Title: US vs THEM: Remembering 9/11
Topic: Terrorism

Discussed by Dr. Paul Kengor
with The Institute for Faith and Freedom (www.FaithAndFreedom.com)

Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young children. Issues discussed may be upsetting or hard for little ones to understand.

On March 23rd, 2006, US Attorney, Robert Spencer, asked one of the 9/11 plotters, Zacarias Mousaoui, if he had any regrets. Mousaoui responded: “I just wish it will happen on the 12th, the 13th, the 14th, the 15th, the 16th, the 17th and I can go on and on. There is no remorse for justice.”

Dr. Paul Kengor is a Professor of Political Science and Chief Academic Fellow of the Institute for Faith and Freedom at Grove City College. Today he discusses Grove City College President Paul McNulty’s uniquely fascinating yet somber 9/11 experience persecuting several of the hijackers’ associates when he served as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia and Deputy Attorney General in the Bush Administration.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did Gove City College President Paul McNulty feel the need to tell others about his experience prosecuting some of the 9/11 terrorists?

Is there a huge contrast in how the Islamist terrorists view human life versus how others view life? Dr. Kengor quotes Zacarias Mousaoui again. Be warned: This quote is absolutely grotesque!

Title: Yes, We Can Defeat Terrorism
Topic: Terrorism

Discussed by David Grantham
with National Center for Policy Analysis

Part 1 of 2

Can we defeat terrorism? What will it take to win the war?

David A. Grantham, Ph.D., is a leading expert in national security matters and international affairs with specializations in Latin America and the Middle East. Dr. Grantham’s expertise engages the nation’s most pressing issues, such as terrorism, international security, and military affairs.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

The legendary Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu once stated: "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. But, if you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

Right now, our current strategy suggests we know neither the enemy nor ourselves. How does David Grantham view our situation?

How do we defeat an enemy who believes death in battle with the infidels assures him 72 virgins and an eternity in paradise? David has three key points in response to this which are vital to improving the defense of our nation. NOTE: David will discuss the third key point in the second segment, so make sure you don’t skip it!

Who dismantled our intelligence gathering?

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Yes, We Can Defeat Terrorism
Topic: Terrorism

Discussed by David Grantham
with National Center for Policy Analysis

Questions/Issues Discussed:

David Grantham continues to outline what our military must do in order to defeat the enemy. Listen in as he explains his third key point.

After a successful attack resulting in the death of one or more “infidels”, the enemy is encouraged and emboldened. How can we fight that kind of evil?

Do Jihadists distinguish between black and white, gay or straight, young or old, rich or poor, male or female?

“We are at war,” David says. “Even if we don’t declare it ourselves, it has been declared on us.” What responsibilities do our local, state, and federal governments have to keep us safe from terrorists?

How can our local, state, and federal governments discover if Imams in America are preaching and/or distributing literature that may encourage followers to kill the infidel?

How do we defeat our enemy?

Title: Canary in the Coal Mine
Topic: Terrorism

Discussed by Christopher Harris
with Unhyphenated America (www.unhyphenatedamerica.org)

Teddy Roosevelt is considered the first progressive President of the United States. Teddy once said, “There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else."

Miners once used canaries in coal mines. Why? If there were any deadly fumes in the mine, the canary would quit singing. In other words, it would die, therefore alerting the miners of the danger ahead.

Is France the canary in the coal mine? I do not wish to make light of the 129 deaths and hundreds who were injured on November 13, 2015, in France, supposedly carried out by militant ISIS radicals. We, in America, mourn their deaths and pray for the victims and their families to find peace and understanding in the midst of loss and heartache.

We cannot just sit back and do nothing. We also cannot forge ahead without heading the warnings. Christopher Harris, the Executive Director of Unhyphenated America, says, “The attack (in Paris) was inevitable. For years, Paris has burned on multiple occasions. These immigrants have set up no-go zones.” Listen in as he and Terry discuss no-go zones and why there is no escape.

As countries allow more invaders (legally, illegally, or refugees) into their land, the problem is only going to multiply. They may have good intentions, but how can we be sure? Listen in as Christopher Harris tells the story of the frog and the scorpion to explain his position.

Title: Are Terrorists in Your Neighborhood?
Topic: Terrorism

Discussed by Ambassador Meir Shlomo
with Israel's Consulate Office in Houston (Houston Embassy)

Will Israel be forced to once again act against the Hamas? Will America? Ambassador Meir Shlomo says that a solution to rid the world of these terrorists must be swift. He compares the process to a 12-Step program for AA: Never, ever, ever make excuses and recognize the problem for what it is.

Ambassador Shlomo says these threats cannot be taken lightly nor ignored, especially in the United States. They will soon tire of bombing Israel and will point their missiles upon our borders. In fact, if it were possible, the Hamas would have launched every missile they had at the US, not Israel. They would have dug tunnels into the US, not Israel.

Also discussed in the segment with Ambassador Shlomo is the Islamist idealist and author from the 1940’s, Sayyid Qutb. He has become the philosophical inspiration for the Hamas, ISIS, and al Qaeda. After living in the US for two years with an American family, Sayyid Qutb said, “I hate those Westerners and despise them!” Nice role model.

Last thought (but listen to the segment to hear the rest of the story!): Ambassador Shlomo says that Islamist extremist terrorist groups do not wish to destroy us because they do not understand us. It’s actually the complete opposite. They know how good we are. They know we give people hope and freedom. They hate that! They don’t want their sympathizers to know the truth about us, so they spew hatred and lies and twist the facts so even those within our own borders will believe them! They want one race, one religion, one nation for the entire world.

Ok, this is the final thought (but STILL listen to the segment to hear the rest of the story!): Boko Haram literally means “Enough with Western Education”. Yes, that is what it means. Do you still think they are a peaceful, loving people?

Title: A Dereliction of Duty
Topic: Terrorism

Discussed by Bob Beauprez
with A Line of Sight (www.alineofsight.com)

When you served in Congress, what did Obama do and why didn't he do something? Did these events unfold at a very late hour such that the President had to be awakened from his slumber?

Did it trouble you before you sent out your blog titled "Dereliction of Duty"? Within two hours of the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, which resulted in the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, an email was sent to the White House and State Department.

That first email was sent at 4:05 PM EDT (10:05 PM in Benghazi) and specifically mentioned that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia, an al-Qaeda affiliated group, had claimed responsibility for the attacks. Fox News confirms that the addresses on the email included "a variety of national security platforms, whose addresses have been redacted, including the White House Situation Room, the Pentagon, the FBI and the Director of National Intelligence."

A Line of Sight is a policy resource that covers issues affecting conservatives across America. Founded by former Congressman Bob Beauprez (R-CO), A Line of Sight presents informed commentary on issues ranging from education to foreign policy, and energy to politics. With an editorial board of trusted thought leaders, A Line of Sight continues to be a source of informed insight into current national issues.

Do you still embrace the Muslim belief? Do Muslims argue that Christians and Jews perverted the Holy Scriptures; therefore the bible cannot be trusted?

Could you explain to our listeners the Shi'ite belief in the 12 Mahdi's and what is the significance of the twelfth one?

What is Kingdom Theology? In the Muslim world, are there Muslims that believe that if they just can just drive Israel into the sea, it would cause their messiah to return?

Do the madmen who call themselves jihadists believe that they will cause the death and destruction of all gentiles?

Are all Iranians like this?

This week at the United Nations, will they get through hate speech against Islam even though they can say anything about Christianity, Jews, and the Bible?

Is it true that some of the Imams in the mosques in America preach hatred towards the West, Jews, Christians, and jihad?

Did our Founding Fathers ever envision a time in America where elected officials, bought and paid for by certain economic interests, would put a value on a life?

Did the jury of the two families’ peers find Virginia Tech liable for 4 million dollars apiece? Can you tell us more about the cap that Virginia legislators had already placed on any such reward?
