	16 - About the Authors / Notes – September 21, 2011      Lieutenant General William G. “Jerry” Boykin US Army (Ret.) served primarily in Delta Force and Special Forces assignments during his 36-year career in the Army, which culminated with appointment as Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence in the Pentagon, overseeing the gathering and exploitation of intelligence during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He is an original member of the Army’s elite Delta Force and participated in almost all of the U.S.’s special operations since 1979, including the Desert One hostage-rescue attempt in Iran in 1980, Panama in 1989, and the invasion of Grenada in 1983, where he was wounded by a .50 caliber machine-gun round through the chest....  Read
	15 - Appendix II: The Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America – September 21, 2011      The following Muslim Brotherhood document was entered into evidence in the U.S. v Holy Land Foundation trial, and is a primary source threat document that provides new insights into global jihad organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood. These documents (covered extensively in chapter four) define the structure and outline of domestic jihad threat entities, associated non-governmental organizations and potential terrorist or insurgent support systems. The Memorandum also describes aspects of the global jihad’s strategic information warfare campaign and indications of its structure, reach and activities. It met evidentiary standards to be admissible as evidence in a Federal Court of law.  Read
	14 - Conclusion – September 14, 2011      Under successive presidencies, the United States has failed to understand, let alone counter successfully, the threat posed to its constitutional form of government and free society by shariah. In the past, such failures were reckless. Today, they are intolerable. The preceding pages document shariah’s true supremacist and totalitarian character. They make clear its incompatibility with the Constitution as the only source of law for this country. As we have seen, shariah explicitly seeks to replace representative governance with an Islamic State, to destroy sovereign and national polities with a global caliphate.   Read
	13 - U.S. Leadership Failures in the Face of Shariah – September 07, 2011      Our shariah-adherent enemies understand that – given the vast military and economic advantages enjoyed by the West – achieving the goal of forcing the United States and other freedom loving peoples to submit to their program requires them, of necessity, to exploit the vulnerabilities described in the previous chapter. Specifically, these foes must control our perceptions of the threat they pose and, thereby, our responses to them.  Read
	12 - The U.S. and Western Vulnerabilities to a Threat Masquerading as a Religion – August 31, 2011      It is not simply inaccurate, incomplete or bowdlerized information about the threat posed by shariah that has left the United States floundering in its response particularly to the civilization jihad since 9/11. There is another reason. It takes the form of a collective block on reality that serves to prevent facts from influencing our reasoning – or, more specifically, to prevent facts about Islamic doctrine from influencing our strategy to defend ourselves against jihad and the advance of shariah.  Read
	11 - Part 2 - The United States and Shariah – August 24, 2011      The anti-Constitutional Character of Shariah As a nation, we have lost our understanding of America’s founding principles and as a result have become increasingly ill prepared to defend the superiority of those principles. This puts us at a distinct disadvantage in being able to identify, understand and confront hostile doctrines – both foreign and domestic – that are in conflict with our own. The result of this combination of confusion and lassitude is that, in the face of shariah’s violent and stealthy jihadist assaults, our peace and prosperity are at risk to the point where the core tenets of our nation – and ultimately its very existence – are in jeopardy.  Read
	10 - Other Shariah Adherent Organizations - cont. – August 17, 2011      These words, from the opening of the Hamas Covenant, provide the raison d’être of this violent Palestinian offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood: destruction of the Jewish State of Israel. Established in Gaza in 1988, Hamas arose out of an earlier Brotherhood front group (Mujama’) that was founded by Ahmad Yassin in 1973.  Read
	9 - Other Shariah Adherent Organizations – August 10, 2011      The division of labor within the community of adherents to shariah that has the Muslim Brotherhood promoting their agenda, for the moment, mostly through non-violent means has counterpart efforts being made by other groups that seek the same goals – the triumph of Islam worldwide and the restoration of the caliphate – through violence. Since September 11, 2001, the best known of these is the perpetrator of the murderous attacks launched that day: al Qaeda. Its prominence has only grown with repeated declarations by U.S. government officials to the effect that Osama bin Laden’s group is the enemy we confront.  Read
	8 - Who's Who in the American Ikhwan: - cont. – August 03, 2011      The Muslim Student Association: As we have seen, the Muslim Student Association was the first Muslim Brotherhood entity formed in the United States at the University of Illinois, Urbana campus in 1962-63. The MSA has chapters at nearly every major college and university campus in the United States, making it the most visible and influential of all Islamic student organizations in North America. The MSA is a point of recruitment for the Muslim Brotherhood and for jihadis.  Read
	7 - The Muslim Brotherhood: The Threat Doctrine Operationalized – July 27, 2011      As was shown in chapter three, shariah places great importance on its adherents’ exercise of information dominance. Accordingly, the shariah campaign of civilization jihad against the United States prominently features propaganda, political and psychological warfare, influence operations and other techniques for neutralizing and, ultimately, subverting our American foundational institutions – political, military, law enforcement, educational, religious, financial and media – as integral parts of the campaign to secure this country’s destruction and the triumph of shariah.  Read
	6 - Shariah's Security-Relevant Attributes – July 20, 2011      Successfully assuring American security in the face of a determined jihadist effort to destroy this country will depend in part on an understanding of several attributes inherent in this seditious doctrine that have direct bearing on the character and insidiousness of the threat.  Read
	5 - Shariah And Jihad – July 13, 2011      Shariah – derived from Islam’s foundational documents – defines Islamic doctrine, including the universal obligation to jihad against non-believers. The question is: What is meant by “jihad”? Is jihad merely a personal struggle to be the best possible Muslim? Or does jihad mean holy war, the pursuit of a global Islamic State (caliphate) that rules in accordance with shariah?  Read
	4 - Part 1 - The Threat Posed by Shariah – July 06, 2011      What is Shariah? The Arabic word “shariah,” according to one modern English-language student textbook on Islam, “literally means a straight path (Quran 45:18) or an endless supply of water. It is the term used to describe the rules of the lifestyle (Deen) ordained for us by Allah. In more practical terms, shariah includes all the do’s and don’ts of Islam.”.  Read
	3 - Key Findings – June 29, 2011      The United States is under attack by foes who are openly animated by what is known in Islam as shariah (Islamic law). According to shariah, every faithful Muslim is obligated to wage jihad, whether violent or not, against those who do not adhere to this comprehensive, totalitarian, political-military code. The enemy’s explicit goal is to establish a global Islamic State, known as the caliphate, governed by shariah.  Read
	2 - Executive Summary – June 22, 2011      Sun Tzu stressed the imperative of warriors understanding both themselves and their enemy: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. The U.S. military has carefully followed Sun Tzu’s guidance in the training and education of its warriors.   Read
	1 - Introduction – June 15, 2011      This study is the result of months of analysis, discussion and drafting by a group of top security policy experts concerned with the preeminent totalitarian threat of our time: the legal-political-military doctrine known within Islam as shariah. It is designed to provide a comprehensive and articulate “second opinion” on the official characterizations and assessments of this threat as put forth by the United States government.   Read          Get Section 16: Details about the Authors and Footnotes Here
