Napolitano Meets with Muslim Brotherhood Leaders

As part of a new "counter-radicalization" program, the Homeland Security secretary quietly met with individuals tied to the outlawed terror group. (This is Part One of a two-part article.)

The Muslim American Society, another participant in the DHS meeting, was founded in 1993 by Jamal Badawi, an Egyptian-born Muslim Brotherhood leader. The organization was founded in Chicago as an American chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood with the goal of introducing sharia law into Muslim-American communities in the United States.

Muslim Advocates, a Muslim civil rights organization, also attended the meeting. Although not connected with extremists, a current video on its website castigates current law enforcement measures to crack down on home-grown domestic terrorists. Encouraging its viewers to resist, the Muslim Advocates narrator says American “policing strategies have changed. Increasingly, law enforcement is casting a wide net reaching innocent people who have nothing to do with terrorism.”

Reaction to the Napolitano meeting with the radical organizations was largely negative. Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC), a member of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told Pajamas Media that while she applauded the administration’s effort to address domestic radicalization, she was “appalled” at the meeting with the radicals:

It is clear government agencies and officials do not get it. … [The meeting] is a dangerous policy and weakens our national security.

A former intelligence officer for the U.S. government told Pajamas Media:

The fact that the government reaches out to these groups, more than any other factor shows you how broken our intelligence apparatus is.

Steve Emerson, an internationally regarded anti-terrorism expert and the founder of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, said:

[The meetings displayed] a fundamental naïveté and glaring lack of critical knowledge about the source of jihadism in the world today, which is the Muslim Brotherhood. … I’m not sure she understands what the Muslim Brotherhood is. It’s the parent of al-Qaeda and all terrorist groups, and confirmed by all the intelligence chiefs.

Rep. Sue Myrick:

Some of these groups DHS is involving in their meetings are presenting themselves as moderates, when in fact they are radical Islamists whose actions are part of the problem, and who will never be part of the solution. It is clear government agencies and officials do not get it.

The Napolitano meeting is not the only Obama administration effort to invite extremists into government programs. Last month, thirteen U.S. House members wrote a letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates expressing outrage that Louay Safi, a top ISNA official, had been invited to deliver lectures on Islam to U.S. troops stationed at Fort Hood after the November 5 killing of 13 and wounding of 30 by a radicalized Muslim-American.

According to the congressional letter to Gates, Safi was connected to the “Safa Group,” which they alleged was “moving large sums of money to terrorist fronts.” Safi also was caught on a 1995 FBI wiretap with Sami Al-Arian, who in April 2006 pled guilty to a charge of conspiring to provide services to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

In the past, Democrats have invited Muslim-American radicals to join U.S. anti-terrorism programs. After a public backlash, former House Democratic Leader Rep. Dick Gephardt in 1999 was forced to withdraw the nomination of MPAC’s al-Marayati to serve on the National Commission on Terrorism.

Knowledge of the Napolitano meeting may complicate her relationship with Capitol Hill. Her meeting with the Arab groups occurred the day after the secretary had failed to appear at a scheduled January 27 congressional hearing by the House Committee on Homeland Security. Although she has privately met with House leaders to patch up her relationship, some congressional members continue to call for her resignation.

    It’s the Midnight Basketall approach counter-terrorism! Why do liberals always try to “engage” people who do bad things instead of defending us?

  2. 2. Fred Beloit

    Gee, ain’t this swell! We meet to discuss how we protect ourselves from our enemies WITH OUR ENEMIES. Every damed day, a new Obama administration outrage. And the government-owned media yawns and minimizes. They claim the Republicans have broken Washington. No. The Dems and their leaders have broken Washington. But by God we’re going to fix it in November.

  3. 3. ahem

    Yeah, like Mister Napolitano is going to talk them reasonably out of their religious fanaticism. She’s one of the first ones they’d probably throw off aroof if they ever took over the country. She doesn’t know s**** about Islamism. What is she going to do, hold an encounter group? Buy them a beer? Listen to sad stories about how they’re misunderstood by their wives?

    What a farce and a waste.

  4. Let’s stop playing games: for this administration the true Patriots are the terrorists, therefore it makes perfect sense that Napolitano meets the muslim brotherhood thugs.
    There is no “mistake” in this action, the mistake is in the mind of the pundits who keep hoping to get good things for their careers by denying that we face a radical , subversive , administration.

    This administration knows that the elections in November will be the end of the attempted subversion of America, hence the administration moves fast to attack America in any way possible.

    Why are you Americans surprised you elected a LYING MOHAMMEDAN BOGUS POTUS and licking Mohammedan ass and protecting his BROTHERS is what LYING MOHAMMEDAN BOGUS POTUS’s do.

  6. 6. Tex Taylor

    Why is this hack in any position of authority in America? Every thing this “reprehensible hag” has done and said for the past eight years has shown not only is “it” utterly devoid of sense, but an absolute detriment to our beloved country.

  7. 7. Cameron Wood

    In other news, the FBI recently met with the relatives of top Mafia hoods to tell them which phone lines were tapped and to exhort them to get their “made” kin to use the tapped lines for any official Mafia business.

    Makes about the same kinda sense.

  8. 8. always right

    These are not terrorists or ‘outlawed terrorist entities’. The memo last year clearly identified which group is the extremist.

    The Obama administration is focusing laser sharp on those returning veterans. You won’t see Obama extending a hand in negotiation with these known baby killers.

    Progressives? Isn’t that an oxymoron?

    They always think that they’re smarter than anyone else, even though they have so little common sense and they’re so immoral that their own personal lives are usually train wrecks.

    Appeasement is synonomous with Progressives is synonomous with weakness is synonomous with irrational is synonomous with liberal is synonomous with communist is synonomous with loony and with goofy.

    The Democrats are a coalition of creeps, losers, misfits and perverts, all of whom are either mentally ill or mentally retarded (or both, as can only be the case with Democrats).

    Was that an ad hominem attack, or a simple statement of an irrefutable fact?

    • I’m not s rue that progressive is as much an oxymoron although it’s present incarnation could certainly be representative of the condition. OTOH it is at best, misleading and I do know of several tech wizards who think it means technologically advanced. They are well educated, I didn’t say they are smart<:-))

      OTOH it's not just the Democrats as there are many progressives in the Republican party as well. Of course that stands to reason as the progressives have taken over our educational system and have been a prevalent force in that area for decades. Long enough for the results to be showing up in middle aged graduates from the 60's. It fits right in with "The Roots of Obama's Rage" and "Culture of Coruption".

    Hmmmm, okee dokee, how about, it’s my carefully considered opinion that Janet Napolitano is incompetent and unqualified to have the job that she has? May I see that her boss is an empty suit, too? Or is that an ad hominem attack on that bumbling, incompetent twit?

  17. 17. Nick

    “May I see that her boss is an empty suit, too? Or is that an ad hominem attack on that bumbling, incompetent twit?”

    Correction:

    Oops, that was supposed to be, May I say, not May I see. It’s this stupid computer. It’s microprocessor, i.e., it’s “brain”, is so mentally retarded that it keeps misspelling words that I type correctly. Maybe it was made by a Democrat who went to a public school, ya think? Or an android missing some of its circuit boards. Android, Democrat, what’s the difference?

    David/10; –all due respect, but your question is misplaced, imho. It should come after you get an answer as to why nearly 100% of the commenters here do totally, utterly, distrust Napolitano (and the crew she rides with).

  25. 25. karlinsync

    I cannot believe what I have just read. Is this the most insane administration in my lifetime or just plain clueless to security protection of the US? If the latter this is very very scary. God help us free loving Americans!!

  26. 26. John Blake

    At what point does a Banana Administration figure’s active collusion with America’s sworn enemies descend from aid-and-comfort to complicity in terrorist attacks, i.e. to treason as defined? Meantime, when have any murderous jihadists ever accommodated U.S. or even Western interests, solemnly nodding turbaned heads as Napolitano types indulge their doltish texts.

  27. This is pure kabuki theater. Would Janet meet with Christian, Buddhist, and other religious groups to engender their cooperation as well? How absurd. You infiltrate the enemy by recruiting informants & inserting your own agents, not by having tea at high noon.

    In essence, extremist Muslims get a red phone directly to DHS. What happens when they start demanding cultural concessions in exchange for info like they did in Britain? Janet & Barry will bear their necks, but wow will the American people be furious when they get wind of this BS.

  28. 28. JT

    Much ado about nothing. Eisenhower regularly briefed Rommel.

    Bid Sis is always circumspect, and I’m certain that they won’t sink any of her ships.

  29. 29. Some Woman

    What’s telling is that Napolitano is not meeting with the innocent, non-Muslim Americans who deal with delay and invasion of privacy every day by her TSA and Customs Department due to Islamic terrorism.

    When is Napolitano going to meet with women’s groups over the gross violation of personal privacy represented by her plan to virtually strip search every female passenger for the edification of the scanner operator?

  33. 33. Polemical

    Interesting article. One can never really know who’s your ally. So, I guess on some fronts, it’s good to keep them close to you – sans any classified information goes astray.

    One editorial comment: Your paragraph about the Muslim Brotherhood “assasinating Anwar Sadat” is illogical. You should’ve said “x, closely associated with the MB, assasinated Anwar Sadat.” Not – ‘An organization’ killed him. An organization cannot kill or assasinate anyone – a person or persons can only do that.

  34. Next we’ll be excluding folks that are objectionable to the jihadis from entering our country.
    People like Geert Wilders.

    Napolitano needs to be put out to pasture.

  35. 35. whyyeseyec

    Muslim Brotherhood(MB)??? What is the purpose for the existance of this bogus organization?? Is this like `diversity training` on steroids? Is this where the MB tells Americans how we should behave towards islam?

    How about we tell them to act and behave like Americans or get the h-e-double-hockey-sticks out of our country!! Same thing goes for CAIR. Their sole purpose is to browbeat Americans into accepting islam into every aspect of our society.

    Big Sis is a fool. Can you image what the islam jihadists must be thinking when they see her? She couldn`t strike fear into a ham sandwich let alone terrorists….

  36. 36. Richard W.

    Excuse me, but yes, organizations can and do kill people. History is replete with examples.
    The Klan, the Black Panthers, the Mafia, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the FBI, the Hells Angels…

    Shall I go on?

  37. 37. Leatherneck

    CFR members believe everyone is good inside somewhere, you just have to reach that goodness with enough talk, or strongly worded letters.

    G-d told us every man’s heart is evil. Now, I believe G-d over the CFR, and if you throw in men who worship a false moon god that wants them to murder in it’s name, then we should kick out the enemy, not talk and hold hands.

    Put me in charge before it is to late. I profile.

  38. 38. Wayne

    Is anyone surprised J.(anet) Edgar Incompetano is giving friendly briefings to Al Qaeda (what do you think the Muslim Brotherhood really is, duh!!).

    I would bet that these douche bags are encouraging an AQ attack – not to mention prepping the way for Iran to hit us and Israel. The freaking racist Black Panther organizer bozo in the White House is looking forward to declaring Martial Law and rounding up everyone who has been dissenting ala Woodrow Wilson.

    Remember Wilson used the Army to murder protesting veterans after the war, too.

    People have forgotten that the world’s first true leftwing fascist dictator – Woodrow Wilson – used the Sedition Acts and other decrees to round up around 175,000 Americans and put them in prison during WWI for daring to dissent against the war – or even things like just refusing to buy War Bonds. Both Hitler and Mussolini praised Wilson’s actions and used quotes from his speeches to exhort their followers.

    You want an eye opener, read Jonah Goldbergs “Liberal Fascism” and you will realize that Barack Obama is the spiritual and intellectual descendant of the worst tyrannical, oppressive, murderous fascists the world has ever known.

  39. Funny. How does something that I and the Detroit Free Press and every Islamic organization wrote about a month ago now an “exclusive by Richard Pollock”?
    http://www.debbieschlussel.com/16307/terrif-dhs-chieftess-recruits-muslims-extremists-to-combat-muslim-extremism/
    Hey, maybe next month he’ll have a PJM “exclusive” about bread now coming in slices.

  40. HA! Richard Pollock’s “exclusive” about this is neither “exclusive” nor news, since I and the Detroit Free Press and several Muslim sites wrote about it a month ago:
    http://www.debbieschlussel.com/16307/terrif-dhs-chieftess-recruits-muslims-extremists-to-combat-muslim-extremism/
    What’s next–an “exclusive” about how cups now come in paper and plastic?

  41. 41. buddy larsen

    Several years ago, i read in several mainstream sites high in search on [ history muslim brotherhood ] that the Muslim Brotherhood was formally organized in Berlin, in the mid 1930s, with the organizational assistance of the Nazi Party.

    Just now the same search terms look a little different, with strangely-named sites occupying the high ground. What is astounding is that the wiki –the famed repository of hard data, if not reliably non-partisan politics, here fails on the hard data too, managing to leave Germany and the Nazis completely out of the relevant section, that is: ‘history, 1928-1938′.

    This fellow manages to remember, if equivocatingly, a little something:

    In 1938-1945, The Brotherhood formed an alliance with the German Third Reich in Egypt. Both groups wanted to rid Egypt of British decadence and laws against Islam. These years fermented the fear and hatred toward the west and other British western allies.

  42. 42. Allston

    Wayne:

    You know, that is perhaps one of the things that piss off people to no end: the inability to discuss the topic at hand, and constantly raise the spectre of “well, so-and-so did it once too.”

    God’s sake, Man, can’t people on these sites just for ONCE discuss the current topic and not do this moral-relativistic comparison.

    We have on display the worst of the worst and getting worse. It seems that they can not help themselves at stupid statements and decisions over just about any subject you could think of. This woman (if she is she might be waiting for a sex change operation) has no reason to hold her position, but like many others in this administration I am only hoping that the country has seen the light and will vote to remove the current congress and senate and remove them from the offices they now hold and prosecute most if not all of those that are destroying our country!

    I’ll put $20 on: #31 nailed it.

    If these folks want to do the “Joel ch. 2 horde” thing…
    they’re gonna need a big army.

    Here’s my question, just out of curiosity, I wonder about the logistics of it all:
    When Germany did what Germany did, how exactly did they take and redistribute the homes of 7 or 8 million Jews? Was there a lottery? Did good Germans drive around before it all went down and call dibs? Put their names on a list?

    And I wonder if right now, there are hopeful sick libs driving up, say, the Lake Michigan coast, looking for really nice houses with anti-State yard signs, and making a wish list, like newlyweds looking at houses. Biding their time.

    I don ‘t like Napolitano, so I cannot be rational about her and obama and their secret meetings with people that are trying to destroy us.

    I do not understand what they think they will accomplish. She is speaking with a culture that has no respect for women…so why would she be in this position with them?

  54. 54. Nick Reynolds

    She’ll probably enlist the MB in helping her root out those pesky domestic terrorits; TEA Partiers and Vets. I imagine after that they’ll enlist in O’no3moreyear’s civilian defense corpse, that’s just as well funded, and powerful as the military. Big things coming our way!!! Yay!!

  55. Not only isn’t this an “exclusive” (which it’s falsely labeled) but it’s news that’s nearly a month old and which I covered at the time when it was news. In addition, Mr. Pollock failed to do even a modicum of research. He claims he could not get the list of individuals and organizations who participated. But that’s funny, since I got it the day after the event, when I first reported on it, back on January 29.

    http://www.debbieschlussel.com/16307/terrif-dhs-chieftess-recruits-muslims-extremists-to-combat-muslim-extremism/

    http://www.debbieschlussel.com/17611/pajamas-medias-breaking-exclusive-covered-by-schlussel-a-month-ago/

    Not exclusive, not accurate–Mr. Pollock and PJTV didn’t do their homework. The list you claim wasn’t available was in fact not only available, but reported by me almost a month ago.

    That makes sense. Muslums faithful to the Vatican need a support group. They along with Roman Catholic Napolitano will sit down and discuss how to best instigate the Unenlightment, counter-reformation tactics, and carve up the Middle East into societies that serve the Black Pope. Also TBD are heretics to be burned in staged false flag attacks, and taxes to siphon all personal income back to the Bank of England.

    I saw Taqiyyotomist above and it reminded me of something I learned while living in the Middle East for 8 years.

    Is anyone here familiar with the Arabic term “taqi-iddeen”? As I understand it, it is a fundamental guiding principle in Islam and asserts that deceit, lying and other crimes are to be promoted and are of the highest “good” as long as these acts benefit Islam. Or rather benefit what any Moslem may think Islam is.

    Isn’t this what the “Brotherhood” is about?

    Is there anyone who knows more about this than I do? Did I misunderstand taqi-iddeen? It was the name of a friend over there who explained the meaning to me.

    Let’s not forget that this “taqi-iddeen” technique has been used countless times by ‘assassins’ of Islam. A very sober thought IMHO. Giving these people inside info and guided tours of U.S. facilities including the WH is in itself a moronic and suicidal exercise; it’s the opposite to:

    “…the enemy giving us a way to destroy ourselves.”

    It’s an assassin’s dream come true. Amazing!!!! Somebody better wake up!!!

    This administration is playing with fire. I would rather believe they are ignorant , because then, at leat. they could be schooled. Unfortuntely, I dont think thats the case and we are being led by an administration whos idealogy is warped and dangerous.

    Hey, you guys who regularly come over from the Daily Kos and the Huffington Post to ridicule us, is there any outrage posted on those sites about what Ms. Napolitano has done? Or, to the contrary, are there posts praising her actions?

    If so, please supply the links. Thanks

    Meeting with terrorists? Try her for treason. If she’s found guilty, give her the death penalty.

  65. 65. Joe

    To me, there is a distinct pattern, starting with Obama and his first visitations. I will never be able to forget the picture of him bowing from the waist. He takes more pains with the terrorists than he does with our allies, Britain and Israel. None of this is accidental. Whatever may be said of his advisors, they are not stupid. Just hope we can stay safe and out of bankruptcy 3 more years.

  66. 66. Swobama

    You gotta absolutely know that our fanatic enemies just laugh themselves to sleep every night thinking how easy it is to play the Great Satan. They must sit around over their hooka pipes just dreaming up outrageous ways to mess with the weak minds of our “leaders.”

    Why is this imbecile still in the administration? She has done so many stupid things and all of them are endangering the country? She clearly has no qualification to hold such a position, my 8 year old granddaughter would do a better job and is probably more qualified. Our country has the worst administration ever and she is just one of many with no business to be holding the positions that they have!

    This November change that by voting out as many democrats as possible and go for impeachment in January 2011 as well as hearings of former and possibly still standing democrats like Barney Frank to remove them from office without their pensions and other perks.

  70. 70. Barbara

    Ms Napolitano was pro amnesty while Gov. in AZ and now she can add pro muslim terrorist to her credentials. She did nothing to protect our country’s soveriegnty while in AZ. It’s apparent to almost everyone that she is not a patriot and not interested in our security. She seems to be asking for the Ms Terrorist protector of the year award and I believe she has earned it. This administration thinks poorly of our country and is doing everyting to destroy it. What constitutes treason? It still boggles my mind that Mr. Obama won the presidency. He lied then and he’s still lying. God bless America and God bless our patriots.

  71. 71. manny222

    I do not believe that anyone was ever appointed to an agency the size of DHS, with so little experience and smarts.
    Whenever i have to view her image something is set off in me. The last time this happened i destroyed all of the pots and pans, (aluminum) with my teeth. I chewed them up and was forced to spit them out by my wife. Of course, i resented that. So i swore that i would never do that again. Now again i have to see her. AMERICA will be lucky if she doesn’t give away the store at her last meeting with the muslim arabs. So i have a suggestion. Let’s double her salary, indoctrinate her into the ways of the q’uoran, smuggle her into Afghanistan wearing a burqua, and have her infiltrate the Taliban and, yes, even AL QUAEDA. We do not have to lose another soldier. She will ruin our enemies and make them sue for peace and swear never to start up with our country again.

  72. They always think that they’re smarter than anyone else, even though they have so little common sense and they’re so immoral that their own personal lives are usually train wrecks.

    “I honestly do not think we can take another 3 years of this.”

    And we will not tolerate anymore of our blood being shed in America. I dare the muslims to try again…there will be an insurrection.

    The Muslim Brotherhood was started with the help of Hitler and were his allies in WWII. They are the nazi’s that were not hunted after WWII. Their brand of naziism was left alone and grew into the islamo-nazi’s they are today.

    We have NO business being associated with the Muslim Brotherhood !! What kind of fools think we should ?

    Egypt does not even like them. So whats our point? Lets be nice and play together in the sand box? Can’t wait until Nov 2010. After that there should be a movement to impeach Obama.

    If you’re a christian, especially a Catholic, you are no more separated from The Muslim Brotherhood than a siamese twin.

    I think it is a huge wast of taxpayer money and, most importantly, sending wrong messages, to meet with any religious organization or representatives of a religion. That includes anyone who is not the leader of a religion, such as the Pope. I don’t even know if other religions have top dogs, but unless they do, it is a mission that is wrong.

    What exactly is the purpose of focusing on islam? If there is a religion that creates havoc in the world, it is that one and meeting with alleged leaders who purport to be for peace gets us nowhere.

    If I’m missing something, please advise.

  79. You know what I’d like to see? The dismantling of the Department of Homeland Security and a foreign policy that doesn’t take sides in the endless quarrels around the world in which we have no compelling national interest. Then whatever terrorists left who still have the motivation to harm America can be stopped by either our military, (which should be securing our borders), or law enforcement, which should mostly be local and in the business of actually protecting us and not collecting revenue from us! Let the regimes around the world who are the real, primary targets of the terrorists (Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and almost every other dictatorial regime in the M.E.)deal with them “over there” for a change. I’ve spent years of my life “over there” doing just that as an Army Special Forces NCO, so I do have a clue.
    I wish everyone in the executive branch would read George Washington’s farewell address. He saw all this nonsense coming and tried to warn us. We don’t need isolationism or interventionism, which are extreme opposites at either end of the spectrum. What we need is non-interventionism: The moderate foreign policy of a strong defense, real free trade (not what usually goes by that name), and the avoidance of favoring certain governments or entangling alliances with them. That’s the policy that can bring back liberty AND security to the USA!

  80. “” This program was imported from (once great[ish] Britain). The (0zero) “administration” has decided to replicate the (Limeys) program to “win over” Muslims and to “get them to collaborate” …”"

    Yair.

    For G-d allown knows that 0zero’s “administration” could do no better than to turn for help to those who presently provide sanctuary for thousands of the world’s most dangerous Islamanazis? To those who are also the all-time all-comers world champion appeasers and who were never better represented (unless by the lying, thieving, Marxist hater, Atlee or by the Soviet-agent/traitor, Wilson) than by the definitive appeaser, Neville Chamberlain? By those who are fresh from 36 or so years of appeasing the predatory pack of bank-robbing, drunken-bum, drug and gun-running, baby and little-old-lady murdering gangster basta*ds that so grandiosely calls itself the “i r a?”

    Yair.

    That’s what the lame duck 0zero “administration” should do.

    I have been following several mainstream news sites like NY Times and Washington Post, several religious and conservative sites, some liberal ones, and assorted TV etc. news channels, and this is the first I have heard about DHS Secretary Napolitano meeting with those clearly linked to what the U.S. government and other usually reliable people say are groups linked to Muslim Brotherhood, with its deep terrorist roots and ties to Al Queda, etc.

    One would hope she, as a former U.S. Attorney (federal prosecutor) etc., under whose department the FBI, ICE, DEA, etc. now fall, knows, or has experts who know, and who she will, hopefully, listen to, who know how to get rather than leak intelligence information. I have heard to “keep your friends close and your enemies closer,” but in her case one has to wonder and doubt this. Of course we don’t, and they may, know of real intelligence they are getting from inside some Muslim groups.

    I have not personally verified this, but, when Napolitano was U. S. Attorney in Arizona, usually reliable news sources reported that she refused to prosecute a number of child porn cases [that's child abuse plus illegal commerce] claiming that this would contribute to bias against “gays,” which is kind of funny because the Air Force’s solid top expert on child sex abuse taught me that it is at least as likely to be committed by heterosexuals or switch-hitters, and most of the many cases I dealt with professionally were heterosexual incest, some of it prominent people of both political parties.
    What we do know about “Homeland Security” under Napolitano is that, after all the show and therater, making little old ladies take off their shoes, more or less revealing full-body scans, etc., a real terrorist can still get on a plane with explosives and only suspicious passengers, not DHS people, stopped him.

    We are at war. We have repeaetdly been attacked by Al Queda and their brothers the Muslim Brotherhood, all of whom are Muslims of one denomination or another. The motivation, rationale, or rationalization for these successful, unsuccessful, and still planned attacks is rooted in our enemies’ Muslim religious beliefs and interpretations of their Quoran, such as they are, and their hostility both to the Judeo – Christian religion, the United States, and the non-Muslims.

    Now remember that, one suspects because of our dependance upon Arab (Muslim) oil and how much of our money and government notes they have, Bush made a big deal of how peaceful the Muslims are, just as Obama and Napolitano do now. Some may be, but many are not. Indeed, the Muslim Brotherhood and its close allies are not trusted or liked by the Egyptian, Saudi, etc., governments, but why our DHS Secretary and other officials would be meeting with high representatives of groups our own government has linked to its own real terrorist organization list is mildly puzzling.

    Shouldn’t DHS be out identifying, investigating and rounding up veterans, pro-life advocates, TEA Party activists, Republicans, and other critics of Obama-administration policies per their own warning about these alleged menaces circulated to police and other agencies earlier?

    At the ripe old age of 73, I still can flex my trigger finger. I didn’t participate in two wars and give 37 years of my life to my countrys defense to sit idely by and witness this SXXX.

    I finf myself thinking about my sniper training and wondering if I can still make that one shot one kill as my old friend and buddy
    Carlos made in the vietnamese jungle.
    I think I can, and the way things are going I may have to do just that. We are in big trouble America the Nigerian has us buy the gonads and if we blink we are lost.

    America doesn’t have a clue how embedded islamic radicals are in our businesses, law enforcement, media, and state and national government. This is a war from within, a piece by piece effort to islumize America and they are winning because of our RADICAL

  84. 84. t.lewis

    The administration just doesn’t get it. We are at war from within as the efforts for radical islamic terrorist, and radical islamic non terrorist efforts to islamize America a piece at a time, starting with political corrctness, and ending in legislation on behalf of the Muslim communities. C.A.I.R. is very pro active in this silent Jihad of America, and their winning.

  85. 85. Bebe99

    Hysteria, hyperbolic language, fear, fear, fear. The assertion here seems to be that we are at war with terrorists who are Muslims, so we should never talk to any one who is Muslim (even those who are also Americans) unless we happen to be torturing them. Is that about right?

    The goals of the globalists have not changed.

    The desire to subjugate our national sovereignty has never before been so rabid. The closer our enemies within come to accomplishing their objectives, the greater the danger becomes to the freedom granted to us by God and our Constitution.

    As long as Obama is permitted to occupy the highest office without any person, group or agency demanding answers and accountability, the more dangerous and perilous times become.

    The longer we allow our elected officials to disregard our demand for answers, dismiss us, ignore us, or impugn the reasonableness of our concerns, the closer we are to losing our Republic.

    At issue is more than a piece of paper detailing the pedigree of Barack Hussein Obama. We need complete disclosure, and we need it now, not in 2012.

    Tomorrow might be too late.
