Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

August 12, 2010

The most powerful patron of radical Islam is not Iran, Iraq, or Saudi Arabia. It is the United States Government ? particularly the CIA and the Pentagon.

In 1953, the CIA sponsored radical Islamic clerics in Iran to help bring down its secular government. The CIA also cultivated the Muslim Brotherhood, an international Islamic network whose institutional offspring include Hamas and al-Qaeda.

In July 1978, the CIA funded radical Islamic groups that eventually overthrew the Soviet-aligned government of Afghanistan. The coup?s architect, Zbigniew Brzezinski, later dismissed the importance of ?some stirred-up Muslims? in Afghanistan ? that is, the group that later coalesced into the Taliban.

The 2003 invasion of Iraq installed a government whose constitution enshrines Sharia law.

Millions of Americans have been whipped into a frenzy over the alleged threat of a proposed Muslim community center in New York. But the real threat remains in Washington, D.C.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
