I've been posting about the Battle of Dearborn, and perhaps some readers think it's no big deal or is being exaggerated. But what's happening in this country and around the world is that Islam is winning the war against the West that it lost in the Middle Ages because of the first Crusade and the Battle of Lepanto.
If the article below doesn't raise the warning flag and cause us, as Americans, to protect our Constitutional rights, it is just a matter of time before Islam destroys our way of life and we find ourselves bowing the knee, not to Jesus Christ, but to Allah.
Wake up, America. We don't hate Muslims. As Christians, we have an obligation to love our enemies, but don't be delusional about what Islamic organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood stand for -- the complete takeover of the West and the imposition of Sharia Law.
Muslim Enclaves U.S.A.
Building the American Caliphate, One Enclave at a Time

It seems almost unthinkable, but Islamist groups are, as we speak, hard at work creating Muslim states-within-states in the U.S. Indeed, this process has been unfolding for a long time across the Western world, through the creation of isolated Muslim enclaves in both rural and urban areas, as well as through the designation of "no-go zones" where governments admit to having little authority over Muslims living there, essentially leaving them to function as autonomous regions.
Daniel Pipes has tracked numerous examples since 2004 of Muslim groups working to create communities based solely on Islam and run by Shari'a law. As discussed by David Kennedy Houck in 2006, "Although such concepts are antithetical to a free society, U.S. democracy allows the internal enclave to function beyond the established boundaries of our constitutional framework."
For example, one such community, Gwynn Oak, has been created in Baltimore, Maryland, consisting of Muslim immigrants and African-American converts. The project is led by John Yahya Cason, director of the Islamic Education and Community Development Initiative. Cason explained that the neighborhood is a response to the problem that "Muslim communities are ruled by Western societal tenets, many of which clash with Islamic norms." In his opinion, there is a need for communities with "the totality of the essential components of Muslim social, economic, and political structure." As such, the Gwynn Oak enclave follows specific moral rules based on Islam and people there speak Arabic. On September 13, 2009, the construction of its three-story mosque began. Approximately 400 Muslims now live in the vicinity.
Another example involves the Islamic Center for Human Excellence, which receives funding from the United Arab Emirates. In August 2004, it was granted permission to build a Muslim neighborhood in Little Rock, Arkansas, complete with a mosque, school, and 22 homes; it would not allow the presence of alcohol. The goal was for Muslims to find an area to escape the alleged crime and depravity of American life, although the imam behind the effort said that non-Muslims are welcome to join.
Far more radical groups than these are now taking the lead in promoting and creating Islamic enclaves on U.S. soil.
