Obama quietly reveals that he met with Muslim leaders with ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood

Feb 6, 2015 6:06 pm By Robert Spencer

ObamanoteAfter closing his meeting with American Muslim leaders to the press and even keeping the guest list secret, Obama has finally revealed it, and it contains the usual suspects. Details interspersed below: “Obama quietly hands out names of Muslim leaders he met with privately,” by Dave Boyer, The Washington Times, February 6, 2015:

The White House has finally divulged the names of American Muslim leaders who met with President Obama this week, including Imam Mohamed Magid, who has advised the administration on formulating responses to incidents that Islamists consider offensive.

After stonewalling journalists for two days about the names of the participants at the meeting Wednesday, the White House quietly attached the list of attendees to the end of its daily press briefing transcript Thursday evening.

The guest list identified Imam Magid as a representative of the Adams Center, a large mosque in Sterling, Virginia. He has also served as president of the Islamic Society of North America, according to the group’s website.

Former FBI agent John Guandolo reported this in 2012: “The ADAMS Center is a Muslim Brotherhood front organization.  It was founded by some of the most senior Muslim Brothers in the United States, to include Ahmed Totanji, who still resides in Herndon, Virginia. Its website proclaims ‘[ADAMS] is a membership organization registered in the State of Virginia as a non-profit, tax exempt corporation and is affiliated with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).’ Imam Magid is the Executive Director of the ADAMS Center.  He is also the President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the largest Muslim Brotherhood organization in the U.S. which was found to be a financial support entity for Hamas in the largest terrorism financing and Hamas trial in U.S. history (US v Holy Land Foundation, Dallas, 2008).”

Imam Magid, a native of Sudan, has served on the Department of Homeland Security’s Countering Violent Extremism Working Group and has worked as an adviser to the White House National Security Council to formulate U.S. responses to appeal to moderate Muslims in the battle against Islamist extremists.

As is clear from its name, the Countering Violent Extremism Working Group is dedicated to denying and obfuscating the Islamic character of Islamic terrorism.

It was Mr. Obama’s first meeting with American Muslim leaders at the White House, coming at a time of renewed discussion about the threat of radicalization of Muslims in the West. The hourlong talk focused on civil rights, anti-Muslim bias, and extremism, according to participants.

The other attendees were Bilqis “Qisi” Abdul-Qaadir, director of women’s basketball operations at Indiana State University; Arshia Wajid, founder of American Muslim Health Professionals; comedian Dean Obeidallah;

The painfully unfunny “comedian” Dean Obeidallah is an energetic front man for the Islamic supremacist agenda of intimidating people into thinking it is “bigoted” to oppose jihad terror. He has spoken at events for the Hamas-linked terror organization the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and has made a “documentary” about “Islamophobia,” a word used to smear foes of jihad — see my questions to him here that he refused to answer.

Kameelah Rashad, founder of Muslim Wellness Foundation and Muslim chaplain at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia;

Kameelah Rashad was one of the proponents of the initiative to force the NYPD to scrap its surveillance of Muslim groups, even though that surveillance was legal and defended even by the hopeless dhimmi Mayor Bloomberg.

Diego Arancibia, board member and associate director of the Ta’leef Collective; Farhan Latif, chief operating officer and director of policy impact at the Institute of Policy and Understanding; Sherman Jackson, professor of religion and American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California; Azhar Azeez, president of the Islamic Society of North America;

As noted above, the Islamic Society of North America was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case, and has admitted ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Farhana Khera, president of Muslim Advocates;

Farhana Khera! On October 19, 2011, Farhana Khera wrote a letter to Barack Obama’s then-Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism and current CIA director John Brennan. It was signed by 57 organizations, including many with ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, such as Hamas-linked CAIR, Hamas-linked ISNA; the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA); Islamic Relief USA; the Muslim Brotherhood’s Muslim American Society (MAS); and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). The letter denounced U.S. government agencies “use of biased, false and highly offensive training materials about Muslims and Islam.” Ignoring the factual accuracy of the material about which they were complaining, the Muslim groups signing the letter demanded that the task force “purge all federal government training materials of biased materials”; “implement a mandatory re-training program for FBI agents, U.S. Army officers, and all federal, state and local law enforcement who have been subjected to biased training”; and more to ensure that only the message about Islam and jihad preferred by the signatories would get through to intelligence and law enforcement agents. (The letter, incidentally, named me specifically and demanded that I no longer train FBI agents.) Brennan immediately complied with all the demands, thus forbidding intelligence and law enforcements to understand the motives and goals of the jihadists.

Rahat Hussain, president of the Universal Muslim Association of America; Hoda Hawa, national policy adviser of the Muslim Public Affairs Council;

MPAC is widely regarded as a “moderate” Muslim organization, and has even sponsored a “National Anti-Terrorism Campaign” ostensibly dedicated to helping Muslims help law enforcement officials root jihad terrorists and their sympathizers out of Muslim communities in the U.S. Or at least that’s what the mainstream media assumed that the campaign was dedicated to doing; in reality, however, it was much less concerned with identifying jihadists within American Muslim communities than with shielding Muslims from uncomfortable attention from law enforcement. Also, MPAC’s Edina Lekovic was caught lying on national television by Steve Emerson, denying she was editor of a Muslim student publication that praised Osama bin Laden as a great mujahid. Emerson produced copies of the rag showing Lekovic’s name on the masthead as editor on the very same page on which the praise for Osama appeared.

Maya Berry, executive director of the Arab American Institute and Haroon Mokhtarzada, CEO of Webs.

Also at the meeting were Mr. Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, National Security Adviser Susan E. Rice and Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes.

The White House said Mr. Obama “reiterated his administration’s commitment to safeguarding civil rights through hate crimes prosecutions and civil enforcement actions” during the meeting, and also discussed countering the Islamic State “and other groups that commit horrific acts of violence, purportedly in the name of Islam.”

The president urged Muslim Americans “to remain civically engaged in their communities,” the White House said.

The Justice Department named ISNA in a court document as an unindicted co-conspirator with other “entities who are and/or were members of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood” during prosecution of a terrorist financing case in 2007 against the Holy Land Foundation, once the largest Muslim charity in the U.S.

A federal judge later ruled that the document should not have been revealed to the public. The ISNA has said that its inclusion in the charitable foundation’s list of unindicted co-conspirators amounted to guilt by association.

    How come congress does not question President’s meeting with the enemy? Or why not question the meeting of the enemy with the enemy in the WH using my tax dollars. Or where is the media on this? UNREAL!

      Congress already has enough dirt on him for impeachment or even prison. It is just a hunch, but I think congress is saving it all as a political Ace up their sleeve to get him to do what they want. Just a theory.

        It’s more likely that the powers that be have dirt on CONgress. My guess is quite a few of them are pedophiles, besides the usual corruption.

      Can his ‘office’ be questioned as to why he withheld the list of participants, and how/why he was forced to give that information? What about minutes of the meetings? Is there a joint security committee which can be allowed to read those minutes and then allow their publication, with only military/security details to be redacted? This wasn’t about security?

      Yes exactly! The press should be going nuts over this! This guy has no shame. In the midst of the threat, he invites the cover group of the threat over for discussions? How is he still president? Seriously, how?

    ISIS is the Obama legacy. He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq and squandered untold American Blood and Treasure. He will go down as the worst president since Carter. All of his decisions are suspect.

    Another report on this said they were told not to reveal what was said to them in the meeting. And it’s interesting….57 groups….much like the 57 countries of the oic …in the UN.

    If Whites or Christians had any groups named with such titles as these muslim groups do, there would be screams of racism and either the groups would have to include those who really didn’t fit the group, or the groups would have to be dissolved.

    But because islam is, I believe, that entity of Revelation 13, members who are for the installation of sharia in this country and everywhere around the earth, are viewed as special.
    Thankful to the True God not to be one of them. Glad to be “hated by the world” as Christ said (John 15:18).

    The President of the United States has secretive meetings with representatives of nazi Germany in the middle of WW2 and they advise his administration on how to make public statements on the nazi atrocities. What is the fate of that president and his administration?

    This should cost him his presidency.

      It should..but it won’t. No one has the guts to stand against him because they know he is the front man for the muslim brotherhood. That’s exactly why they get away with it. They are bullies and thugs…like dealing with the mafia.

    Let’s not get caught up concerning ourselves with what our adversary does nor whine about the what, who or why. We are free men so let us form our own brotherhood, the BCFW, the Brotherhood of Christians of the Free World. All free men or those under siege but seeking freedom can join. This brotherhood, based on Christian principles would become the most inclusive, the most powerful, the most dedicated and feared army the world has ever seen. All of what we see is an attempt to prevent a global alliance of all of us. Our adversaries fear us and yes, their spines shiver at the thought of such an alliance. All of us supporting each other, anywhere, everywhere, all the time.
    After all, It’s about time.

    Kudos to President Obama for at least attempting to protect these Moslem leaders from retribution and even murder by Infidel activists. The proof of this is that funny man Dean Obeidallah expressed to Barack during the meeting his grave concern with how fast Islamophobia is growing in America.

    This is brazen treason. To just do it under our eyes . . . Obama is actually assisting the enemy internally and externally. Surely Democratic law makers cannot continue to go down this road?

    The Sterling ADAMs Mosque actually teaches there is only one jihad, the spiritual one vs. the most popular, holy war. They also use a Canadian fatwa for house mortgages to get around usuary/interest proscriptions for its congregations; maybe like the terrorists fatwa shopping for sodomy permission in order to insert more explosives preflight. Go figure….

    So if Obama ( aka the Obamacus) claims that ISIS/ISIL has “nothing to do with Islam” , then why are all the members. adherents and recruits to ISIS MUSLIM ?
    Yes, MUSLIM ., as in ISLAMIC, as in followers of the Koran, that piece of drivel which was vomitted upon the world by that criminal POS called Mohammed.? (Piece of Shit Be Upon Him).

    Don’t all rational Americans understand that Obama is obfuscating and fronting for the Islamists ?
    He can go to Hell and i’m delighted that he will no longer be president of the US in about 700 days.
    The pernicious hightide of Islam int his country IS ABOUT TO RECEDE !

    CAIR and ISNA et al , your day has come and gone and you will be vanquished !

    What a frigging liar this atrocious joke of a President Obama i !

    As to the above comments as to why he continues to get away with corrupting the government of the US and fundamentally transforming America in a way that is detrimental to the US and the rest of the world, the 2 main reasons are the lack of an non-partisan investigative press (media) and an ultra partisan Democratic party that places partisan politics above the welfare of the country. THIS IS WHAT WE CALL IN OLD-FASHIONED TERMS….A RECIPE FOR DISASTER.
