President Obama has announced the addition of Dalia Mogahed to the President’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Ms Mogahed has a history as an apologist for radical Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood. Much of her work has been in conjunction with her mentor, John Esposito.
Last year Gallup Press has published a book Who Speaks for Islam? By John L. Esposito, one of the Muslim Brotherhoods biggest supporters in the US (Prince Alwaleed bin Talal's Georgetown stooge), and Esposito protegee, the head of Gallup's Muslim division, Dalia Mogahed. The book claimed that that their research proved that most Muslims are peace-loving moderates just like us. The amazing part of their research was THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO FIND THE RIGHT NUMBERS! They just lied about what the numbers mean.

ON THE INTERNET:
Shame on the “Conservatives” who cheered Bush on when he proposed these Government funded “faith based” programs.
Okay. Raise your hand if you’re surprised.
He did...promise change. This is change,
It becomes more and more evident that Zero and his flock are intent upon inciting a civil war, with the purpose of eliminating the population of as many white folk and seniors as possible, thus facilitating the theft that the Looter-in-chief has initiated with his porkulus and budget plans
No Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians or Quakers?
This is even a bit much for BO.
Note the name is "faith based and neighborhood partnerships." I posit that it will evolve into mostly neighborhood partnerships before too long.
The first person listed is Diane Baillargeon, President & CEO, Seedco
Looks suspiciously similar to ACORN.
And add in the brownshirt brigade that he has pushed in the legislature... What a concept.
When those listed folks start erecting statues of 0bama to bow down too - the brownshirts will be there to enforce mandatory worship of all subject...err....citizens.
The List, ping
