Excerpt:
At the end of last year I reflected here at Pajamas Media that 2009 represented a "tipping point for domestic terror." Grimly, that assessment has borne out — recall the terror attacks aimed at New York City's Times Square and Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square, the Baltimore recruiting station bomber, and the virtual host of homegrown terror arrests racked up this year.
While the domestic terror trend has continued unabated, elements of pre-violent, or rather stealth, jihad are taking firm root in our government, military, judicial, and educational institutions, without the slightest opposition from the Obama administration and our homeland security agencies. In fact, if we've seen anything this year, it has been the willingness of government officials to lend their support to aid this stealth jihad.
The failure to recognize the "civilizational jihad" being waged against us is a bipartisan problem. Driven mainly by Muslim Brotherhood front groups and pushed by non-violent Islamist organizations in the West, the threat remains badly underrated by our national security establishment. But it was placed front and center by the report titled "Shariah: The Threat to America," issued by the Team B II panel of national security experts including former CIA Director Jim Woolsey and former DIA Director Lt. Gen. Ed Soyster.
