Americans have lived with the threat of attack by jihadi groups for nearly four decades. Despite this clear and present danger, some non- Muslim commentators, politicians, and other public figures challenge the idea that Islamism, a radical political ideology with ambitions of global conquest, has anything to do with this violence. We call such persons useful infidels (a variation on "useful idiots," a term widely attributed to Lenin). Useful infidels employ various methods. Some seek to redefine the threat by arguing that ISIS killers should not be described as Muslim terrorists out of fear that doing so would provide "the type of Islamic legitimacy that they are so desperately seeking, but which they don't deserve at all." Others seek to distract from the Islamist threat by claiming there is a deluge of anti- Muslim hate crimes or non- Muslim threats of violence where few exist.

Some cooperate with Islamist groups, such as the Council on American- Islamic Relations (CAIR). Others focus on depriving law enforcement of the necessary training and resources to recognize and counter Islamist threats. Or they legitimize Islamists as the only representative and acceptable face of American Islam, to the detriment of moderate Muslims, who are ignored and powerless. Many useful infidels defame those who speak up about the threat of Islamism, both Muslim and non- Muslim, often accusing them of bigotry and claiming their critique, and not Islamism itself, is the cause of jihad, extremism, and violence. Some go so far as to compile blacklists of those accused of this alleged thought crime. This demonization has painful consequences by confusing Americans and making them fearful to speak up.

Those fighting the threat of Islamism, Muslim and non- Muslim alike, need to express themselves freely, without fear of their reputations or livelihoods destroyed because they stand up to a totalitarian ideology. The media having an especially important role to unmask useful infidels, this handbook helps journalists in particular to recognize how useful infidels operate to shape public discourse on Islamism and to mainstream specious views. Non- journalists will also find it helpful to understand the hitherto- obscure function of useful infidels. We hope that journalists and scholars alike will build on this first analytic building block.
