Hood, Texas.
The dramatic surge in threats against U.S. military personnel has been brought to the public’s attention most visibly by House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King. Rather than being hailed for investigating what he recognizes as a threat to American security, he has been criticized in the media and by certain politicians as being an over-reactive “Islamophobe.†Clarion Fund’s Senior Fellow Clare Lopez delves deeper into the very real threat faced by America’s service men and women.

Did You Know… Islam Commands Individual Jihad?
by Clare M. Lopez
According to Islamic law, Jihad is warfare to spread the religion and is obligatory for all Muslims everywhere until such time as “there is no more Fitna [resistance to Islam] and the religion will all be for Allah alone.†(Quran 8:39) Jihad against the infidel (kuffar) is of two types: offensive and defensive. The offensive kind, called “Fard Kifaya,†is conducted under the leadership of the Caliph and is for the purpose of defending the borders of Islam and sending out the armies of Islam at least once a year to terrorize the enemies of Allah. Offensive Jihad is a collective duty and when enough Muslim fighters respond to the call of the Caliph, the remainder of the Muslim population is relieved of this duty.
