With Colin Powell <http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27266223/> now repeating the
lie that Barack Obama has "always been a Christian," despite new information
further confirming Obama's Muslim
childhood<http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2008/08/bibliography-my-writings-on-barack-obamas.html>(such
as the Indonesian
school registration <http://www.danielpipes.org/pics/new/706.jpg> listing
him as Muslim), one watches with dismay as the Democratic candidate manages
to hide the truth on this issue.
Instead, then, let us review a related subject – Obama's connections and
even indebtedness, throughout his career, to extremist Islam. Specifically,
he has longstanding, if indirect ties to two institutions, the Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), listed by the U.S. government in 2007 as
an unindicted co-conspirator <http://www.danielpipes.org/rr/blog_32.pdf> in
a Hamas-funding trial; and the Nation of Islam (NoI), condemned by the
Anti-Defamation
League<http://www.adl.org/main_nation_of_islam/what_is_the_nation_of_islam.htm>for
its "consistent record of racism and anti-Semitism."
First, Obama's ties to Islamists:
-
The Khalid al-Mansour connection: According to former Manhattan Borough
president Percy Sutton <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EcC0QAd0Ug>,
Al-Mansour "was raising money for" Obama's expenses at Harvard Law School.
Al-Mansour, a black American (né Don Warden), became
advisor<http://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/khalid_al_mansour/2008/09/04/127844.html>to
Saudi prince Al-Walid
bin Talal<http://www.arabicnews.com/ansub/Daily/Day/021119/2002111910.html>,
CAIR's largest individual donor. Al-Mansour holds standard Islamist views:
he absolves the Islamist government in Sudan of sponsoring
slavery<http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1077/is_1_57/ai_79515038/pg_2>,
he denies a Jewish tie to
Jerusalem<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIrWrxuR_GM&eurl=http://townhall.com/blog/g/c2df500d-0189-47d8-a454-54de9f6584c3>,
and he wrote a booklet titled "Americans Beware! The Zionist Plot Against
S. Arabia <http://www.halalco.com/al-mansour.html>." (Both Obama and
al-Mansour deny Sutton's
account<http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Obama_camp_denies_Sutton_story.html>
.)
-
The cover of one of Khalid al-Mansour's books, "The Mind and the Mindless
- Will the West Rule Forever."
The Kenny
Gamble<http://philadelphiatribune.v1.myvirtualpaper.com/ThePhiladelphiaTribune/2008082601?page=3>(also
known as Luqman Abdul-Haqq) connection:
Gamble<http://www.frontpagemag.com/articles/Printable.aspx?GUID=5C93B778-10A4-4A15-B041-5369C9180CEB>,
a once-prominent pop music producer, cut the ribbon to the Obama campaign
headquarters housed in a south Philadelphia building he owns. Gamble is an
Islamist who buys large swaths of real estate in Philadelphia to
create a Muslim-only
residential
area<http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2007/11/is-kenny-gamble-building-a-muslim-only.html>.
Also, as the self-styled "amir" of the United Muslim Movement, he has many
links to Islamist organizations, including
CAIR<http://pa.cair.com/index.php?Page=chairmessage&Side=about>and the
Muslim
Alliance in North America <http://www.mana-net.org/subpage.php?ID=about>.
(MANA's "amir" is Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993
World Trade Center bombing.)
-
The Mazen
Asbahi<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121797906741214995.html>connection:
The Obama campaign's first Muslim outreach coordinator resigned
after it came to light that he had served on the board of a subsidiary of
the Saudi-sponsored North American Islamic
Trust<http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=site:www.investigativeproject.org+%22North+American+Islamic+Trust%22+>,
with Jamal Said, another unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Hamas funding
trial. Asbahi has ties to CAIR's
Chicago<http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-muslim-americans-perspective,0,1136520.story>and
Detroit<http://google.com/search?q=cache:Ix8zsmkB3YsJ:www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080806/NEWS03/80806062/1005/news03+%22Ex-metro+Detroiter+quits+Obama+post%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us>offices,
to the Islamic
Society of North
America<http://www.isna.net/Programs/pages/Speakers-Services.aspx#17>,
yet another unindicted co-conspirator in the Hamas funding trial,
and to other
Islamist
organizations<http://www.pipelinenews.org/index.cfm?page=obamaid=8.1.08.htm>
.
-
The Minha
Husaini<http://deepbackground.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1525564.aspx>connection:
The campaign's second Muslim outreach coordinator has an
Islamist background, having served as an intern in the Muslim Public
Service Network <http://www.muslimpublicservice.org/alumni_profiles.html>.
Immediately upon her appointment by Obama, she met with a group of about
thirty Muslims including such notorious figures as CAIR's Nihad
Awad<http://www.investigativeproject.org/profile/113>;
the Muslim American Society's Mahdi Bray, who has publicly
supported the Hamas
and Hezbollah
<http://www.investigativeproject.org/document/id/35>terrorist groups;
and Johari
Abdul
Malik<http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/10/obamas-muslim-outreach-coordinator/>of
the Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque in Falls Church, Va., who has advised
American
Muslims: "You can blow up bridges, but you cannot kill people who are
innocent on their way to work."
Second, Obama's ties to the Nation of Islam:
Obama's long-time donor and ally Antoin "Tony" Rezko partnered for nearly
three decades with Jabir Herbert
Muhammad<http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/rezko/444941,CST-NWS-rezko27.stng>,
a son of NoI leader Elijah Muhammad, and says he gave Jabir and his family
"millions of dollars over the years." Rezko also served as executive
director of the Muhammad Ali Foundation, a rogue organization that, without
Ali's permission <http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-14777946.html>,
exploited the name of this CAIR
awardee<http://www.cairmd.org/new/links/pressreleases.asp?newsid=58>
.
Kenny Gamble
Jeremiah Wright, Obama's esteemed pastor for twenty years, came out of a Nation
background<http://www.tnr.com/story_print.html?id=a74fca23-f6ac-4736-9c78-f4163d4f25c7>,
recently he accepted protection from an NoI security
detail<http://blog.washingtonpost.com/roughsketch/2008/04/obamas_pastor_reignites_race_c.html>,
and has praised Louis Farrakhan<http://www.danielpipes.org/rr/farrakhan.pdf>,
the NoI's leader, as one of the "giants of the African American religious
experience." Wright's church celebrated Farrakhan for his having "truly
epitomized greatness."
Farrakhan himself endorsed Obama, calling him "the hope of the entire
world<http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/02/25/farrakhan-praises-obama-as-hope-of-entire-world/>,"
"one who can lift America from her fall," and even "the
Messiah<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OowxMcVTjTE>
."
That Obama's biography touches so frequently on such unsavory organizations
as CAIR and the Nation of Islam should give pause. How many of politicians
have a single tie to either group, much less seven of them? John
McCain<http://news.uk.msn.com/article.aspx?cp-documentid=10050463>charitably
calls Obama "a person you do not have to be scared [of] as
president of the United States," but Obama's multiple links to
anti-Americans and subversives mean he would fail the standard security
clearance process for Federal employees.
Islamic aggression represents America's strategic enemy; Obama's many
insalubrious connections raise grave doubts about his fitness to serve as
America's commander-in-chief.
