Under publicized
threat deep in White House
FBI:
Penetration by radical agents worse than thought
Infiltration
of the federal government by members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood is worse
than some have warned recently, says a former FBI special agent in Washington.
The agent
confirmed that at least three operatives of the Egypt-based Brotherhood – whose
credo is "Jihad is our way and death in the cause of Allah is our
dream" – have penetrated the Obama administration.
The shocking
charge was first leveled by Muslim reformer Tarek Fatah during a recent speech
in Toronto.
"When
someone says that there is penetration of jihadi Islamists within society, do
not dismiss it as some right-wing, xenophobic, racist rant," warned Fatah,
a Canadian journalist.
Fatah also
named "Dalia Mogahed, who writes (Obama's) speeches, who comes from the
Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt; and another
woman, an academic, (who) was appointed in that circle."
Former FBI
special agent John Guandolo says Obama's ties to agents for the Muslim
Brotherhood are even more extensive.
"The
level of penetration in the last three administrations is deep," he said.
"For this president, it even goes back to his campaign with Muslim
Brotherhood folks working with him then."
Equally alarming, the Brotherhood also has placed several operatives and sympathizers within key positions in Homeland Security and the U.S. military, notes Guandolo, a former Marine Corps officer.
The veteran
federal agent says such infiltration threatens national security, because the
U.S. leadership of the international Brotherhood has outlined a secret plan to
"destroy" the U.S. and other Western governments "from
within."
After the
9/11 attacks, he says the FBI discovered the plan written in Arabic among
documents seized from the basement of a prominent Brotherhood leader living in
a Washington suburb.
Guandolo says
the stated Muslim Brotherhood strategy for change "from within"
includes the installation of loyal Brothers into political office.
President
Obama's top Muslim ambassador, Rashad Hussain, has raised suspicions. He is U.S. special envoy to the Organization
of the Islamic Conference, a powerful international group headquartered in
Saudi Arabia and closely aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Before first
joining the White House as a lawyer, Hussain regularly spoke to Brotherhood
front groups and defended Brotherhood leaders like Sami al-Arian. Hussain at first denied defending the convicted
terrorist, claiming he was misquoted, but then recanted after Politico.com
produced a tape-recording of his remarks.
Recently, he
has been overseas encouraging devotion to Islam, including in terror hotspots
like Afghanistan. In fact, Hussain has
told Afghans the antidote to Islamic violence "is Islam itself."
"I am of
the opinion that one of the strongest tools that you can use to counter
radicalization and violent extremism is Islam itself, because Islam rejects
violent extremism," he said during a recent speech in Kabul.
Hussain, a
devout Muslim, says promotion of the Muslim faith is "key" to the
administration's strategy to turn Muslims away from violence.
"We see
that as one of the key elements of a strategy to address this type of
violence," he said.
The strategy
is at odds with what the co-chairmen of the 9/11 Commission recently
recommended in their follow-up report on homegrown terror, "Assessing the
Terrorist Threat: A Report of the
Bipartisan Policy Center's National Security Preparedness Group."
The study
found that Islam was motivating terrorists not just abroad, but inside
America's Muslim community. And it scolded U.S. leaders for pretending religion
is not a factor in growing violence.
Still,
Hussain insists: "When it comes to the problem of violent extremism, Islam
is not the problem."
Hussain
helped draft Obama's conciliatory Cairo speech to Muslims. Also helping with
the president's speeches and policies toward Muslims is Mogahed, whose
pro-Islamist statements have been posted on the Muslim Brotherhood's website,
ikhwanweb.com.
Obama
appointed the hijab-wearing Mogahed to the President's Advisory Council on
Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. On a British television program,
Islam Channel, Mogahed defended Shariah law, the barbaric Islamic legal code
that treats women as second-class citizens.
Muslim women
actually "associate gender justice or justice for women with Shariah compliance,"
she argued. "It is only a small fraction that associate Shariah with oppression
of women.”
She added
that Muslims should work to integrate Islamic law into public law.
Another
Brotherhood-tied figure influencing the White House is Azizah al-Hibri.
Obama this June appointed her to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom. A Muslim professor, al-Hibri is also the granddaughter of a sheik, who claims the Saudi criminal justice system is more moral than the American one because it accepts blood money from murderers.
Al-Hibri
herself has proclaimed: "Islamic fiqh
(law) is deeper and better than Western codes of law."
She served on the advisory board of the American Muslim Council and made joint appearances with its leader Abdurahman Alamoudi. Now defunct, the AMC was a front group for the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood, and Alamoudi was the Brotherhood's top leader in America. He is now behind bars as one of al-Qaida's top fundraisers in America.
Al-Hibri has
also made appearances at Islamic Society of North America conferences. The
Justice Department says ISNA is a Brotherhood front and recently named the
group an unindicted co-conspirator in a plot to provide material support to
Hamas terrorists.
Guandolo
identified several other Brotherhood-connected agents of influence – all of
whom are just as politically savvy and moderate sounding – who have worked
their way into government positions, including:
- Arif Alikhan, who was assistant Homeland Security
secretary for policy development and is now a distinguished visiting
professor of homeland security and counterterrorism at the National
Defense University.
- Syrian-born Kareem Shora, who is Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano's senior policy adviser.
- Navy Cmdr. Youssef Aboul-Enein and Jocelyne Cesari, a
Muslim convert who previously worked with Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal,
both of whom teach at colleges within the National Defense University.
Guandolo
blames the advances Brotherhood figures on political correctness and lax
vetting at government agencies. Even at
the FBI, he notes, an Iranian-born Muslim has taken over the agency's weapons
of mass destruction program.
Stung by
workplace discrimination lawsuits by Arab and Muslim employees, the FBI has
come under pressure to hire more Arab and Muslim agents and language
specialists and promote existing ones, while clearing them for higher security
levels, according the best-selling book “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret
Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America”.
The book
cites internal FBI records showing the agency has been sued by no fewer than 14
Arab and Muslim employees since 9/11. Some of the lawsuits have been solicited
or aided by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, another Muslim
Brotherhood front group. The FBI in 2008 cut off formal outreach with CAIR and
its branch offices.
"This is
happening as we remain silent. And I say that as a liberal Democrat who worked
and campaigned for Barack Obama," said Fatah, a Pakistan-born journalist
and activist who founded the moderate Muslim Canadian Congress to fight the
spread of "Islamofascism."
"Muslim
Mafia" also has prompted a lawsuit from CAIR over the acquisition by the
authors of CAIR documents.
In the lawsuit, CAIR, a self-described Muslim civil-rights group, does not defend itself against the book's claims, and the FBI has seized the CAIR material from the Washington law office of one of the attorneys for the authors. A previous filing in the case revealed a federal grand jury is INVESTIGATING CAIR for possible violation of laws that ban financial dealings with terrorist groups or countries under U.S. sanctions.
As WND REPORTED, CAIR's
complaint seeks to expunge all copies of "Muslim Mafia" in an
attempt, according to defense lawyers, to eliminate evidence that could lead to
criminal prosecution.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The CAIR legal attack on WND's author is far from over.
WND needs your help in supporting the defense of "Muslim Mafia"
co-author P. David Gaubatz, as well as his investigator son Chris, against
CAIR's lawsuit. The book's revelations have led to formal congressional demands
for three different federal investigations of CAIR. In the meantime, however,
someone has to defend these two courageous investigators who have, at great
personal risk, revealed so much about this dangerous group. Although WND has
procured the best First Amendment attorneys in the country for their defense,
we can't do it without your help. Please DONATE to WND’s legal defense fund now.
