Destroying America from within

A powerful new book is wreaking havoc with the reputation myriad
Islamic organizations in America have been carefully cultivating for
years. Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that’s Trying to
Islamize America (WND Books, 2009) reveals that, far from the moderate
Muslim “mainstream” they profess to represent, these entities are
associated with the insidious Muslim Brotherhood - an international
criminal enterprise that has the self-professed mission of “destroying
Western civilization from within.”
Muslim Mafia is the product of acclaimed journalist and author Paul
Sperry and former Air Force investigator P. David Gaubatz. Much of it
is informed by a six-month undercover operation conducted by the
latter, his son Chris and several others into the organization Sperry
calls the tip of the Brotherhood’s spear in America: the Council on
American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Chris Gaubatz and two female researchers affected the appearance of
Muslims who adhere to the theo-political-legal program authoritative
Islam calls “Shariah.” They volunteered as interns with CAIR and, in
due course, were taken into the confidence of senior officials
including notably the organization’s co-founder and executive
director, Nihad Awad, and Ibrahim Hooper, its aggressive spokesman.
Such was the professionalism of Chris Gaubatz’s undercover work that
he was given boxes of documents to dispose of - which he did, in a
fashion. Upon discovering that the papers included materials relating
to CAIR’s strategic plans, personnel, modus operandi and funding
sources, the investigative team reviewed them carefully for evidence
of conduct at odds with U.S. national security and other interests, if
not downright criminal behavior. Copies were made and 52 of the
thousands of pages the younger Gaubatz was given by CAIR are
reproduced in the book’s appendix.
Muslim Mafia draws on Chris Gaubatz’s findings to paint a troubling
portrait of CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood-tied entities doing
business under such names as the Islamic Society of North America
(ISNA), the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), the Muslim Students
Association (MSA), the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), etc.
These organizations are working to transform the United States into an
Islamic nation, governed not by the Constitution but by Shariah and
subordinated ultimately to a global Muslim theocracy.
Toward that end, Muslim Mafia shows how CAIR has assiduously sought to
penetrate U.S. decision-making circles, mounting successful influence
operations against the executive, congressional and judicial
branches. Its agents have been: included in official outreach efforts
to the Muslim American community; selected by the State Department to
represent the United States to foreign Muslim populations through
government-underwritten speakers programs overseas; tapped to provide
“sensitivity training” to the FBI and other law enforcement
organizations; and prominently involved in legal proceedings advancing
Shariah’s supremacist program.
In addition, CAIR officials like Hooper have been perceived as
exemplary representatives of Muslims in America by many in the media -
the sort of error that the Brotherhood and its ilk capitalize upon in
order to legitimize their operations and further expand their
influence.
Thanks to Muslim Mafia, we know that it is neither accurate nor
desirable to afford the Council on American Islamic Relations such
legitimacy, nor prudent to accede to its demands. Far from the
grassroots powerhouse it professes to be, CAIR is exposed as a fraud.
In the words of Sperry and Gaubatz, “Like the Wizard of Oz who used
smoke and mirrors to transform his modest stature into something
larger than life, CAIR furiously works its own levers and buttons to
create an illusion of size and power.”
In fact, the authors reveal that the organization may have as few as
2,000 members nationwide and is running serious operating deficits.
They contend that, but for significant infusions of foreign funding -
“some 60 percent of CAIR’s total budget,” the organization would not
be able to stay in business.
Sperry and Gaubatz identify such funding for CAIR as coming from
“individuals, foundations and sovereign wealth funds closely
identified with Arab governments.” Among these generous donors are
members of the Saudi royal family and the kingdom’s preeminent
institutions for spreading Shariah, including the World Association of
Muslim Youth (WAMY).
Even CAIR’s professions of being the guardian of Muslims’ rights and
interests are shown by Sperry and Gaubatz to be fraudulent. For
example, the undercover investigation revealed evidence that dozens of
poor Muslim immigrants were misled into believing they were receiving
legal advice from a CAIR employee who turned out not to be a lawyer
and to be dunning them for services he had not rendered. According to
a lawsuit filed on behalf of victims of this fraud, when CAIR
discovered the truth, the organization covered it up and allegedly
threatened to sue the latter if they went public.
Muslim Mafia puts us all on notice: The Council on American Islamic
Relations - and, for that matter, other organizations that were, like
CAIR, identified last year by the government as associated with the
Muslim Brotherhood in the course of the successful prosecution of the
Brotherhood’s Holy Land Foundation on charges of supporting terrorism
- are part of the problem we face from Shariah, not part of the
solution.
If America is to avoid being “destroyed from within,” we must not only
recognize this reality. We must act on it. Messrs. Sperry and
Gaubatz have rendered a real public service by exposing the truth
about the Muslim Brotherhood in America in a highly readable and
accessible way. Now it is up to us to ensure that the Muslim Brothers
are treated as they enemies they are, not as reliable allies in the
War for the Free World.

Political correctness is destroying Europe.
America will be the next down the PC tube
greased by academic idiots like Scott Erb,
Noam Chumpsky, and Ward Churchill, and
Slick Willy & Hilly, Algore & Pelosi, and
now Barak Hussein Muhammad Obama, too.
