Team B II - What is it and Why on Earth Should I Care?

by Sally Zahav


I recently picked up the book "Shariah - the Threat to America", subtitled "An Exercise in Competitive Analysis - Report of Team B II".

From the Preface:
"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 the threat as put forth by the United States government.

...

Unlike its predecessor, which a group of independent security policy professionals conducted at the request and under the sponsorship of the Director of Central Intelligence, George H. W. Bush, the present Team B II report is based entirely on unclassified, readily available sources. As with the original Team B analysis, however, this study challenges the assumptions underpinning the official line in the conflict with today's totalitarian threat, which is currently euphemistically described as "violent extremism", and the policies of co-existence, accommodation and submission that are rooted in those assumptions."

The Contemporary Threat

Today, the United States faces what is, if anything, an even more insidious threat [than the threat posed by the Soviet Union in the past]: the totalitarian socio-political doctrine that Islam calls shariah. Translated as "the path", shariah is a comprehensive legal and political framework. Though it certainly has spiritual elements, it would be a mistake to think of shariah as a "religious" code in the Western sense because it seeks to regulate all manner of behavior in the secular sphere - economic, social, military, legal and political."

Shariah is the crucial fault line of Islam's internecine struggle. On one side of the divide are Muslim reformers and authentic moderates - figures like Abdurrahman Wahid, the late president of Indonesia and leader of the world's largest libertarian Muslim organization, Nahdlatul Ulama - whose members espouse the Enlightenment's embrace of reason and, in particular, its separation of the spiritual and secular realms. On the side of the divide, shariah is a reference point for a Muslim's personal conduct, not a corpus to be imposed on the life of a pluralistic society.

By contrast, the other side of the divide is dominated by Muslim supremacists, often called Islamists. Like erstwhile proponents of Communism and Nazism, these supremacists - some terrorists, other employing stealthier means - seek to impose a totalitarian regime: a global totalitarian system cloaked as an Islamic State and called a caliphate. On that side of the divide, which is the focus of the present study, shariah is an immutable, compulsory system that Muslims are obliged to install and the world required to adopt, the failure to do so being deemed a damnable offense against Allah. For these ideologues, shariah is not a private matter. Adherents see the West as an obstacle to be overcome, not a culture and civilization to be embraced, or at least tolerated. It is impossible, they maintain, for alternative legal systems and forms of governments peacefully to coexist with the end-state they seek."

This book clearly delineates the existential threat posed to the United States by "Islamist" groups, mostly affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which aspire to infiltrate the organizations and institutions of the United States in order to destroy it from within. In future posts, we will prove the truth of this allegation by bringing the words of Muslim Brotherhood leaders themselves. We must not fool ourselves - the process is already well underway.
