Fifth Column
Islamophobia as an offensive weapon
2012-02-19
  By JONATHAN ROSENBLUM

It has been left to others, most notably Woolsey and Ridge, to make the substantive case for the NYPD's anti-terrorist policies. In an op-ed in The New York Daily News (and rejected by the Times), the two argue that the NYPD's undercover terror prevention program, including intelligence-gathering within the Mohammedan community, has been one of the prime tools allowing the NYPD to foil several credible threats that have arisen from within the community. And given that even one successful terror attack in New York City could claims tens of thousands of lives, the NYPD cannot afford to decrease its intelligence-gathering activities.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations
... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ...
 is calling for the dismissal of New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly and the appointment of an outside inspector-general to run the police force. CAIR and other so-called "mainstream" Mohammedan groups have a long-standing grievance with Kelly and the NYPD arising from a 2007 NYPD Intelligence Report entitled "Radicalization in the West: the Homegrown Threat" and the NYPD's ongoing surveillance of radical Islamic organizations, including mosques.

But the immediate club being used to hammer Kelly is his participation in a documentary entitled The Third Jihad. The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 has devoted numerous news stories and two editorials to The Third Jihad, which is described as "anti-Islam" and "a dark film on US Mohammedans" whose producers seek to advance a pro-Israel agenda.

The Times coverage failed to mention the long roster of authorities interviewed for the film, including the director of the CIA under president Bill Clinton, James Woolsey, the first secretary of Homeland Security, Gov. Tom Ridge, and a host of former US government intelligence officials. The title The Third Jihad was provided by the most eminent living historian of Islam, Professor Bernard Lewis.
