'''Stephen Coughlin''' is a lawyer and former Joint Chiefs of Staff intelligence analyst who was in effect fired by the Pentagon at the request of [[Hesham Islam]] who has since been suspected of being an Islamic terrorist sympathizer.<ref>http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id=515712</ref> Coughlin's warnings that the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is affiliated with the terrorist group [[Muslim Brotherhood]] led Hesham Islam to call him "a Christian zealot with a pen." Subsequently, the [[Joint Chiefs of Staff]] did not renew Coughlin's contract as an intelligence analyst.<ref>http://www.aina.org/news/20080122133358.htm</ref> In ignoring Coughlin's warnings of the reality of [[islamic terrorism]] by its January 2008 termination of Coughlin, Pentagon turned a deliberate blind eye (i.e., the actions of then United States Deputy Secretary of Defense [[Gordon R. England]]), leading directly to [[Nidal Malik Hasan]]'s November 2009 [[jihadist Jihad|Jihadist attack]].<ref>[http://blog.cagle.com/2009/11/13/us-military-ignored-glaring-islamic-threats/ "U.S. Military Ignored Glaring Islamic Threats"]. Diana West. November 13th, 2009.</ref>
The negative U.S. security implications of his termination are discussed in the books ''The Failure Factory: How Unelected Bureaucrats, Liberal Democrats, and Big Government Republicans Are Undermining America's Security and Leading Us to War'' (Crown Forum, 2008) by [[Bill Gertz]], ''They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It'' (Macmillan, 2008) by [[Brigitte Gabriel]], ''Stealth Jihad: How Radical Islam is Subverting America Without Guns or Bombs'' (Regnery Publishing, 2008) by Robert Spencer, ''Shadow World: Resurgent Russia, the Global New Left, and Radical Islam'' (Regnery Publishing, 2008) by Robert Chandler, ''Surrender: Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom'' ([[Random House]], 2009) by Bruce Bawer, and ''Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America'' (WND, 2009) by P.
