Muslim Students Association: "the mother ship of all the Muslim Brotherhood front groups"

Here is a handy summary of why the MSA is not your average campus group, as you may have suspected by now. "Muslim Student Group a Gateway to Jihad?," by Erick Stakelbeck for CBN News, March 21 (thanks to all who sent this in):
...The MSA bills itself as a resource and support group, a place where Muslim students can network and help grow the association.
Terrorism expert Patrick Poole, however, told CBN News his investigation of the organization shows it's being used for another purpose.
"The Muslim Students Association has been a virtual terror factory," said Poole. "Time after time after time again, we see these terrorists -- and not just fringe members: these are MSA leaders, MSA presidents, MSA national presidents -- who've been implicated, charged and convicted in terrorist plots."
The roll call includes Anwar al-Awlaki, the al Qaeda cleric linked to terror plots from Fort Hood to Times Square and beyond.
Awlaki, now a target for assasination by the U.S. government, was president of the MSA at Colorado State University in the mid-1990s.
Then there is Ramy Zamzam. Before his conviction in Pakistan last year for attempting to join the Taliban and kill American troops, Zamzam was president of the MSA's Washington, D.C., council.
Omar Hammami, a leader of the al-Shabaab terrorist group in Somalia, is another MSA alum. He was once president of the group's chapter at the University of South Alabama.
And the list goes on.
Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was national president of the MSA during the 1980s, was al Qaeda's top fundraiser in America and is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence.
Radical Islam Incubator
The MSA is a supposedly "mainstream" group that has long operated on college campuses from coast to coast. Yet a 2007 New York Police Department report identified the organization as an "incubator" for Islamic radicalism.
Former FBI Special Agent John Guandolo told CBN News that the problem can be traced back to the group's roots in the Muslim Brotherhood -- a jihadist movement that seeks to establish Islamic Sharia law worldwide.
"The MSA serves as a recruitment tool to bring Muslims into the Brotherhood," Guandolo said. "Which was its original purpose: to evaluate Muslims and to bring them into the Brotherhood and to recruit non-Muslims into Islam as a dawa entity, giving them the call to Islam."
Guandolo worked on several major terrorism cases for the FBI. He calls the MSA the "focal point" for the Muslim Brotherhood in America.
"Their goal, both from their senior leaders, presidents of MSA's around the country, national leadership, is to implement Islamic government here in the United States," he explained. "And they say that."
Founded in 1963 at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, the MSA quickly spread to other campuses in the Midwest.
"There were really three leaders, three Iraqi guys: Jamal Barzinji, Ahmed Totonji, and Hisam Altalib, who really set it up, who are known, identified Muslim Brotherhood leaders," said Poole. "And from there, MSA became the mother ship of all the Muslim Brotherhood front groups."
Rabidly Anti-Israel
In 2004, the FBI uncovered an internal Muslim Brotherhood document in which a Brotherhood leader identified the MSA as one of "our organizations and the organizations of our friends."
Part of the MSA's on-campus strategy is to aggressively confront pro-Israel speakers.
The Muslim Students Union at the University of California-Irvine, an MSA affiliate, was suspended by the school after members repeatedly heckled Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren during a speech in 2010.

That video and recent coverage can be found here.

Another MSA member endorsed genocide against Jews in May 2010 during an exchange with conservative commentator David Horowitz at the University of California-Davis.
"I am a Jew," Horowitz said. "The head of Hezbollah has said that he hopes that we will gather in Israel so he doesn't have to hunt us down globally. For or against it?"
"For it," the MSA member answered firmly, in front of a stunned crowd....

Gee, that doesn't sound like the Pledge Of Alliance I learned in school. But I'm sure they're all good American citizens like Rep. Ellison gets all teary eyed about.

And anyway most Muslims are moderate doncha know, giving us all that wonderful multicultural enrichment our immigration loving politicians and liberal elites have promised - and they wouldn't lie to us would they?

We need to encourage our politicians to move to declare these groups as subversive groups that incite violence and anti-government activities. It would be a real coup-de-grace to find outstanding and irrefutable evidence (aka James O'Keefe style).

We need to see some pushback against all these concessions and the relentless jihad going on in America.

Stop Muslim Immigration for good. Selectively screen and allow only those with no ties to subversive and terror groups.

Focus on Immigration policies for our Northern and Southern Border and get those under control. Confront Mexican Cartels with Military force if necessary.

Remove ourselves from things like military action in Libya that we should not even be involved in.

Wrap up action in Iraq and bring forces home if we are done there,

Wrap up action in Afghanistan if we are done there, or at least take the damn gloves off and finish off Taliban.

Round up and remove all those Somolias that were brought over to the US under Obama's (and Bush's) failed repatriation policy.

Round up and remove all Saudi student's here on Visa's.

Remove any other threats like this Ghulen fellow. They are not citizens yet they are showing themselves to be dire threats to the US. He's on US soil so take care of him.

Start dismantling Mosques. Muslims will be allowed to practice their religion at home, but not in the mosque or in a social atmosphere that helps foster the notions of jihad. A version of the Bunce Directive. Make sure there is a law that effectively makes it illegal to practice political Islam in America. If you are caught pushing political Islam, you would be deported back to whatever Middle East country you came from or a country of your choice if you were born here. All Mosques would be converted to either churches, homeless shelters or even a BBQ restaurant for that matter.

That reference to the 'Mother Ship' reminded me of Rita X, who used to be an occasional caller to Rush Limbaugh's show

All true.

While I consider myself a left-winger and I prefer to lump Islam on the far right-wing of the political spectrum (for what its worth), the CBN report is an accurate portrayal of the desires of many Muslims around the world, both here in the US and abroad, and this is so because the sentiments reported on in the video are all to be found in the Quran and the supporting Sunnah/Hadeeth Islamic texts. And I say this as someone who A) doesn't exactly rely on the Christian Broadcast Network for my news, B) who spent several years living in Saudi Arabia, 3) who has read the Quran and innumerable Sunnah/Hadeeth texts, 4) who has lived in a Sharia state, and 5) who has spoken with countless Muslims regarding Islam, Shariah, Jihad, Jews, and all the rest.

While in Saudi Arabia I had many discussions with Saudis/Arabs/Muslims who largely all said the same thing: Jews need to be expelled from "Palestine", Judaism and Christianity need to be expelled from the "Peninsula" (many of whom defined the "Peninsula" to include Iraq, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Israel), and eventually Islam must dominate the entire world. The tactics for accomplishing this varied from Muslim to Muslim across the region, as well as the debate as to whether it should be attempted now or at some point in the future, but no-where did self-professed "real Muslims" disagree with the belief that it HAD TO HAPPEN at some point.

The bad news with non-Muslim Westerners is that many of them simply refuse to believe this - even when they hear it with their own ears - because they cannot conceive of people and entire cultures *actually* being so malicious or desiring of murder. The good news, conversely, is that many of them simply refuse to believe this - even when they hear it with their own ears - because they cannot conceive of people and entire cultures *actually* being so malicious or desiring of murder. That is to say: our non-Muslim culture has largely evolved out of its former eras of barbarism and remains far away from the well-packaged and seductive evils of Islam.

All those of us who are against Islam need to do throughout the non-Islamic world - and ultimately within the Islamic world as well - is to get people to understand that "true Muslims" take the murderous and genocidal elements of Islam very seriously and that all of it must be publicly critiqued, criticized, invalidated, rejected, overthrown and ultimately banished JUST AS our society has succeeded at doing against the twin evils of the KKK and NAZI ideologies.

We must not stop fighting against tyranny until all people of the world are free, especially all those who have the misfortune of being born into and under Islam.
