I said it at the Wilders event at CPAC 2009, and it is still an accurate observation: we live in such a cheap and tawdry age that all one needs to do to be a hero is tell the truth — and yet there are so few heroes.
That is indeed the case, and it means that Chris Gaubatz is something much greater than a hero. In our day when cowardice positively defines our political and media elites, Chris Gaubatz put his life on the line for the defense of free people and free societies against the global jihad and Islamic supremacism. As detailed in the breathtaking book Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that’s Conspiring to Islamize America, Chris assumed the identity of a convert to Islam. He secured a position as an intern in the Washington, DC, office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Hamas-linked pressure group that uses legal intimidation and a marionette mainstream media to dominate the discourse about Islam in the U.S., manipulate clueless government and law enforcement officials, obfuscate the role of Islamic doctrine in recruiting and motivating jihad terrorists, and resist anti-terror efforts.
Chris was in extreme danger. If he had been caught, there is no telling what might have happened — and as the book detailed, he had some extremely close calls, such as when CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper, “Honest Ibe” himself, told him to watch out for…Chris Gaubatz!
Muslim Mafia shows the fruits of Chris’s risky labors. He was able to secure a large number of internal CAIR documents, showing the group’s unsavory associations, connections to corrupt politicians (see the list of top recipients of Muslim cash on page 195), and more. This made CAIR so nervous that the group went to court to get the documents back — only to have them impounded by the FBI, which is finally investigating CAIR after years of working with the organization and ignoring its ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Buttressed with never-before-seen documentation, Muslim Mafia lays out the whole truth about the thugs and Islamic supremacists of CAIR, detailing how it has obstructed anti-terror efforts under the rubric of cooperating with authorities, co-opted Congressmen with cash, enabled the infiltration of Muslim Brotherhood operatives into high levels of government, and much more. It should be essential reading for every FBI agent and anti-terror analyst in the United States — and the fact that it isn’t only shows again how successful CAIR and its ilk have been in blunting the force of our defense against the global jihad.
Free citizens owe Chris Gaubatz an immense debt of gratitude. If we get through all this, he will stand as one of the heroes of the age — and as much more than a hero.
