Whenever a new government official is identified as “devout Catholic” it’s a signal for the fang-toothed left to search for something they can use against him/her.
When identified as “devout death cultist” we should be afraid - very afraid.
Vetting?, We don't need no stinkin' vetting for 0Dumbo's thugs!
Considering that we still don't know where zer0 was whelped and the fact that he is a muslim, I'd say not much, or none at all.
Jihad at the DHS.
Now he's in DHS.
Napolitano probably has him working overtime investigating any Americans who might "overreact" to poor, poor Major Hasan's job stress episode.

Nice to know DHS is being stocked with foreigners from the countries that are our worst enemies. But why should we be surprised?
Has Glenn Beck looked into these appointments?
BEING a muslim is not going to be perceived as an issue by most people.
Being a terrorist / jihadi / sharia supporter will be perceived as a conflict of interest.
Unless you can provide evidence of the latter, nobody will pay attention to the former.
We’re still a pluralist culture.

Just what we need is a freaking muslim foreigner in national security position.
Wonder how their name came up as a candidate?
devout?
LOLOL
PC run amuck.
Amazing. The main reason the DHS is in existence today is because of what the moslem terrorists did to us. Now to put fellow brothers of their religion, within the DHS, is definitely asinine, imo.

Statement by Secretary Napolitano on President Obama’s Intent to Nominate David Heyman as Assistant Secretary for Policy and her Appointment of Arif Alikhan as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development
Release Date: April 24, 2009
For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
“Today, I am proud to make two key personnel announcements for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—President Obama’s intent to nominate David Heyman as Assistant Secretary for Policy and my appointment of Arif Alikhan as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development. Both individuals bring a broad and impressive array of experience in national security, emergency preparedness and counterterrorism to the Department.
David comes from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), where he founded and was Senior Fellow of the Homeland Security Program and led the Center’s programs on preventing, mitigating and responding to catastrophic terrorism and natural disasters. With more than 20 years of experience in government, the non-profit community and the private sector, he is a highly regarded expert in U.S. national security policy and international affairs.
Arif comes from Los Angeles Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa’s office, where he served as Deputy Mayor for Homeland Security and Public Safety. As a key adviser to the Mayor, he has led the City’s efforts to develop homeland security, emergency management and law enforcement initiatives, including operational oversight of Los Angeles Police, Fire and Emergency Management departments. He is a former federal prosecutor and senior advisor to the U.S. Attorney General, and has partnered extensively with local, state and federal agencies,” said Secretary Napolitano.

Previously, he served as Senior Policy Analyst in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Division of National Security and International Affairs, from 1995-1998, and Director of International Operations at RGTI Systems, a leading firm in industrial automation and supply-chain management, from 1992-1994. Heyman is the author of numerous publications and an adjunct professor in security studies at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Policy. He completed his graduate work at The Johns Hopkins School of International Affairs and his undergraduate work at Brandeis University.
