Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

GOP leaders ignorant of Muslim Brotherhood’s American influence

Aug 1, 2012 3:50 pm By Robert Spencer

Over at Breitbart today, John Guandolo exposes the dangerous willful ignorance of McCain, Boehner, and the others who have criticized Michele Bachmann for calling for an investigation of Muslim Brotherhood influence in government:

It has been said that the
truth offends those who don’t have it. It would appear Senator John
McCain and Speaker John Boehner do not have the truth and the facts
showing the danger the Muslim Brotherhood’s Movement in America’s
government poses today. Americans should be very concerned about this.

In letters dated June 13,
2012, five Members of Congress — Representatives Michele Bachmann
(R-MN), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Tom Rooney (R-FL), Trent Franks (R-AZ),
and Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA) — requested that Inspector Generals from
the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice and State, as
well as the IG from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence,
investigate the penetration of senior Muslim Brotherhood operatives
into our national security decision-making apparatus in America. 

This is a reasonable request,
since a massive amount of factual evidence exists which specifically
identifies individuals and organizations which are a part of the Muslim
Brotherhood Movement in America directly involved in key positions
inside our security agencies. 

Yet, American political
leaders from both parties continue to disparage this request in personal
terms, giving clear indication they are completely ignorant of the
facts in this matter. The latest blast came from leaders in the GOP,
publicly defending a senior advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff to the
U.S. Secretary of State, Huma Abedin. This individual’s immediate family founded
a Muslim Brotherhood front group which, at a minimum, raises questions
about Abedin’s position inside the government. If her parents were in
leadership positions in organizations the U.S. government knew were
fronts for the KGB or Chinese Intelligence, we would not be having this
discussion. But because it is the Muslim Brotherhood, which many
American leaders have either coddled, worked with, or ignored, these
five Members of Congress who are abiding by their oaths of office and
asking for a legitimate investigation into this potentially damaging
espionage issue, are being attacked by Senator McCain and Speaker
Boehner. Shoot the messenger.  

As a point of reference, three years ago Congresswoman Sue Myrick (R-NC) called on the Department of Justice to brief all members of Congress on the implications of the US v. Holy Land Foundation
trial, which revealed many of the prominent Islamic organization in
America today, including the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA),
are a part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Jihad here. DOJ never fulfilled
this request.

Speaker Boehner said in
defense of Abedin, “From everything that I do know of her, she has a
sterling character. Accusations like this being thrown around are pretty
dangerous.” What is actually dangerous is that the Speaker of the U.S.
House of Representatives remains so grossly ignorant about a threat
inside our nation nearly eleven years after 9/11.  

For his part, Senator McCain
came to Abedin’s aide by saying that the comments made about her “rest
solely on a few unspecified and unsubstantiated associations of members
of Huma’s family.” This necessarily means that Mr. McCain did no study
at all of the facts of the matter, because they clearly and specifically
reveal the organizations in which her parents and family are involved
and their ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. He also criticized the
Congressional letter for lacking any “instance of an action, a decision
or a public position that Huma has taken while at the State Department
or as a member of then-Sen. Clinton’s staff that would lend credence to
the charge that she is promoting anti-American activities within our
government.” This will require a lengthier retort.

Are Senator McCain and Speaker Boehner aware of the following facts?

  • The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is the largest
    Muslim Brotherhood (MB) organization in North America, created to be the
    “nucleus” for the Islamic Movement, according to MB documents seized by the FBI in Annandale, Virginia in 2004.
  • Because of the evidence ISNA is a Brotherhood front, as well as
    the numerous financial documents detailing money going directly from
    ISNA and their banks to Hamas entities overseas, ISNA is an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest Hamas trial ever successfully prosecuted in U.S. history (US v. Holy Land Foundation), which was adjudicated in 2008 in Dallas, Texas.
  • When ISNA filed a motion with the federal court to have their
    name removed from the unindicted co-conspirator list, the government
    stated that ISNA exists to be a financial support entity for Hamas. The
    federal judge agreed stating the government provided “ample evidence”
    and left ISNA on the list. A three-judge appellate panel unanimously agreed and left ISNA on the unindicted co-conspirator list.
  • ISNA”s two key directors and its President, Mohamed Magid…, all work with Secretary Clinton and her office. So, the leaders of a Hamas-supporting entity are advising the U.S. Secretary of State.
