Muslim Brotherhood Gaining Foothold in U.S. Gov’t?
By Erick Stakelbeck – “WASHINGTON — They were the first modern terrorists and the forerunner of al Qaeda. But these days, the Muslim Brotherhood is becoming mainstream not only in Egypt, but in Washington, D.C.
While the final chapter of the so-called Arab Spring has yet to be written, it appears that radical Islamic forces could emerge as the big winners. None more so than the Muslim Brotherhood.
In Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria and Jordan, the Brotherhood has used unrest to increase its influence.
The group is also making inroads closer to home, according to one expert.
‘Their goal is primarily deception, manipulation and intelligence gathering,’ former FBI Special Agent John Guandolo said.
Guandolo said Brotherhood operatives have infiltrated the halls of power in Washington, D.C.
‘What we’re seeing not just inside the White House, but inside the government entities, the national security entities, the State Department — is a strong push by the Muslim Brotherhood to get their people not just into operational positions, but policy positions — deeper, long term, bureaucratic positions,’ he told CBN News.
Chief among their operatives is the Islamic Society of North America or ISNA, according to Guandolo.
In 2007, ISNA was named as an un-indicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in American history.
Likewise, the FBI has uncovered internal Muslim Brotherhood documents naming ISNA as ‘one of our organizations and the organizations of our friends.'” Read more.
Three Muslim Brotherhood members employed by the White House, influencing policies of President Obama – “Rashad Hussain is Obama’s special envoy to the 52-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference. His background is entrenched in the Muslim Brotherhood… Dalia Mogahed is a speech writer and chief advisor on Islamic affairs for Barack Obama. Numerous sites provide information that show Ms. Mogahed is pro-Sharia and deeply entrenched with the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot, Muslim American Society… Azizah al-Hibri was appointed by the president to the Commission on International Religious Freedom. She is an intellectual professor and lawyer who defends Islamic law. She once served on the advisory board for Mohammed Alamoudi of the American Muslim Council, defending Alamoudi even after he made public statements supporting terrorism.” Read more.
Flashback: U.S. to Resume Formal Muslim Brotherhood Contacts – “The United States has decided to resume formal contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, a senior U.S. official said on Wednesday, in a step that reflects the Islamist group’s growing political weight but that is almost certain to upset Israel and its U.S. backers.‘The political landscape in Egypt has changed, and is changing,’ said the senior official …” Read more.
9/11 – What a Difference a Decade Makes
By Shari Goodman – “It was only a short ten years ago that we in America suffered the worst terror attack upon our soil. Nineteen Islamists murdered 3000 Americans that day. The murderers were following Quranic verse (2:191-193) ‘And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution (of Muslims) is worse than slaughter (of non-believers)….but if desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.’ This verse is just one of over a hundred verses that command Allah’s followers to wage war upon the unbelievers.
Since 9/11 there have been over 17,000 Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide with over 30 attacks here at home. While the fear of terrorism continues there is another stealth civilizational jihad that is taking place under our radar that is much more insidious and perhaps far more dangerous. The Muslim Brotherhood under the guise of dozens of Islamic civil rights groups have infiltrated all of our major institutions from education, textbooks, law enforcement, our judicial system, the media, the military, Homeland Security, the State Department, Congress, and even the White House. Their goal is to transform our Constitutional Republic to a Sharia compliant Caliphate as stated in a 1991 strategy paper for the Brotherhood found in the Virginia home of an un-indicted co-conspirator and presented as evidence during the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terror-funding case in U.S. history.
‘The Ikhwan (another word for Brotherhood) must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.’
A decade later they have succeeded far beyond most Americans’ imagination. In Dearborn, Michigan and Philadelphia Americans have been arrested for preaching the gospel on public sidewalks because it offends Muslim sensibilities. In Minneapolis, Somali taxi drivers refuse to transport anyone with a dog or alcohol because it too offends their Muslim sensibilities. Footbaths and prayer rooms have been installed at numerous American universities and airports to accommodate an increasing Muslim population. In Toronto, regular Islamic prayer led by an Imam is permitted within a public school and the cities of San Diego, Dallas, Dearborn, and New York have instituted recess time during the school day for Islamic prayer.
Particularly troubling are the 50 appellate court cases in 23 states which involved a conflict between Sharia Law and our American state laws that were adjudicated in favor of Sharia. Muslim women and children involved in these cases were seeking equal protection under our laws, but were denied their rights when Sharia was applied.” Read more.
9/11 Anniversary: Muslim Protesters Burn US flag Outside Embassy in London, ‘You Will Always Face Suffering’
By Andy Bloxham – “A number of radical Islamic groups including Muslims Against Crusades (MAC) gathered outside the embassy on the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
The group of around 100 men shouted ‘USA terrorists’, brandished anti-American placards and chanted through a loudhailer.
Several members of the Muslim groups made anti-American speeches following the flag burning.
One said: ‘You will always face suffering, you will always face humiliation, unless you withdraw your troops from Muslim lands.’
Another declared that America had been ‘defeated in Iraq and defeated in Afghanistan’.
Members of the group publicly burned a poppy on Armistice Day in a similar stunt.
However, a small opposing group of Muslims – some of whom had travelled hundreds of miles to rebut the extremists – staged a counter-demonstration nearby, holding up placards reading ‘Muslims Against Extremism’ and ‘If You Want Sharia, Move To Saudi’.
Abdul Sallam, 41, who was waving a sign that read ‘Keep The Silence’, travelled down to London from his home in Glasgow to show the strength of his feelings.
He said: ‘I’m a Muslim. What they’re doing is bringing shame on all Muslims. This is not part of the teachings of Islam.’
‘Islam teaches you that when you see anything bad or evil, you should speak out against it.'” Read more.
It is commendable when other Muslims begin speaking out against the extremists in their midst. This needs to happen more often. I only wonder if, according to their belief that Islam teaches they should speak against anything ‘bad or evil’, if they also have the courage to speak out against the many hateful verses toward Jews and Christians, or the calls to wage bloody Jihad against the ‘kaffir’, or the justification for the oppressive treatment of women, or the barbaric punishments promoted by Sharia Law contained within both the Qur’an and Hadith? …
Ground Zero Mosque Imam Speaks Against Free Speech: Being Critical of Other People’s Religious Beliefs Should Not Be A Right
Apparently the US Constitution isn’t so compatible with Sharia Law after all. What Imam Feisal Rauf is getting at when he says that “other’s religious beliefs” should not be “insulted or mocked” is this: In America no one should be allowed to criticize or disagree with Islam. If he truly believes that speaking not-so-glowingly about another person’s religious beliefs should be classified as “libel”, then he might want to think about rewriting large portions of the Muslim ‘holy book’. In the Qur’an, for example, Muslims in heaven will entertain themselves by looking down on misguided non-Muslims in hell such as Jews and Christians, mocking them in their cursed torment …
Qur’an 7:44, “The Companions of the Garden will call out to the Companions of the Fire: ‘We have indeed found the promises of our Lord to us true: Have you also found Your Lord’s promises true?’ They shall say, ‘Yes’; but a crier shall proclaim between them: ‘The curse of Allah is on the wrong-doers'”
Qur’an 3:85, “And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers [because he is in hell].”
Qur’an 5:5, “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
By Andrea Lafferty – “There is nothing that strikes deeper at the heart of the American experiment than a test of our liberties — the right to free speech, and the right of religious freedom. It was because of these liberties that Islamist terror struck on September 11th, 2011, costing thousands of lives and bringing the realities of the world a bit closer to home.
10 years later, the Islamist threat remains.
Yet the tactics have changed. Rather than planes, Islamists use mosques as nerve centers for resistance. Rather than terrorists, Islamists use imams and lawyers to drive the point home. Rather than bombs, Islamists use deceit and deception to say one thing while the realities on the ground are far different.” Read more.
Radical Islamic Group: We Will ‘Make As Much Noise As Possible’ During 9/11 Moment of Silence
Despicable. Britain should pass a law right now making it illegal to ‘make noise during the 9/11 moment of silence’, but then again, this is Britain where Islamists are allowed to hate and incite all they wish to their perverted heart’s content …
By Billy Hallowell – “On the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a radical Islamic group hopes to ‘expose the crimes of the American government,’ while showcasing its opinion that the U.S. has lost its battle against terrorism.
The group, Muslims Against Crusades (MAC), plans to purposefully disrupt a commemorative 9/11 ceremony. Participants pledge to make as much noise as possible during a planned moment of silence that will be held outside the U.S. Embassy of London next weekend.
The group will be joined by another radical enterprise — Sharia 4 America. According to Beliefnet, MAC ‘…calls the 19 hijackers ‘martyrs.’’ The group’s spokesperson, Anjem Choudary, says:
“We will be holding a big demonstration and it’s going to begin at the time the first plane hit the building – when everybody is holding their minute’s silence.
“We will be very noisy during that time. It will be to expose the crimes of the American government over the past ten years and showing how they have failed.
He continued:
“They have lost the war against terror. All of their concepts of freedom and democracy have been run roughshod over and been replaced with extraordinary rendition and policies which mean people don’t have rights any more.”
The demonstration is called, ‘You Lost the War.’ A release, posted on MAC’s web site, takes a swipe at the mounting U.S. debt. It reads:
With over $14 trillion in debt the US economy is now on a life support machine; its military is caught in a gruelling war of attrition that the majority of analysts regard as unwinnable; on all fronts the US government is indeed facing defeat as the daunting spectre of death draws closer and closer.”
The ‘Truthophobes’: Western Defenders of Sharia Present It As Nothing More Than a Benevolent Moral Code, Islamic Scholars Say Otherwise
By Joseph Klein – “The far Left George Soros-funded Center for American Progress (CAP) has been busy of late trying to ‘expose’ those evil hatemongering ‘Islamophobes’ and their enablers who have the audacity to tell the truth about Sharia law and Islamic ideology. CAP’s most recent publication in this regard is entitled ‘Fear, Inc.,’ which claims that a ‘small, tightly networked group of misinformation experts’ has been ‘spreading myths and lies about Islam.’
The uncredentialed authors of ‘Fear, Inc.’ – all part of the Center for American Progress rather than outside experts on Islam – are truthophobes. They seek, in their words, to ‘marginalize’ such people as Nonie Darwish, a woman raised as a Muslim who lived in Egypt under the yoke of Sharia law for thirty years and has provided first-hand accounts of its brutality.
Other articles on this site have already demonstrated the shoddiness, illogic and outright untruths permeating ‘Fear, Inc.’ I am not going to repeat the obvious. Instead, I want to focus on what one of the world’s leading Islamic scholars says about Sharia law, which is far closer to how the so-called Islamophobes who are the targets of CAP’s invective describe Sharia than to the CAP authors’ idealized version.
In ‘Fear, Inc.,’ the authors describe Sharia as nothing more than the ‘Muslim religious code,’ focusing on ‘charitable giving, prayer, and honoring one’s parents—precepts virtually identical to those of Christianity and Judaism.’
In a previous CAP publication entitled ‘Understanding Sharia Law Conservatives’ Skewed Interpretation Needs Debunking,’ written by two of the same Center for American Progress authors who participated in writing ‘Fear, Inc.,’ Sharia is described as ‘personal religious law and moral guidance for the vast majority of Muslims.’ The ‘core values’ of Sharia, say the authors, are ‘theological and ethical and not political’ and are ‘in harmony with the core values at the heart of America.’
To see if this benign characterization of Sharia can possibly be true, I consulted the writings of one of the most prominent Muslim scholars in the world today, Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. He is listed as fourteenth out of 500 of the world’s influential Muslim figures, according to the most recent study released by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Center and the Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University.” Read more.

Sharia Creep in the UK: Muslims Demand Sharia Student Loans Because Paying Interest Goes Against Islamic Law
If Muslim students desire interest-free student loans, maybe they’d be best served by studying in Saudi Arabia instead. Or Yemen. Or Iran. Or Afghanistan. Or Pakistan. Or any one of many Islamic countries that practices Sharia Law. If the UK placates and begins giving Muslim students interest-free loans because it ‘goes against Islamic law’, then other Muslims will begin asking for interest-free car loans, and interest-free home mortgages, and interest-free credit cards, and whatever else ‘interests’ them …
“Muslim groups are calling for a separate student loan system because the interest due to be charged will conflict with rules of Sharia law.
The changes to tuition fees, which come into force next year, will see students charged higher rates of interest on the loans they take out to pay for university.
Until now they have paid the market rate of inflation but the reforms mean students who go on to earn more than £21,000 will have to pay interest of up to 3 per cent.
But in some interpretations of Sharia law, which is Islam’s legal system and governs every aspect of Muslim life, loans are forbidden.
The National Union of Students has said it could be two years before an alternative system is worked out, leaving some Muslims fearing they cannot go on to further education.
The Federation of Student Islamic Societies told The Independent that the rate increase was a ‘pressing issue’.
A spokesman said: ‘Because the rate of interest is above the rate of inflation, it is quite blatant usury.’
Usury means the practice of lending money and charging the borrower interest, possibly at a very high rate.
Mohammed Ahmed-Sheikh, 17, says the changes will discourage him from applying to university next year.
‘The fees are the reason I’m having doubts. I’m Muslim and loans are against my religion,’ he told The Independent.” Read more.
Losing Malmo: Sweden Surrenders Their Third Largest City … to Muslims

By ANDREW C. McCARTHY – “Do you remember the jihadist terror campaign that ravaged Malmo, Sweden’s third largest city? Do you recall the bombings, the suicide-hijackings, and the random assassinations that finally coerced the city to surrender to Islamization?
No? Funny, I don’t remember them either. Yet there is no question that Malmo has surrendered. Large enclaves of the city, like similar enclaves throughout Western Europe, have earned the dread label ‘no-go zone.’ They are unsafe for non-Muslims, particularly women who do not conform to Islamist conventions of dress and social interaction. They are especially perilous for police, firefighters, and emergency-medical technicians.
Why would a community discourage the so-called first-responders? After all, the top priority of law-enforcement officers is to assist crime victims. In an Islamic enclave, a high percentage of these will be Muslims. And obviously, the fire department and the ambulances are dispatched to save lives — here, Muslim lives. Yet, the community is hostile. The police and other emergency personnel are viewed as agents of the non-Muslim state. Their presumptuousness in entering the Islamic enclave and acting under the color of Swedish law is taken as an affront to Islamic sovereignty.
An Islamic enclave in the West may as well be the West Bank, and the authorities the IDF. They are regarded no differently. That is why, as Soeren Kern of the Madrid-based Strategic Studies Group notes, “Fire and emergency workers . . . refuse to enter Malmo’s mostly Muslim Rosengaard district without police escorts.” And sensibly so: When firefighters attempted to extinguish a blaze at the city’s main mosque, local Muslims pelted them with stones.
There is a simple reason why this has happened to Malmo, and why it is happening in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, etc. The European Union forced on its member states the same approach to their swelling Muslim populations that the Obama administration is now trying to strong-arm American cities and states into adopting. It is a suicide theory, holding that the only threat to our security is ‘violent extremism.'” Read more.
Occupation Without Tanks or Soldiers: European ‘No-Go’ Zones for Non-Muslims Proliferating – “Islamic extremists are stepping up the creation of ‘no-go’ areas in European cities that are off-limits to non-Muslims. Many of the ‘no-go’ zones function as microstates governed by Islamic Sharia law. Host-country authorities effectively have lost control in these areas and in many instances are unable to provide even basic public aid such as police, fire fighting and ambulance services.” Read more.
Occupation Without Tanks or Soldiers: European ‘No-Go’ Zones for Non-Muslims Proliferating

By Soeren Kern – “Islamic extremists are stepping up the creation of ‘no-go’ areas in European cities that are off-limits to non-Muslims.
Many of the ‘no-go’ zones function as microstates governed by Islamic Sharia law. Host-country authorities effectively have lost control in these areas and in many instances are unable to provide even basic public aid such as police, fire fighting and ambulance services.
The ‘no-go’ areas are the by-product of decades of multicultural policies that have encouraged Muslim immigrants to create parallel societies and remain segregated rather than become integrated into their European host nations.
In Britain, for example, a Muslim group called Muslims Against the Crusades has launched a campaign to turn twelve British cities – including what it calls ‘Londonistan‘ – into independent Islamic states. The so-called Islamic Emirates would function as autonomous enclaves ruled by Islamic Sharia law and operate entirely outside British jurisprudence.
The Islamic Emirates Project names the British cities of Birmingham, Bradford, Derby, Dewsbury, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Luton, Manchester, Sheffield, as well as Waltham Forest in northeast London and Tower Hamlets in East London as territories to be targeted for blanket Sharia rule.
In the Tower Hamlets area of East London (also known as the Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets), for example, extremist Muslim preachers, called the Tower Hamlets Taliban, regularly issue death threats to women who refuse to wear Islamic veils. Neighborhood streets have been plastered with posters declaring ‘You are entering a Sharia controlled zone: Islamic rules enforced.’ And street advertising deemed offensive to Muslims is regularly vandalized or blacked out with spray paint.
In the Bury Park area of Luton, Muslims have been accused of ‘ethnic cleansing’ by harassing non-Muslims to the point that many of them move out of Muslim neighborhoods. In the West Midlands, two Christian preachers have been accused of ‘hate crimes’ for handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham. In Leytonstone in east London, the Muslim extremist Abu Izzadeen heckled the former Home Secretary John Reid by saying: ‘How dare you come to a Muslim area.'” Read more.
CAIR Demands That Rep. Allen West Stop Associating with Non-Pro-Islamic Groups, West Responds With a Four-Letter Word …
… and the Muslim Brotherhood-linked CAIR just can’t seem to figure out why Rep. Allen West refuses to submit to these Islamists and instead simply replies to their demands with the word ‘NUTS’. I guess it’ll have to be spelled out for CAIR: ‘NUTS’ [nuhts] Slang (interjection) – 1. Also, nerts, nertz. Used to express disgust, defiance, disapproval, despair; 2. (Adjective) insane; crazy.
Well said, Mr. West …
“FORT LAUDERDALE (CBS4) – A South Florida Muslim group sent Congressman Allen West a letter asking him to disassociate himself from activists the group considers anti-Islamic.
Congressman West did respond and the letter he sent back is raising some eyebrows.
If it looks like the shortest letter you’ve ever seen from a member of congress, it probably is. How short? Try one word, in capital letters: ‘NUTS!’
‘I was shocked at first. I didn’t expect this from a congressman,’ said Nezar Hamze, the executive director of CAIR Florida — the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
‘We stand up for the civil rights of the Muslim community. That’s what we do,’ said Hamze.
Hamze says he wrote to the Republican Congressman earlier this month with his concerns about the Congressman’s relationships with groups and people Hamze considers to be anti-Islamic.
‘When I first saw that, I wasn’t sure if he was calling me nuts, or he was calling my concerns nuts,’ said Hamze.
Constituents in West’s district 22 are just now reading the letter.
‘It doesn’t look too professional to me. It doesn’t look thought out,’ said one constituent named Chuck.
Simone Oliver, another district 22 constituent thinks it’s fine, but says it needs a little more.
‘Maybe another sentence, explaining,’ she said.
West has not fully explained his position, but in other letters to CAIR Florida, he has said he is neither anti-Islamic nor anti-Muslim.
Then CBS4 News discovered that during World War II, General Anthony McAuliffe famously wrote a one-word letter to the Germans in response to a surrender ultimatum. The word used: ‘Nuts!'” Read more.
CAIR promises to fight against legislation that bans implementation of ‘foreign laws’ – “Muslim leaders are saying a piece of legislation proposed by Rep. Dave Agema (R-Grandville) is actually an attack on Islam. In June, Agema proposed legislation that would ban the implementation of foreign laws. While the language of the proposal does not say it directly, it would ban Sharia or Islamic law. Agema told the Detroit News that the law is intended to preserve American laws.” Read more.
Expert: Large European Cities Overwhelmed by Muslim Population
“Muslim population in many big European cities already exceeds 20%, according to Alex Alexiev, an expert in international security and radical Islam and visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, Washington, D.C.
In his words, however, what is especially worrying is that these Muslims are getting radicalized.
The expert reckons that almost all Western European countries are marked by a high degree of radicalization.
‘Unlike our Muslims from the Balkan Peninsula, they are much more prone to radicalization because the religious organs in Western Europe, the Muslim religious organs, are controlled and commanded by radical Islamists, subsidized/financed by Saudi Arabia and other places, and preach the ideologies of the Muslim Brotherhood and etc’, Alexiev explains in an interview fir the Focus news agency.
According to him, it seems to escape public notice that almost all Muslims in Western Europe are people residing in big cities.
‘Muslims in rural areas and small towns are hard to find. If we take the city of Marseille as an example, the Muslim population there exceeds 30%, the share of the young generation below 20 years of age is already above 50%, meaning that Marseille is on its way to become an exclusively Muslim city. The same applies to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Malmö, and Antwerp’, the expert says.” Read more.
