DAR AL HARB-U.S.A.: TAX DOLLARS OF AMERICANS FUNDING TERROR

Your Tax Dollars Funding Terror
A strategic partnership between a prominent Department of Defense research institute and organizations tied to terrorism reveals the problem with the federal government's Islamic outreach programs.
by Patrick Poole

For more than fifty years, the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) has been one of the leading government-sponsored and -funded research institutions, conducting highly classified research for the military and intelligence community’s most secret projects. As its website notes, IDA currently operates three separate federally-funded research and development centers (FFRDC): one for the Secretary of Defense, another for the National Security Agency, and yet another for the Executive Office of the President.

Because of the nature of its work, for which it receives nearly $200 million annually in taxpayer support (the exact amount of its current funding is unknown since IDA’s last published IRS Form 990 available on the Internet is 2002), it is no surprise that IDA’s board of trustees, corporate officers and staff directory read like a “Who’s Who” of former federal agency heads and military leaders. IDA has previously characterized its exclusive relationship and direct participation in top-secret government programs as such:

The work often requires privileged access to sensitive information, including highly classified and industry proprietary data not normally available to non-government organizations.

Considering IDA’s influential position with the Department of Defense and the intelligence community, and the sensitive nature of the work it undertakes for the federal government, it is distressing that this federally-funded “think tank” has established a strategic partnership with four different Islamic organizations that have been identified by federal prosecutors as tied to the international terrorist network.

IDA has partnered with these groups as part of American Muslims for Constructive Engagement (AMCE), an alliance of six different organizations:

International Institute for Islamic Thought (IIIT)

Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)

Muslim American Society (MAS)

Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

International Council of Religion and Democracy (ICRD)

Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA)

Three of these groups — IIIT, ISNA and CAIR — were listed by the Department of Justice as unindicted co-conspirators last May in the Holy Land Foundation terror financing trial. Meanwhile, MAS was recently identified by federal prosecutors in a DOJ appeals court brief in another terrorism-related case as “the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.” The brief also states that “CAIR conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists.”

In stark contrast to IDA’s extensive list of leaders and staff with records of exemplary military and government service, AMCE’s advisory council reads like a virtual “Who’s Who” of Islamic extremist leaders in America.

DAR AL HARB - U.S.A.: 3 EX-MOSLEM TERRORISTS WILL SPEAK AT THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY - - - CAIR IS PISSED OF, AGAIN

3 ex-terrorists speaking at AFA; Muslim group objects
By Jean Torkelson, Rocky Mountain News

The Air Force Academy has invited three men who say they are former Islamic terrorists to speak at the 50th annual Academy Assembly, which opened Tuesday.

The invitation to the four-day event, "Dismantling Terrorism: Developing Actionable Solutions for Today's Plague of Violence," has angered a national Muslim group, which calls the men "anti-Muslim bigots."

"It's as if they had (ex-Klansman) David Duke come to speak about race relations," said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "Their entire presentation is based on the false belief that the root cause of all terrorism in the world is Islam and that it's evil and of the devil."

The assembly, founded in 1959, is a student conference on topics of contemporary significance, according to the academy Web site. This year's event is not meant to discuss any religion but to train future leaders, said Maj. Brett Ashworth, Air Force communications director.

Today's opening presentation, Inside Terrorism, features Walid Shoebat, Kamal Saleem and Zak Anani. They are described by their publicists as "three former terrorists" who "practiced hatred against Christians, Jews and Americans" and were "part of sleeper cells in the USA."

CAIR's offer to send a speaker with an alternative view of Islam was rejected because the conference isn't supposed to be about religion, Ashworth said.

Now let us read about CAIR, MAS & their ties to the MOSLEM BROTHERHOOD:


For the Record: Government Reminds Court of CAIR/MAS Ties to Terrorists


The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is demanding that the Air Force Academy alter a panel of speakers slated for a terrorist symposium this week, saying it's an unbalanced presentation dominated by anti-Muslim speakers. But recently, and for at least the third time, federal prosecutors have called out CAIR as part of a covert Muslim Brotherhood effort in the United States. First, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Hamas-support trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF). CAIR was listed among "entities who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood's Palestine Committee." Then, when the group petitioned to remove its name from that list, prosecutors said such relief "will not prevent its conspiratorial involvement with HLF, and others affiliated with Hamas, from becoming a matter of public record."

Now, in a federal court filing from December, federal prosecutors have described CAIR as "having conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists." The government also stated that "proof that the conspirators used deception to conceal from the American public their connections to terrorists was introduced" in the Dallas Holy Land Foundation trial last year and the Chicago trial of the Hamas men in 2006.

The government also stated that another organization, the Muslim American Society (MAS) was "founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States." This appears to be the first time the US government has officially described the true origins and ulterior agenda of the Muslim American Society.

DAR AL HARB - U.S.A.: KEITH ELLISON, MOSLEM D-MN, SPEAKS AT MEMORIAL WHILE THEIR ORGANIZATION PREACHES HATE OF JEWS & CHRISTIANS

CONGRESSMAN KEITH ELLISON TO SPEAK AT MEMORIAL FOR DEAD ISLAMIST LEADER
AS MEMORIAL PROCEEDS, GROUP PROPOGATES VIOLENT HATRED AGAINST JEWS AND CHRISTIANS

(Coral Springs, FL) Today, Congressman Keith Ellison will be the main speaker at a memorial for the deceased leader of the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society (MAS-Minnesota), Hesham Hussein. Hussein was killed in an auto accident in Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, January 26th.

While Congressman Ellison speaks, the organization Hussein led will be using the internet to propagate violent hatred against Jews and Christians.

Statements such as “In view of the degenerate moral condition of the Jews and the Christians, the Believers have been warned not to make them their friends and confidants.” and “If you gain victory over the men of Jews, kill them.” are currently featured on the MAS-Minnesota website.
Also scheduled to speak at the memorial will be the Assistant Chief of the Saint Paul Police Department, Dennis Jensen.

Joe Kaufman, Chairman of Americans Against Hate (AAH) stated, "It is wrong for any official to speak at a memorial for a leader of a hate group, whether it be the Ku Klux Klan or the Muslim American Society. We call on these officials to cancel their appearances."

Joe Kaufman is available for interview. E-mail: info@americansagainsthate.org.



Isn't it just SUPER that Minnesotans elected the first moslem to Congress, that took the oath of office on a qur'an (that allows for & demands all kinds of violence against infidels)?!?

I bet Minnesotans are approaching a P.C. NIRVANA...

DAR AL HARB - U.S.A.: MOSLEM AMERICAN SOCIETY, MOSLEM BROTHERHOODS & DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOR P.O.T.U.S.

Strange Bedfellows on the Campaign Trail
by Steven Emerson
IPT News Service
January 14, 2008

The primary season is in full swing, with the both parties seeing different winners in the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire primary. For the first time in more than a generation, both the Democratic and Republican party nominations are wide open. So it's seems a good time to point out that what the eventual nominees say and do now in appealing to their respective bases can come back to bite them in November.

That's why it's curious to see some of the Democratic candidates courting support from Islamist organizations with a record of support for those who actively seek to thwart American interests in the Middle East.

There's no question Muslim voters should be heard in this campaign. The question is who is best to speak for them? Far be it from us to advise the candidates, but the record shows that while the Muslim American Society (MAS) may claim a deep list of registered voters—a claim we believe is highly suspect -- the baggage it carries with it can do a campaign far more harm than good.

According to the organization's Jan. 2 newsletter:

Democratic candidates Senators Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd, and Hillary Clinton, Cong. Dennis Kucinich, former Sen. John Edwards, and Gov. Bill Richardson, have all given MAS Freedom the opportunity for one-on-one meetings where they have expressed their solidarity with ending the wars, torture and rendition, and stated their proposed policies for immigration reform.

Biden, Richardson and Dodd no longer are candidates.

MAS was established by American-based members of the Muslim Brotherhood, a global Islamist movement with a stated long-range objective of making Shariah law "the basis controlling the affairs of state and society." As stated by Hassan al-Banna, the Brotherhood's founder, "It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet." That helps explain the Muslim Brotherhood's motto: "God is our objective, the Quran is our Constitution, the Prophet is our leader, jihad is our way, and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations."

While MAS officials deny any ongoing affiliation, a senior Brotherhood official played it coy just three years ago in an interview with the Chicago Tribune. "I don't want to say MAS is a [Brotherhood] entity," said Mohammed Habib in a Sept. 19, 2004 article. "This causes some security inconveniences for them in a post-Sept. 11 world."

This year, we learned what the Brotherhood sees as its ambitions in America. According to an internal memo written in 1991, "their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad 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."

It was introduced into evidence at the Hamas-support trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. The case ended in a mistrial when jurors failed to reach unanimous verdicts on most of the counts and will be retried later this year. Chances are, some cunning media consultant may remind voters about that memo as the election draws near, especially if one of the nominees is seen as cozy with a group that supports HLF and hailed the mistrial as a victory.
