Inside the Muslim Recruiting Station on Lackland Air Force Base, TX

Guest post by Dave Gaubatz


A couple of months ago I had the opportunity to visit the Islamic Center of San Antonio, San Antonio, TX. The research findings were typical of most Sunni mosques around America. This is a Salafist (Wahabi) mosque. Inside were the typical violent materials such as Fiqh Us Sunnan, Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Riyadh Al Salheen, and more.

The research findings were not a surprise since I have seen this type mosque hundreds of times during my research. What was interesting is the Islamic Center is near Lackland AFB. This is one of the U.S. Military largest training bases. All USAF personnel must conduct their initial training on this base. Here is what I discovered:

1. The Imam is Yousef Said, Ph D. Most of the worshippers are from Pakistan/Sunni-Salafist.

2. They had all the materials that identify them as supporting Al Qaeda, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

3. Very strict Sharia adherence. Many of the young girls were completely veiled.

4. The Center has a strong security team on the grounds 24 hours a day.

5. I met several men, the Imam, custodians, and their head of security.

6. The Islamic Center is closely linked to Masjid Beit El Magdes, 7627 Culebra Rd., San Antonio. They are also behind the Mosque on Lackland AFB. A Brother Jeffrey is the Imam at the Lackland mosque. I was informed the new USAF recruits at Lackland must study Islam and attend the mosque on base. Brother Jeffrey has a goal of recruiting/converting at least 3 Airmen per week. Thus far they have had no problem doing this.

7. There were brochures of Imam Siraj Wahhaj coming to San Antonio on 8 June 2013. Remember I have always said Wahhaj is America’s most dangerous Islamic leader. The meeting is open for all and will be held at the Crossroads Mall Wonderland of America, 4522 Fredericksburg Rd, San Antonio, TX 7pm – 10pm.

8. A former U.S. military member Terry Holdbrooks assigned to GITMO was converted by three GITMO prisoners. Holdbrooks now speaks at mosques. He was in San Antonio on 24 May 2013.

9. The Islamic Center has close ties with CAIR National.

Lackland Air Force Base is also home to a large number of Saudi Military. They attend training at this base for various aircraft related fields of study. Over the years there have been Saudi military that suddenly disappear into the American landscape. Many are part of the underground Islamic sleeper cell community.

Lackland AFB has a mosque and what I found disturbing was that non Muslims AF trainees at Lackland attend Islamic services at the mosque. The Islamic leaders at the Islamic Center of San Antonio informed me that new AF recruits must attend Islamic services at the mosque.

While the U.S. military has clamped down on military members having any connection to the Christian and Jewish faith, or speaking to one another about their religious beliefs, the military leaders are encouraging and demanding non Muslim USAF members attend Islamic services.

On August 23rd, 2013, I contacted the Chaplains office at Lackland AFB. I was informed Chaplain Rockman is the point of contact for Islamic services and holds services at Hope Chapel, Lackland AFB.

It is a sad day when our military leaders are emerging more as politicians than military men and women. It is sad that our USAF trainees are being shuttled to Islamic services and ultimately recruited by Islamic leaders at the rate of three per week, just on this base alone.

Not only is it sad that our military men and women are having to listen to the propaganda of Islamic leaders, it is a national security concern. Sharia law and the U.S. constitution are in no way compatible, and one can’t serve both Allah (Muslim God) and the God of Christians and Jews.

They also can’t faithfully serve our country and Sharia law at the same time. This is the lesson we have failed to learn given the recently ended trial of former, now convicted murderer, Nidal Hassan.

I am an instructor on base and the trainees can go to whatever religious service they want and none are mandatory. I've seen trainees that are Buddhist go to a Wiccan service just because they give them food. In no way are services mandatory. There is a service on base for every religion you can think of in order to cater to the trainees. If they are muslim and want to attend islamic services they can however, if the trainee is christian they are in no way mandated to attend islamic study. The article is a poorly written misinformed article. Please before you get mad over the post take my word on this. Ive been a basic training instructor for over 4 years and I send this kids off to their service of choice whether its christian, jewish, islam or whatever. People can be kicked out of the service or thrown in jail for tampering with a trainees religious service or for forcing religion upon another. Once again this article is all false in regards to trainees. I personally know most of the chaplains at the basic trainee chapel and in no way is this a islamist recruiting station. Freedom of religion is taken very seriously in the AF. I'm about as credible of a source as you can get in regards to basic training

This article is so full of false information it feels slimy to the ears even when read silently. As a Trainee at Lackland, not once was I or any other Trainee I know of ever "forced", ordered, or "demanded" to attend a religious activity at all- none the less one of any specific theology. Everyone's freedom of religion is taken very seriously. I'm Catholic, for example, and was free to attend service if I wished. This is actually a great opportunity to learn more about another religion if you were ever curious, but no one is making you do so. I sincerely hope no one takes this article seriously, though I'm terribly afraid someone will.
