Patrick Boylan

Patrick Boylan, M.S. who is the founder of the Center for Strategic Analysis (CSA) started a Bachelors program in Homeland Security and served as chair of the Department for a University in Indiana, in 2005. He received his Masters in Crisis and Emergency Management from the Institute for Security Studies (UNLV) and a Masters in Educational Leadership from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, (UNLV), where he intends to go on and finish his Ph.D.

Having grown up in his own words, “the only Irish Catholic in a Muslim country” (where he got his Masters in Geology and worked as a journalist and geologist), he has first hand knowledge of, and experience with the true causes of Contemporary terrorism, and understands well the question that plagues so many in the Western world, "Why do they hate us?"

Mr. Boylan has had many discussions about religion and its role in every day life with both “moderate” and "extremist" Muslims, some who were former Mujahaideen in the war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, and realizes the only way to peace is by understanding the religious/cultural factors of the people of the Middle East and Southwest Asia.

He feels strongly that the West has no idea who the real enemy is, and has adopted as his personal motto Sun Tzu's adage, "Know your enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated. When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are sure to be defeated in every battle"

His unique knowledge and understanding of the terrorist mindset makes him an asset in this so called “War on Terror". He is known for his thought provoking presentations on Islam and Terrorism at Nellis Air force Base in Nevada, UNLV, Regis University, The National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE), Las Vegas College, the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO), The Intelligence Summit etc. His articles on Islamic terrorism have been published at Frontpage.com, Jihadwatch.com and numerous other websites.

After speaking the truth about Contemporary Terrorism at UNLV, he received threats from people he calls cowards and feels they will never be able to silence the truth. "Too many people were afraid to even speak up against the Nazis, and so many, many innocents died, now we are too afraid to speak the truth about Islamic terrorism and the death rate of innocents is going to rise steadily."
