Here is Stein’s message, in the Washington Post.
Book cites danger of U.S. anti-Muslim prejudice
A leading Muslim scholar who holds distinguished academic chairs at the U.S. Naval Academy and American University says prejudice against darker-skinned people in the United States is driving Pakistani youths here into the arms of terrorists.
Akbar Ahmed, who also served as Pakistan’s ambassador to Britain, says in a new book that “homegrown terrorism is the result of a combination of factors.”
“Muslim Americans feel discriminated against and misunderstood by their fellow Americans,” says Ahmed, whose team of five researchers spent over a year interviewing Muslims and non-Muslims in 75 U.S. cities.
His book, “Journey into America: the Challenge of Islam,” will be published in June, according to an announcement from American University.
“There is a definitive lack of understanding about the Muslim culture in the United States,” Ahmed said in a press release from A.U. “This leads to various forms of discrimination, thus leaving many Muslim Americans feeling ostracized and frustrated.”
It is urgent, he maintains, that American leaders, including prominent Muslims, address the issue, “to prevent another 9/11.”
“By ignoring these types of issues, American leaders are turning their backs to the root of what causes such tragedies as 9/11,” Ahmed said.
“If we do not gain a clear understanding as to why these issues continue to persist, the relationship with Muslims living in the United States and their American neighbors will only continue to weaken the already fragile tinder box that exists.”
I have a clear understanding, Islam is the problem, and Ahemd wants us to back off on Islam. That is not going to happen!
One would think that someone who works in the area of intelligence, defense and foreign policy would know better. He's not just a tool of hislam but a tool.
There's only one way to understand Islam, by scoping its history going back 1400 years and finding out for yourself how deep the rabbit hole goes. Come to the Historyscoper and begin your scoping experience, it's free: http://go.to/islamhistory
Yeah – Stein is a tool. How can he be so ignorant?
Also, there shouldn't be any "Muslim-Americans" – they can stay in their own countries and over-breed there. We've got a Demographic Jihad going on and it must be stopped. End all Muslim immigration to the U.S. so we don't wind up like Western Europe, which is sinking fast due to en masse Mohammedan immigration and their subsequent en masse procreation.
Yeah – Stein is a tool. How can he be so ignorant?
He's either a dhimmi or a crypto-arselifter.
He looks like one of those guys in the Laurel & Hardy movies although I don't remember the actors name right now. Have you seen that one when they are selling christmas trees? He's looking like that guy they're trying to sell one. LOL
I would have guessed one of the English Carry On movies. Or the Pink Panther ones! LOL!
Those Pink Panthers were pretty funny. So was Monty Python.
Luxury! Bleedin' luxury!
Jeff Stein's message to non-dhimmified believers
Infamy, Infamy, they've all got it infamy.

Lol!
Was that from Carry On Arselifting?
A spoof off the old Kansas-song Carry On Wayward Son?
Excuse me – talking about the very serious Demographic Jihad occurring in both Western Europe and America isn't allowed here?
Welcome to the site, of course it is.
Is one of your comments missing? If so, there was a glitch today.
Sorry about that.
LTC Allen West is someone who is no dhimmi. Check out what he has to say in this speech of his –

Always nice to hear a sane politician for once. Too few of them unfortunately. Too bad none of us can vote for him though. All we can do is spreading links with him and hold our thumbs.
All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
How can a guy with his background be so niave?
Petro-dollars? Votes Dhimmicrat? Brain damage? Take your pick.
Most westerners with a thinking brain and unblinkered eyes gained all the knowledge they needed to understand the principles of islam and it's uneducated and insane ideology during 7/5-London, 9/11-New York, and in Munich 1972. Do not presume to lay any guilt and blame at my feet about the on going jihadism by the so-called radical 'few' around the world who are committing daily atrocities on innocent people just going about their mundane business and lives, all in the name of religion. Speaking as an Englishman and in response to the rise of the radicals in Britain. Are you so naive that when the bombs went off in London that I immediately thought that it was my fault, that I was somehow not sensitive enough to what it means to be a muslim in the 21st century, (here's an idea, how about actually joining the 21st century and embrace all of its wonders and stop trying to drag the world back to 7th century) that I should have some empathy towards the murderers and their 'just cause' and should feel shame that my western values drove these individuals to murder, again, all in the name of religion. That it is my problem and fault if I don't with open arms welcome these people into my life and forgive them at the same time repetitively apologising to them about putting them in the awkward situation they found themselves in, when according to their own personal principles, the only valued response was to atomize innocent people. No; sorry, not going happen. The only thing failing here is the Mental Health Services around the world, as to do what these people do in the name of their 'religion' they have to be a little insane.
To make matters worse, people are even more blind to the political aspect of Islam. How their constant demands, and pushiness slowly destroys Western Civilization from within.
Maybe the recent elections in the UK and the results may not be such a bad thing then. Only the truly blind and dhimmified idiots will have failed to notice the increase of muslim councilpersons and MPs that have found new posts on all levels of government. Hopefully it will now become much more difficult to hide a 5th column agenda from the public and they will at last join the rest of us who see an, and I don't use this word lightly' 'apocalyptic' future if their program is allowed to continue unchecked.
“If we do not gain a clear understanding as to why these issues continue to persist, the relationship with Muslims living in the United States and their American neighbors will only continue to weaken the already fragile tinder box that exists.”
Do I have this right? We are the the ones that have to understand THEIR relationship living in the U.S. Shoundn't it be the other way around? Someone help me get this logic..elmore
That's pretty much the gist of it. You have to accommodate and adapt to them. Not the other way around.
Is there any other group that routinely blows up innocents because they're 'not understood'? Hmongs? Holocaust survivors? Tibetan refugees?
I'd give all three groups above more benefit if they DID such things, for what they went through, compared to the jihad warrior tribe spreading across the globe.
Jeff Stein’s journalism was very poor, the article was full of side stepping and ambiguity. First of all if Graham Fuller professes to not know Gulen why did he write a letter in his defense so Gulen could gain a Visa in the USA?
Secondly, Fuller wrote a book entitled “A World without Islam” this book is heavily promoted by the Gulen Institute in Washington DC, Fuller even had a book signing at one of the famous Gulen “events”
lastly, I would trust the opinion of ex-Turkish translator Sibel Edmonds more than Stein, on her Boiling frogs blog she analyzes Stein’s fluff piece.
Please learn and research about the Gulen Movement and the infiltration of charter schools in America they are up to 122, but we are getting the school’s applications and expansions denied.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP STOP THESE GULEN SCHOOLS:
1) Inform your family and friends, the best defense is knowledge and pulling students from these schools.
2) Inform the local media and blog about the schools Act for America does a great job of this.
3) Speak with your local school boards and be on the look out for a charter school application from these liars.
4) Watch out for Turkish Olympiads, Turkish cultural events and other events in your community. This is how they soften up the community.
5) Be aware of poltiicans, academia and media in your area accepting gifts or FREE trips to Turkey by the local interfaith group.
It’s obviously BECAUSE he’s familiar with the intel world that he knows “Islam is taking over!” is a pile of hooey.
Count me in the same category, both ‘in intel’ and the ‘hooey’ part.
Too bad those ‘bad Mooslims’ don’t own 95 percent of the media in order to pass on their own rumint and fake intel.
Its nice funny YouTube video, I constantly go to pay a quick visit YouTube site designed for comical videos, for the reason that there is much more material available.
