The Betrayal Papers — Part II of V

NOTE: This essay is the second in a five-part series from the Qatar Awareness Campaign. Previously: Part 1.

At least seven Obama administration appointees have multiple documented associations with Muslim Brotherhood organizations in the United States.

The Betrayal Papers — Part II of V

In Plain Sight: A National Security “Smoking Gun”

The first article of the Betrayal Papers asserted that the Muslim Brotherhood was not only influential in the United States government, but in fact dominated the administration of President Barack Hussein Obama. This article will name several key people who were or are in the Obama administration and who have various, documented associations with organizations which are directly tied to and/or funded by the Muslim Brotherhood and the State of Qatar (home to Brotherhood’s Spiritual Leader, Yusuf al-Qaradawi). These individuals have helped dictate national security policies that have crippled counterterrorism efforts at home and abroad.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s Network of Civic Organizations: Apologists for Terror

In 1963, the first Muslim Brotherhood front group established itself in the United States and Canada: the Muslim Students Association of the U.S. and Canada (MSA), a group based on college campuses in North America. Through this organizational foothold, the Brotherhood has recruited and indoctrinated generations of American and Canadian Muslims into an Islamic belief system that pits Islam against the world. In more than a few cases, Muslims who join MSA chapters at their colleges have taken this ideology to its logical extreme: terrorism.

For example, it was recently reported by the Canadian Military Association that eleven (11) of Canada’s highest profile terrorists were tied to the MSA.

The Muslim Students Association (MSA): The MSA, the first Muslim Brotherhood organization to gain a foothold in the United States, was founded in 1963. Many founding members were Muslim Brothers or had connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. The three most significant founders of MSA were Hisham al Talib, Jamal Barzinji, and Ahmed Totanji, and all of whom were MB leaders of Iraqi descent. While a student at George Washington University, Hillary Clinton’s personal aide Huma Abedin was on the Executive Board of her MSA.

Since the early 1960s, the Muslim Brotherhood’s MSA has birthed a large number of purported “civic organizations,” which are anything but civil. We shall now name some of the groups, and establish the facts that link them to their parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood.

Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR): CAIR was founded by two individuals with close ties to a Hamas operative. Hamas, according to its own charter, is the branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine. In 2007, founder Omar Ahwad was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorist financing trial. In November 2014, CAIR was designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates.

Muslim American Society (MAS): MAS was founded in 1992 by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to MAS secretary-general Shaker Elsayed. MAS, and the Muslim Brotherhood, advocate for Sharia law in the United States. MAS identifies the Islamic Society of North American (ISNA) and Muslim Students Association (MSA) as organizations with the same goal: the “Islamic revival movement.” In November 2014, MAS was designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates.

Islamic Society of North America (ISNA): ISNA was created out of four Islamic organizations, including the Muslim Students Association. Its former president Mohamed Magid was appointed an advisor to DHS and the National Security Council by Barack Obama in 2011, and was a recent guest at the White House.

Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC): MPAC was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, specifically Hassan and Maher Hathout, both whom were acolytes of Muslim Brotherhood founder, Hassan al-Banna. MPAC supports the Tunisian Ennahda (Muslim Brotherhood) Party leader, Rachid Ghannouchi, whom they termed “one of the most important figures in modern Islamic political thought and theory.” Its current President is Salam Al-Marayati, who represented the US to the United Nations and UNESCO in 2010.

Additionally, a 1991 internal memorandum of the Muslim Brotherhood specifically identifies CAIR, ISNA, and the MSA in “A list of our organizations and organizations of our friends.” (Note: CAIR’s organizational predecessor, the Islamic Association of Palestine, is named.)

Finally, CAIR and ISNA were named un-indicted co-conspirators which materially supported terrorism by a federal court, in connection with the infamous Holy Land Foundation trial, an alleged humanitarian charity for Palestine. An incorporating member of MAS, Dr. Jamal Badawi, was named an unindicted co-conspirator. MPAC and MSA members are on the record supporting the Holy Land Foundation against government terrorism charges.

This evidence begs some questions from the honest reader:

Whitewash at the White Mosque

Using ritamalik’s invaluable translation of the Arabic-language audio from the White Mosque Summit on Kinetic Activism, Dr. Andrew Bostom explains the background of Koran 5:32 (which was chanted at the White Mosque) and 5:33 (which was not).

Below are some excerpts from Dr. Bostom’s piece in PJMedia:

White House Whitewash: Koran Verse Featured at ‘Extremism’ Summit Edited Out Call to Crush Jews

Worse, the edited-to-sound-kind words are actually a passage lifted from the Mishnah, a Jewish text.

by Andrew G. Bostom

Penny Starr of CNSNews.com has reported that the second day of this past week’s White House summit on “Countering Violent Extremism” was initiated by an unidentified “Muslim prayer” exclusively: “no other religious text was presented during the portion of the event that was open to the press.”

Imam Sheikh Sa’ad Musse Roble, president of the World Peace Organization in Minneapolis, recited a “verse from the Koran” in Arabic. An English translation of the verse was read next by Imam Abdisalam Adam of the Islamic Civil Society of America. Adam stated:

In translation, those verses of the Koran mean “Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption in the land, it’s as if he has slain mankind entirely, and whoever saves one life, it’s as if he has saved mankind entirely.”

Imam Roble had recited Koran 5:32 (i.e., the 5th sura, or chapter, and 32nd verse) in Arabic, in its entirety (see video here).

However, Imam Adam quoted Koran 5:32 selectively with his English translation.

The full (academic Arberry) translation is as follows:

Therefore We prescribed for the Children of Israel that whoso slays a soul not to retaliate for a soul slain, nor for corruption done in the land, shall be as if he had slain mankind altogether; and whoso gives life to a soul, shall be as if he has given life to mankind altogether. Our Messengers have already come to them with the clear signs; then many of them thereafter commit excesses in the earth.

And the very next verse, Koran 5:33, “prescribed” what fate “the Children of Israel,” the Jews, deserve for continuing to “commit excesses” by refusing Islamic teachings:

This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall alternately be struck off; or they shall be banished from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement.

Perhaps the most misleading and degrading element of this whitewash occurring at the White House summit is that the wonderful sounding words selectively extracted from Koran 5:32 are attributed to the Koran, when they in fact come from a preexisting Jewish text (Mishnah, IV Division 5):

The Slandering of Shahina Siddiqui

Shahina Siddiqui is the founder and Executive Director of the innocuous-sounding Islamic Social
Services Association (ISSA), which is based in Winnipeg. Originally from Pakistan, she is now a well-known Muslim civil-rights activist in Canada.

The following video (an excerpt from a hearing in the Canadian Senate) features an exchange between Senator Lynn Beyak and Shahina Siddiqui. You’ll hear Ms. Siddiqui go into high dudgeon over public assertions that she is associated with terrorists, which she describes as “slander” and “defamation”. However, a quick internet search reveals that she is on the board of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, which was formerly called CAIR-Canada. As we all know, CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation Trial, and served as a fundraising arm for Hamas. If that is not “associating with terrorists”, then what is?

Fortunately, Sen. Beyak remained unflappable as she addressed some well-placed remarks to Ms. Siddiqui.

How Many Muslims Live in Germany?

How Many Muslims Live in Germany?

by Felix Strüning

How the “unserious” research of the SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service) hinders necessary debates about Islam

The Sachverständigenrat deutscher Stiftungen für Integration und Migration (SVR) is going public with a special evaluation of its Integration Barometer 2014, which was finished already at the end of April. In it, the lobbying organization claims that the number of Muslims living in the country is vastly overestimated by the populace. However, rather than asking why this should be so, they conduct a polemic with exaggerations, omissions and arbitrary interpretations. A prime example of how the urgent debate about Islam as an ideology and the Muslims who are to be integrated here can be influenced, if not completely stymied, under the guise of the scientific approach.

The SVR press release of November 13, 2014 begins as follows:

“The number of Muslims in Germany is overestimated.

A special evaluation of the Integration Barometer shows that 70% of those asked overestimate the number of Muslims living in Germany. One-third of those polled even estimate the number at more than 10 million — even though it is only about 4 million. The gap between perception and reality can be narrowed with better information.”

Suppressed Facts: Proportional Increase in Number of Muslims Living in Germany

Even the title of the press release is dubious, suggesting that publicly available statistics are at fault. Only reading further do we discover that this was a poll which was not even typical of the German population (see below).

What is most problematic is that the number of Muslims cited as living here cannot have been true for a very long time. The number of “about four million” Muslims is from a study by the Federal Office for Immigration and Refugees (BAMF) made at the beginning of 2008. So five years have elapsed before the SVR Integration Barometer, during which the number of Muslims in Germany should have risen considerably. Thus, international prognoses on Muslim population development in Germany and the world [1] reveal a much stronger growth than among the native populations.

Add to this that, since the wars and unrest in the Arab-Islamic world, the number of refugees entering Germany has risen exponentially. And this implies a massive increase in the percentage of the population of Muslim persuasion. All facts which the SVR in its press release blithely swept under the rug.

“It is Simply Impossible to Arrest the Penetrative Proliferating Spread of Islam”

[T]he matter is a sham package in its entirety: on the surface it is said to be an opportunity to remove radical Islam from Austria; in reality, it protects the radical elements.

— Christian Zeitz

We’ve reported in the past (see the links at the bottom of this post) about the new Islam Law in Austria, which was proposed as a replacement to the original Law of 1912. The draft of the new law is about to be put before the plenary of the Austrian parliament, and is expected to pass.

Christian Zeitz is an Austrian scholar with the Wiener Akademikerbund, and one of Europe’s foremost experts on Islam and Islamic law. In the interview below he talks about the implication of the new Islam Law for Austria and Europe.

Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, who arranged for and conducted the interview, sends this introduction:

The new Islamgesetz is set to be passed tomorrow [Wednesday, February 25], the day when Austria submits to Islam.

The Parliamentary Constitutional Committee did not heed the advice of the Wiener Akademikerbund. WAB suffered a huge defeat in Parliament when the Islam Law was passed in committee.

Tomorrow they will vote a broken and potentially dangerous law into effect. A dark day for Austria! Welcome to institutional Islamization.

On February 12 Christian Zeitz agreed to provide a short explanation of what the Law intends, which is nothing less than the total submission of Austria under the Sharia.

Transcript

Christian Zeitz, Association of Vienna Academics (Wiener Akademikerbund )

Interviewed by Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff
Translated by Rembrandt Clancy

Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff:

There has been an Islam Act [Islamgesetz] in Austria since 1912. Could you please explain to us why there is such an Act in Austria at all?

Christian Zeitz:

The Austrian Reichstag passed the Islam Act in 1912 due to the annexation in 1908 of Bosnia-Herzegovina to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, and it was decided that Muslims living there, but especially Muslim soldiers in the Imperial-Royal Army, should have the opportunity of practising their faith with official sanction.

The Islam Act of 1912 had the status of a special law. Those regulations governing the establishment of a new faith community, as defined pursuant to the so-called Recognition Act [Anerkennungsgesetz] of 1874, were deemed to be as yet inapplicable to Muslims; in particular, because the language prerequisites, which the imams or other religious officials normally had to fulfil and which were prescribed by law, were deemed to be absent; also there were no financial foundations in place for the establishment of a religious community; that is, it was a special act originally conceived to apply over a transitional period only; for a transitional period, during which Muslims should be given the opportunity to do what all other religious communities [Religionsgemeinschaften] and churches did even at this time; namely, they ensured that they were in compliance with Austrian law, they ensured that their religious officials and religion instructors had citizenship and that they understood the language of the country, and they ensured that the religious community was in a position of financial self-sufficiency. So it was a transitional law.

Since the number of Muslims in Austria was quite small, — not only during the Monarchy, but also after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and into the time of the Republic of Austria right up to the 1960s and 1970s, — the law had no de facto practical relevance. However, beginning with the year 1974, a so-called Islamic Social Services Association was constituted, in the wake of which, in 1988, the so-called Islamic Faith Community [IGGiÖ] was founded, and then established by decree.

At the same time, if one looks at an estimate, the number of Muslims in Austria has increased by an order of magnitude of around 750,000. That is a sizeable figure, which is also of considerable importance naturally to the cultural and social situation. And it has therefore become necessary, and it would altogether prove useful in the interests of the Republic of Austria, to establish a new regulatory provision, by which not only the rights of Muslims are to be represented, but also the duties of Muslims, and by which the Republic’s policy toward Islam should be laid out in a structured form.

Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff:

And that is why we now have this new Islam Act which is currently under discussion in parliament. What do you expect from this Islam Act? What are the positive and negative sides; and most importantly, what does the Association of Vienna Academics [Wiener Akademikerbund] have to do with it?

A mysterious tunnel was discovered in a wooded area of Toronto adjacent to a venue for this summer’s Pan Am Games. The tunnel was about 25 feet long and high enough for a person to stand in. The walls and ceiling were reinforced, and it was equipped with generator-powered lights. The dirt excavated from the tunnel had been removed from the area of the entrance. Ontario authorities hastened to reassure the public that it was a lone wolf tunnel, had no connection to kinetic activism, and above all had nothing to do with Islam.

In other news, France has deployed the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to the Persian Gulf as part of the U.S.-led campaign against the Islamic State.

Out With the Old In With the New Tennessee Lobbyist for Islamists

Below is the latest newsletter from the Tennessee Council for Political Justice.

Newsletter #161 — Out With the Old In With the New Tennessee Lobbyist for Islamists

Important information that should be passed to your state legislators.

Former American Center for Outreach (ACO) director Remziya Suleyman was the lobbyist in our state legislature for Tennessee Islamists. She and her Civic Engagement Coordinator, Drost Kokoye believed they were “run[ning] Tennessee.”

They never did and certainly aren’t anymore!

What they did do though was bring Muslim Brotherhood CAIR to Tennessee and then have it become entrenched by turning the ACO over to Paul “Iesa” [Jesus] Galloway, a former Texas CAIR director.


Paul “Iesa” [Jesus] Shelby Galloway

Paul “Iesa” Galloway is now the registered lobbyist for Tennessee’s Islamists.

The lobbyist registration form names Soyab Malani as ACO’s “CFO.” He is also an original organizer and board member of the Tennessee American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) which recently removed all board member names and the name of its Executive Director from their website. Why? Reorganizing? Concealing the identities of who is involved?

Who is Nadeem Siddiqi?

ACO’s “lobbyist supervisor” is board chair, Nadeem Siddiqi from Knoxville. Is this the same Nadeem Siddiqi named in a 2012 lawsuit for defrauding the government by submitting false Medicare and Medicaid bills?


Nadeem Siddiqi

Siddiqi is a former Board member of the Knoxville Annoor Mosque (also known as the Muslim Community of Knoxville). He is currently a board member of the Annoor Academy, a private Islamic school that uses a textbook teaching students that Christians and Jews are immoral and inferior to Muslims.

Your Days Are Numbered

The picture above is a color monotype print by William Blake, from a copy in the Tate that was impressed ca. 1805. It represents King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon during his time in exile, when he was driven into madness as a punishment for his overweening pride. I’ll be using the image for another post in the next day or so, but the process of hunting it down brought to mind the lyrics of a song by Robert Hunter called “Book of Daniel”.

The excerpt below describes the moment when the prophet Daniel was summoned to the royal palace of King Belshazzar, the son of Nebuchadnezzar, to interpret the words mene, mene, tekel, upharsin as written on the palace wall by a disembodied hand:

Daniel walked in bent but tall, spat upon the floor
Let me see these words… well, hmm — yes… I’ve seen them before
They simply mean your days are numbered; fact, they’re even run
You’ve been judged in the balance and found wanting
Your royalty is just a gift — your father learned that lesson
By losing both his kingdom and his reason

So great in pride he was cut down, driven to the field —
Lived there like a wild beast until his pride did yield
And when the king, your father, achieved humility
He was restored his kingdom and his sanity

And though you knew all this to start, you humbled not your heart
The writing on the wall commands your fall!

There seem to be an awful lot of Belshazzars in the world today, living in sumptuous splendor, ruling their peoples with an iron fist, and all the while offering sacrifices to the gods of silver, stone, and wood. No hope of redemption for them. No chance of learning humility the way Nebuchadnezzar did, eating grass in the fields like a wild beast.

For each of them there is a Darius or a Cyrus waiting in the wings to ring down the curtain on his prideful performance.

What shall be the end of this? How shall it pass away?
Get up, old Daniel, never mind, get up and go thy way
Further words are closed and sealed until the end of time
Many shall be called, each in his season
In wickedness of pride is lost the light to understand
How little grace is earned and how much given

Islam in Europe: The Subjection

From Ortner Online, the “Central Organ of Neo-Liberalism” in Austria, comes this excellent essay by Werner Reichel on Europe’s looming Islamic future.

Many thanks to JLH for the translation:

Islam in Europe: The Subjection

by Werner Reichel
February 17, 2015

And now in Copenhagen too. Shocked again, but not too much. It could just as easily been Barcelona, Hamburg, Vienna, Marseilles, Rome, Manchester, Rotterdam or any other city in Europe. Still to come. The politically correct elite and European societies just can’t be well-behaved and obsequious enough. Caricatures, a public discussion of freedom of expression, a film, a Christian symbol, one false word — no matter, there will always be something. That is why it is trumpeted over all available media that this had nothing to do with Islam. It’s just some confused extremists who weren’t paying attention in the mosque.

Islamically motivated terrorism has come to Europe and it is here to stay. In two hours, or three days, or a week or a month, things will go boom again. Everyone will be — less and less — shocked each time. City XY, of all places! Where they have done so much for integration…

Islamic terror will soon be part of our everyday life, with all its effects on a progressively less free and open society. You get used to it — become accustomed. The excitement in the media and the political arena won’t be quite so great for the next massacre. From the front pages of newspapers to the last sections under “briefly noted” is a foreseeable progression. Just another confused perpetrator or an isolated group. Then the attempt to put the blame of the police. The left hangs onto its old and preferred enemies.

After the next massacres, the thousands of “Charlies” in politics, the media and culture will probably even stop their implausible “activism” and idle alibiing, because they will no longer have the courage to carry on with them. Just don’t take any risks. “Tolerance” will gradually dissolve democracy, freedom of the press and expression. And there will be a lot to tolerate.
