Hat tip to Daily Caller
Never mind that the US Attorney's office in Dallas reportedly wants to indict CAIR. Never mind that the FBI will not work with CAIR. The White House still wants to give them credibility even if only 11.5% of US Muslims identify with this wretched organization. Daily Caller has the story.

Of course, it must be pointed out that George W. Bush made the same mistake after 9-11 reaching out to so-called moderates. That may have been out of sheer ignorance, but this White House can't use that excuse. Organizations like CAIR, MPAC and ISNA are well-known to law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Unfortunately, it is the White House and the DOJ under Eric Holder who set the policies.
I also find it amazing that Washington would not want to reach out to people like Zuhdi Jasser and Stephen Schwartz, Muslim leaders who are not afraid to call a spade a spade and acknowledge the radical threat to our security. They know the true nature of CAIR and the other so-called "mainstream" Muslim organizations. Yet, our leaders in Washington, with the exception of Rep. Peter King (R-NY), Sue Myrick (R-NC) and a few others, refuse to recognize what their own intelligence and law enforcement sources-not to mention NGOs like Steven Emerson's Investigative Project on Terrorism- stand ready to tell them.
Frankly, nothing this administration does surprises me anymore. They have turned our country upside down when it comes to diplomacy, foreign policy, economics, and even our own security.
It is truly an Obama plan to send the message to the Muslim community that he embraces the Muslim Brotherhood organizations, which desire the downfall of Capitolism and Western society, to advance the Caliphate. For the far-left and Marxist types it is simply, "The enemy f my enemy is my friend". So they embrace the MB. This is the message to the majority of Muslims in our community who want nothing to do with the MB.
ReplyDeleteHistory will not be kind to Mr. Obama, as the truth about his early Socialist/Marxist training, his work with the Mid-West Academy, Radical Marxist friends and appointments and his implementation of Progressive "Change" will point out.

Don't forget Squid, it was the CIA under Reagan deciding that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" who build up these jihadis, to undermine the influence of the USSR and local variations on communist ideology in the Arab world.
ReplyDeleteWe sowed the wind, and reaped the whirlwind. It is true enough that some aging anti-imperialists can't bring themselves to believe that anyone of a sometime oppressed racial or ethnic group could possibly be a tyrant themselves... as if we haven't all taken our turn being the oppressed race at some point in history or other.
