February 15th, 2012 by Joe Newby Yousef al-Khattab, co-founder of the Islamist website and group Revolution Muslim, endorsed GOP Presidential candidate Ron Paul in a Youtube video posted earlier this month.
“In the United States I believe in the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, because I believe that is the most beneficial thing that we have availabe to us as of right now which is within our goal, and of course you have to vote for Ron Paul to get that,” al-Khattab said in a rambling 7-minute video. Walid Shoebat<http://www.shoebat.com/blog/2012/02/14/video-former-al-qaeda-supporter-terror-suspect-endorses-ron-paul/>notes that al-Khattab “once supported Osama bin Laden,” the terrorist responsible for the 9/11 attacks. al-Khattab, born Joseph Cohen<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_Muslim>- an American Jew who converted to Islam in 2000, told NPR in 2010 the group he help found and later left was supposed to be a radical Islamist organization. NPR <http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130519592> added: "All we want is the non-Muslims, at this point, off the lands of Muhammad. ... We want the *kafirs* out of it," Khattab said in one interview, using a term for infidels or Muslim nonbelievers. When asked if he wanted Islam to take over the world, his answer was unequivocal: "Of course I want it to ... and it will." To promote that world view, Khattab and a friend of his — Columbia University graduate Younes Abdullah Mohammed — started a group called Revolution Muslim. Khattab says it was supposed to be both a radical Islamic organization and a movement. It operates openly and freely in New York City and on the Web. He says their blog receives 1,500 hits a day, while the Revolution Muslim YouTube channel has almost 1,000 subscribers. The group's goals include establishing Islamic law in the U.S., destroying Israel and taking al-Qaida's messages to the masses. On Tuesday, former Paul staffer Eric Dondero wrote at Libertarian Republican<http://www.libertarianrepublican.net/2012/02/good-news-ron-paul-wins-coveted-youseff.html> : The group, based in New York, works to spread radical Jihadist philosphy on-line. They refer to themselves as "E-hadists." One of the groups members Younus Abdullah Muhammed recently plead "guilty to using [the] internet to Solicit Murder and encourage Violent Extremism." NPR’s Dina Temple-Raston wrote that Revolution Muslim “has its own gossamer connections to terrorism,” and added: A list of its recent members reads like a who's who of American homegrown terrorism suspects. One has been arrested for wanting to launch an attack on the Long Island Rail Road for al-Qaida; three others were intercepted getting on flights to join a terrorist group in Somalia. An editor believed to be behind an online magazine for al-Qaida's arm in Yemen<http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130439697>was a regular in Revolution Muslim chat rooms, as was Jihad Jane <http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124815189>, the Philadelphia woman arrested last year for plotting to kill a Danish cartoonist. In the video, however, al-Khattab said that everything “should be done Constitutionally” adding that all America produces is “pornography and ammunition.” Calling Israel a terrorist state, al-Khattab says he agrees with Ron Paul’s foreign policy, and further states that the United States should have nothing to do with Israel. Dondero added: In an even creepier video released just two days ago, Al-Khattab talks extensively about his expectation of being arrested for terrorist links. He rants against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. And once again, he blames Jews ("the zionists") for his troubles with the law. “The question is... where can we speak about the crimes of our foreign policy. And it is a fact... and how can we help to stop funding of the enemy zionist entity,” he said. “This certainly doesn’t help Paul’s attempts to quash accusations<http://rightwingnews.com/election-2012/statement-from-fmr-ron-paul-staffer-on-newsletters-anti-semitism/>that he’s anti-Jewish,” Shoebat wrote. Nor will it help Paul convince conservative Republicans he should be the GOP nominee to run against Barack Obama in the fall.
