Arif Alikhan, currently deputy mayor for the city of Los Angeles, was appointed as assistant secretary for the Office of Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security.
"Muslim Democrats welcome Alikhans appointment"
At a banquet/fundraiser for the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California last weekend, the first speaker was Arif Alikhan (Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles - in charge of public safety for the city). He bid farewell, as he is going to take a post as Assistant Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. Arif Alikhan is a devout Sunni and the son of Pakistani immigrants.
Professor Agha Saeed of the American Muslim Task Force (AMT) spoke of the aftermath of 9/11 and the struggle of the Muslim Community against the pervasive atmosphere of Islamophobia and hatred. It was a struggle against the tide - a very strong tide - to prevent Muslims in America from being marginalized and silenced.
Professor Saeed...issued five demands from Muslims to the Department of Justice. These demands included a cessation to the infiltration by spies of mosques and an end to the introduction of agents provocateur. In addition there was to be a cessation of attempts to undermine Muslim groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
This is where Alikhan spoke? He was comfortable with this terror talk?
Why Alikhan? DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano noted Alikhans broad and impressive array of experience in national security, emergency preparedness and counterterrorism. I am not sure what she is talking about (neither is she, I am sure.)
Arif Alikhan was appointed Deputy Mayor of LA - picked from relative obscurity.
He began his career seven years ago, when he took a job with the Department of Justice hunting down computer hackers, crooks who were selling merchandise on Ebay at rock-bottom prices. In his former position as an assistant US attorney, Alikhan consistently did his work accurately and silently, never producing any headlines. But then he suddenly became one of the most important men in Los Angeles, America's second-largest city after New York.
He took the position of Deputy Mayor in November 2006. The year that the Congress went Democrat and history and America took a disastrous turn. How does an obscure bureaucrat a and devout Muslim come to the position of Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles - in charge of public safety for the city? And now Assistant Secretary to DHS?
Un-indicted co-conspirator CAIR was thrilled at the appointment: CAIR-LA Congratulates Calif. Muslim Appointed to DHS Post , Arif Alikhan will serve as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development.
Back in 2007, Alikhan was instrumental in removing the Muslim terror tracking plan in LA.
The controversial Muslim 'Mapping' Plan of the Los Angeles Police Department is now "dead on arrival" according to Chief William Bratton. "It is over and not just put on the side," said Chief Bratton in a meeting with the Muslim leadership of Southern California on Thursday, November 15th. The meeting was moderated by Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles, Arif Alikhan and attended by Deputy Chief Mike Downing.
Chief Bratton acknowledged the hurt and offense caused to Muslims and agreed to send a letter to the Muslim community announcing the official termination of the 'mapping' plan.
A major reason for the termination of the 'mapping' plan was the Muslim community's vociferous opposition and active civic engagement in making themselves heard beyond Los Angeles. Muslim organizations demonstrated a strong unity of purpose and message on the issue of 'mapping' that led to a position of strength for Muslims in the meeting. Those involved in the initial phases of this controversy were the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, and Muslim Advocates.
The lunatics are indeed running the asylum.
It’s still insanity. He is doing more and more to turn Americans away from him. He has no idea what he is doing to his presidency.
Kennedy managed to keep a leash on him while he was alive, now there is no one to do that.
I've not heard that before. You think Kennedy kept him reined in a bit?
Kennedy is the one that backed and promoted him. He wouldn’t be where he is today if it hadn’t been for Teddy and the clan. He changed radically when Kennedy died and the strings were cut.
I knew Kennedy backed him, of cours, but I had not thought about how much more of the true Obama he has shown since Kennedy died.
Definitely food for thought.
gee, I remember the olden days when some folks were afraid a Catholic President might have loyalty to the Vatican over the USA
Uh....”the hurt and offense caused to Muslims”??? What about the hurt and offense that Muslims EVERYWHERE want to cause America and Americans? What about the hurt and offense that Muslims caused on 9/11? And just last week at Fort Hood and on and on and on and on.
It’s only a matter of time before we get nuked AND bio/chem attacked by these “hurt and offended” Muslimes. And the Muslime CIC is greasing the skids and paving their way towards their fondest desire. To destroy America.
I keep having to ask.....
pitchfork time YET?
The article is from June of this year.
This may give you a little additional insight as to what is going on.

Exposing Roots of Terrorism In USA
Title is a bit misleading...I think.
I sense a trend here.
This is a clear and obvious move by the loonies to undermine our national security by giving unvetted muslims (and czars as well) access to our nations secrets. Keep stocking up.
This in-your-face appointment is disgraceful, especially at this time.
REMINDER: HASAN WAS ON OBAMA’S DHS TRANSITION TEAM. HELLLOOO. IS ANYBODY LISTENING?
