Why Does the American Conservative Union Welcome Suhail Khan?
The annual meeting of CPAC, the American Conservative Political Action Conference, is just around the corner. It’s a big deal, attracting some 10,000 conservatives to the nation’s capital each year. The roster of speakers is a who’s who of conservative celebrities: pundits and politicians, authors and activists, people with names like “Palin,” “Gingrich,” “Coulter,” “Romney,” “Breitbart,” and “Cheney.” Panels include “Policy Recommendations for Real Immigration Reform,” “Traditional Marriage as a Cure to Poverty,” “Next Steps: The Pro-life Movement’s Plans and Goals,” “Repealing Obamacare: In The States, In Courts, and In Congress.” In other words, it’s the sort of gathering calculated to send a different sort of thrill up Chris Matthews’s leg and prod Sheriff Clarence Dupnik into another bout of frenzied incoherence on the subject of “right-wing hate speech,” etc. Just think what it would do to disgraced Hack Columnist Paul Krugman, Keith Olbermann (goodbye, Keith!), or Frank Rich.
I am planning to drop in at some point during the festivities at CPAC this year, and since I happen to be in favor of real immigration reform, traditional marriage, and repealing ObamaCare, I expect to like a lot that I hear.
There has been a lot of virtual ink deployed about the fact that several traditional participants, including the Heritage Foundation, will not be attending this year because GOProud, a gay conservative group, is included as a participating organization. I dissent sharply from some of GOProud’s actions — its attack on Jim DeMint, for example. But to my mind, far more troubling than the presence of GOProud (which, after all, declares itself “committed to a traditional conservative agenda that emphasizes limited government, individual liberty, free markets and a confident foreign policy”) is the composition of the governing board of CPAC’s umbrella organization, the American Conservative Union. I see several friends listed there. But then there is Suhail Khan, self-appointed Republican Muslim ambassador to the conservative world. Remember the story of the wolf in sheep’s clothing? Keep it in mind as you ponder Mr. Khan.
One of the panels I am especially looking forward to at CPAC is “The Sharia Challenge to The West.” As regular readers of Roger’s Rules know, I believe that Sharia, i.e., Islamic law, does “challenge,” i.e., threaten, the West. Here, for the record, are a few bits of evidence about my position:
I wonder what Mr. Khan will think of “The Sharia Challenge to The West.” It’s a subject he knows intimately, since he is part of it. He presents himself as a conservative Republican who can speak for “moderate Muslims.” In fact, as Paul Sperry, Frank Gaffney (more background here), and others have pointed out, at the end of the day Suhail Khan is a smooth-talking apologist for the Muslim Brotherhood (about which, see Andrew McCarthy’s The Grand Jihad), a radical Islamist group whose credo is: “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”
Khan, Grover Norquist redux-GOP wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!!
[W]hat are our oppressors going to do with people like us? We’re prepared to give our lives for the cause of Islam.
So let’s help them along. Turn Mecca into a glass factory. The sooner the better.
Dear CPAC, DO NOT let this guy in the tent. Islam and conservative politics are NOT compatible.
When all you care about is money, anything goes.
They let GOPAC in, so there’s no reason to keep anybody out now.
CPAC is a sinking ship. The sooner people get off it, the better.
If Gays are willing to support a conservative position, I welcome them into the tent. Islam…. never.
“If Gays are willing to support a conservative position, I welcome them into the tent. Islam…. never.”
On what basis do you welcome one “non-traditional” conservative group into CPAC but not another? Aren’t followers of Islam conservative in many ways?
Well, if killing everyone who disagrees with you is conservative…
That’s three times “oppressor” in that quote of SuHeil Con. 1.6 billion of the world’s populace, 57 counted states, a huge mass on the globe, with loads of oil to boot, and they’re still “oppressed.”
Dare, however, to suggest that a lot of the problems in the Muslim world are self-inflicted, such as the rampant congenital diseases and stupidity resulting from marrying cousins over multiple generations, and you’re branded a “racist” (first by their Marxist allies, then, having learned that art from them, by the Muslims themselves).
When you realize all this, your sympathy toward them dries up really quick. Less and less do you talk about “helping them out of their backwardness” (the root of the whole “nation-building” fallacy in Iraq and Afghanistan) and instead you turn to “We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be” (“island” meaning whatever group you belong to).
ziontruth
“that’s tree times the opressor”
The entire world is ignorant of their culture. The history of these people has been covered up or obliterated. Look at Europe and the problems with muslims. England , France, Netherlands, even Swenden and her neighbors. What dumbed down people of Europe to embrace this great unwashed backward group into their midst which now they pay the price for. 1.6 billion can pick and chose which liberal and social-progressive nation to immigrate to and be coddled and hugged while they silently change the host nations. Thank you for your comment, not many are as brave.
Yes, the Muslims are coming, the Muslims are coming. Meanwhile Wikileaks just published proof that the PA all but groveled to the Israelis, offered virtually all of East Jerusalem to them, and got a kick in the face in return. Oh, but never mind that! Let’s all think about scary Muslims. Much more fun.
yes of course, as always, it’s all israels fault…what has what israel has or has not done to do with muslims and sharia in the usa? oh i know, it is all a plot by the evil jews and their puppets the great satan america to make mulims look bad…muslims are pure and innocent…all problems in the world is the fault of the ignorant infidel
Strange.
Offhand, I can’t seem to think of even one of those many bombings carried out by Israelis around the world. Hmmm. Hostage taking of children? I know they must have done that at least a few times. Rioting in the streets? Yeah, they must have.
Oh well, no matter. Even if I can’t think of the instances at the moment, I’m sure it must have happened. I mean, we all know how taking over the world by stealth or violence is a central tenet of Judaism, and that they’ve said and proven over and over that they DO intend to bring us all into subjection to them right?
Right?
Yeah, those Jews sure are scary.
Yes, Moslems are scary. Anyone who wants to take over the world and impose their sadistic, sick view of what morality is are not just scary, but MUST be defeated. The Palestinians have been offered their own state more times than any other people on earth and have refused each and every time. As for East Jerusalem, having been there many times, as well as several other Moslem countries, I can tell you that it is a SH*T-HOLE…. and the reason is because scary Moslems live there.
As a free-minded individual, I respect an individual’s right to choose whom he wants to associate with. I also reserve the right to judge individuals and organizations by the company they keep.
More than 70 years ago, in response to Himmler’s endorsement of the alliance between Hitler and the Muslim Brotherhood (the precursor to Hamas), Churchill wrote: “… to fight this current war to victory requires understanding and accepting the similarities between the Nazis and the Arab-Islamic terrorist armies.”
True then. True today. ‘Nough said.
If I wanted to live in the time of the Dark Ages, the Crusades, the return of the Mehdi, the Shi’ite/Sunni wars, the slaughter of the Mormons, the Pogroms, the Spanish Inquisition, the Druid attacks on the Romans, the [insert most of history here]…
I would have swam faster.
Get over yourselves. Guy comes at me with a gun or a bomb, I’m not checking his Facebook favorite reading page, his Internet history before I react. Simple as that.
All the rest is white noise. Smoke and mirrors. A lousy plot line in a novel. Something to get the kids to brush their teeth at night without any fuss.
Now, if any adults want to join me in the here and now – fine.
Jeff, please get back to us when you make sense.
Did you just use the royal “we” or are you the spokesperson for a collective?
Here’s a link that might actually be beneficial to you’se: http://www.merriamwebster.com
Sorry, Jeff.
I was speaking on behalf of people who speak English.
I’ll try to type more slowly for you from here out.
ok, screen him… just in case of bombs, ya know
To all the CPAC delegates, watch out for who you go to bed with.
Remember, Takiyeh in the Koran, which means it is perfectly kosher to deceive non muslim (kafirs) as long as it meets the objective of Islam.
Prophet Mohamed have called Islam, a religion of Peace, but cuts off the head of the opponets, suicide bomb innocents & called it Jihad for the greater good of Islam.
It does not matter if it is Sunail Khan, FarahKhan, Saudi Khan, etc., you are going to get screwed if you are naive.
Based on your comment you read the Koran and show an unhealthy interest in Islamic teachings.
Next you’ll be wearing slippers and a cape made of goats hair.
Both parties are responsible for enabling the invasion of Islam’s of America – both parties.
If one stops and really thinks about it, the selling out Americans butt to the pederasts in beyond comprehension.
The is an excellent article about Lars Hedegaard in AT about his freedom of expression – or the lack thereof – trial in Denmark. Mr. Hedegaard’s final statement includes the following:
“My counsel has instructed me that in cases brought under Article 266b, the only thing that determines whether one is convicted or not is a matter of the perceived insult whereas one is barred from proving the truth of the statement.
“The article deals with public statements whereby a group of people are “threatened, insulted or degraded”. But as my lawyer has already noted, I have made no public statement.
“When it comes to Article 266b, there is no equality before the law. I am daily insulted and degraded by something I read or hear and I am sure that most people have the same experience.
“For example, I am not only insulted and degraded and threatened, but shaken to the core of my being when I hear a well known Danish imam state that, of course, sharia law – Muslim law – will be instituted as Denmark’s official legal regime when there are a sufficient number of Muslims. I strongly urge our country’s jurists to get acquainted with the implications of the sharia, not only for Muslims but equally for non-Muslims, who – if they are lucky – will be reduced to a life as subhuman outlaws. And if one cannot be bothered with tedious dissertations, one may take a look at the legal order pertaining in areas where the sharia holds sway either de jure or de facto. One will then encounter a legal order the like of which we have not known since the passing of the Law of Jutland in 1241 and probably not before.”
One is not allowed express facts in Europe anymore that might offend the Muslims. It’s coming to America in the speed of light.
Fock Muslims, Muhammad (POS) the child rapist and Allah. Sue me!
Be prepared to take your country back. Resists!
This is another excellent piece of information that should lead the drive to rid our government of anything and everything Islamic. Islam and the U.S. Constitution are not compatible and it is an abomination to have any Islamists in our WH. The lady that “advises” the POTUS should be the first to go…this is nothing short of treason.
Facts about Islam don’t seem to occupy the heads of those in the WH or the GOP to a great excent. In short: What Churchill said.
Kahn recently addressed our small, ‘Blue State’-based
group of conservative centrists. Watching him slime
his way out of blaming jihad (or even Muslims) for the
9-11 attacks was like watching a snake in peanut oil
(or maybe watching Whoopi Goldberg on “The View”).
They’ve had Grover Norquist as keynote speaker several
times as well. Hmmmm…maybe the’re not so “centrist”
after all.
Have you really spent time pouring peanut oil on a snake? Or is that from some risque video you saw on youtube?
These comments are getting really confusing.
There’s the guy who seems obsessed with Denmark, that historically libertine hub.
The other one who references a book from 1899. I wonder if it’s on google yet? And then tells us to take our country back from Sharia Law – but to wait until after it comes here and takes over (sounds inefficient, but that was 1899 I suppose).
And you and your peanut oil fetish.
Will wonders never cease. I miss the old CPAC conspiracy fringe. They, at least, stayed with one enemy – the Jews. It was such a simpler time.
Aw shucks Jeff…I only questioned Kahn himself face-to-face in a symposium setting (as did the other conservatives attending) and found him to be an evasive and slimy Sharia apogolist. Get your mind off the peanut oil and personal attacks and listen to people who know about this guy…that is, unless you’re just the leftist troll that you would appear to be.
Symposium settings are usually set up so that simplistic questions get to be asked in a time frame where a more fleshed out understanding cannot be explored.
It’d be like standing on a receiving line at an event and getting those few people who want to hold up the entire procession to engage in a 5 hour discussion.
I don’t quibble with your perceptions of the guy.
What I am concerned about is this irrational fear that Sharia Law will subvert the U.S. Constitution. I’m not really interested in Europe’s troubles in that regard because they are a bunch of toothless old Lords & Dutchesses I never respected in the first place.
Now I think the Constitution of these United States is much more resilient than some of the ones here engaging in histrionics. But then, I have stronger faith in America’s Manifest Destiny than you do if you think Khan is more than a gnat. That Islam is a mortal threat to our way of life.
Nothing will defeat this concept, this Republic.
I suppose I have more faith than you have perceptive capabilities if you think I appear as leftist. Which puts YOUR judgment & reason up for grabs.
Jeff
You are not making any sense.And in a few cases when you do, you you profess to know better than everybody what is dangerous to US and what is not.
That kind of certainty can be only found in some liberals or in fundamentalists.
I wonder, which of the above two are you?
btw. gnats can be dangerous to people who have allergies, and to people who like cleanliness. Particularly gnats who spread sharia.
I checked out your blog. Conservative? Hahaha! Troll on, my
young friend, Troll on…
To be believed, Kahn will have to renounce jihad. Even then he would deserve watching. Mohammed allowed lying and false pretenses to achieve Muslim objectives.
So I’m guessing you’re going to take the point on keeping an eye on him and reporting back.
Or, was that more along the lines of “I don’t really have the commitment to back up my fear with any actual work. Because work is hard.”
I know I’m not going to be the one watching him at CPAC. I have only gone to enjoy myself, not run around like secret agent man. Though I did hear that they will be handing out turbans and bedsheets so that everyone could then rush towards the Capitol and take over the government. Just a rumor I heard when I read what I typed.
Jeff
According to you fringe equals Christians, because otherwise why do you claim that “it’s kind of deceptive of Christians to act all “lovey dovey” with Israel”
****
I thought that it was only so-called liberals who equate fringe with the whole Christianity.
Why Does the American Conservative Union Welcome Suhail Khan?
needs a token Muslim?
and
the LEft has no monopoly on jewhate –err I mean anti-Zionism– err I mean “criticism of Israel”
note that once a Muslim defines you as his”oppressor” he may kill and destroy you with Koranic approval, in fact he is mandated to do so, as the Highest form of Jihad- guaranteed Heaven for it
and… the Reps have been more supportive than Dems on Israel but I do remember Condi echoing the mantra of the left- proclaiming Israel to be an “apartheid state” said out loud- she could relate to that b/c of her experience of slavery (laughable but true for the wealthy Secty of State)
You won’t hear about this outside the walls of a church, but if my nondenominational Bible College and ministerial training, as well as long chats with the old CPAC fringe, is to be accepted at face value…
Christians are to support Israel for one goal and one goal only. To help them be in a position to rebuild the Temple. It’s a precursor that must happen.
After the Temple is rebuilt, well, oops all the armies of the nations of the Earth converge on Israel with all the shooting of fire from locusts (helicopters) and such turning it all into one big wasteland.
And that’s when Jesus arrives to take Israel from the Jews and put his New Jerusalem down and converts everyone to Christianity.
So it’s kind of deceptive of Christians to act all “lovey dovey” with Israel as if they really cared about the long-term survival of that state.
Our “leaders” of the ruling class appear to have a blind spot when they look at Islam, starting with the absurd declaration by President Bush right after 9/11, that “Islam is peace”. Perhaps he could be forgiven for being ill-informed so soon after that attack, but it is now over 9 years later and we still hear those charged with our nation’s security parroting platitudinous nonsense about Islam, and about Jihad.
Last May, John O. Brennan, our learned Deputy Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor to President Obama, declared that jihad is nothing to worry about, just an internal struggle by a Muslim to become a better person (presumably by eating sprouts and avoiding trans-fats). This from a man whose 25 year CIA career included terms of service in the Middle East, and as CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia!
There is a basic set of facts, almost a syllogism, that can be conclusively verified from the original source documents of Islam: the Qu’ran, the Sira (Life of Mohammed), and the Hadith. All Muslim doctrine and jurisprudence derives from these three sources, and the Sharia – the Muslim code of law governing all aspects of human behavior from who’s in charge to cleaning your toes – was fully developed by 1000 years ago. Today’s Islamists are just following what their book says. The code of Sharia is available in an English language book, The Reliance of the Traveller (sic), for those brave enough to read it.
It says this:
· Islam must be spread by believers (Muslims) until all the earth is subjugated and submits to Allah.
· The means of spread is by jihad – fighting in the path of Allah – of which dawa or proselytization is one form.
· Treaties may be abrogated whenever it is advantageous to Islam.
A devout Muslim must:
Ø Lie (taqiyya) whenever necessary to defend Islam, or another Muslim, from unbelievers.
Ø Never say anything negative about another Muslim – even if is true.
Ø Never deny the truth of even one verse of the Qu’ran (apostasy, punishable by death).
Therefore, when a devout Muslim like Mr. Khan speaks, the only safe, secure and logically valid conclusion one can reach is that he is lying.
And Islam is not a religion. It is a theocratic totalitarian ideology for world domination.
In addition to The Grand Jihad, a new report by the Center for Security Policy lays out the whole problem in detail: Sharia: The Threat to America.
Its hard for me to find useful blogs nowdays but when i saw this i knew i was in the right place, I finally have time to clean up the house.lol Your a lifesaver.
Some people collect antiques for any challenge. They get a excitement out exploring what is to be found at any given thrift retail store, garage sale or home sale. They test themselves in being able to see the best bargains and the rarest items. Both that are key elements to attaining your goal in the antiques business.
