VIDEO: The Greatest Threat To America: ‘Civilization Jihad’

A new video produced by Counter Jihad exposes the most insidious form of Islamist holy war: “civilization jihad.”

Citing the global rise of terrorism at the hands of Islamist militant groups like ISIS, al Qaeda, and Boko Haram, Counter Jihad underscores that all of these groups are “killing for a cause: Islamic Law known as Sharia.”

Sharia, the narrator explains, demands that devoted Muslims conduct jihad, or “war against non-Muslims.” That war comes in two forms: violent jihad—barbaric acts of violence against non-Muslims, like those carried out by ISIS on a daily basis—and, the more subtle and “grand” campaign, civilization jihad. The former is “horribly simple,” resulting in the deaths of innocents; however, the latter is ultimately the most threatening to the Western way of life.

Citing an explanatory memorandum issued by the Muslim Brotherhood, Counter Jihad explains that Islamists have been called to conduct a “grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers.”

“[I]nstead of waging war or staging terror attacks like their brothers in the violent jihad, these Civilization Jihadists wear suits and ties, and their work is much more subtle.”

“[I]nstead of waging war or staging terror attacks like their brothers in the violent jihad, these Civilization Jihadists wear suits and ties, and their work is much more subtle,” the narrator warns. “So what do they do? They file lawsuits for Muslim truck drivers who don’t want to drive beer. They convince schools to hold Muslim Day, where the girls wear head scarves and the kids say Muslim prayers. They complain when our government watches to see if their violent buddies are hanging out with them. They call anyone critical of Islamic Law an ‘Islamophobe,’ a term they invented to make people scared to speak out—like the neighbors of the terrorists in San Bernardino who knew something was wrong, but didn’t want to say anything because they’d be accused of profiling.”

Counter Jihad names some of these “civilization jihadists”: “the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR); the Muslim Student Association (MSA); Islamic Society of North America (ISNA),” all of whom the Department of Justice found were “started by the Muslim Brotherhood.”

The video stresses that not all Muslims support sharia and that many modern Muslims would prefer to “live and let live,” but “unfortunately the groups that speak most often for the Muslim community follow the medieval version based on Sharia.” These groups, the video concludes, “have to go.”

Counter Jihad describes itself as a group dedicated to educating the public on the threat of “global Jihad against free Western society” and “ensur[ing] that the freedoms enshrined in our founding documents of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are not eroded or taken away.”

“We are not anti-Muslim, but we strongly oppose the subset of Muslims who believe they are divinely called to impose their religion on others, by force if necessary,” the group explains on its website. “The totalitarian and oppressive nature of sharia makes it totally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution. The Muslims who are working to insinuate sharia here are a danger to all Americans, but especially the American Muslims who simply want to live in peace.”

Here is the full transcript of the video (via Counter Jihad):

Terrorism seems to be everywhere, and it’s getting worse. The bad guys have lots of names—ISIS, al Qaeda, Boko Haram—but they have one thing in common. They are all killing for a cause: Islamic Law known as Sharia.”

Sharia is a return to medieval Islam. Sharia demands a Holy War called Jihad. The most widely available book of Islamic Law in English says: “Jihad means to war against non-Muslims.”

There are two kinds of Jihad. Violent Jihad is horribly simple, slaughtering innocents and forcing submission. Violent Jihadists want to conquer land for their Caliphate – essentially an Islamic State where Sharia Law is supreme.

But there is another kind of Jihad. In their Explanatory Memorandum, the Muslim Brotherhood, calls this, “civilization jihad,” saying, “The [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers…”

Civilization Jihad has the same goal as the Violent Jihad—to conquer land for their Caliphate—but instead of waging war or staging terror attacks like their brothers in the violent jihad, these Civilization Jihadists wear suits and ties, and their work is much more subtle.

So what do they do? They file lawsuits for Muslim truck drivers who don’t want to drive beer. They convince schools to hold Muslim Day, where the girls wear head scarves and the kids say Muslim prayers. They complain when our government watches to see if their violent buddies are hanging out with them.

They call anyone critical of Islamic Law an “Islamophobe,” a term they invented to make people scared to speak out—like the neighbors of the terrorists in San Bernardino who knew something was wrong, but didn’t want to say anything because they’d be accused of profiling.

These bad guys have lots of names, too: the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR); the Muslim Student Association (MSA); Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). The Justice Department found that these groups were, in fact, started by the Muslim Brotherhood.

These groups like to say that terrorism has no religion, but only Islam has Sharia and Jihad.

Not all Muslims practice Sharia or support it, but an awful lot do. They believe that anyone who insults Islam can be killed; they believe that women are property; that gays should be killed; and that little girls should be mutilated and forced to marry old men they’ve never men. These things are simply not allowed in our free society and are against the Constitution.

There are plenty of Modern Muslims who want to “live and let live,” but unfortunately the groups that speak most often for the Muslim community follow the medieval version based on Sharia.

They are working to make the US more like the Caliphate. They have to go.
