For the foreseeable future, the prime internal security threat to the United States will most probably be radical Islam in a multitude of forms and guises, using a broad array of tactics and strategies that fall under the rubric of Political Warfare. According to documents entered into evidence in the recent government's prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation in Dallas, Texas, the American branch of the Muslim Brotherhood has for some 40 years engaged in a sophisticated campaign of subversion and political action designed to promote the radical Islamist agenda, eviscerate government capabilities to uncover and dismantle terrorist cells and support mechanisms, coupled with a sophisticated covert campaign to influence American decision making at the highest levels. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of Political Warfare which has capitalized on the American government's failure to recognize the scope and extent of their Political Action activities which have been promoted through a variety of seemingly independent and benign front groups, charities, media outlets and agents-of-influence, as well as through the exploitation of the gullible and well meaning individuals that the Communists used to describe as “useful idiots.”
