The article below reports that a brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden’s bodyguard was arrested on terrorist-related charges after being fingered by an informant. How the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood (The Muslim Public Affairs Council, MPAC) and CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) reacted is a perfect illustration of “properly understanding the times,” as discussed in our Monday and Tuesday emails this week.
Did the MPAC and CAIR denounce the alleged activities of the man who was arrested? Of course not. Following their predictably worn-out script, these two organizations attacked the FBI and law enforcement authorities for “violating the trust” of Muslims by working with an informant who infiltrated a mosque. Here’s one sentence from MPAC’s response:
“Federal law enforcement cannot establish trust with American Muslim communities through meetings and townhall forums, while at the same time sending paid informants who instigate violent rhetoric in mosques.”Notice the insinuation, that the man arrested was “instigated” by a paid federal informant. The man arrested isn’t responsible — the “devil made him do it!” This is the same kind of response organizations like MPAC and CAIR make whenever a Muslim is arrested or suspected of terrorist-related activities. They attack law enforcement, or politicians, or groups and people they call “Islamophobic.”
They play the “offended victim” card, complaining that the latest action violates “trust” between Muslims and law enforcement. This is the same script Islamic militants and leaders have followed for years in Europe and Great Britain. Here’s what violates trust — Islamic organizations and spokespeople who refuse to acknowledge that there a lot of people in their community of faith who want to hurt America, kill Americans, and impose shariah law on America. Here’s what violates trust — Islamic organizations and spokespeople who claim perpetual victim status for Islamic radicals, and who claim that Americans are the aggressors, when in fact it is the radicals who are the aggressors and Americans are the victims.
We don’t see FBI informants and undercover criminal investigations inside churches and synagogues, and there’s an obvious reason why. If MPAC and CAIR are genuinely and sincerely concerned about “trust,” they would do well to stop attacking Americans and law enforcement and start denouncing the real violators of our trust – the radical Muslims in our midst who intend us harm.
But don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen. And that gives us an advantage – because we can predict with a high degree of accuracy what the Islamists will do next. Their “script” isn’t hard to read. We just have to expose them and refuse to play the role they’re trying to foist on us.
Listen to the language of [Socialist International], and realize that Obama uses the same cloaked messages.
I subscribe to Act! For America's email newsletter. "I founded ACT! for America," writes Brigitte Gabriel, "because Islamic militants have declared war on America. I know what this means. For years, I witnessed first-hand how brutally jihadists treat non-Muslims.
"We are in for the fight of our lives and we must ACT! - before it's too late."
Gabriel grew up in Lebanon--when it was a mostly Arab Christian nation, and she watched as the Islamicists took over and the Christians fled, though a few do still remain behind in their native land.
Gabriel is not the only author and/or activist writing and working against, not Islam, nor the Muslim people, but against Islamicism, the insidious fascism in the mindset and the world-view of a comparatively few Muslims who do not recognize human rights. They recognize only the inherent slavery of Muslims to Allah.
In the blog Death By 1000 Papercuts (DBKP), authors "LBG and pat" write: "Once again we find where the most innocent of innocents, children, are being victimized and exploited by those who protest the Israeli siege of Gaza.
"Now we find that children are being exploited by Palestinian supporters in Europe. During a pro-Palestinian rally in Brussels, children were rounded up in groups then forced to read slogans they clearly did not understand.
"Children were forced to carry banners and placards with messages of hate, while others were forced to wave flags of the terrorist organization of Hezbollah. Children were allowed to set fire to an Israeli flag then watched as adults stamped on it chanting “Allahu Akhbar”.
"The most shocking exploitation of the children: at the end of the “demonstration”, the children were forced to lie on the ground in a “die-in” symbolizing the children who had perished in Gaza. Yet how many children have died as the result of being used as “human shields”?"
Act!'s recent newspage contained a link to the blog "Atlas Shrugs", in which Pamela Geller writes: "Of all the clergy in America ..... why her? Obama invites Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood linked ISNA [Islamic Society of North America] to offer prayer at inauguration. ISNA was an unindicted co-conspirator in the same Hamas funding case that named CAIR [Council on American-Islamic Relations] as a Muslim Brotherhood group - in the same Brotherhood document that speaks of its goal of destroying Western civilization from within."
Who is this female clergy? "Ingrid Mattson, the first woman president of the Islamic Society of North America," at the National Cathedral, no less. This means she will be speaking to all the members of Congress, all the former Presidents, all of the Supreme Court Justices, anyone who is anyone in Washington, and to the entire world because these events are broadcast so we Americans--and the rest of the world, including Islam--can watch, also. AP
So the President of an American Organization linked to Hamas, the Islamic Brotherhood, and CAIR, has been invited to lead the new President's prayer service. Is Obama an appeaser, rather than a uniter? Keep reading.
In Act!'s newsletter, we read this: "Since we emailed you on Monday and Tuesday about Hamas’ abuse and exploitation of children, the number of views of the video we forwarded (showing Hamas treatment of children) more than doubled. After we sent out the petition launch on Tuesday, the number of views increased by more than 120,000 in less than 24 hours--our bandwidth usage on our website was higher on Tuesday than it’s ever been. Today, we have another video for you to view. You’ll see in greater depth and detail how Hamas is brainwashing children and preparing the next generation of jihadists. The more we in the West see how Hamas is operating, the more we will understand why Israel has no option but to vigorously defend itself."
As if to explain the importance of Mattson's appearance at the Cathedral, Act! continues: "We will also better understand why appeasement of such evil will never lead to peace, but only serves to embolden the radical Islamists whose ultimate goal is to impose their doctrines on the rest of us, by any means possible."
"By any means possible" in this case means being invited by Mr. Obama. Obama is an appeaser. He has actually brought together the left and the right wings of American politics, keeping a Republican Secretary of Defence, nominating other more-conservative-than-liberal people to his Cabinet, while bringing in one avowed Socialist, if not more.
This is not fence-building nor fence-mending. This is compromise, and not of methods or plans or other things that legitimate compromise allows for. This is compromise of the principles of individualism, and because Islamicists want to dominate the earth it is a clear violation of the separation of church and state.
"When president-elect Barack Obama appointed Carol Browner to be his "energy czar" back in December, the conservative blogosphere was buzzing about her being a member of Socialist International, 'the worldwide organisation of social democratic, socialist and labour parties.'
"At the time, she was fourth on the website's list of members in the 'Commission for a Sustainable World Society.'" NewsBusters
The Commission " has been established by Socialist International to articulate from the world of progressive politics a way forward to address global environmental concerns, climate change and the issues of governance required to deal with these common challenges."
Listen to the language of that, and realize that Obama uses the same cloaked messages. Never once did he ever admit to being a Marxist, but never once did he have to deny it because as far as I know no one ever asked him. Telling Joe the Plumber he wanted to "redistribute the wealth" was enough of a give-away, but he deftly managed to get around that thorny issue the way he is maneuvering about the Washington Beltway of politics.
The language is, first, that the Commission will "articulate from the world of progressive politics." "Articulate" used here is "cloak-speak" for "attempt to dictate, cajole, plead, embarrass, harass, and otherwise politically cage the world into progressive politics." Not from rational evidence-based science, but from progressive politics. Progressive itself is cloak-speak for collectivism.
How can I know this? The history of socialist language is full of such examples. The second example of such language is the Commission's statement that they "address global environmental concerns, climate change and the issues of governance required to deal with these common challenges."
Those issues are flatly stated as being progressive-politics oriented. Many of the members of Socialist International are center-left. If we were worried about a "New World Order" during the administration of Presidents Bush 41 and Clinton, we now are going to have Mrs. Clinton as our Secretary of State, Carol Browner as energy czar, and Mr. "redistribute the wealth" Obama as President.
I can't think of a game plan for a "new world order" of "progressive", i.e., socialist, politics than that plan.
An Associated Press report in suntimes.com said that "an attorney who volunteered to help Barack Obama improve his relationship with Muslim and Arab-Americans has resigned from the campaign amid questions about his connection to a fundamentalist imam. Mazen Asbahi...an associate at the Chicago law firm Schiff Hardin, said in his letter that he served on the board of the Dow Jones Islamic Index Fund for a few weeks, but resigned ‘'as I became aware of public allegations against another member of the board.'" [italics added]
An Obama advisor resigned because of allegations about someone else with whom he found himself serving? OMG. Someone in the Obama camp has scruples. Asbahi's resignation is not at all like the precedent set by the candidate himself after all the published and proven evidence of his connections with domestic terrorists, not only Bill Ayers but Acorn. [see Obama, Character, and American Exceptionalism and Inside Obama’s Acorn ]
Then there is the connection, now severed, with Obama's long-time minister Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. He also had an association with Frank Marshall Davis, identified only as Frank in Obama's memories "Dreams from My Father," a radical activist and journalist had been suspected of being a member of the Communist Party in the 1950s. Obama was introduced to "Frank" in 1970 at age 10. "In 1968, Davis published a hard-core pornographic autobiography under a pseudonym."
"During the the years that Ayers and Obama served on the board of the Woods Fund, [ ] they voted to donate $75,000 to the Arab American Action Network (AAAN), co-founded by Rashid Khalidi, a long time supporter of Palestinian 'resistance' attacks against Israel."
"He has been accused of being an influential apologist for Yasser Arafat. At the University of Illinois, Khaldi and Obama and Michelle Obama and also Ayers and Dohrn were part of the same circle. He funded a fund raiser for Obama in 2000 when Obama ran an unsuccessful campaign for the U. S. House of Representatives. Obama and Michelle were part of the farewell party for Khaldi when he left Chicago for New York." http://us-elections.suite101.com/article.cfm/obama_questionable_connections
The other board member causing Asbahi’s resignation was Jamal Said, imam at a fundamentalist-controlled mosque in Illinois. The Justice Department named Said as an unindicted co-conspirator in the racketeering trial last year of several alleged Hamas fundraisers.
Why is it that one of the few advisors to the Obama campaign who has been upfront, protecting his own integrity not to mention the Obama campaign, is a Muslim who does not wish to have his own "Obama-type mistakes" of association?
If there is not more to the story of the resignation of Mazen Asbahi than I have been able to discover, my hat is off to a patriotic Muslim American.

"Phillip Berg has filed a suit in Federal court. [Denver Dem Convention: Clinton Supporter Files to Disqualify Obama] The suit was against Barack Obama and the Democrat National Committee. It asked the court to force Obama to prove he was an American citizen. If you are Obama, what do you do?
"A. Provide the court with the three documents in question and go back to shaking hands, making promises and smiling for the cameras. B. Provide images of one of the documents to a friendly website to post, but not to the judge. C. Ignore the judge, then make a motion to dismiss the case, in lieu of providing the proof. D. In the meantime, quietly, post a notice at your website, FighttheSmears.com that you had dual citizenship with Kenya. E. Hire the top gun attorney from the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to fight the case. F. File a Joint Motion for Protective Order to Stay Discovery Pending a Decision on the Motion to Dismiss (which was) filed on 09/24/08, thereby putting the matter off until–hopefully–after the election.
I highlighted the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) because of the tough, disciplined, and principled arguments made against it for years by ACT! for America and others including many Senators and Congressmen and Women--because Obama's attorney works for a domestic terrorist organization. http://www.actforamerica.org/
"[T]he Islamway website originally operated from Canada until a series of articles was published by National Post reporter Stewart Bell just days before 9/11 exposing that the website published an 'invitation to jihad' and provided instructions on how to train at terrorist camps run by Al-Qaeda. Islamway was defended by the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which published several action alerts and press releases decrying the newspaper’s “tabloid journalism” and promoting Islamophobia, directing its supporters to besiege the paper’s editors to complain of the supposedly “anti-Muslim” bias of the reporter. The National Post reportedly received death threats during CAIR’s protest (again, which occurred less than two weeks before 9/11). The Royal Canadian Mounted Police initiated an investigation at the request of B’nai B’rith Canada, but the website relocated to the US, prompting authorities there to drop their inquiry."

Act! for America's very-outfront spokeswoman is Brigitte Gabriel. "Ms. Gabriel is a former news anchor for “World News”, the Arabic evening news broadcast for Middle East Television seen throughout Israel, Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon. She covered the Israeli withdrawal from Central Lebanon, the Israeli Security Zone and the Palestinian uprising in the West Bank and Gaza.

But Act! is not the only organization taking note of CAIR's radicalism in the U.S.
"Let there be no doubt that the Council on American-Islamic Relations is a terrorist supporting front organization that is partially funded by terrorists, founded by terrorists, and that CAIR wishes nothing more than the implementation of Sharia Law in America." Anti-CAIR http://www.anti-cair-net.org/
U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster: "Time and again [CAIR] has shown itself to be nothing more than an apologist for groups bent on the destruction of Israel and Islamic domination over the West."
Anti-CAIR says they "are a group of concerned Americans dedicated to eliminating the Islamist terrorist threat to the United States Constitution. "We believe that the Council on American-Islamic Relations, (CAIR), is a clear and present danger to our Constitution and our way of life. We will continue to expose CAIR's involvement in supporting Islamist terrorists, terrorist-sponsoring organizations and groups in the United States. (Founded April 2003)"
And this is the group that Obama has hired to defend him?
