Exhibits entered into evidence in the Holy Land Foundation trial identified CAIR as a front group for the Palestine Committee of the Muslim Brotherhood, and ISNA was also identified as an extension of the Muslim Brotherhood. Testimony by FBI Special Agent Lara Burns during that trial placed AMCE steering committee member Nihad Awad at an infamous 1993 meeting of U.S.-based Hamas leadership in Philadelphia.

And documents received this past August by the Investigative Project through a Freedom of Information Act request revealed that AMCE steering committee member Jamal al-Barzinji and AMCE advisory council member Yacub Mirza were listed in FBI memos as “members and leaders of the Ikhwan”, which is the Arabic term for the Muslim Brotherhood. Department of Homeland Security senior agent David Kane has testified in a federal court affidavit that “Barzinji is not only closely associated with PIJ [Palestinian Islamic Jihad], but also with Hamas.”

A December 2002 Wall Street Journal article relates some additional information about the terrorist connections of AMCE advisory council member Yacub Mirza:

According to court records and Justice Department documents, Mr. Mirza and several associates are suspected of funding the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which targets Israeli civilians with suicide bombers. U.S. officials privately say Mr. Mirza and his associates also have connections to al-Qaeda and to other entities officially listed by the U.S. as sponsors of terrorism.

Another FBI memo obtained by the Investigative Project states that al-Shingieti’s organization, IIIT, was one of the “Ikhwan organizations” that “are involved in organizing political support which involves influencing both public opinion in the United States as well as the United States government.” This political influence campaign was considered the first phase in a plan “to institute the Islamic revolution in the United States,” according to the FBI document.

It is appropriate to revisit these extensive contacts between AMCE member organizations and officials and the international Muslim Brotherhood network, and even activity by AMCE leaders in support of Islamic terrorist organizations, because another Muslim Brotherhood strategic document entered into evidence by federal prosecutors in the Holy Land Foundation trial revealed that the activity of these organizations in the U.S. is part of a “grand jihad” to destroy the West from within:

The process of settlement is a “civilization-jihadist process” with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.

These connections and the Muslim Brotherhood’s stated goal of waging a “grand jihad” inside the U.S. raise particular concerns considering statements reported by the Wall Street Journal made by al-Shingieti’s current boss, Jamal al-Barzinji, at a fall 2001 Organization of Islamic Conference meeting in Qatar, bragging how he and his associates had successfully infiltrated Washington:

At this time, the president and his administration are continually seeking the counsel and input of American Muslim leaders. At no other time has the Muslim community in America been more effective in relation to the processes of American government.

When considering the concerted and extensive effort by the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate the U.S. government, we can gain insight into how Abubaker al-Shingieti has transitioned from being a top official in the genocidal Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood regime, to a top official in the U.S.-based Muslim Brotherhood network, to leading the U.S. Muslim community’s outreach to the Obama administration as the head of American Muslims for Constructive Engagement.

Investigating his background we find that despite his recent image makeover as an expert in interfaith relations and reconciliation — a dramatic change from his service as a henchman to a genocidal government — that Abubaker al-Shingieti has not changed his Muslim Brotherhood allegiances in his various transitions, just merely changed employers. Many of his AMCE colleagues have made similar transitions to respectability without distancing themselves from their terrorist ties.

What’s a little genocide between friends? Thus we can expect that the agenda al-Shingieti carries in his contacts with the Obama administration will continue to be in service to the Muslim Brotherhood’s “grand jihad” he has served for the past two decades.

    Will his former activities in genocide not be seen as a resume enhancer?

    I would expect this will be interpreted as an advantage–dealing with someone who knows the ins and outs of the bad guys and their doings.

    Start reading WAR CHILD last night, written by a woman who was 9 years old when the Hitler Youth campaign invaded her German village and schools. Because her father refused to join the Nazis, send her to the “right school”, buy her the youth uniforms and allow her to attend the youth camps and sing the songs they were taught, the whole family came under terrific persecution over the months and years that followed.

    Just a reminder: if we refuse to learn the songs, we may be in trouble down the road.

    I’m going on record here and now: I’ll sing the songs of Zion, but I won’t sing for Obama.

    In the good old days this was called spying and sedition, the problem is that now it is undertaken by NGOs and transnational brotherhoods. The other problem is that no one will mention the 900 pound gorilla in the room. Islam hates and fears freedom, independent thought and capitalism and fervently hopes to destroy the last bastion of these(the US). Working with them is tantamount to treason.

    The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.

    The document you link elaborates the Muslim Brotherhood’s agenda for soft or “stealth” jihad in North America.
    It should be required reading for we infidels, particularly at the Army war college.

    The English starts about (hand numbered) page 15

    Anyone who reads left wing blogs knew the Democrats would be cozying up to jihadists. Gross!

    Yes free speach has its own problems there is much about porn and movies to dislike, but we have certainly been busy sowing the bad seeds we are reaping tomorrow…all that greed and money we don’t listen to the small things.. God Help Us

  7. The Ikhwan (Brotherhood) and its founder al-Qutb was what radicalized a cat named Osama. It is also responsible for the murder or Egyptian statesman Anwar Sadat, and its US stalking horses like ISNA and MAS are behind much Mohammedan hostility, such as the Minneapolis taxi-drivers’ attempt to push an extreme version of Sharia on the traveling public.

    There has been a lot of focus on CAIR, thanks to its and its officers’ frequent appearance on terrorism and terror-support charges (ISTR three — maybe two — CAIR types are serving long sentences and one accepted deportation rather than face a jury with blood on his hands). Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, this is three times at least. Eh?

    And the Brotherhood and its terrorist-support auxiliaries are an even purer sort of extremism than CAIR, which is the Hamas branch. Their goal is Mohammedan supremacy, their method is terrorism on the one hand, and abuse of our institutions on the other.

    I’m sure he’ll be on Obama’s speed-dial, so to speak.
