CAIR’s Ismail Royer
Strikes Again; Muslim Schools Front for Islamic Terror?
It was reported in the Washington
Post recently that Senator Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) has renewed
his request for an investigation into two institutes that train Islamic
chaplains for the armed forces. This is in
response
to the recent arrest
of Army Capt. James Yee, an Islamic chaplain attached to the detention
facility located at
While ACAIR commends
Senator Schumer for renewing his request, we would point out the
following instances where both civilian and military law enforcement
authorities failed to take the appropriate action when evidence of a
possible Islamic terrorist threat
presented itself:
1. On
Why
is this significant? Ismail Royer wrote an article for www.iviews.com
(article no longer linked) commenting on the positive aspects of f“tripling the number of
active duty Muslim chaplains available to the U.S. military.”
Who is Ismail
Royer?
Mr. Royer is a Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) officer who is currently
awaiting trial on terrorism related charges. Please
see
ACAIR
press release nr’s 14, 15, 16 & 18 for more
information of the activities of Mr. Royer. In
addition, this prestigious
Point? GSISS
is
suspected of being a terrorist
front group; Ismail
Royer, a CAIR officer writes
good things about the school; Capt. Yee, a suspected spy trained at the
school. This begs the obvious question: Do the various
departments within the federal government
even talk to each other? Did the FBI warn the DoD? Why
or why not?
2. On January 31,
2002, the Miami Herald printed
an article (link requires payment of
fee) by Carol Rosenberg that starts with the sentence,
“You’re
the first-ever American Muslim cleric to minister to a prison camp full
of suspected terrorists
and one confides he has a weapon. Do you keep
the secret?
Or do you
breach religious
confidentiality?”
According to Ms. Rosenberg, the Muslim Chaplain-
Interesting? Lt. Saiful-Islam
would look “for a third way”? A
commissioned officer in the
service of the United States Navy, upon discovering the presence of an
illegal
weapon among suspected terrorists would look “for a third way”? Lt. Saiful-Islam
responded:
A
commissioned officer would deliberately hide the fact that a terrorism
suspect was holding an
illegal weapon in a prison?
Point?
This example, from January, 2002 clearly demonstrates that the
armed forces have had a problem with Muslim chaplains for several years.
3. In the May 30, 2002
edition of The Christian Science Monitor is an article by Phillip Smucker entitled, “The US Army’s men in
black…turbans”. The article relates the
story of US Army Sgt. Mike Dickinson, who “keeps a photograph of
We have Sgt. Dickinson, leader of a psy-ops
team, putting his country on notice that he may refuse, on religious
grounds, to fight those persons he personally does not perceive to be
his enemies?
Point? Sgt. Dickinson could be
representative of the problems the armed forces may have, and will
have,
with possible religious extremists as long as the armed forces practice a
form of “political correctness” that overlooks the extremism of some
followers of the Islamic faith.
ACAIR believes that these few examples clearly indicate that
the armed forces may have a problem in the ranks that is only going to get
worse before it gets better. Why? What is it about radical Islam that prevents
military authorities from taking those steps necessary to root out the
perverted followers of Wahhabi Islam?
Why does the Department of Defense rely on Islamic teaching
institutions that are under a cloud
of suspicion?
Why doesn’t the Department of Defense reach out to more
mainstream organizations and get their assistance in training Islamic
chaplains for our military services?
Military
members are representative of the society they are drawn from. Are we to believe that the violent, perverted Wahhabi sect is representative of Islam in
ACAIR calls on our elected representatives to step up the pressure
on law enforcement and the Department of Defense to exclude the
followers
of Wahhabi Islam from participating in
training programs for the armed forces; to more fully investigate the
background
of chaplain candidates and to drop the dangerous, politically correct
nonsense that is endangering the ability of the armed forces to defend
our great
country.
