Majority of Americans might not care to learn about the faith and practices of Muslims, but former FBI counter-terrorism agent John Guandolo believes that it's about time Americans find out what Sharia law is all about and try to understand how terrorists who act based on this law think.
"When the enemy speak to us, we have to understand the words they use through the filter of Sharia, Islamic law. Everything that they do, everything they say, has to be filtered through Sharia," Guandolo told Charisma News.
Guandalo accused the Muslim community of providing the U.S. government "zero help" after the devastating 9/11 attack. He told Breitbart News that although Muslim community leaders "certainly give the air as if they are helping," if one looks at the "major Islamic organizations, the major Islamic centers in the United States," they have "condemned all of the counter-terrorism policies and they've gotten the government to kowtow to them, to turn only to them for advice," he said.
"And what advice do they give them?" Guandolo asked. "That Islam doesn't stand for this and that everything you're doing is the reason for what happened—9/11 is your fault because of your policies."
He also disclosed that a "vast majority" of U.S. mosques and Islamic centres are a part of a much larger "jihadi network."
Because of this, Guandolo does not believe that the U.S. government should work with the Muslim community in trying to resolve the issue of terrorism in America.
However, if the government does decide to work with Muslims, Guandolo said the government should not be "exclusively working with Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood entities without exception" like it is doing now.
He said terrorists cannot be neutralised for "so long as the U.S. government emboldens and empowers Muslim Brotherhood organizations here."
Whenever law enforcers are aggressively pursuing leads, someone from the higher up—be it the President, Secretary of State, national security advisers, generals at the Pentagon—would always interfere and tighten their reins, therefore making it difficult for the law enforcers to carry out their tasks, Guandolo said.
