Although many Muslim leaders openly articulate their efforts as part of a larger picture \u2014 one that culminates in the\u00a0resurrection of a caliphate<\/a>\u00a0adversarial by nature to all things non-Muslim \u2014 many Western leaders see only the moment, either out of context or, worse, in a false context built atop wishful thinking.<\/p>\n

Among other things,\u00a0this myopia<\/a>\u00a0causes virtually all Western politicians to overlook long-term threats and focus exclusively on violence and terror, the tangible and temporal \u2014 those things that may coincide with their tenure.<\/p>\n

This narrow-sighted approach sometimes leads to absurdities, such as when Homeland Defense’s\u00a0Paul Stockton<\/a>, being questioned by Dan Lungren at a recent hearing, refused to agree that al Qaeda “is acting out violent Islamist extremism,” insisting instead that the group merely consists of “murderers.” In doing so, he divorced reality from any meaningful context, thereby living up to the Obama doctrine of\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0knowing your enemy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, all Islamists have the same goal: the establishment of a Sharia-enforcing caliphate. The only difference is that most are prudent enough to understand that incremental infiltration and subtle subversion \u2014 step by step, phase by phase, decade after decade \u2014 are much more effective for securing their goals than outright violence. Then, once in power, “they will become much more savage<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Accordingly, thanks to the so-called “Arab spring” and its Western supporters, more and more clerics feel they are nearing their ultimate goal of resurrecting the caliphate, the capital of which is to be\u00a0Jerusalem<\/a>.\u00a0Sheikh<\/a>\u00a0Nadar Tamimi, for instance, recently boasted that the caliphate will soon be restored and the West will pay\u00a0jizya<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 tribute and submission, via Koran 9:29\u2014”or else we will bring the sword to your necks!” So too\u00a0Sheikh Amad Abu Quddum<\/span>\u00a0declared the legitimacy of jihad, citing infidel Germany as an example. And of coursecalls for jizya from Egypt’s Christian Copts<\/a>\u00a0are growing by the day.<\/p>\n

Now, consider the clear, unequivocal words of Dr. Muhammad Badi, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. According to\u00a0Al Masry Al Youm<\/a>\u00a0(as translated by\u00a0Coptic Solidarity<\/a><\/em>):<\/p>\n

Dr. Muhammad Badi, supreme leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, said: “The Brotherhood is getting closer to achieving its greatest goal as envisioned by its founder, Imam Hassan al-Banna. This will be accomplished by establishing a righteous and fair ruling system [based on Islamic sharia], with all its institutions and associations, including\u00a0a government evolving into a rightly guided caliphate and mastership of the world<\/em>.” Badi added in his weekly message yesterday [12\/29\/11]: “When the Brotherhood started its advocacy [da’wa<\/em>], it tried to awaken the nation from its slumber and stagnation, to guide it back to its position and vocation. In his message at the sixth caucus, the Imam [Banna] defined two goals for the Brotherhood: a short term goal, the fruits of which are seen as soon as a person becomes a member of the Brotherhood; and\u00a0a long term goal that requires utilizing events, waiting, making appropriate preparations and prior designs, and a comprehensive and total reform of all aspects of life<\/em>.” The leader of the Brotherhood continued: “The Imam [Banna] delineated transitional goals and detailed methods to achieve this greatest objective, starting by reforming the individual, followed by building the family, the society, the government, and\u00a0then a rightly guided caliphate and finally mastership of the world<\/em>” [emphasis added].<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even so, it matters not how often and openly Islamic leaders like Badi articulate their grand agenda for the world to hear. Western leaders have their intellectual blinders shut so tight, frozen before the word “democracy<\/a>” \u2014 even if “Arab spring” people-power leads to fascism (which, after all, will be someone else’s problem after they leave office).<\/p>\n

Thus, here is former US president,\u00a0Jimmy Carter<\/a>, who not only is “very pleased” with Egyptian elections \u2014 despite widespread allegations of voter-fraud against the Muslim Brotherhood \u2014 but, when asked if the US should be concerned about the Islamist victory, said “I don’t have any problem with that,and the US government doesn’t have any problem with that either<\/em>. We want the will of the Egyptian people to be expressed.”<\/p>\n

Accordingly, the Muslim Brotherhood and all its offshoots can rest assured that, so long as they do not engage in direct terrorism, they can continue unfettered on their decades-long march to resurrecting the caliphate, which \u2014 if history and doctrine are any indicators \u2014 will, in its attempt to claim “mastership of the world,” be a global menace.<\/p>\n
