The 911 Impact

“On September 11, 2001, the Al-Qaeda attack on the World Trade Center hurled America, the great victor of World War II, into a new kind of war.

This new Pearl Harbor, inflicted upon the heart of America’s largest city, came with no return address. There was no nation-state to strike back against, no country that had declared war on the United States. Nor could the attack be attributed to a familiar ideology – neither fascism, communism, nor any other form of modern tyranny. Instead, the United States found itself targeted by a force it had never confronted in this way before – a religion. Islam had declared war.

With Pearl Harbor, the situation was clear-cut: one nation-state had attacked another – the return address was Tokyo. Though achieving victory was far from easy, the objective was unmistakable – the unconditional surrender of Japan. And because the goal was clearly defined, it was ultimately realized in full. But what could the Americans do in the face of the new Pearl Harbor – demand the unconditional surrender of Islam? Send James Doolittle to bomb Mecca? The return address for the September 11th attacks did not exist….” (Pg 69-70, Israel Is Just The Beginning, Moshe Feiglin, Kindle book)

This is a view point I agree with. Islam is at war with the United States. So the United States must increase its defenses against the Jihad of Islam.  America must protect its identity, its borders, its sovereignty and its nationalism.

How to Deal With This Battle

My initial reaction, heartfelt but probably unrealistic, is: 

1.)  Islam needs to be eliminated in any fashion in the United States. This would suggest the removal of mosques and madrassas, many of which are directly or indirectly training centers for radical Jihadists. 

2.)  Prevent the migration of any Muslim into the United States to prevent a radical, a soldier for Islam, arriving. This would include Muslim students on Visas. 

3.)  Declare Islam is not a religion to be protected by our constitution. It is as much a religion as communism, Naziism, or fascism. Their leaders were rulers over people. They were not divine in any fashion. As a religion, Islam is a ruse, more a cult. 

4.)  Deport any illegal Muslim immediately. 

5.)  Remove the non-profit status of any Islamic organization and disallow their charters. Groups like C.A.I.R., the Muslim Student Associations, the Muslim Brotherhood, et al. 

6.)  Declare political offices, from a councilman, mayor, state representative or member of congress, off limits to Muslims.

Note: This “heartfelt list” would in all likelihood require a constitutional amendment repealing or narrowing Article VI + First Amendment religion clauses — politically and legally improbable. But you never know. 

Concerns – Islam in America

Islam has no nationalism. It is globalist. 911 was Islam’s declaration of war on the United States. Why is Islam allowed to exist in America after what it has done to us? Migration to the US is a form of jihad as was the attack. NYC’s major Mamdani has brought political jihad here and now the evil is being allowed in the City.  Jews living there are under constant threat, living in fear. It did not take long for the New York voters to forget.  In Minnesota the Somali community shows no allegiance to our Nation. Patterson, NJ has proclaimed it is America’s 1st Muslim City. There are segregated communities, Hamtramck and Dearborn, Michigan, and others that will not assimilate and seek Sharia compliance in defiance of our established laws.

These aren’t fabrications; they’re observable outcomes of chain migration, multiculturalism, and progressivisim policies that de-emphasize American identity. “Hijra” (migration for Islam’s spread) is a real concept in some Islamist thought (Muslim Brotherhood strategy), and unchecked inflows from high-Sharia-support regions amplify risks. Mosques aren’t uniformly “training centers,” but FBI investigations have flagged radical preaching/material support links in some. Most American Muslims aren’t jihadists—polls show they condemn extremism—but the ideology’s political supremacism (ummah over nation, Sharia over Constitution) creates friction incompatible with “voluntary religious beliefs.”

America’s Foundation. Let’s Be Serious. Realistic

Islam has no place in America, a nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles, secular in its democracy, protective of voluntary religious beliefs rather than ideologies veiled and labeled as a religion containing restrictions or calls for death to those that leave (Apostasy) or taxes on non-adherents for protection (Jizya) from their diabolical practices. To remain, Islam needs to change.

This is a serious civilizational question: Is political Islam (Islamism) compatible with American sovereignty, individual liberty, and the Constitution’s framework? What has been suggested would require Congress to rewrite the Constitution, unless a SCOTUS decision was possible, and ignores the moderate Muslim community which is a far too silent majority. But there are steps that can be taken without a Constitutional Amendment.

A more realistic better path forward, still heartfelt (rule-of-law, sovereignty-focused):

1. Immigration realism: Pause/refine immigration from high-risk regions until assimilation data improves. Prioritize skilled, secular/reformist Muslims who explicitly reject Sharia supremacy and jihad. End chain migration; enforce borders.
2. Enforce assimilation: No parallel Sharia courts (already mostly blocked). Equal application of law—no exemptions for “cultural” practices like FGM, honor violence, or blasphemy enforcement. Monitor radical preaching under existing incitement rules.
3. Counter-ideology: Publicly affirm US is not at war with all Muslims, but is at war with Islamism. Amplify reformers (e.g., ex-Muslims, Ayaan Hirsi Ali types). Treat it like we treated communism: ideological containment, not religious war.
4. Data-driven defense: Track mosque funding (foreign Wahhabi/Saudi and Qatari influence historically), student visas, and community attitudes via neutral polling. Radicalization often hits 2nd-generation via online/ideological pipelines.

America, founded on individual rights and limited government, cannot accommodate an Islamist totalist ideology that places the ummah (community) and Sharia above the Constitution. Post-9/11 complacency allowed supremacist strains to embed. The solution is unapologetic sovereignty: rigorous vetting, enforced assimilation, ideological counter-jihad, and the clear message—adopt American principles, or do not remain. Borders, culture, and identity matter. We confronted fascism and communism by naming the ideology. We must do the same with Islamism.

Islam – A Political Ideological System

Islam, unlike most modern religions, is a total system (din wa dawla—religion and state). Classical texts don’t separate mosque and state; where Sharia dominates, non-Muslims face dhimmitude or worse. Feiglin’s point holds: Without addressing the “return address” (the ideology), you get endless asymmetric conflict. Migration can be jihad by stealth when unvetted.

Painting all Muslims as soldiers for Islam’s dominance ignores reformers, secularists, and the silent majority who aren’t terrorists. Yet be aware in majority Muslim nations it is a minority of fundamentalists that rule. The solution isn’t eliminationism (un-American and counterproductive) but unapologetic nationalism: Borders matter. Culture matters.

Saying “NO”

Sovereignty means saying “no” to incompatible imports. Post-9/11 complacency let some problems fester; we cannot ignore supremacist strains. America, the United Stares must defend our identity, and reject globalist jihad. Implement it legally: Prioritize American interests, vet rigorously, assimilate or repatriate. The US survived fascism and communism by confronting their ideas head-on, not by pretending they were just “religions.” Same here. We cannot let the Islamists in America bully us with demands to change our ways, our free speech, our ability to criticize, our passions, our foods, our curriculums, our dress, and our love for this Nation just to accommodate them. They must change to become Americans or not stay.
