"...CAIR vice-chairman Ahmad Al-Akhras is on his way out of his long-time cushy government job with the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC), where Al-Akhras is currently assistant director of transportation." -- from this article by Patrick Poole

A compilation of those Muslims, pursuing the Jihad from government offices should be compiled.

For there are enough examples already -- in Houston, in Boston, in Michigan -- that support the unsurprising conclusion that those whose sole loyalty is to the cause of Islam and the umma (and that is what Islam inculcates, even if not everyone is a "good Muslim" and takes that message always and everywhere to heart) -- will obviously use their government service to further the cause of Islam, in any way that they find possible.

In Boston, for example, it was a Mr. Mohammad in the Boston Redevelopment Authority who worked tirelessly to ensure that city-owned land, strategically placed right in the heart of an area, Roxbury, that had already long been the target of campaigns of Da'wa directed at blacks (who were told nothing about Arab slave traders or the fact that only due to Western pressure was that slave trade ended, nor about the entire absence of "social justice" in Muslim lands, nor about Islam as a vehicle of Arab supremacism). He not only helped, burrowing from within, to have that city land sold to Muslim interests for far below the market price, but himself went off on a mysterious, as yet unexplained trip (and paid for with funds that need explanation) to Saudi Arabia, to talk to the presumed financiers of this venture.

It would be surprising if people who are raised up in Islam, a Total System of Regulation that is most unlike any other of those faiths we call "religions," and taught that they are in a permanent state of war with Infidels, that one must not take those Infidels as friends (though feigned friendship is permitted for the sake of protecting and furthering Islam), did not use whatever power or access to power they possessed to do what they had all their lives been taught that they should do, that they had a duty to do. Why should one be surprised?

The conduct of Jihad does not proceed, it must always be remembered, by terrorism alone. JIhad is simply the struggle -- not necessarily using qital, or combat, to remove all the obstacles to the spread of Islam, until it everywhere dominates, as by right it must, and Muslims rule, everywhere. In the United States , and in most of the Western countries, while terrorism receives all of the attention, other and more effective weapons are employed to push Jihad, and sometimes those weapons are strengthened, inadvertently, by Western governments wishing to "integrate" Muslim populations and wishing, therefore, to do as little as possible to "offend" them. But Muslims will always and everywhere be "offended" by attempts by Infidels to defend or cling to their own political and legal institutions, the product, over time, of Infidels expressing Infidel views, including the astonishing -- to Muslims -- idea that the expressed will of the people, and not the will expressed by a distant and whimsical deity (Allah), should be the source of political legitimacy.

In North America and Western Europe, the most effective weapons of Jihad -- that is, the most effective weapons to slowly but inexorably move toward the final goal of Muslim dominance, and a change in the Infidel institutions so that there is nothing left to oppose, or be an obstacle to, or stand up against, the forces of Islam -- have been the Money Weapon, campaigns of Da'wa, and demographic conquest.

In Boston, that city employee was essentially working as an agent of Islam. Has he been fired? What has happened to him? Does anyone know? Should the experience in Boston, and experiences with Muslim employees elsewhere (including some amazingly permitted to work in the visa sections of our embassies in Arab and Muslim lands, that is permitted to have a say on who is admitted to our country) should give everyone not only pause, but make them turn their own pause into a permanent halt to such dangerous burrowing-from-within employment.

The case of this employee whose loyalty, one can be sure, is to CAIR (of which he is a high official) and the cause that CAIR cares about, and not anything else, is only one more example. An obvious one.

But what about those unobvious ones? Those who do not join CAIR, who smile, and lie low, and seem to be just swell? Any worries? None? So a job as, say, Air Traffic Controller, or a job deciding who gets to be hired as an Air Traffic Controller, or a job that helps to decide what "outreach" policies by the police toward local Muslims should be included to assuage their indignation, or a job to oversee the selection, and use of informants on potential terrorist activities -- you have no objection to Muslims in these and in many other jobs, as long as they are not egregious members of egregious CAIR?

The goal of Jihad is to weaken or demoralize or instill fear in Infidels and in the stoutness of their defense, their attachment to, their own legal and political institutions and social arrangements and hierarchies of value, in order to cause them to remove "every obstacle" to the spread of Islam until, slowly but inexorably, the numbers of Muslims (through campaigns of Da'wa as well as through deliberate overbreeding by Muslims and continued immigration that the political figures may be too afraid of offending Muslims to discuss stopping it. And as numbers increase, and the infiltration of academic life (look at the membership of MESA Nostra) is paralleled by the infiltration into local, state, and Federal government, and as levers of power -- to control what is said and not said, to help make easier the task of those sinister financiers in Saudi Arabia and the Emirates and the other Muslim OPEC states, as the money rolls in, not all is being spent on skyscrapers and "development cities" and weapons purchases that beggar the imagination, and on the private luxe, calme, et volupte of private palaces and xanadus and expensive gardens in the desert, and bustard-hunting in Pakistan, and safaris in East Africa, and Western shopping, and season tickets to the brothels staffed with Western girls, and the incessant gambling, and the gold-plated bathroom fixtures installed during summer visits to hotels in Monte Carlo, and the villas in Marbella and the Riviera and the Plantagenet hunting-lodges outside London, and the Aspen ski-lodges the size of the Library of Congress, and all the rest of it -- no, along with all that, tens of billions have been spent, and hundreds of billions will be spent, on what is near and dear to rich Saudis as to poor Pakistanis -- that is to say, the Jihad to spread Islam.

It will be spent, it has been spent, to buy up armies of Western hirelings, not one of whom has been publicly exposed, humiliated, forced to disgorge his profits, or his activities as an foreign agent, whether he receives his money directly or indirectly, having been held up to scorn and ridicule -- mainly to discourage the next paid recruits eager to sign up for the Western Army of Collaborators. Make the price too high, in law and in custom, make sure that the next crop of diplomats to the Arab countries do not, in such numbers, end up as "consultants" helping the Saudis or other Arabs, the next group of journalists tempted to do public relations for the Saudis and Islam will think twice, the next group of businessmen will be forced to weigh the consequences of being shills for that next Saudi effort, abroad or right here.

Everything connects. The attempt to shut down Denmark's Jyllands-Posten, and to scare Danes with death threats, connects to the killing of Buddhist farmers and teachers and monks in southern Thailand, to the secret finaglings that went on at and around the BRA to get that Boston mosque built, to the members of CAIR (and those who are not members, but may be just as dangerous unidentified sympathizers, for now biding their time), who, like Ahmad Al-Akhras, are in positions of power, which power they will inevitably use to further the cause so very dear, the dearest of all, to their hearts, and their minds, and which they will not for one moment lose sight of, in all that they say and do and are: the struggle to further the cause of Islam. That is the classic definition of Jihad.
