THIS WORLD’S ENEMY IS GLOBAL JIHAD!
We MUST have PROFILING, we’re at War
You can take the boy OUT OF the Country
But cannot take the country out
of the Boy
America is now engaged in a worldwide War
And in no way is it mass worldwide Racial War
Against THOSE BLACK, YELLOW, RED OR WHITE!
America Is Involved in a Titanic RELIGIOUS War with ISLAM.
I’ve been aware of this since my FIRST Middle East AWS Duty
Assignment some 58 years ago among Islamic religion Peoples!
You can take a person out of Islam, but not Islam out of a Person,
Failing to profile Islamic believers may protect their individual Rights,
But it certainly doesn’t protect the rights of those killed by no Profiling!

I have been through Israeli boarding security in Tel Aviv on countless occasions. It is far and away the best security system in the world. If I could afford it I would fly only on El Al Airlines. In Tel Aviv they physiologically and psychologically “look” you over, watching your eyes, body movements, voice inflictions, and demeanor as they ask you simple questions. I learned these techniques and use them. You can tell when someone is lying. You don’t have to be a mechanized lie detector to do it. I am delighted to tell you that, like a mechanized lie detector, I sometimes find I was wrong, so I give believers the benefit of my being wrong, and happily go my merry way assuming I was wrong, so as to follow peace with all men.
America needs to get Israeli experts in the system to conduct classes on the methods they use across America. But we are so caught up in political correctness and a bias against racial profiling, I doubt if we would go whole hog on doing it.
In my first Holy Land assignment I mingled and lived with both Sunni and Shiite Muslims.
In many subsequent assignments in USAF IHL’s I went to school with them, trained them, and mingled with them on military installations and federal office buildings, until I retired from the USAF Branch of the National Security Agency in 1971. Before I retired I became certain of two things: (1) The ten horns in Daniel and Revelation will be Islamic countries, and (2) the Antichrist who leads the ten will come out of the Islamic countries, most likely Syria.
I became convinced what I was taught as a teenager was correct, namely that the Antichrist would come out of Islam from a country immediately north of Israel as Daniel’s “king of the north,” most likely Syria. However, I included southeastern Turkey, Lebanon, and northwestern Iraq as possibilities.
Revelation 13:1 – And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
In Tectonic Chaos, my first book which I wrote in the early seventies, I included the following state concerning Revelation 13:1.
Begin Quote
“[The ten horns of Revelation 13:1 are ten Arab nations who will soon form the nucleus of the seventh kingdom, and the ten crowns are the kings that will rule them. For years we have pictured the typical Arab as a scrawny little fellow on a camel with a comic expression on his face. This viewpoint is quickly changing. Oil is slowly replacing the dollar in international importance – and soon ten Arab nations will have gained economic control of much of the world’s wealth. We will not try to stop them because of the Soviet Union – and the Soviet Union will not try to stop them because of us and Communist China. The world power block will block itself as the ten Arab nations prosper in their midst.]”

Name the enemy
January 3, 2010
, THE JERUSALEM POST
The clear, present and continuing danger posed to Western civilization by the worldwide Islamist terror network cannot be overcome while the American, European and other freedom-loving peoples are neither mobilized nor steeled for the sacrifices ahead.
No serious observer minimizes the perils.
The attack carried out in November at Fort Hood by Nidal Malik Hasan, an American-born Muslim, showed the fatal consequences of not intercepting “ticking bombs.” And the arrests of Najibullah Zazi, David Headley and five young Pakistani-Americans last year in separate plots against America irrefutably established that homegrown jihadists are a threat – just as they are in the UK, Germany and Spain.
While Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab failed to blow up Northwest Flight 253 over Detroit on Christmas Day, this attempted mass murder was only the latest proof that an Islamist terror network, with bases in Africa, Arabia and South Asia, cells just about everywhere else, and a noxious presence on the Internet, sees itself in a relentless state of war with the West.
A RECENT New York Times editorial concluded: “Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen? Americans have a right to feel weary. But the [Abdulmutallab] plot is a warning of why it’s so important to head off full chaos in Yemen. The last thing the world needs is another haven for al-Qaida.”
Indeed. But if Americans are “weary” at this stage of the conflict, it is partly because their leaders – and media
– have not properly framed the nature of the threat.
Neither former president George W. Bush, who spoke mostly of a “war on terror,” nor President Barack Obama, who speaks in terms of “violent extremists” – and no European leader – has had the courage to say that the enemy is global jihad.
The Islamist danger is not primarily rooted geographically – in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Lebanon, Iran or Arabia – but theologically and politically within the larger Muslim civilization.
The only way Westerners can connect the dots – between, say, the devastating attack against Forward Operating Base Chapman near the Pakistani border in Afghanistan (which claimed the lives of seven seasoned CIA anti-terror operatives), and the attempted ax-murder of a cartoonist in the Danish city of Aarhus over the weekend – is for their leaders to plainly say who the enemy is, what they want, and what is at stake if they succeed.
That US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s first reaction to the attack aboard Northwest Flight 253 was to think that it was unconnected to a larger plot, testifies to how hard it will be to change mind-sets. Even Obama’s first reaction was that Abdulmutallab appeared to be an “isolated extremist.”
Yet compared to most other world leaders, Obama is positively Churchillian. He has articulated the right goal: “To disrupt, to dismantle, and defeat the extremists who threaten us…anywhere where they are planning attacks…”
He’s got the metaphysics right: “Evil does exist in the world.” Furthermore, he fully understands the amorphous nature of the enemy, declaring that the “war” is against “a far-reaching network.”
The missing link is naming the enemy. Only then will he be able to talk frankly about how hard – and necessary – it is to find trustworthy Muslim allies.
The murdered CIA agents were likely betrayed by Afghans they trusted. Al-Qaida in Yemen was revived partly when terrorists were freed in a prison break, possibly orchestrated by renegade elements of the Yemeni secret police.
EVEN IF Western leaders did mobilize their societies, the struggle against the Islamist menace would remain wearying. This is an enemy that is often
embedded among civilians and enforces allegiance by beheading those it suspects of disloyalty. Citizens need to know this, to understand why innocent children are sometimes accidentally killed in military operations conducted by allied forces.
Obama needs to tell Americans and Europeans willing to listen that, though the overwhelming majority of Muslims are not terrorists, pretty much all terrorists are Muslim, hence the need for profiling.
An overstretched army, supported by a weary home front, against an ill-defined enemy, does not offer a viable strategy for success.
Better to tell people that the enemy is radical Islam, which wants to spread its religion using the sword, and that defeat would mean an end to Western values of pluralism, minority rights and democracy.

No Holds Barred: The American air farce
January 4, 2010
Shmuley Boteach , THE JERUSALEM POST
I’m sitting at Newark Airport waiting for my wife and nine children to disembark from an aircraft that landed hours ago. They arrived from Chicago, where we all attended a beautiful family wedding. The kids have school tomorrow and would have had a decent night’s sleep, except that some guy wandered backward through an exit and into the secure area of the Continental Airlines terminal, sending the entire airport into lockdown.
(Sometimes I wonder if God is playing a trick by making me the Forrest Gump of current events. How did I ever get into this story?)
My wife is calling me every 10 minutes with an “update”; the pilot will only say they are delayed indefinitely. The entire terminal is being cleared out.
All departing planes are being unloaded and passengers are having to go through security all over again. And all because one guy walked backward through an exit. They’ve scoured the airport and they can’t find him.
How embarrassing.
THIS IS the level of farce that passes for airport security here in the United States. Just over a week ago a Nigerian man sewed explosives into his skivvies and would have blown up hundreds of innocents except that his underwear failed to ignite. The fact that his super-credible banker father had already gone to the American Embassy to warn that his son was an extremist nut wasn’t enough to get his visa revoked or get his name put on a no-fly list. And here we are, just a few days later, and one of New York’s three premiere airports is shut down because a man walked straight through a “secure” exit without being stopped.
Nice to know we’re being protected by the Keystone Kops.
Let’s state the obvious. They can install the most sophisticated machinery. They can X-ray our boxers, they can check for explosives in every bodily orifice, but we’re still not going to be safe; it’s not only people’s bodies but their backgrounds, their nationalities, and especially their eyes.
Israel has the most secure airport in the world. I cannot imagine for a moment that a man with nitroglycerine in his undies would ever have made it on an Israeli plane. And why? Because they would have asked him some simple, direct questions with the purpose of studying his reactions. You’re from Nigeria. You’re going to the US.
Why? How long are you staying? What is your purpose? And where is your return ticket? All along they would be scrutinizing not his bodily bulges but his twitches. What Israel excels at is not even ethnic profiling so much as psychological
profiling.
BUT HOW can we ever hope to study people’s suspicious behavior when Transportation Security Administration agents are wasting their precious time on the most innocent of passengers who don’t fit any kind of terrorist profile? On the way to Chicago last week, my 11-year-old daughter’s backpack somehow merited secondary screening. For 10 minutes a TSA agent performed about seven explosive swab tests on every knickknack a young girl might carry onto a plane. Her reading books seemed to be of particular interest. I could only roll my eyes and pray for patience.
While this went on, approximately 50 adults passed through without any secondary screening because my 11-year-old occupied the agent’s rapt attention. Could this have gotten any more ridiculous?
The answer, unfortunately, is yes. I travel often.
They degree of silliness I have witnessed is staggering. I have seen 70-year-old grandmas with hip replacements being combed by two TSA agents (who knows what those surgeons implanted there!). I once saw an octogenarian with a cane forced to remove his neck brace and have it repeatedly swabbed for explosives.
Good, you say. Terrorists come in many forms.
And if we principally look out for young men from known terrorist countries, the terrorists will quickly adapt and activate their sleeper-agent – Edith from Valley View Retirement Home – to detonate the nitroglycerine hidden in her dentures.
I concede that indeed there have been unsuspecting young female passengers who have been given bombs by their terrorist boyfriends, which is why we have to absolutely check everyone. But airport security is never going to be omniscient, so you need to focus on those who pose the greatest threat.
Nationality is not any real predictor of terror
ism.
Richard Reid was a Briton who was half-Jamaican. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is not from the Middle East, but Nigeria. Timothy McVeigh was an American. But these, and nearly every other terrorist bomber, were males of a certain age group. None were 11-year-olds with schoolwork stuffed in their backpacks who happened to be traveling with eight other siblings. Would it not therefore make sense to concentrate on those who most closely fit the terrorist profile, while letting up on the three-year-olds with their toy tractors?
HERE IS where Israel has a unique opening. A country that routinely gets terrible press because of how effectively its enemies portray it as repressive can come to the West’s rescue with sound advice on how to secure air travel. In the process the West will gain a greater understanding of the level of threat Israel is up against. I’m surprised that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has not already given a major address sympathizing with the American people for the intended attack on Christmas Day and offering Israel’s assistance.
Israel, after all, often dispatches humanitarian rescue teams to various parts of the world after an earthquake or tsunami. Why not immediately dispatch a high-level security team to Washington to advise an increasingly hapless Homeland Security Administration about the right way to deploy limited resources in securing a vast air network? I realize that Israel is a tiny country and has to secure only one major airport. But then again, unlike the US, it lives surrounded by terrorists yet has an exemplary record in protecting air travel.
Well, here I am at the end of my column and my family is still stuck on the plane. Aside from the subject matter this unfortunate nuisance has provided, this has been a real hindrance to nine children who have school tomorrow. I can only hope that by the time next week’s column is due I’m not still here waiting for the TSA to find a man who simply waltzed into one of America’s most guarded airports.
