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

Muslim Brotherhood launches its own U.S. political party

Apr 7, 2014 4:43 am By Robert Spencer

uscmo20143CAIR, MAS and their allied groups are so practiced in deception, and so many American voters are so ignorant and indifferent, that this group could gain real traction. Meanwhile, given that Muslims of various sects vote as blocs in Iraq and elsewhere, it is not hard to envision such a bloc emerging in the U.S., and ultimately transforming American politics. “Muslim Brotherhood Launches Own U.S. Political Party,” from Investor’s Business Daily, April 1 (thanks to Antony):

Islamofascism: With an eye toward the 2016 election, the radical Muslim Brotherhood has built the framework for a political party in America that seeks to turn Muslims into an Islamist voting bloc.

‘Muslim voters have the potential to be swing voters in 2016,” said Nihad Awad in launching the benign-sounding U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations, whose membership reads like a Who’s Who of Brotherhood front groups.

“We are aiming to bring more participation from the Muslim community.”

USCMO also aims to elect Islamists in Washington, with the ultimate objective of “institutionalizing policies” favorable to Islamists — that is, Shariah law.

This development bears careful monitoring in light of the U.S. Brotherhood’s recently exposed goal to wage a “civilization jihad” against America that explicitly calls for infiltrating the U.S. political system and “destroying (it) from within.”

The subversive plan was spelled out in hundreds of pages of founding archives that the FBI confiscated from a Brotherhood leader’s home in the Washington suburbs after 9/11.

Translated from Arabic, the secret documents listed a number of Brotherhood front organizations — some of which just happen to make up the newly formed USCMO.

Front and center is the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, the catalyst behind this Trojan horse jihadist political party.

CAIR is linked in federal criminal court documents to the terrorist group Hamas, the Brotherhood’s Palestinian branch. CAIR’s chief Awad, who announced the USCMO at the National Press Club, is so radioactive, the FBI refuses to do outreach with him and his so-called Muslim-rights group until it can “resolve whether there continues to be a connection between its executives and Hamas.”

Equally troubling is the Muslim American Society, another founding member of the USCMO. MAS was formed as “the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States,” a 2007 Justice Department court filing states. A 2011 MAS press release praised Osama bin Laden as “a visionary who believed in an Islamic state in Afghanistan.”

The list of bad actors doesn’t end there. The chairman of America’s new Islamist party is none other than Oussama Jammal, who once headed the notorious Bridgeview Mosque in Chicago.

One of that mosque’s leaders was arrested and jailed for funneling millions to Hamas. And one of its most honored guests was bin Laden’s spiritual mentor, the late Palestinian cleric Abdullah Azzam. Some of Azzam’s relatives are Bridgeview members.

“The walls were covered with Hamas posters and recruiting literature showing masked gunmen brandishing automatic weapons. . . . You could see daggers plunged into Jewish hearts wrapped up in American flags,” said Steve Emerson, describing the mosque in his book “American Jihad.” “They even had a library filled with terrorist videos.”

    From the people who brought you 9/11.

    If the Muslim Brotherhood never existed then 9/11 would never have happened. The Boston Bombing would never have happened.

    A vote for USCMO is a vote for Al Quada.

    The NSA and the FBI will be paying attention to anyone who votes for USCMO for potential ties to terrorism…

    They are harboring a known war criminal. He’s wanted for his participation in massacres of intellectuals Bangladesh in order to deprive the newly free country of it’s leadership.

    I look forward to seeing them humiliated in public, providing the right questions are asked. Watch for some hilarious ducking and diving. In order for Islam to be put in its place, it has to expose itself publicly first. This is an excellent opportunity to expose them even more……

      Well, don’t hurt yourself looking around, cuz nobody will ask them tough questions. To do that would be to be branded as a racist Islamophobe, thus ending the journalist’s career. And besides, deep down all the journalists are sympathetic to Moslems, much in the way they are to Barack Hussein.

        Hello Alarmed —

        I have to agree with Peter about likely tough questioning. although you are right that the tendency of Leftist candy-ass “journalists” is to toe the don’t-offend-believers line….

        But, thankfully, when someone declares that a political party has been created, we Americans turn on the shredder at press conferences of those parties.

        And, of course, “candidates” must appear for interviews; FOX News will probably be first in the queue for requests. The astonishing Megyn Kelly is already sharpening her claws over this yummy announcement.

        My friends and I will even get credentials myself and relentlessly pursue them !!! Great sport, doncha know… Finally, a worthwhile way to spend my money.

        Here is a message directly to Nihad Awad of USCMO, because every CAIR lackey reads every post by Spencer here at JW : Mr. Awad, you and your peanut- brain traitor associates f*cked up big time on this move. Wait and see….

        • Brian Hoff says

          Apr 7, 2014 at 10:13 am

    • E. Alexandra Pierce says

      Apr 8, 2014 at 6:25 am

      Agreed. They’re setting themselves up for real scrutiny, and I don’t think the press will toss them softball questions for long. There’s been a growing unease in the left in recent years. Fewer of them take the “Islamophobia” canard seriously, and Islamist disdain for womens’ rights, gay rights, etc. nips at their consciences. A political party is their opportunity to criticize Islamism without the burden of feeling like they’re discriminating against a religion. As soon as the MB party starts pushing for things that violate human rights, I bet that a significant portion of the left will pounce.

      • BonniePrinceCharlie says

        Apr 8, 2014 at 8:46 am

        Well, they’ve been tossing President Obama softball questions for years and tugging their forelocks at his replies – Fox excluded – so why should this be any different? After all, they’ve been silent about the execution of homosexuals, the stoning to death of ‘adulteresses’, the paedophilic marriages and a whole host of other abuses of human rights commonly found in Muslim/Arab countries.

    CAIR and its associated front groups are merely the Egyptian Nazi party in the USA.

    Americans need to learn the true identities of these people who disguise themselves a friends while plotting to subvert the American constitution.

    Where are the ‘moderate’ Muslims? Three videos reveal the answer:

    A small minority of extremists or a MAJORITY in favor of jihad?

    Immigration jihad…Immigrate in large numbers, multiply like rabbits, capture the vote, take over. The MB political party is the ‘capture the vote’ phase. Taking over is just a breath away, Allah willing, and he always is.

    Apr 7, 2014 at 6:59 am

    When anyone asks me what I know about CAIR (besides the “unindicted co-conspirators” label from the “HolyLand Foundation” trial) is how obviously incompatible the two components of their name are, as America and Islam really are distinctly diffeent.

    Is this so surprising? If you had said a decade ago that I’d have al-Jazeera on my TV in 2013, I’d a told you that you were crazy.

    Notice that their efforts are focused on the key transmission media of opinion programming: TV stations, professorships, school boards, judgeships, bureaucratic positions… each a medium of sending the new reality into the brains and pocketbooks of unwary Infidels.

    if dozens of countries consider these people and their organizations to be terrorist groups or at the very least hate groups, why are they allowed to legally form anything….I know the answer, just typing it made me feel sane.

    Politics is about Name Recognition
    Why not use the widely known “MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD name?
    The so-called new and improved Muslim Brotherhood received gushing reviews in the Western liberal media. NPR even gave the MB a whole new makeover just before the build up to Morsi’s ‘election’ to office. Surely they couldn’t have messed up all the hype and fawning PR. Maybe the decades of ugly terrorist activity are showing through the carefully applied make-up.

    (U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations)
    It sounds so official almost, as if it were a branch of the US government
    Surely the Obama administration wouldn’t actually go so far as to bring the Muslim Brotherhood into his administration?

    You think they knew the anagram of their new organization is SCUM-O?

    • jihad3tracker says

      Apr 7, 2014 at 11:43 am

      Jack, having its letters re-arranged into SCUM-O is the least of USMCO’s upcoming problems…

      The mid-March “press conference” is up at YouTube — attended by about 4 reporters. And the first question (around 25 minutes into the event) — “Why are there no women here as members of your organization?”

      Then comes the usual song-and-dance bullcrap baloney about looking for women to come on board… As Robert Spencer has written so many times, with Muslims it’s always “in the future we hope to find”.

      Google obvious keyword sequences like “USMCO press conference CAIR”.

      And, a hilarious remark near the beginning (7:05) — “Islam is not, as you know, an organized religion, but Muslims are organized.”

      I KID YOU NOT — THAT WAS ACTUALLY SAID ABOUT THE PLANET’S MOST COMPULSIVE TOTALITARIAN BELIEF SYSTEM !!!!!!

      • jihad3tracker says

        Apr 7, 2014 at 12:21 pm

        A slight correction : the remark about Islam not being “organized” was made at 6:07 into the video…

        Here is a hotlink (if it will post correctly — cross your fingers) :

      • Jack Diamond says

        Apr 7, 2014 at 12:47 pm

        I admire your fortitude in watching it. The only comment of interest was the fellow from American Muslims for Palestine:

        “We also want to ward off the evils of bigotry and Islamophobia and begin to define ourselves instead of allowing others who don’t understand us who fear us and even hate us tell us how we should live and worship in this country… taking our rightful place in public discourse..can only enrich American foreign policy and enrich our domestic policy…we look at ourselves as a bridge between the United States, as American Muslims, and between the Muslim world.”

        That’s more like the real tone of belligerence and allegiance with the greater “Muslim world” you can expect. The Muslim Brotherhood and all affiliates (including its mosques) need to be designated a “terrorist entity” –just like Hamas, the MB in Palestine, is– and extricated from this country.

          Didn’t say it was going to happen anytime soon. The Brotherhood has friends in high places.

          There are, however, ample legal grounds for nailing the MB (the provisions include “subgroups” so would include its offshoots) for providing material support to a “terrorist organization” or “even a single member” (Patriot Act/Real ID act of 2005). In 2006 for instance, a Jamaat e Islami charity sent the equivalent of $99,000 to Khaled Mashal, head of Hamas. The charity’s top donors listed as ICNA Relief USA and ICNA Relief Canada– Islamic Circle of North America, aka the Muslim Brotherhood. There would be many such examples were there a genuine interest in investigating them.

          Really, what poll shows 75-80% of Americans believe their govt. was behind 9/11? Maybe a poll of Muslims. Maybe a poll in Hollywood. Not America.

    Yes, by all means go ahead and try having squads of moral police go up and down here in Southern California. In my city a few years ago 2 teens were gunned down in the eating section patio of Der Wienerscnitzel at noon by gang bangers so life expectancy of a moral police squad…….I give it one weekend then the chalk outlines will be drawn all over the place.

    • jihad3tracker says

      Apr 7, 2014 at 4:18 pm

      Jay — I am not sure whom you consider to be “moral police” … Can you expand on your post above, please ?

      • Jay says

        Apr 7, 2014 at 5:01 pm

        Those of the Islamic faith who take it upon themselves or are organized to walk the streets enforcing Sharia code upon those they see who violate or offend said code. Well, instead of my pseudo definition you can always take the description right out of the mouth of one of the leaders of the newly formed one over in Egypt – A new informal police force has been launched in Cairo, to ensure Islamic morals are adhered to. The Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice denies it is linked to Saudi’s dreaded morality police, which share the same name.
        Islamic Cleric Hisham el-Ashri, founder of Egypt’s newly launched Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, stated the morality police will only use “non-violent methods” to implement the moral principles of Islam, the IB Times reported.
        El-Ashri said: “We will only offer advice to those who want to listen. We shall have no business with people who refuse to listen to us.”
        In spite of el-Ashri’s declarations of non-violence the Salafist morality enforcers will carry canes to beat violaters. According to Bikya News they will be provided with electric tasers at some point in the future.

        If a more expansive description is still needed one can always eat a ham sandwich in front of said members of a morality good squad as in France – A 23-year-old
        man filed a complaint on the 8th of June after having been attacked the
        previous evening at 9.30 pm in a city tramway by two strangers. They
        struck him several times on the face because he was eating a ham
        sandwich. The two attackers, who claimed to be Muslims, said they were offended
        by this consumption of pork in front of their eyes before attacking the
        young man. A witness, a friend of the young man who was present when
        the incident occurred, has been interviewed by the investigators and has
        confirmed the reality of the attack. The two attackers, who fled, have
        not yet been found. The CCTV tapes in the tramway are currently being
        examined.
        Just as I would never have thought cabbies would be denying rides to those with alchohol or clerks refusing to ring up purchases of pork at the supermarkets I would caution the introduction of moral police squads should not be laughed off so quickly.

    Like the OIC which fancies itself the new Caliphate, this group is electing itself as the collective voice of American Muslims, as so stated on their website:

    “MUSLIMS ARE DIVINELY directed to help one another to
    all that is righteous, in love of God. This captures the purpose of the US Council of Muslim Organizations: To unite Muslims, their leaderships, and their organizations on a mutual platform of equals dedicated to the common cause of pleasing God by serving His creation. How?

    By coordinating the efforts of Muslim organizations to make our striving coherent and work effective
    By inspiriting (sic) Muslims to give priority to the collective American Muslim community over single institutions, groups, or personalities
    By bridging the gap between national and local leaderships
    By educating local mosque leaders in the efficacy of a national Muslim platform and motivating imams and board presidents to support a national agenda for the entire Muslim community
    By minimizing redundancy among Muslim organizations in favor of mutual participation for community-wide efforts and signature support of common issues
    By facilitating grassroots issue-by-issue construction of a policy platform that culminates in a national agenda for the American Muslim community
    By identifying cooperative projects across the community of American Muslim organizations based on issues of consensus

    Unite and bring your intentions to life!”

    Since we all know how Muslims have been “divinely directed” and what Islam considers “righteous” and what is considered “pleasing” to God (even the use of the word “striving” i.e. jihad in the agenda is no accident) nothing is left to the imagination. The Islamofascist Party of America is born.

      There was only 88 case of voter faud out of over 100,000,000 people vote in 2008 presidental election so voter faud isnot than big polblen in america exspect for the GOP who want to take away people who vote democrate right to vote. The GOP in my opion could be ban permanent as than political party since they are anti-people party. One half of the voter faud cases in 2008 where drop bty DA in as they where elder people who simple forgot they voter ealy in the day no faud was the motive in those 44 cased. The over 44 cases where fround not guiely by the court of law.

He lost by 4000 votes and there was no voter faud fround no need to recount the vote. Busk stole the election in 2001 Gore won Flodia the SCUS could be shame of itself for doing voter faud.
