Islam and the PentagonReader comment on item: The Caliphate: Updates Submitted by Always On Watch (United States), Dec 15, 2005 at 20:43 Donvan mentions the following:Reports have it that the Pentagon is examining the possibilty that the "Koran", is in fact, a .."MANUAL OF WAR..". And that "Islam is an ideological engine for war..." and that ,"Unlike Judaism and Christianity Islam advocates expansion by force". As reported in Front Page Magazine @ http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=20539 , the Pentagon study is focusing on three stages of jihad: "The internal document explains that Islam divides offensive jihad into a 'three-phase attack strategy' for gaining control of lands for Allah. The first phase is the 'Meccan,' or weakened, period, whereby a small Muslim minority asserts itself through largely peaceful and political measures involving Islamic NGOs -- such as the Islamic Society of North America, which investigators say has its roots in the militant Muslim Brotherhood, and Muslim pressure groups, such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations, whose leaders are on record expressing their desire to Islamize America. "In the second 'preparation' phase, a 'reasonably influential' Muslim minority starts to turn more militant. The briefing uses Britain and the Netherlands as examples. "And in the final jihad period, or 'Medina Stage,' a large minority uses its strength of numbers and power to rise up against the majority, as Muslim youth recently demonstrated in terrorizing France, the Pentagon paper notes." I predict that CAIR is going to fight the study which the Pentagon is undertaking. Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
