This is a couple of weeks old, but I don't recall anyone remarking upon it. Barack Obama's Muslim Outreach Coordinator, Mazen Asbahi, resigned under pressure in August after it was revealed that he was "a frequent speaker before several groups in the U.S. that scholars have associated with the Muslim Brotherhood."
The Muslim Brotherhood, of course, is engaged “in America [in] a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” — Mohamed Akram, “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America,” May 22, 1991
And now it turns out that Asbahi hasn't really quit at all.
"Muslim Outreach Proves A Tricky Issue For A Campaign Lauded As Multicultural," by Sean Higgins for Investor's Business Daily, August 25 (thanks to Diana West):
Key Aide Hasn't Really QuitLast month, his coordinator for Muslim outreach, Mazen Asbahi, a Chicago lawyer, quit after reports that he belonged to the board of an Islamic investment fund that included a radical imam.
Asbahi has not stopped working on behalf of Obama, though. He appeared at the luncheon to say that despite his official exit he was still "110%" behind Obama and that he was participating in campaign conference calls on Muslim outreach.
Stepping down was a "strategic decision," he told the audience. Asbahi declined to answer IBD questions clarifying his current role. [...]

In other words, he's another b.s.er

Why is it that I am not surprised.

Of course he hasn't quit - the jihad never ends.

Think Grover Norquist may have picked him up?

"Stepping down was a "strategic decision," he [Mazen Asbahi, former adviser and present supporter of Barack Obama] told the audience. Asbahi declined to answer IBD questions clarifying his current role."
-- from the article above
The phrase "strategic decision" calls to immediate mind the statement, made repeatedly by Mahmoud Abbas, that he, and the Slow Jihadists of Fatah, have "chosen peace as a strategic option." We all know what that means.

One more reason not to vote for Obamessiah.

The RESIGNATION is just TAQQYIAH Deception.
Actually, the only thing missing is an "official " Campaign Title for ASHAHI!
The danger is in WHAT he can do in the shadows now that he's NO LONGER OUT FRONT!

Not surprising given Obama's undying support of Islam and his hatred of the west and whites.
And consider this: if he keeps Muslim thug like this close by, imagine who he'd keep around once he got into power.

Talking with a fellow worker today he used the phrase "made man" in reference to Obama. This along with the inability for Obama to string two sentences together without a teleprompter give me the ability to connect the dots.
Although I don't believe he is a shill for the stealth jihad I don't doubt that unseen others are directing what he says or does not say. He is an empty shirt with a good baritone voice that patriots what he is told.
My guess is that his handlers are the naive, politically correct, miss guided, global warmed, rich elite left who will do anything to gain power. Once they have it they will throw a couple of bones to the proletariat like national health care.
The surprise will be stealth jihad. It will bite them when they least expect it. And they will not know what or how to deal with it and cave in to their demands.

Never trust a Muslim who will lie and use every trick to advance the Islamic Global Expanssion.
