Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives have Penetrated Washington [Paperback]

As someone who has closely monitored the machinations of militant Muslim activists as chronicled by Pipes and Emerson and other Islamist hawks, there is a helluva lot of new disturbing stuff in this book, which forgiving the pun, looks to be the new bible on Islamism and the Islamic threat inside America. And much of it is supported by fairly sensitive-looking internal Homeland Security documents and real estate/tax/lobbying and other records posted on a companion website -- sperryfiles.com. most alarming is how the FBI is bending over for Muslim muscle groups and is blindly letting its Arabic translation desk in DC become a Muslim "mole house" generating some dozen espionage cases, per CI vets at FBI. And Sperry found that one of the groups the FBI is genuflecting before -- Council on AMerican-Islamic Relations -- is bankrolled by an Arab government, UAE, which was the transit point for 9/11 cash and a formal backer of the Taliban. Dubai holds the deed to CAIR's headquarters, even as CAIR claims it gets no foreign support! And there are classified docs that are sure to embarrass DC bigshots. Remember the hardline cleric who counseled the 9/11 hijackers behind closed doors? the guy the FBI is now looking for after the 9/11 commission concluded was "suspicious" and should be brought in for questioning? well he was released from U.S. custody a year after 9/11 and allowed to leave the country on a Saudi airplane. DC pulled back a warrant for him even though he was on the terror watchlist and subject of terror finance probes by treasury/customs.There's even word in book of a Pakistani cleric who privately counseled the Pakistani terrorist who mowed down CIA employees at Langley, who according to records sperry uncovered is starting a large Wahhabi mosque just down the way from Langley where he can no doubt inspire other jihadists. he also reveals new details about Norman "No Profiling" Mineta and his diversity happy aides that i haven't read anywhere else. at bottom this is the tale of PC gone wild in DC, which is lulling Americans into a false sense of security about the Islamic threat inside the country. With bin Laden still at large and his sleeper cells no doubt still in place here, it's a pretty frightening wake-up call. their agents and sympathizers have done an alarmingly good job of penetrating U.S. institutions and culture, but DC hasn't penetrated theirs. the fbi says it can't find evidence of sleeper cells? yeah, that's reassuring. Isn't that what they said before 9/11?

It was very instructive to me to read Mr. Sperry's book and comprehend the sort of damage we're doing to our society by stressing "tolerance" above all else, including the very survival of our way of life. A tolerant, diverse republic is a fine goal. But it can exist only so long as its members hold essentially the same values...as we in the US have done--with few exceptions such as slavery--for over two hundred years. Having studied Islam extensively at the undergraduate level, I know that Islam means "submission," not "peace." Free peoples can have peace with Islam only when they convert and/or submit to its dominance. This is not my interpretation of Islam. No, it's the letter of the law. The few Muslims who are brave enough to advocate reform of their religion are tossed out of mosques or, very likely, much worse.

If a tenth of what Mr. Sperry alleges is true (and he documents most or all of it, so you can check), the US has come to a dangerous historical crossroads. As our children are force-fed a largely non-existent peaceful version of Islam from elementary school, while learning little or nothing about the religious traditions that have actually shaped this country, Muslim agents are in our midst, using every advantage of our tolerant society while plotting against us.

This book is a wake-up call. I hope that others will have a chance to read it.

Paul Sperry's "Infiltration" drives home the point that radical Islam is on the rise around the world; especially in the United States. He starts the book providing a discussion of what he considers to be the myths about Islam including that its name means Peace. The word Islam means submission. He also demonstrates that the Quran itself permits violence against unbelievers (infidels).

Sperry does a great job in deconstructing the dissembling by Muslim spokesmen when they criticize terrorism against civilians. It sounds like they are supporting the US in the War on Terror. In reality, no non-Muslim American is a civilian in their eyes and the attacks are not considered terrorism. It is just war against an enemy of Islam. Sperry notes that their speeches in English almost never match what they say in Arabic in the mosques and in their speeches to their supporters.

The author also explodes the myth that the 9/11 terrorists did not receive support and help within US borders. He went to investigate where those terrorists who were based in Virginia lived. Sperry found a sizeable and very active Islamic community where some of the 9/11 perpetrators lived among those that shared similarly radical views. In this book we get a look at various mosques and imams within America that spread the message of an Islamic overthrow of the United States. When you hear them say the love America - it is an Islamic America that they love.

We also get to see how a fear of being seen as anti-Islamic has compromised our intelligence gathering, our security, our politics, and our ability to speak the plain truth. It is painful to read about government employees bringing middle eastern celebratory dishes to work after 9/11 speaking openly that it is about time "they" get some payback. The author does a good job in taking us through the whole gamut of compromises, from our discussions of Islam all the way through the White House and how this radical threat continues to grow almost completely unchecked.

If you want some hard information on this topic, this is a good book to read.
