Newly released records confirm a 2012 Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) report that the State Department cleared the way for a visiting delegation of Muslim Brotherhood officials to enter the country without undergoing routine inspection by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents.
The April 2012 visit came before the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate was elected Egypt's president, although the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) had won a plurality of seats in parliamentary elections. The expedited entry is known as a "port courtesy" normally reserved for high-ranking visiting government officials and dignitaries.
[...] The Muslim Brotherhood has open connections with Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist group which was created to be the Brotherhood's Palestinian jihadist wing. That fact would have made a secondary inspection for the delegation a natural, if not for the State Department's instructions.
A U.S. official familiar with immigration procedures told the IPT in 2012 that the exemption for the Brotherhood delegation was "extraordinary."
The records' release comes as the IPT has exclusively reported that at least two Syrian clerics have obtained visas to come to the United States for fundraising tours. For instance, Sheik Mohammad Rateb al-Nabulsi is in the middle of an 11-city tour across America co-sponsored by the Syrian American Council (SAC) and the Wylie, Texas-based Shaam Relief. He apparently obtained a visa despite his written edicts which cast all Jews as legitimate suicide bombing targets in Israel and his saying, "Homosexuality leads to the destruction of the homosexual. That's why homosexuality carries the death penalty."
Last spring, Sheik Osama al-Rifai raised $3.6 million during fundraisers in the United States. He later endorsed the Islamic Front, a coalition of groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. Some of the Front's members have al-Qaida ties.

these bozos in charge now would be unqualified for high school government day....
Obviously a misspelling : should be "Sham Relief "
Yeah, but granny across America aren’t getting anywhere with their heinous plans. Whew...
And this guy got the full I-think-you’re-a-dangerous-terrorist treatment by the TSA.
I have seen islamics women waved through at DIA, why owuld anyone be surprised.
has anyone checked to assure the same ones departed as arrived??
many overstay their visa and get lost in the NY maze
been going on for years
MB = al Qaeda
unchecked bags = MANPADS and other weapons
STATE DEPT = traitors to the US Constitution
Bump
I don’t believe Muslims are ever searched, because it might offend them. And I’ll bet they’re the only ones whose phone records aren’t stolen every day by the NSA.
I’ve heard his speak before. Evan Sayet (I keep calling him ‘Sayaret’, which is Israeli SF) is absolutely dead-on.
WHAAATTTTT?
Sadly this is yet another foot in the proverbial door.
We're too busy protecting America from the threat that worries the far left to bother Obama's good friends from the Muslim Brotherhood.
security is a leftist lie. it is about control.
That is nothing but pure treason - giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Everyone involved in this decision from the head of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection on up to the top should be indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced, and hanged as traitors to the United States of America.
Why wouldn’t they? They’re Dear Leader’s pals and allies.
Great — here comes another 9-11
