*Obama team kept list of Muslims for top jobs, excluded non-Muslims* October 24, 2016 5:48 pm By Robert Spencer <https://www.jihadwatch.org/author/samir> 40 Comments <https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/10/obama-team-kept-list-of-muslims-for-top-jobs-excluded-non-muslims#comments> “High-profile Muslim Americans tend to be the subject of a fair amount of blogger criticism, and so the individuals on this list would need to be ESPECIALLY carefully vetted.” As a “blogger” critic, I am gratified to see this, but it is odd, since so many high-profile Muslim appointments were so obviously *not* carefully vetted. Take, for example, Mohamed Elibiary, who believes that the U.S. is an Islamic country <http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/10/muslim-dhs-adviser-mohamed-elibiary-united-states-of-america-an-islamic-country-with-an-islamically> and that the return of the caliphate is “inevitable <http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/06/muslim-senior-dhs-adviser-mohamed-elibiary-inevitable-that-caliphate-returns>,” who was for years a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council. There were questions about Mohamed Elibiary’s true allegiances <http://pjmedia.com/blog/mccarthyism-and-mohamed-elibiary/?singlepage=true> long before he was appointed to the Council. For quite some time, his Twitter profile incorporated the pro-Muslim Brotherhood hand signal, “R4BIA.” And years ago, he was one of the speakers at a December 2004 conference in Dallas titled “A Tribute to the Great Islamic Visionary.” The visionary in question was none other than the founding father of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Ayatollah Khomeini. None of that appeared to bother the Obama team.

According to an email chain <https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/28660> from 2008, John Podesta received lists of exclusively Muslims and Asians to be considered for jobs in the Obama administration. The email chain revealed that in this process, Middle Eastern Christians were purposefully excluded, or set aside in a separate list, with an aide writing, In the candidates for top jobs, I excluded those with some Arab American background but who are not Muslim (e.g., George Mitchell). Many Lebanese Americans, for example, are Christian. In the last list (of outside boards/commissions), most who are listed appear to be Muslim American, except that a handful (where noted) may be Arab American but of uncertain religion (esp. Christian). Also notable, there was concern that some of the Muslims suggested would not survive media scrutiny, with one aide writing, “High-profile Muslim Americans tend to be the subject of a fair amount of blogger criticism, and so the individuals on this list would need to be ESPECIALLY carefully vetted.” She continues, “I suspect some of the people I list would not survive such a vet — but I do personally know, at least in part, virtually all of the candidates in the 1st two categories (but I know very few of those listed for outside boards/commissions).” Within the lists themselves, candidates were further broken down, with every candidate labeled by their nationality and sometimes race. This follows a pattern of the Obama Administration using race and religion to determine hiring, with other leaked emails showing potential political appointees being <http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/07/revealed-obama-labeled-potential-political-appointments-by-race-gender/> labeled with an F for female, B for black, H for Hispanic, and M for Muslim…. ------------------------------ [image: Avast logo] <https://www.avast.com/antivirus> This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/antivirus> __._,_.___ ------------------------------ Posted by: "Beowulf" <[email protected]> ------------------------------ Visit Your Group <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJmYXJiMDhhBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzE0Nzc0MTY5MzU-> [image: Yahoo!
