Excerpt:
"Jihad is becoming as American as apple pie and as British as afternoon tea." So said American-born Islamic cleric Anwar al-Awlaqi. And indeed, there has been a sharp uptick in jihad activity by Muslims in the U.S. and U.S-born Muslims since Barack Obama has become President, although some law-enforcement officials seem determined not to notice. And in this they are aided and abetted by American Muslim advocacy groups.
Just as al-Awlaqi issued his boast, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) began a campaign against a textbook series because it noted that some Muslims in America are involved in terrorism. This once again raised questions about which side this unsavory Hamas-linked group -- which has just won the ringing endorsement of Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca -- is really on and questions about how aware and prepared law enforcement officials are about the jihad threat in America.
Al-Awlaqi, who was in contact with Nidal Hasan, the jihadist who murdered 13 Americans at Fort Hood in November 2009, and with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the jihadist who tried to bring down an airplane as it landed in Detroit on Christmas Day, had plenty of reason to claim that "jihad is becoming as American as apple pie:" Evidence of U.S. Muslims' engaging in terrorism grows every day.
