February 17, 2010 - This morning, a convicted child molester who fled his residence in Scottsdale, was arrested in California. In August 2009, Wesley Bikoff, age 48, removed his ankle monitoring device and left his residence in Scottsdale where he was required to reside as a condition of his Maricopa County probation. Bikoff was placed on probation after his conviction for sexual exploitation of a minor.

The jihad against America is more active and assertive than ever -- and hardly anyone is talking about it.

It is time to take action.

Over one-third of the attempted and successful jihad attacks on American soil since 9/11 took place in 2009. This sharp uptick comes at a time when conservative organizations and media figures are talking about jihad and its root causes in Islamic texts and teachings less frequently and less honestly than at any time since 9/11.

At the same time, there is a global initiative at the U.N. and elsewhere to muzzle critics of Islam, criminalizing even honest discussion of the Islamic doctrines that terrorists use to justify jihad violence and Islamic supremacism.

In the Obama Administration's latest effort to befriend radical Muslims, the cabinet official in charge of protecting the country's safety covertly met with a group of extremist Arab, Muslim and Sikh organizations to discuss national security matters. 

Briefing radical Islamists who want to murder Americans about homeland security measures may seem like a bizarre tactic to counter terrorism, but it's the center of Obama's famous change rhetoric.

At least one well qualified expert believes local agents did the right thing in the operation in which Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah was shot, according to an article in today's Detroit News. ("FBI correct in shooting, ex-agent says").

The retired FBI agent, Gregory Stejskal, isn't part of an official investigation, and his opinion is just that - - only an opinion. But he provides an expert point of view that's been needed to balance the irresponsible accusations being made by CAIR's Dawud Walid, and professional rabble-rousers like Abayomi Azikiwe of the Michigan Emergency Committee Against War and Injustice--accusations being lent faux legitimacy by the likes of John Conyers.
