Monitor The Strategic Trends

Introduction:

With the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, it has become of paramount importance to understand the origin, nature, and agenda of Islam. While there is no intent here to impugn the many peace-loving Muslims with the aggressive actions of the militant leadership, it is critical to recognize this most threatening challenge to Christians, Jews, and to Western civilization.

Contrary to popular understanding, Islam did not begin with Mohammad. Most of the practices still embodied in Islam had their beginning in pre-Islamic Arabia. Mohammad repackaged the pagan worship associated with the Ka’aba in Mecca into a monotheistic form.

“Cut Off Muslim Students From U.S.” - One of the most famous liberal voices in America is now suggesting the U.S. cut off Muslim students from coming to America, as well as deporting some of those already here and even sending them to prison.

Americans Behind 9/11 And Hitler Was Greater Than Roosevelt - Two days before US President Barack Obama's visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the official PA daily chose to print anti-American hate speech along with pro-Hitler comments in an op-ed:
“Our history is replete with lies… [including] the lie about Al-Qaeda and the September 11 events, which asserted that Muslim terrorists committed it, and that it was not an internal American action by the Freemasons.”

Daughters of Iranian Opposition Leader Arrested - Two daughters of Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi have been arrested after security forces raided their homes in the capital, Tehran. It comes almost two years after their parents were put under house arrest. Mr Mousavi, a leader of the Green Movement, lost to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the 2009 presidential election. The controversial results triggered mass protests, which were quashed in a brutal crackdown resulting in the deaths of dozens of people. The opposition says more than 80 of its supporters were killed over the following six months, a figure the government disputes. Several have been sentenced to death, and dozens jailed. Iran is due to hold new presidential elections in June to find a successor to Mr. Ahmadinejad.

Kerry Criticizes Iran For Imprisoning American Pastor - On the day he was confirmed as Secretary of State, John Kerry went farther than his predecessor had in condemning Iran for imprisoning an American citizen, a Christian pastor who was sentenced this week to eight years in prison for evangelizing in the Islamic Republic. "We remain deeply concerned about the fairness and transparency of Mr. Abedini's trial," Kerry told Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. "I, along with the U.S. government, condemn Iran's continued violation of the universal right of freedom of religion and call on the Iranian authorities to respect Mr. Abedini's human rights and release him." Abedini, a 32-year-old father of two, denied evangelizing in Iran and claims he had only returned to his native land to help establish an orphanage. Authorities pulled him off a bus last August and threw him into the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran.

Britain In Hard Spot To Battle Jihadists - Britain has vowed a tough response against militants in North Africa, but behind its tough language lies the ugly reality of a fast-shrinking army, deep budget cuts and little U.S. interest in another costly war in a distant desert. Enraged by the death of British citizens in a hostage crisis in Algeria, Prime Minister David Cameron has called for a global response to jihadist threats in North Africa and warned it could take decades to tame the increasingly volatile region. Further dampening Cameron's hopes for coordinated action, his own government announced sweeping cuts to the army this week as recession-hit Britain struggles to plug a yawning budget gap. "We've frankly run out of treasure to be doing this," a former senior military official told Reuters.
