Do You Still Doubt The Global Caliphate?

     You know, I look back over my thoughts of the last year-and-a-half that I've been writing this blog and the issues that I've felt were important to share, and it is amazing how far we've come in our national "transformation".
     Blog posts on food storage, firearms training, and threats to our Constitution seem "old hat" now.  If you haven't sought information on these topics yet, then you are waaay behind the curve.  Because, in case you haven't noticed, the intent to change our American way of life has come out of the shadows and it is much more "in your face".  Whether it is the hijacking of our education system through the Common Core Standards, the intimidation by the IRS of anyone who doesn't agree with the Party in power, or the metamorphosis of our law enforcement system into using military-style tactics --- it's all designed to change the very foundation of this country.  And this realization leads me to a news item that I found not only disturbing, but quite alarming.

     Last week, The Clarion Project reported on the building of a 15-acre, $100 million mega-mosque in Maryland.  Nothing illegal there; we have freedom of religion in this country.  But The Clarion Project, which is a non-profit organization that draws together Middle East experts, scholars, human rights activists and Muslims to promote tolerance and moderation and to challenge extremism, says there is much more to this "Largest and most striking example of Islamic architecture in the western hemisphere."
     Indeed, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, who visited the site, warned an audience in attendance that there are groups in America promoting “Islamophobia.”  He branded such potential critics as paranoid bigots.  And to further his "official" statement about the virtues of Islam, he attempted to stage a meeting between the President and the father of one of the Islamists killed while on a Turkish flotilla which was trying to break Israel’s weapons blockade on Gaza.  Alas, he had to settle for John Kerry.
     But behind the scenes there was a more disturbing narrative.  Also in attendance at the media blitz for the mega-Mosque were the leaders of two U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entities.  One of the men is Naeem Baig, the president of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA). A 1991 U.S. Muslim Brotherhood memo lists ICNA as one of “our organizations and the organizations of our friends.” The memo says its “work in America is "a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within.”  Comforting, isn't it?
     The second official from a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity that attended the event was Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). ISNA and several of its components are listed as U.S. Muslim Brotherhood fronts in the same 1991 Brotherhood memo. ISNA was also an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case, dubbed the largest Islamic terror-funding trial in the history of the U.S.  Federal prosecutors in the case also listed ISNA as a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity.
     I'm sure you are aware that outspoken critics of the Muslim Brotherhood, like Glenn Beck and former UN Ambassador John Bolton, have warned about the desire for the establishment of a global Caliphate, which is an Islamic state led by a supreme religious as well as political leader.  They've been laughed at and mocked by the MSM.  I don't know about you, but the statement above by the ICNA seems to go a long way towards substantiating their claims.
     If you still need convincing, consider this: the Turkish government has been quietly spreading its influence in the U.S., but Erdogan's public invovlement in the building of this center takes Turkey's "outreach" in America out of the realm of the subtle.
     The Clarion Project also recently reported on the growing ties between the Turkish government and Native American tribes. With Congress' help, thousands of Turkish contractors and their families may be flooding into America's heartland and settling in semi-autonomous zones of the Native Americans, well out of the reach of American authorities.  Why would that be, do you think?

Various organizations operating within
the Gülen Movement 

     And if you think all this is subtle maneuvering by the Islamists, there is an even more frightening aspect to their influence.  Right here in Texas, there is an investigation into the Cosmos Foundation, a charter school operator founded a decade ago by a group of professors and businessmen from Turkey. The group, currently using the name Harmony Schools, has become the biggest charter operation in the state.  True, its primary mission is educating schoolchildren, and it has carefully garnered a reputation for elevating our failing educational rates in the areas of math, science, and computer technology -- which makes it quite attractive to parents who want their children to be in the top percentile.  But what better way to infiltrate this foreign agenda than through our schools and our children's education?  But the Cosmos Foundation has also forged ongoing relationships with a close-knit network of businesses and organizations run by Turkish immigrants. Some of those founders, as well as school operators, and many of their business suppliers, are followers of Fethullah Gülen.
     This is important to Americans because Turkey’s regression from a secular democracy into an Islamic state may be based on this educational movement that has also taken root in America.  Imam Fethullah Gülen and his Gülen Movement (GM) have had enormous influence in setting the increasingly Islamist agenda in Turkey.  In fact, in Turkey, 75 % of the nation’s two million preparatory school students are enrolled in Gülen institutions. In America, GM runs the largest charter school network in the nation.  When you connect the dots, don't you think all this information is worthy of our scrutiny and our concern?
     And in case you think that the notion of a global caliphate is just more conspiracy poppycock, you should do your research on Turkey.  Turkey has long desired to see itself revived as the mighty Ottoman Empire; and coupled with Erdogan's movement towards making it a strong Islamic state, the global Caliphate could certainly be emerging.  If you're still in doubt, consider this:  In Turkey, college admissions have been changed to favor religious students, the military has been gutted of its secular generals (with one in five generals currently in prison on dubious charges) and women have been routed out of top government jobs. Honor killings in Turkey increased 1,400 percent between 2002 and 2009. Persecution of artists and journalists has become commonplace as opponents are charged with "crimes" like “denigrating Islam” and “denigrating the state.”
     So if you don't think that the construction of this new center in Maryland, which will have five buildings, including a mosque “constructed using sixteenth century Ottoman architecture that can hold 750 worshipers", is a step by Turkey's leader to push his Islamic agenda in America, then perhaps you need to quit being hypnotized by your Iphone and the propaganda machine of the MSM.  Look ... and I mean really look ... at what's going on in this country and around the world.  America is not only in danger of being "transformed", but of being destroyed from within.  I am so glad that I know God is in control, because when I look at where we're headed .....
