Retired US Lt. Colonel studied Islam in Kuwait, learned it's a political system masquerading as a religion and has taken over our military

2/17/12, "Eyewitness," a letter to Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs from a retired US Colonel about his extensive experience with Islam and our military:

"A letter from a retired Colonel:

Dear Ms. Geller:

I sought contact with you because you are one of the few who sees Islam for what it is. Certainly our president and our government fail to recognize the danger to both the United States and Israel if the Islamists are allowed to continue their consolidation of power. Or maybe, they know and are giving their tacit approval in efforts to "fundamentally change" our nation.

I’ve read a number of articles you’ve written regarding our most insidious enemy, radical Islam. I have yet to read anything you’ve written that’s not the truth. I’m amazed at the number of Leftists, who label you a "loon," or a purveyor of hate. Sadly, most of your detractors are so taken in by the very excellent Muslim propaganda machine operating in our country and funded by George Soros and others who seek to destroy us as a free nation.

• Most see the truth as hate, because they hate the truth!

I served in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait during the First Gulf War, 1990-91. I also was stationed in Kuwait from 1996-2000. I lived and worked in two different Islamic nations for nearly five years. I studied Islam through tutelage provided by the Islamic Presentation Committee at the Grand Mosque of Kuwait. I was taught the Koran, the Hadith as well as the Sunnah! It didn’t take me long to realize that Islam is a Political System, masquerading as a religion. It’s also a sham; if they’re ever was one.

U’bul Kassim, (AKA Mohammad) borrowed heavily from both Judaism and Christianity. What didn’t suit him from these two great religions, he either borrowed from paganism and animism; or he made it up. Many times he kind of shot from the hip so to speak. Islam was a great recruiting tool for pirates and brigands. Converts to Mohammed's new religion could rob, rape, steal, murder...all in the name of Islam. Jews and Christians neither were protected unless they converted and even then they were often times imprisoned or killed!

The bottom line up front is that Islam is going to destroy us. Shockingly, our Liberal Socialist media and Hollywood elites are enabling the Islamists. But then, so has our armed forces! During the First Gulf War, EVERY U.S. installation in Saudi Arabia was inundated with Muslim proselytizers who converted large numbers of our troops. Most were convenience conversions for either money or favors, but some took. What future price are we going to pay accordingly, for the large numbers of real converts, now in their forties and early fifties? That remains to be seen.

An issue that is not being addressed, is the politicization of our armed forces, particularly amongst our senior leadership! This has had a serious impact on our national commitment to the defense of Israel. When I was a new Second Lieutenant, I was commissioned in the Armor Branch and studied tank warfare. In 1974 the world’s most experienced and expert practitioners of tank warfare were in the Israel Defense Force. Israeli officers at Ft. Knox were held in high esteem. They were the superstars of the day. After all, they had won the Yom Kippur War, only a year earlier. They’d fought in the largest tank battle since Kursk, in WW2! And, they won!

That all changed however. By the time I retired, U.S. officers, even GENERAL officers were heard to call the Israelis "F----- Kikes." I took issue with the anti-Semitism every time it came my way. My reward was to be labeled a "Jew lover." By 2001, there existed more animosity toward the Israelis, than toward the Arabs. 9/11 had an impact on this, yet so many displayed the attitude that if the U.S. cut our ties with Israel, our troubles in the Middle East would subside. I suppose many were "Ron Paul" before Ron Paul was cool.

The Obama Administration is the most anti-Israel Government we’ve ever had. I can’t think of another president who was so pro-Arab at the expense of our Israeli allies. Yet our partisan media fails to report this, as they fail to report anything that might be detrimental to Obama. I worry about Israel.

I’ll continue to follow your Website, read your AT articles and support you anyway I can. Thank you for what you do. I can’t understand how so many people have become intoxicated on the Obama Kool-Aid. If I can ever assist you in any of your research or the development of ideas in exposing the truth about Islam, please feel free to ask. I lived it and

• I'm a witness to the brutality of Islam and the reality of Islam.

Best regards,

XXXXXXX
Lt. Colonel, US Army"
