This case doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Sabadia’s religion.
The problem is that the family is giving a whole lot of money to an organization
that gets funding from overseas and represents the interests of foreign
governments and designated terrorist entities.
There no question on any of these points –
and that’s just based on what’s in open source documents.
The only real question is why they’ve not been prosecuted, at least for being unregistered
agents. Every time they try to influence U.S. policy, they break the law.
The free pass might have something to do
with the executive bending over to Saudi influence, or it might be out of fear,
not wanting to have HAMAS turn its sights on domestic targets, or (in some cases, esp. lower level)
it’s ignorance and being on the left (if President Bush hated it, it must be good).
I’d put my money on fear of becoming a target….
same reason almost no effort has been made in the last 30 years
to root out Hezbo and Iranian regime influence from Shiite mosques.
The mullah-lovers have till now largely contented themselves with killing Americans overseas.
The stuff you hear in some of the Shiite mosques near DC is way worse even than Huffington Post.
Being an American doesn’t mean you can get security clearance, much less
the more rigorous kinds. I’ve had students turned down for being married
to a foreigner and for talking about immigrating one day to Israel.
If I cut a check for $100 every month to my local Maronite church,
it won’t be a problem. If I give that money to support Phalange boyscouts,
I’m screwed.
In the case of CAIR, I’d be doubly screwed, as foreign preference is an issue.
For ever thousand hateful lies CAIR tells about the US and every thousand times Awad
condemns each and every citizen for being a genocidal bigot, he might add the qualifier:
“Still, I am willing to continue living here, but only ’cause I’m such a big-hearted guy.”
First question I’d ask: You’re American, right?
Next question: Why you supporting these folks who hate America?
The picknose Hussam Ayloush should shut his hamacidal trap.
His organization and its mothership have done more to harm American Muslims
than AQ could ever do.
Then again, it’s Ikhwan strategy, and very, very deliberate.
If you want to make a revolution:
1. Form your cadres.
2. Bring down on your cadres (by extension the whole diaspora), the wrath of the greater society.
Even better if you can get your younger cadres arrested and tortured.
All this serves to test their loyalty and bind them more closely to the cause.
For the diaspora, this means finding ways to make non-Muslims hate Muslims
and Muslims hate non-Muslims.
They’ve got whole books on this subject.
The strategy makes me want to vomit.
The Muslim community is as clueless about it as are non-Muslims.
Try to tell them and you’re immediately dismissed as a conspiracy monger.
You got any idea how hard it is to be dismissed as a conspiracy monger by Muslims?!

A few passages from DoD guide to things that might lead to rejection.
Guideline B
Foreign Influence
The Concern. A security risk may exist when an individual’s immediate
family, including cohabitants, and other persons to whom he or she
may be bound by affection, influence, or obligation are not citizens
of the United States or may be subject to duress. These situations
could create the potential for foreign influence that could result
in the compromise of classified information. Contacts with citizens
of other countries or financial interests in other countries are
also relevant to security determinations if they make an individual
potentially vulnerable to coercion, exploitation, or pressure.
Conditions that could raise a security concern and may be disqualifying
include:
e, Unauthorized association with a suspected or known collaborator
or employee of a foreign intelligence service;
g. Indications that representatives
or nationals from a foreign country are acting to increase the
vulnerability of the individual to possible future exploitation,
coercion or pressure;
Guideline C
Foreign Preference
The Concern. When an individual acts in such a way as to indicate
a preference for a foreign country over the United States, then he
or she may be prone to provide information or make decisions that
are harmful to the interests of the United States.
Guideline L
Outside Activities
The Concern. Involvement in certain types of outside employment
or activities is of security concern if it poses a conflict with
an individual’s security responsibilities and could create an
increased risk of unauthorized disclosure of classified information.
Conditions that could raise a security concern and may be disqualifying
include:
Any service, whether compensated, volunteer, or employment with:
a. A foreign country; b. Any foreign national; c. A representative
of any foreign interest; d. Any foreign, domestic, or international
organization or person engaged in analysis, discussion, or publication
of material on intelligence, defense, foreign affairs, or protected
technology.
