The Muslim Brotherhood in America
Mike Scruggs
In 1979, Abdurahman Alamoudi immigrated to the United States from Eritrea, a small nation on the Red Sea, just north of Ethiopia. Eleven years later, he founded the American Muslim Council (AMC) with the help of the Muslim Brotherhood. He became a U.S. citizen in 1996. His involvement with nearly two-dozen other Muslim organizations in the U.S and Saudi financial resources soon thrust him into prominence as an influential spokesman for Muslim-Americans.
This was his entry into the Clinton administration. In 1995, he helped President Clinton and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) develop federal guidelines for “Religious Expression in Public Schools.” During 1995 and 1996. Alamoudi and 23 other Muslim leaders met with President Clinton and Vice President Gore on several occasions. Later, Hillary Clinton asked the AMC to help her create a guest list for a Ramadan dinner at the White House.
This led to Alamoudi taking the lead role in establishing a Muslim Chaplain Program for the Department of Defense. Subsequently, he became the final certifying authority for Muslim chaplains serving in the U.S. Armed Services. He retained this influential position until 1998. One of his appointed Chaplains, James Yee, was arrested in 2003 for supporting the jihadists imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Alamoudi's influence did not stop with the Clinton administration. In 1998, he provided $20,000 to help Republican Grover Norquist, the founder of Americans for Tax Reform,
establish the Islamic Free Market Institute (better known as the Islamic Institute or II). Norquist served as Chairman of the Board, while Alamoudi's chief deputy, Khaled Suffuri was made its Executive Director. The Islamic Institute thereafter quickly became a Muslim Brotherhood front organization. Despite Norquist's early reputation as a conservative, he has since distinguished himself as an advocate of amnesty for 12 million illegal immigrants.
As a further result of Alamoudi's connections to Muslim-Americans and his connections with the Islamic Free Market Institute, he and several other Muslim Brotherhood operatives were invited to meet with then Texas Governor George W. Bush in the governor's mansion. Suffuri was designated as Bush's Coordinator for Muslim outreach for the Bush presidential campaign of 2000.
Following the election, Suhail Khan, a member of the Islamic Institute's board of directors with many Muslim Brotherhood connections, was made the gatekeeper for the Muslim community and the White House Office of Public Liaison. This put the Muslim Brotherhood in a position of considerable influence in shaping the Bush administration's
understanding of the nature of Islam and U.S. defense and foreign policy following the
9/11 attacks on New York and the Pentagon in Washington.
In October 2000, however Alamoudi was filmed at an anti-Israel rally where his support for the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah was recorded. . In 2003, Alamoudi was arrested at the Heathrow Airport near London, carrying $340,000 given to him by Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi for the assassination of King Faud of Saudi Arabia and Jihad against the United States. Further investigation after his extradition to the United States revealed that he was a senior financier of al-Qaeda. He is now serving a 23-year prison sentence.
Following Alamoudi's sentencing, responsibility for the Muslim Chaplain selection and training was transferred to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)--the largest Muslim Brotherhood front in the United States. Khaled Saffuri was also active in Muslim-support operations is Bosnia and was a partner in Jack Abermoff's' firm that lobbied for Islamic banks. Although he claims innocence, Norquist's reputation was also damaged by the scandal. Abvermoff is now serving a prison sentence on criminal felony charges. Suhail Khan is presently the Senior Fellow for Muslim-Christian understanding at the Institute for Global Engagement. Although he has been a prominent member of the American Conservative Union, he and Norquist were recently accused by conservative activist Pamella Geller of close associations with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Suhail Khan, Grover Norquist, and his Kuwaiti born wife, Samah Norquist, were prominent advocates of building a mosque near 9/11 ground zero. In the Islamic Law doctrine of “Sacred Space” this would have been a symbol of Muslim dominance.
The Muslim Brotherhood is the most powerful Muslim political organization in the world. Its motto is “Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Koran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.” Their modern operating philosophy is often called “civilizational Jihad or stealth Jihad. They typically work by deception and subversion until they are strong enough to take power and enforce their dominance by the sword. Hamas and Islamic Jihad are two of their terrorist branches. They have also had considerable influence over al-Qaeda. Oil money, especially from Saudi Arabia, is one of their most powerful resources for propaganda, bribery, and corrupting political, civil, business, and church leaders.
The words of many American political and academic leaders indicate that their understanding of Islam is extremely flawed and heavily influenced by the deceptive practices of the Muslim Brotherhood's stealth Jihad. Anyone who calls Islam a religion of peace and tolerance has been terribly misled. Scores of Muslim Brotherhood front organizations, such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), are involved in promulgating this subversive propaganda campaign and providing financial support to Hamas.
You're quoting from a disgraced former FBI agent who resigned while under investigation for sleeping with "the key government witness in a major congressional corruption trial." And "other female FBI agents."
ReplyDeleteUmmm... Integrity issues?
I can quote cases where Muslims called police to turn in radicals who, lo and behold, turned out to be UNDERCOVER FBI PLANTS...
Yes, many Muslims are involved in terrorism.
But we were attacked by a bunch of Saudi's, not Iraqis or Afghanis... Don't you wonder why we didn't invade Saudi? Their Muslim clerics are just as "radical" as any in Yemen or Afghanistan.
There is a tremendous amount of money available for people who make a living saying "Muslims are the problem." I believe that John has jumped on the gravy train.
Either we figure something out, or we will be in an expensive, grinding war forever.
What does that former FBI agent want us to do? Expel Muslims? Does anyone dare address exactly why quite a few Muslims are so angry toward us?
Hint: it involves our support of a small nation located in the Middle East. The nation that just asked for $20 BILLION more dollars from us.
Have you read Pat Buchanan's latest column?
"We support the dictator in Yemen, the absolute monarch in Saudi Arabia, the king in Bahrain, the sultan in Oman and the emir in Kuwait, but back pro-democracy demonstrators in Iran, though there have been more elections in Iran than in all those other nations put together."
"You're quoting"
ReplyDeleteNot I, said the blind man, but Mike Scruggs. I read Buchanan's piece yesterday, as I remember.
My bad... I thought you were "Mike"...
ReplyDeleteI think we are concentrating on the wrong things in this war. I would pull our troops out of Iraq/Afghanistan, and put some on the Mexican border, which I feel is a more serious, pressing concern to America.
Our first priority should be drugs and illegals flooding our nation.
"Terrorism" is a problem best handled by international police and intelligence work. (And numerous black ops people killing bad guys far away.) It's not a "military" issue, ie, troops and tanks.
Why aren't we destroying poppy fields in Afghanistan? Because the people who grow it are "helping" us against the "Taliban." I think I'd rather we fight the heroin traffickers...
I agree completely. The war on drugs has been an abject failure.
