Hat tip to Investigative Project on Terrorism

It never ceases to amaze me how people like Steve Emerson and his Investigative Project on Terrorism can uncover things our government should be uncovering itself. And to think that Peter King caved in when he decided not to have Emerson testify before his mini-hearing on Islamic terror in the US. Now the IPT is carrying a story alleging that Nihad Awad, the slippery CEO of CAIR, solicited big money from Ghaddafi when he visited the UN in 2009.

So let me make sure I understand the article correctly. CAIR, the "moderate" organization that claims to speak for all Muslims in the US, was (allegedly) asking Muammar Ghaddafi for money to purchase Korans to hand out to government officials and others? Is that true? I expect to see an offical announcement from CAIR responding to this charge.
I just checked the CAIR website. No mention of this. I'll keep checking.
C'mon Awad! Say it ain't so!
It would be rather odd, considering that Qadaffi suppressed the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, just as Hussein al-Takriti in Iraq "disappeared" women who came to school wearing so much as a hijab. It would be sort of like Gary's favorite Jewish organization soliciting money from George Soros.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Steve Emerson uncovers things our government doesn't because he is making it all up, and the government has to present credible evidence.
