for example, this kind of agenda follows the trajectory that it has elsewhere around the world. it ultimately winds up becoming a cancer inside a society. a no-go zones are typically associated with it where the authorities dare not go. sharia law is practiced in the no-go zones and expanded in due course. and ultimately you have the groups like the muslim brotherhood with whom many of these mosques and for that matter, muslim-american organizations of any note, are associated, pursuing a mission that we know, from evidence introduced into another federal trial, is to destroy westernivization from within. that s what s really worrying. ambassador, what do you make of this? i think that there is an atmosphere and a cloud of distrust and fear happening over the muslim community. and i m concerned about this.
we have an imam who was trained in ali czar, the central academic institution of sharia. we have those that promote hamas through public statements. we have people associated with the mosque who, i think, make no bones about their preference for sharia. in fact, that is what the authorities of islam say they are supposed to do and this is the problem. just a second. this is the problem. what sharia commands is jihad. and in pakistan as elsewhere, we see that it s taking the form of the violent kind of jihad and, indeed, sharia law is being encroached into the pakistani system and, indeed, other systems around the world. but also, the stealth jihad and this is the real problem with places like this mosque in more fwre murfreesboro. most of our government is ignoring it.
