Judge Jeanine: And with me now the founder of the Investigative
Project, Steve Emerson. All right Steve, ISIS claims to have beheaded this
British hostage. Your reaction tonight.
Emerson: Look, ISIS is very adept at manipulating the entire
world. This is a recruitment video. It's going to recruit a lot more
jihadis from the West. There's a reason why they're videotaping it. There's
a reason why they're using British or foreign jihadis to do the executions.
There's a reason why these videos recruit thousands more Western jihadis
who go through Turkey, our 'ally,' that John Kerry just praised; an ally
that refuses to allow the US to use its military bases, an ally that won't
shut down the black oil market that ISIS now gains $1.5 million a day in
black oil market sales. So the reality is that our allies that the
administration praises – Turkey and Qatar – are sabotaging our campaign
against ISIS while the President has basically angered good allies lie
Egypt, which really could be participating in a very meaningful way because
it is significantly and ideologically against the Muslim Brotherhood which
[ISIS] has in its origins.."
Judge Jeanine: Steve I'm still amazed. Thirty-five million
Egyptians hit the streets, grandmothers, kids, everybody saying, 'We don't
want the Muslim Brotherhood, we don't want sharia law. We may be Muslims,
80% of us, but we do not want this extremism.' But let me move along here.
You just said a few minutes ago that that video might be an incentive for
other people to join. We know that Ali Muhammad Brown, 29 - and you know I
talked about this a few weeks ago – charged in the murders of four men. He
says that he and two other people killed to avenge the US actions in the
Middle East. Is this homegrown radical Islamic terrorism?
Emerson: Absolutely. I think that most people have no clue about
what happened. Here was a man, Ali Muhammad Brown, who killed four people,
the last one being a 19-year-old man in New Jersey, Brendan Tevlin. He was
charged, [in New Jersey]; three previous murders were committed in
Washington State. He [Brown] was arrested in July in New Jersey. In his
confession to the New Jersey prosecutors, state prosecutors, he openly
stated that his motivation for killing them was his, quote, his belief that
the United States was evil because what they were doing to Muslims in the
Middle East, that they were carrying out massacres of Muslims in
Afghanistan and Iraq, and therefore it was his duty to punish Americans and
to kill them. This was a direct confession admitting that he was carrying
out a jihad. He should have been prosecuted for terrorism. No charges of
terrorism were brought against him. The FBI was denied, was told to stand
down, not get involved. No federal prosecutors were involved. This is the
Obama administration basically denying the opportunity, denying the
obligation to prosecutors the opportunity to bring federal terrorism
charges because they don't want to basically disturb the notion that
there's radical Islam in the United States.
Judge Jeanine: I've got to tell you something Steve. As a local
DA, as an elected DA, I got to tell you the Feds jump in whenever they can.
The fact that they didn't tells me that this is huge, that they did not
want to touch the terrorism piece. You're absolutely right. But let me, let's
talk about. Now there's an attempted attack on a US embassy in Uganda
thwarted by police; another terrorist group now, al Shabaab. What about
them? Do we have to worry about them now?
Emerson: We have to worry about all of these groups. And that's
the problem. All of these Islamic terrorist groups – al Shabaab, Boko
Haram, ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaeda still, al Qaeda in Yemen – all of
these groups have a common denominator. They're all radical Islamic groups.
Yes, they're located in different areas. Some of them have regional
grievances. But they have a common denominator – they believe in the
sharia, they believe in the imposition of Islamic hegemony, and they
believe in the hatred of the West and the hatred of the infidels. The
bottom line here is the administration has compartmentalized all of these
groups into different entities not believing that they're connected. And so
we have different strategies. In the press conferences delivered yesterday
and today by press spokespeople for the State Department, they talked about
Hamas as if it was a political entity. They talked about Turkey, a Muslim
Brotherhood-controlled country, as if it was an ally of the United States
when it sabotages the US. They [had previously] talked about Egypt as if it
was an enemy because it's against the Muslim Brotherhood.
Judge Jeanine: Crazy. Steve Emerson, thanks so much.
