Confirmation Our endless apologies that followed misdeeds
at Abu Ghraib failed to appease the Muslim world. So, too, American prisoners
at Guantanamo Bay had become celebrities; many railed against their supposed mistreatment.
Our leaders promised action, humbled themselves. We were sorry for what we had
done to Muslim combatants.
Since many we have released have returned to their militant
jihad, I’ve had to question the value of our self-flagellation; our persistent Muslim
enemies have never followed our example with apologies or contrition.
In truth, our wrongdoings seldom match theirs. Acts that are
so horrific can cause us to shut down and deny them. Such was the case with
Jessica Lynch. [Jessica Lynch -
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "I was captured,
but then I was OK ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Lynch -]
After being an Iraqi prisoner for a week, she was freed. But
Jessica wasn’t O.K. Details from the Wikipedia article may cause some to wince:
The
authorized biography, I Am A Soldier Too: The Jessica Lynch Story, by Pulitzer Prize-winning
journalist Rick Bragg
states that Lynch had been raped in the three
hours she was unconscious during her captivity, based on medical records and
her pattern of injuries.[16] Lynch does not
recall any sexual assault and was "adamantly opposed to including the rape
claim in the book," but that Bragg wore her down and told her that
"people need to know that this is what can happen to women soldiers".[17] [my
emphasis]
Although I hadn’t expected to know any more about Jessica’s
abuse, I was shocked to hear that it had been even worse. “When she was
released, I was there,” a retired special ops soldier told me. “She had been
brutally raped, although she’d claimed to have been unconscious. But that
wasn’t the worst part.”
I wasn’t sure I wanted to hear what might have been worse.
Scenes of torture in movies are too hard for me to watch; I braced for gruesome
details.
“Her bed was positioned so that her window faced a soccer
field goal post. Every day, under that goal post, one of the soldiers captured
along with her was beheaded. Their remains were buried on the field near the
goal posts. She watched as soccer was played on top of those makeshift graves.”
I shuddered. In my class, earlier that morning, my students
and I had heard about CAIR (council on American Islamic Relations) and their
ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Speaking to us was the author of Muslim Mafia,
David Gaubatz.
“Everything I’ve written [in the book] is based on documents
taken from CAIR headquarters. Those are but a fraction of what we obtained. The
remainder we gave to the FBI. In time, they will be returned to us.”
Then, Gaubatz assured me, there will be a second, perhaps
even more revealing sequel. That made me wonder. Muslim Mafia had named
Congressmen with ties to CAIR and had detailed their wrongdoings. “None of them
have sued me,” he said. “They can’t. Everything I wrote came from the
information we retrieved. All of it is documented.”
As if to emphasize that, Gaubatz mentioned what CAIR had
stated when they challenged his right to publish details from the documents
that his son, working undercover, hadn’t shredded as he’d been ordered to do by
his CAIR supervisor. “In front of the judge, they said that those documents
were theirs, not ours. That meant we didn’t have to prove to the judge the
connection of those items to CAIR.”
As for the rest of the more than 11,000 documents, those may
paint an even clearer picture of CAIR’s intentions regarding what has come to
be known as their stealth jihad they share with the ikhwan, the Muslim
Brotherhood.
By now, all of us, unless we are blocked by denial, should
know what that is. It’s a form of civilizational jihad. Such words may be hard
for some to read. Nonetheless, a researcher who works with Gaubatz sent this to
me:
It's not
that we haven't been given fair warning, either: the 1991 Explanatory
Memorandum, in law enforcement hands since 2004 and widely available to the
general public since the 2008 Holy Land Foundation HAMAS terror funding trial,
states quite explicitly that the MB intends to "destroy the Western
civilization from within" "by their [our] hands..."
Then they
even provide a list of their organizations that were then already
operating in the U.S. There are many thousands now.
Another
document that's been in the hands of Western law enforcement/security for a
long time now is the one called "The Project." This one was seized
from the Swiss villa of key MB member Yousef Nada shortly after the attacks of
9/11.
It's another
revealing look at exactly how the MB intends to conquer Western civilization -
in stages, by a gradual, stepped process modeled after Sayyed Qutb's
"Milestones," itself an essay about the original Muslims and in
accord with Islamic doctrine on abrogation and progressive revelation.
So, the
real take-away for us in the Egyptian example is that, while
violent jihad historically is the preferred method for Islamic
takeover, the stealth jihad can be even more insidious, and therefore
dangerous, to societies unaccustomed to methods that turn their own freedoms
and openness against them…
More than ever, it’s impossible for me not to think about what
happened to Jessica Lynch while she was unconscious.
