I equate these drills to dry firing with our weapons: it does not cost us a dime and we maximize our time in the process, cementing the fundamentals. The exercise I will describe below can be thought of as the “What If”  mentality on steroids.

As we go about our daily lives, sometimes we can lose focus of the things that really matter. Necessity dictates that we have to work, put up with people we do not care for, make money, pay bills and repeat. But somewhere in all that the most important thing we have, the innate, God-given drive to survive, the ferocity to destroy anybody that would try to harm us or our family can get diluted or all together lost. Just because we choose to separate ourselves from the violence of the world does not change the fact that you can be either a wolf or a sheep (to quote Denzel Washington from Training Day). We must habitually sharpen that mental blade lest we become dull and in the worst case, another sheep being led to the slaughter. This exercise along with helping you to prepare for the worst, will also help develop that Mental Trigger to act with violence of action when the time comes; I will discuss this topic at length in a future piece.

I propose in addition to having a regimented, all-encompassing training program, pursuing ancillary training and learning as much as we can from whatever sources we can find, that we add to our repertoire a “Mental Dry Fire” exercise I call Mental Freelancing. This exercise draws upon a technique found frequently in military training; Reverse Engineering. When we study how to do something intimately and efficiently we can at the same time, reverse our findings and figure out how to counter it in the most efficient manner. This phrase is most often applied in all strains of engineering obviously, but has an equal value in guerilla and insurgent/Counter-Insurgent warfare.

I will tell you, upon first reading this, you may find it some what disturbing. The US military in developing counter-insurgency techniques in Vietnam felt the same way. The methods of the Viet-Cong and NVA disgusted and scared the hell out most of the conventional, upper echelon leadership in Washington. But ultimately, they found they could either adapt quickly or start learning to eat soup with a knife (to quote a book from the same title by John A. Nagl). Unfortunately, the US Military in Afghanistan  is still learning this painful lesson by trying to just use a bigger knife to eat the soup. But, I digress; Always remember this: In order to defeat your enemy, you must first learn to think like him; Guerilla Warfare 101.

So, as we go about our daily lives this is how you apply this drill. Since there are in-numerable way ways to apply it, I will give you the broad strokes and you fill in the details. These bullet points are in no certain order.

Mapping

• Start trying to memorize the layout and floor-plan of buildings and houses you enter. Identify exits and fire escapes, elevators and stair wells.
• Get a mental picture in your head of where these exits come out at; street locations, subways, etc.
• Do daily memory exercises. There are tons of books on this and tons of ways to do it, find what works for you.
• Apply those memory tricks to practical things in everyday life; license plates, descriptions of people, etc.

Meetings and Interactions with People

• Put yourself in a Terrorist shoes: ask yourself if you were a terrorist where would you put a bomb to attain maximum casualties? If you were wearing a bomb vest, where would you go to detonate it without being detected first? Approach it from the viewpoint of a calculated killer.
• Evaluate the surroundings, ask yourself how you could exploit them to rob, assault, murder or kidnap that person. For each scenario, run a quick sketch in your mind of how you would do it; ask yourself how you would plan for contingencies..the list will be long, but that is OK, jot them down if you can.
• Evaluate the persons mannerisms, how he holds himself, is he aware of his surroundings or totally oblivious? Does he appear armed? Is he carrying a pocket knife that you can see? Does he hold himself in a way that would denote martial arts training? Law Enforcement Training? This of course can be disguised, but most people do not have the discipline too.
• When you enter a place of business, ask yourself how you could rob the place; consider the “strong arm” and “on the prowl” approaches. Identify weak points in their surveillance and physical security. Plan your getaway routes.

Vehicles &  Driving down the Road

• Slide your mind into The Mentality of a car jacker. Ask yourself, what would draw a carjacker to me? When would be the best opportunity to get the car? What ploys and cons would you use to try to stop the car and catch yourself off guard?
• Make a habit of looking in your back seat and floor boards when coming back to your car, not just at night, but 24/7.
• Make a mental note that whenever you stop at a red light, stop sign, etc., to always allow yourself enough room to manuever and escape, even if that means ramming your way out.

These are some broad strokes to get your mind in the right gear. Just remember, nothing is off-limits, never box yourself in when preparing to go to War!

In closing, I wanted to comment on something that has been bothering me:

I see a trend in the civilian training community that I can only describe as “PC Sissy”..it is like the trainers are afraid of offending somebody, most especially the bad guys!! An example that takes the cake IMO can be seen most recently in what equates to the ACLU of the Muslim World, the CAIR (Council on American Islamic relations which is funded by the Muslim Brotherhood btw) putting political pressure on the Navy to STOP using a cardboard target depicting a muslim woman wearing a jihad headband in the SEAL’s Killhouse! I would like to know what PC Govt. wimp leaked this? It had to be somebody inside, it isn’t like any joe blow can come into a Navy SEAL Kill House! Just another sad example of our Government bowing to the demands of our enemies.

(Authors Addendum:  Speaking of PC,  here is the report on The Fort Hood shooting, which cites “Political Correctness” as the main culprit for the FBI and other LE  in not being able to prevent Hasan from killing 13).

Free tip: Stand up for what you believe in and apologize to nobody! PC is another word for coward.
