Define Terrorism Supporter

There are many people who are conducting outstanding counterterrorism work. HINT: It is not your major news networks and their teleprompter investigative journalists. The best of the best is Steve Emerson.

We all do our best to provide factual information based upon what many of us have worked on for decades. Many of us were trained by our government. I do not consider myself to be an “expert,” but believe I have the background to educate citizens, law enforcement, and our elected officials on terrorism issues related to radical Islamic-based organizations. I have written numerous articles, conducted radio and television interviews, and it has become almost a prerequisite that not only I, but any counterterrorism speaker, must qualify my remarks with, “Of course not all Muslims are bad.” Why does this statement continually have to be made?

During the Korean War, did speakers have to make a preliminary statement that not all North Koreans were bad? Did they have to say during WWI and WWII that not all Germans werre bad, or that not all Japanese were bad? What about the Cold War with Russia? Did we have to start every interview or article with, “Well, not all Russians are bad”?

Of course we didn’t. There are two possible explanations for this:

1. Media personnel and others with an ounce of sense from the left were intelligent enough in the early to mid-1900s to understand the intent of a debate without having to repeat same mantra each and every time.

2. People on the left and right both had basic common sense.

For the time period prior to September 11, 2001, I believe the answer is number “2” above. People had enough common sense to realize a person should not have to always make such a qualifying statement that not all Japanese were bad people who happened to have an atom bomb dropped on them, killing millions. We were at war and we understood war was essentially between “elites” in one country fighting the “elites” in another, and both sides were powerful enough to form large military forces to do the fighting. The people caught in wars are always innocent. Does anyone know of a child who was ripped apart or burnt to death by the atom bomb who was not innocent?

So it is time for Americans and all innocent people who are caught in the middle of the war against Islamic terrorist-based groups to begin understanding why you feel an obligation to repeatedly say, “Well, I know there are good Muslim people.” It is time to stop playing into the hands of Islamic terrorists and their supporters. Just as when Mrs. Clinton visited the Middle East she felt she had an obligation to cover her head, Islamic terrorist-based groups are “conditioning” us to do what they desire. They say you must wear a headdress while in the Middle East and we comply. They say we must allow “Muslim prayer rooms” in a school, office, or airport and we comply. They say we can’t search Muslim females going through security, or a Muslim female can cover her face for a driver’s license and we comply. They tell us our security methods are too stringent on the Muslim people and our law enforcement officers comply and do not enter a mosque unless it has been approved by Congress. They tell us to ignore obvious signs that a United States mid-level officer wanted to kill Christians and Jews, and whose allegiance to the Almighty Allah meant that he would even kill children before he would serve his country and pledge his total allegiance to his country, president, and fellow officers. CAIR, many Imams, and numerous Islamic scholars have fought for years to tell you that the terrorist ideology of the likes of Maj. Hasan (Islamic terrorist and murderer) is protected. We complied and innocent people died at Fort Hood. This Christmas, these men and women’s families will not have them home. Who is protecting the other millions of innocent men, women, and children worldwide? What about here in America?

I am speaking to families now. Are you betting the life of your son or daughter that our government is protecting them from Islamic terrorist groups? Are you relying on the vast majority of elected officials that they have the interests of your children first? What about our law enforcement and military? Do you feel they are trained to fight Islamic terrorist groups when our administration will not even allow them to use the term “Islamic terrorist?” Fellow Americans, our politicians and most media organizations are leading you to a false sense of security. It seems our government will back the rights of an Islamic terrorist supporter such as CAIR, ISNA, MSA, or MANA, to name a few, before they will protect the rights of your innocent child.

Recently, I listened to one of CAIR’s terrorist supporting friends, a man who calls himself Shaykh Khalid Yasin. He is now living in Britain because the British people have been conditioned by Islamic terrorist groups to prosecute Christians for hate speech. Yasin and his cronies know they are safe in Britain.

One may well ask what Shaykh Yasin has said that could be used to show he supports Islamic terrorists. During my travels north, south, east and west within our country, I have amassed almost 5,000 lectures, books, manuals, and DVDs that are being distributed all across our country. They are filled with hate and violence – yet our politicians and media seemed surprised when attacks similar to Maj. Hasan’s are carried out. They ask why. I ask, why are they asking?

Shaykh Yasin is a friend of Siraj Wahhaj, Wahhaj is a friend of CAIR, and CAIR is a friend of Congressman Keith Ellison and dozens more. I encourage all to listen to 90-plus minute talk titled “From the Root to the Fruit.” In it, Yasin discusses the Muslim youth’s role in the future of the Islamic Ummah. Yasin very clearly informs young children that even a Muslim who has committed the most atrocious and violent act against young children (as in pedophiles), rapists, mass murderers, al Qaeda members, and yes, even people like Maj. Hasan from Fort Hood, are better people than even the best Christian or Jew.

What lesson is this to American Christians and Jews? Regardless of whether you currently “cuddle up” to CAIR, shake hands with Siraj Wahhaj, or laugh with the Imams from Dar al Hijrah, they are teaching their children to hate you and if the time comes, to kill you.

I will end this article by pleasing the PC gods. “There are good Muslim people in America.” I will also say that these good Muslim people need to stop supporting CAIR, Siraj Wahhaj, Yusef Estes, Bilal Phillips, and demand that their Imams remove materials by convicted terrorists from their mosques and Islamic Centers. It is difficult for most Americans to believe a person is sincere about Islam being a religion of peace if millions of Muslims are allowing their leaders to distribute material filled with hate, calling for America and Israel’s destruction, and who are allowing the Wahhajs and Yasins to openly advocate violence and support Osama Bin Laden more than they would the leaders of the country in which they reside.

For the Muslims who do not study their own religion and do not believe their Islamic leaders may be advocating violence, I respectfully ask you to contact me at davegaubatz@gmail.com. I will respectfully provide you the titles of books, DVDs, other materials, and violent/convicted terrorists your center supports. These good Muslims, Christians, and Jews should work together to close down CAIR, ISNA, MSA, and MANA. Good Muslims know what the leaders of these organizations truly advocate. Be like the brave Rifqa Bary: stand up and be heard. Otherwise, people do not know if you support terrorist groups or if you support America.
