Additionaly, under Obama the U.S. can no longer be counted on to stand with Israel in the hostile U.N. environment. The article states,

Surprise! Guess who's biggest Islamic threat

Mar. 12, 2010 - Terror expert Walid Shobat warns that Turkey, a NATO member, is taking a hard turn against Israel. A few months ago a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin indicated that Turkey appeared to be seeking the restoration of the old Ottoman Empire.

The report said Turkey's increasing disinterest in the European Union combined with its efforts to re-establish its influence in Turkic countries of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan and its outreaches to Russian, Syria and Iran are cause for concern.

Walid points out that Turkey was the center of the Ottoman Empire, the last Muslim coalition of nations. He explains, "In 1924, the Caliphate was dismantled by the West, and this is why Muslims hate the West... In 1928, four years later, the Muslim Brotherhood was born. This is the umbrella of all the Muslim terrorist organizations."

'They Need to Be Liberated From Their God'

Mar. 8, 2010 - Mosab Hassan Yousef is the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founder and leader of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. During the past decade he has been a spy for Israel's Shin Bet (similar to our CIA). During that time he slowly became convinced that Christianity was true. His book, "Son of Hamas," describes his journey in detail and sheds much light on the reasons he turned against Islam. He is now an outspoken critic of the violent message of the Koran

"The problem is not in Muslims," he continues. "The problem is with their God. They need to be liberated from their God. He is their biggest enemy. It has been 1,400 years they have been lied to."

Hamas-linked group has deep ties to White House

Feb. 24, 2010 - Last week, President Obama's top adviser on counter-terrorism, John Brennan, spoke at an event sponsored by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

ISNA is known for its enforcement of Saudi-style Islam in mosques throughout the U.S. It was named by the Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in its case against the Holy Land Foundation in Texas.

Leaders of the The Holy Land Foundation were found guilty in 2008 of raising $12 million for the Hamas terrorist organization. They were given life sentences for their actions.

At President Obama's inauguration ISNA President Ingrid Mattson offered a prayer. She also represented ISNA at Obama's Ramadan dinner at the White House.

Islam in Europe

Jan. 14, 2010 - Leah Seppanen Anderson reviews Christoper Caldwell's book, Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: Immigration, Islam and the West. In spite of their apparent strength and wealth, they face a grave threat. Their culture is likely to be extinguished in the near future by Islamic culture.

Moreover, Europeans are politically weak, explains Caldwell, because their leaders have capitulated to political correctness and ideals of diversity, which render them unable to criticize any aspect of Islam.
