In the 1990s, the extremist Muslim Brotherhood government of Sudan, led by
President Omar al-Bashir, was continuing a genocidal jihad against the
Christian and animist populations inhabiting the south of the country that
killed nearly [1] two million
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/232803.stm> people and forced another
four million from their homes. In July 2008, Bashir was [2] indicted
<http://www.icc-cpi.int/press/pressreleases/406.html>  by the International
Criminal Court for war crimes related to the regime’s subsequent genocide in
Darfur.

As Bashir was waging his holocaust against the Christians during the 1990s,
one of his closest advisors and top aides was Abubaker Ahmed al-Shingieti,
who from 1993 to 1995 served as spokesman for Bashir’s government (as he was
identified in a 1994 New York Times [3] article
<http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F02E0D71030F935A2575BC0A962
958260> ). According to al-Shingieti’s own published [4] résumé
<http://www.icrd.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=279&Itemid=12
6> , he later served Bashir as director of public affairs for the presidency
from 1995 to 1998, as the genocidal jihad against the Christians was at its
height and Sudan was the [5] hub
<http://www.milnet.com/state/1997/mckune97.htm>  of the international
Islamic terror network. As [6] reported
<http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE2DC1E3AF935A15755C0A965
958260&n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/Subjects/T/Terrorism>  by the New York
Times, eight individuals charged in the New York landmarks bombing plot in
1993 were traveling on Sudanese passports.

As a result of those arrests, Sudan was added to the U.S. State Department
[7] list <http://www.state.gov/s/ct/c14151.htm>  of state sponsors of
terrorism in August 1993. That was not long after al-Shingieti’s boss began
[8] sheltering <http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,134544,00.html>  Osama
bin Laden, who lived in Khartoum from 1992 to 1996. With the close advisory
role that bin Laden had with the Sudanese president and other high-ranking
officials, it is highly likely that al-Shingieti would have had regular
direct contact with bin Laden, as well as a host of other terrorist leaders
who regularly visited Khartoum during al-Shingieti’s tenure.

This is particularly relevant as al-Shingieti will be heading the U.S.
Muslim outreach to the Obama administration as the president of [9] American
Muslims for Constructive Engagement <http://www.amceweb.net/2.html>  (AMCE),
a collaborative effort by U.S.-based Muslim Brotherhood front organizations
to infiltrate our federal government. A recent [10] open letter
<http://www.islamicamagazine.com/general/Open-Letter-Concerning-Anwar-Ibrahi
m.html>  signed by al-Shingieti identifies him as AMCE’s president. The
group states its vision as:

The United States Muslim community and the United States government working
together constructively in enhancing national security and national
interests of the United States of America.

The lead organization in AMCE, the International Institute for Islamic
Thought (IIIT), which al-Shingieti serves as regional director, is the
current focus of a federal [11] grand jury probe
<http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/mar/04/me-al-arian-gets-federal-subpoena>
into terrorist financing. At least two other AMCE groups, the Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America
(ISNA), were named by federal prosecutors as [12] unindicted co-conspirators
<http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/case_docs/423.pdf>  in the
recent Holy Land Foundation terrorism finance trial, which resulted in [13]
convictions
<http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/112508dnm
etholylandverdicts.1e5022504.html>  on all 108 counts. And the Muslim
American Society (MAS) was [14] identified
<http://www.investigativeproject.org/article/597>  in federal court briefs
by the Department of Justice as “the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in
America.”

Exhibits entered into evidence in the Holy Land Foundation trial identified
CAIR as a front group for the Palestine Committee of the Muslim Brotherhood,
and ISNA was also identified as an extension of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Testimony by FBI Special Agent Lara Burns during that trial [15] placed
<http://counterterrorismblog.org/2007/08/cair_executive_director_placed.php>
AMCE steering committee member Nihad Awad at an infamous [16] 1993 meeting
<http://www1.nefafoundation.org/miscellaneous/93Phillyfinal.pdf>  of
U.S.-based Hamas leadership in Philadelphia.

And documents received this past August by the Investigative Project through
a Freedom of Information Act request [17] revealed
<http://www.investigativeproject.org/article/737>  that AMCE steering
committee member Jamal al-Barzinji and AMCE advisory council member Yacub
Mirza were listed in FBI memos as “members and leaders of the Ikhwan”, which
is the Arabic term for the Muslim Brotherhood. Department of Homeland
Security senior agent David Kane has [18] testified
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=73719>  in a federal court
affidavit that “Barzinji is not only closely associated with PIJ
[Palestinian Islamic Jihad], but also with Hamas.”

A December 2002 Wall Street Journal [19] article
<http://www.islamicsupremecouncil.org/CMS/Topics/insideUS/1218159502002.htm>
relates some additional information about the terrorist connections of AMCE
advisory council member Yacub Mirza:

According to court records and Justice Department documents, Mr. Mirza and
several associates are suspected of funding the Palestinian Islamic Jihad,
which targets Israeli civilians with suicide bombers. U.S. officials
privately say Mr. Mirza and his associates also have connections to al-Qaeda
and to other entities officially listed by the U.S. as sponsors of
terrorism.

Another [20] FBI memo
<http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/159.pdf>  obtained by
the Investigative Project states that al-Shingieti’s organization, IIIT, was
one of the “Ikhwan organizations” that “are involved in organizing political
support which involves influencing both public opinion in the United States
as well as the United States government.” This political influence campaign
was considered the first phase in a plan “to institute the Islamic
revolution in the United States,” according to the FBI document.

It is appropriate to revisit these extensive contacts between AMCE member
organizations and officials and the international Muslim Brotherhood
network, and even activity by AMCE leaders in support of Islamic terrorist
organizations, because another Muslim Brotherhood [21] strategic document
<http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/case_docs/445.pdf>  entered
into evidence by federal prosecutors in the Holy Land Foundation trial
revealed that the activity of these organizations in the U.S. is part of a
“grand jihad” to [22] destroy
<http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/opinion/columnists/rdreher/s
tories/DN-dreher_09edi.ART.State.Edition1.4235f88.html>  the West from
within:

The process of settlement is a “civilization-jihadist process” with all the
word means. The Ikhwan 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.

These connections and the Muslim Brotherhood’s stated goal of waging a
“grand jihad” inside the U.S. raise particular concerns considering
statements [23] reported
<http://www.islamicsupremecouncil.org/CMS/Topics/Leaders/119111662002.htm>
by the Wall Street Journal made by al-Shingieti’s current boss, Jamal
al-Barzinji, at a fall 2001 Organization of Islamic Conference meeting in
Qatar, bragging how he and his associates had successfully infiltrated
Washington:

At this time, the president and his administration are continually seeking
the counsel and input of American Muslim leaders. At no other time has the
Muslim community in America been more effective in relation to the processes
of American government.

When considering the concerted and extensive effort by the Muslim
Brotherhood to infiltrate the U.S. government, we can gain insight into how
Abubaker al-Shingieti has transitioned from being a top official in the
genocidal Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood regime, to a top official in the
U.S.-based Muslim Brotherhood network, to leading the U.S. Muslim
community’s outreach to the Obama administration as the head of American
Muslims for Constructive Engagement.

Investigating his background we find that despite his recent image makeover
as an [4] expert
<http://www.icrd.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=279&Itemid=12
6>  in interfaith relations and reconciliation — a dramatic change from his
service as a henchman to a genocidal government — that Abubaker al-Shingieti
has not changed his Muslim Brotherhood allegiances in his various
transitions, just merely changed employers. Many of his AMCE colleagues have
made similar transitions to respectability without distancing themselves
from their terrorist ties.

What’s a little genocide between friends? Thus we can expect that the agenda
al-Shingieti carries in his contacts with the Obama administration will
continue to be in service to the Muslim Brotherhood’s “grand jihad” he has
served for the past two decades.

It may be better to be a live jackal than a dead lion, but it is better
still to be a live lion. And usually easier. - Robert A. Heinlein
