Jasser Demonstrates There can be a Moderate Mohammedanism

A symposium on the Fort Dix Six was conducted by National Review Online. NRO provides summaries from Mary Habeck, Victor Davis Hanson, M. Zuhdi Jasser, Daniel Pipes, and Robert Spencer. The opinions of the five are all excellent. Click on the link: “symposium on the Fort Dix Six” to read them all.

I have to tell you the summary I found most heartening was from M. Zuhdi Jasser. I personally have no idea as to who he is; however he is the first Mohammedan that I have read (that has not deserted Mohammedanism) that has spoken out against radical Islamism and radical jihad. This is awesome! If more Mohammedans follow Jasser’s lead and the so-called majority moderate Mohammedans speak out AGAINST radical Islamist terrorists, then there is an actual indication of a transformation that will place Mohammedanism among the religions of the world of which the purpose of most is some kind of path to peace.

If I see that the so-called majority moderate Mohammedan is speaking out to condemn the hatred of radical Islamism/jihad, then I will have to afford respect by calling Mohammedanism by the name they prefer: Islam. Until that day comes I will refer to that faith (death-cult) after the name of its founder: Mohammed.

A transformed Mohammedanism would be a religion that has chosen to selectively ignore the urging of violence against those who do not believe or trust Mohammed’s message as recorded in the Quran and upheld in the Hadith, Sunna and Sharia Law.

Here is M. Zuhdi Jasser’s summary:

News of the FBI’s arrests of six militant Islamists in New Jersey who plotted to kill our soldiers at Fort Dix was met yet again with the same tired responses of shock and dismissal from the mainstream media (MSM) and from major American Islamist organizations. An FBI agent poignantly noted that we “dodged another bullet.” The enemy is certainly rearming and germinating another cell somewhere. Rather than the same old tired minority politics, we in the Muslim community should be accepting the responsibility of cleaning our own house. More Muslims, more media, and more government officials should be noting that:


1) While most Muslims have never met militants like those arrested, Muslim organizations should understand that only Muslims hold the keys to the way to overwhelm and counter the ideology which fuels these radicals. Muslim organizations should be clamoring to expose and infiltrate the ideology and sources which drove these traitors to sprout their radical cell. We need an Islamic vaccine (the separation of spiritual Islam from political Islam) to the virus which afflicted these men. Until Muslim anti-Islamists can defeat Islamism (political Islam) as an ideology, we will not make any headway at preventing the germination of the next cell. We will only be left waiting, praying, for the FBI to help us, yet again, dodge the next bullet.

2) Will the FBI’s success here answer the question as to why we need to protect each and every citizen in America who practices the principle of “see something, say something” as the heroic video-store clerk (“John Doe”) did here? What if this “John Doe” had contrarily chosen to be silent due to a fear of litigation?

3) Will we continue to deny the fact that America is not exactly that far behind Europe in our susceptibility to homegrown terror cells?

— M. Zuhdi Jasser is the chairman of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy based in Phoenix, Arizona. He is a former lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy.

Here is previous post about the Fort Dix Six is HERE.

Fort Dix Six

The homeland instruments utilized in the War on Terror successfully prevented the “Fort Dix Six” from going on a murderous rampage aimed at the American military.

These radical Islamofascists were all foreign born; however one was a naturalized citizen, two were legal permanent residents and three were illegal aliens.

I know it sounds harsh but no Constitutional Rights should be afforded illegal aliens, particularly in the case of committing murder in the name of radical Islam. The other three have a status should embrace Constitutional Rights and due process of law. The three illegal aliens should be treated as combatants without a nation; i.e. POW’s without even the Geneva Conventions granted to them.

Do the illegal alien radical Islamists come from nation that is at war with America? NO! They represent an organization with zero official ties to any government in the world. That means no one signed the Geneva Conventions that represent these murderers. We have a POW camp for such ugly cowards, it is called Guantanamo.

The article I read from CBS News sets forth facts but as at reads towards the end it slants to gaining sympathy for Indigenous Mohammedans. HELLO! The Fort Dix Six lived in America for quite some time among Indigenous Mohammedans. Do you think a Mohammedan informed on them?

In court documents, prosecutors said the suspects came to the attention of authorities in January 2006 when a Mount Laurel, N.J., shopkeeper alerted the FBI about a "disturbing" video he had been asked to copy onto a DVD. (CBS NEWS)

I may be wrong; however when the slanted left CBS News uses the word “shopkeeper” instead of identifying the hero, I suspect it is a non-Mohammedan that does not wish to meet a violent demise by the followers of the Religion of Peace. If I am wrong I apologize now, for it is possible a Mohammedan shopkeeper may also fear for his life. The shopkeeper deserves kudos either way it turns out.

I will update the info when I find who the shopkeeper is; the CBS News story is the first I have read.

The point though is this: The Mohammedans were long time residents planning a long term attack. The War on Terror is real and it still is affecting the American Homeland.

Unlike what Mohammedan attorney claims, this has everything to do with religion.
