Washington, DC, June 13, 2011 – Chairman
Peter King has just announced the witnesses
who will appear on June 15th before the House
Homeland Security Committee as part of a
series of hearings on radicalization of the
Muslim-American community. The Center f
or Security Policy respectfully suggests that
one of the lines of questioning for the past and
present law enforcement officials* called to testify
about “The Threat of Muslim-American
Radicalization in U.S. Prisons” must be
an inquiry into permitted print and video
materials that may contribute to jihadist
recruitment and indoctrination inside
federal penal institutions.
Such materials were used in a new peer-reviewed
study published last week in the highly respected
journal Middle East Quarterly (MEQ) as
indicators of jihadist sentiment and proselytization
in a random sample of 100 American mosques.
This study, which is entitled Shari’a and Violence
in American Mosques, involved the collection of
empirical data through repeated on-site investigations
over several years. It established that 81% of U.S.
mosques had the cited materials on the premises.
The study also found that in over 84% of the
mosques surveyed, the imam recommended
texts advocating violent jihad.
The seven texts featured in the MEQ analysis are
illustrative of the body of hate-mongering,
supremacist literature and films used
by shariah-adherent Muslims to inculcate in
targeted populations their call to violent jihad:
1. Al-Nawawi's Riyad-us Saliheen (Gardens of the Righteous)
2. Maududi's Jihad in Islam
3. al-Misri's Umdat al-Salik (The Reliance of the Traveller)
4. Maududi's Tafhim al-Qur’an (The Meaning of the Qur’an)
5. Saabiq's Fiqh-us-Sunnah (The Book on Acts of Worship)
6. Tafsir Ibn Kathir
7. Qutb's Ma’alim fi’l-Tariq (Milestones)

book, including PDFs of the full text, notes on
each texts' availability, and more.]
Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., President of the Center
for Security Policy, said today:
The materials advocating violent jihad found
in the vast majority of American mosques
surveyed in the Middle East Quarterly study
have reportedly also been made available in
American prisons nationwide. If so, there is
every reason to believe they will contribute
significantly to the radicalization of inmates.
The House Homeland Security Committee’s
hearing on Wednesday is an opportunity to
amplify and inform the public debate over
the national security implications of jihadist
texts that are found in both America’s mosques
and prisons – and to set the stage for addressing
the seditious actions they are designed to foment.
Illustrative quotes from these materials include:
From Maududi’s Jihad in Islam: “Islam wishes
to destroy all States and Governments
anywhere on the face of the earth which
are opposed to the ideology and programme
of Islam regardless of the country or the
Nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is
to set up a State on the basis of its own ideology and
programme, regardless of which Nation assumes
the role of the standard bearer of Islam or the rule
of which nation is undermined in the process of the
establishment of an ideological Islamic State.”
From Qutb’s Milestones: “If someone does this
[prevents others from accepting Islam], then
it is the duty of Islam to fight him until
either he is killed or until he declares
his submission.” (Chapter 4).
From Qutb’s Milestones: “But any place
where the Islamic Shari’ah is not enforced
and where Islam is not dominant becomes
the home of Hostility (Dar-ul-Harb) for both
the Muslim and the Dhimmi. A Muslim will
remain prepared to fight against it,
whether it be his birthplace or a place
where his relatives reside or where
his property or any other material
interests are located.” (Chapter 9)
