The American Standard Bearer

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of Islamia.."

While the politicians and the media look the other way, our country is slowly but steadily sliding towards a day when American flags will be replaced in the classroom and everywhere else with something else, preferably in green. For the most part, the media has ignored the threat from radical Islam because it just seems too far fetched to think that the United States could someday become an Islamic state.

That exact sentiment was held in Europe not too many years ago. Now, many in the know in Europe are predicting that Europe will be Islamic in less than 100 years. Meanwhile, here in America, Islamic organizations are hard at work making sure that one day, an Islamic-American flag flies over the White House.

Recently, I wrote about the pronouncements of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an organization that says on the one hand that they exist to promote harmony between Muslims and non-Muslims while on the other hand, they openly say that their goal is to transform America into an Islamic state.

This Saturday, the Cindy Sheehan road show will stage a rally in Washington. One of the main sponsors and participants of the event (they identify themselves as the Co-Chair) is the  Muslim American Society. The MAS, with more than 50 chapters nationwide, was formed in 1993 as the above-ground arm of an underground Islamic organization known as the Brotherhood.

Last September, the Chicago Tribune published an in-depth article about the Brotherhood from which this excerpt is taken:

Over the last 40 years, small groups of devout Muslim men have gathered in homes in U.S. cities to pray, memorize the Koran and discuss events of the day. But they also addressed their ultimate goal, one so controversial that it is a key reason they have operated in secrecy: to create Muslim states overseas and, they hope, someday in America as well. …

Brotherhood members emphasize that they follow the laws of the nations in which they operate. They stress that they do not believe in overthrowing the U.S. government, but rather that they want as many people as possible to convert to Islam so that one day—perhaps generations from now—a majority of Americans will support a society governed by Islamic law.

According to Daniel Pipes, writer, Harvard graduate and a foremost expert on Mideast policy, "Even if the Muslim Brotherhood is not specifically associated with violence in the United States (as it has been in other countries, including Egypt and Syria), it is deeply hostile to the United States and must be treated as one vital component of the enemy’s assault force."

Tomorrow, as politicians and celebrities fall all over themselves to bask in Cindy Sheehan’s limelight, bear in mind who’s paying for the party.
